Gordon says that everyone knows that Harvey Dent is Gotham's White Knight, and he certainly lives up to that reputation in the beginning of the film, putting away mob bosses and showing no fear or hesitation when threatened with a gun. When his fiancee is threatened, things change; he's willing to use mental torture to get information. After his accident, he kills some of those responsible and allows others to go free. He threatens innocent people in an attempt at revenge. Does doing bad automatically outweight all of the good he's done? Does temporary insanity (if he is insane) excuse his actions?
From the Dark Knight movie i will admit it was my first time seeing it and most would have to take a second look throught to analyze a subject such as characteristics of a person. my thoughts on Harvey Dent's true nature is that he is the in between. Only because i belive that he wanted what was just to avenge the death of his girlfriend, but went about it the wrong way due to the Joker's highly influencing conversation he had with harvey in the hospital.
if harvet were to have been the hero he would have infact stopped the Joker dead in his tracks the momment the joker handed him the gun. but instead he heard what the Joker had to say and listened leading harvey in the wrong direction. playing him out to be more of the villain.
Notes on content: So how would you label that in-between state? Does he have a TRUE nature if The Joker can influence him so easily?

"if harvet were to have been the hero he would have infact stopped the Joker dead in his tracks the momment the joker handed him the gun"
should be
"If Harvey were to have been the hero, he would have in fact stopped The Joker dead in his tracks the moment The Joker handed him the gun. "
