(at around 20 mins) When Harvey Dent discusses Gotham's politics and referencing Ancient Rome, Rachel brings up Julius Caesar, which leads Dent to saying "You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain". In Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar", the title character is portrayed to be a man of notable ignorance, whose "partial deafness" implies that he only listens to that which he deems relevant, rather than being an open-minded leader. In the aftermath of Harvey Dent's transformation into his "Two-Face" persona, he loses his sense of reason, instead, only discussing matters that relate to Rachel's murder and his "betrayal" by Gordon and Batman. When Batman "kills" him for crossing the line, it almost mirrors Brutus' slaying of Caesar, a man who was his friend, but was no longer serving his people the way to which he swore.
