If anyone is going to have a reasonable, practical solution to a problem, it’s a politician, am I right? So it’s no surprise that Gotham City Mayor Anthony Garcia (Nestor Carbonell) has passed a recent piece of legislation known as the Harvey Dent Act, presumably early on in the events of The Dark Knight Rises. It serves to close the loopholes that allow organized crime to subsist in the city while marking the masked vigilante known as Batman (Christian Bale) as a villainous force who nearly stamped out Gotham’s hope. It also honors Dent’s sacrifices and establishes a city-wide remembrance on Harvey Dent Day. Isn’t that nice? Hit the jump to check it out.
Sure this piece of legislation isn’t as flashy as the newest trailer we brought you, but it’s a nice tie-in to the ending of The Dark Knight. Check out the act below (via CBM):

Great little plot addition. Fun stuff.
I think this is supposed to take place somewhere between The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises. In other words, it will probably already have been passed in the beginning of Rises.

I’m anxious to see if Commissioner Gordon figures out that Bruce Wayne is Batman based on Wayne’s dependence on a cane and seeing Batman limp away from Dent’s “murder scene”.
Watch the trailer again, TDKR takes place 8 years later and Batman wasn’t crippled at the end the end of Dark Knight. He’s using a cane in reaction to something that happens during the 2nd movie.
I doubt it. I’m sure a reson Bruce Wayne is injured will be created. Hell, in one issue of Batman, Alfred has Dick Grayson total a $100,000 car just to sell the story that Bruce Wayne got in a car accident.
Hush is an incredible book.
Bruce will be using a cane after Bane severely injures him, similar to what happened in the “Knightfall” comics back in the 90s. His limping while running away at the end of TDK won’t have anything to do with that.
Harvey Dent was an inside job. They’re just using his death as an excuse to take our freedoms away.
