Why does Bat-Man say Harvey was the best of them?

Question

he was the real hero, capturing Lau, doing all the good works.. Dent and the other cop were the ones doing the power jiggles...so why did they want to make Harvey the public figure?

Answer 1

Because Harvey didn't have to wear a mask to establish justice. Batman fought crime, but physically. Harvey brought them down justly.

Answer 2

I think it was because unlike batman, he wasn't fighting evil for a personal vendetta or revenge or anything like that. He was just doing good for the people of the city. But being a fictional story, that's the best I can guess.

Answer 3

watch the movie and PAY attention they do explain it

Answer 4

he still feels that he was being a villain b/c he let so many ppl die and he did nothing about it (so he and gothem city believe), and also he feels like c**p b/c he let rachel die. and batman doesnt fight for glory or personal gain. he does it because its the right thing to do. in the movie they said some thing like he had to become the very thing he fought to truly fight it....thats why its called the dark knight....he has to become the bad guy to beat the bad guys. its a pun :) think about it! makes you want to hop in your time machine and see the next one doesnt it?! oh and i dont think thats the last of harvey dent......

p.s the joker ROCKS!!!!!!!
