About CW Gotham Knights Harvey’s Trigger Music

Does anybody know what is the exact name of that piano music? 'Cause I just find out that the English subtitle of S01E05 in the CW Website reveals a different name...  I really want to know, so I can listen to the whole music.

* Here’s the update from James Stoteraux (one of the showrunners):

https://www.tumblr.com/egoismt/722688731000225792/the-music-for-harveys-personality-trigger-is-the?source=share

"The subtitle is correct that it's Fantasia in D. I think it's from the adagio -- but not 100% sure on that. Our composer David Russo did an arrangement to make it a bit off kilter & imperfect -- almost like a child rehearsing the piece as an echo of young Harvey practicing the piano in the story he told Dr. Meridian."

The music for Harvey's personality trigger is the Fantasia in D Minor, Mozart. (If you need to find tunes in show in the future there are multiple websites that compile that information for shows and movies btw. tunefind is one of them.) Enjoy!

Thank you so much for the precious information!! I'm really grateful for your help. :) Here's what I found in tunefind: https://www.tunefind.com/show/gotham-knights/season-1/235963

The Music For Harvey's Personality Trigger Is The Fantasia In D Minor, Mozart. (If You Need To Find Tunes

But to be honest, after I listened to the whole music of Mozart's Fantasia in D Minor, K.397, I still couldn't find any section of it similar to the piano music in the scene, I don't know why, they just sound different to me, so let's just settle it for now, if new answer comes up in the future, I'll update the information. :) * Here's the update from one of the showrunners:

I Want to Find a Two-Face Comic

I remember that I've seen a comic scanned pic, which shows that Harvey hugs Two-Face and tells him: "I need you." Does anybody know what DC comic the pic belongs to? I want to read the story. Thank you! :)

The Character Setting of Harvey Dent in CW Gotham Knights

After I finished reading Cameron West’s “First Person Plural: My Life as a Multiple, 1998”, and Detective Comics #1062 - #1068, I think Harvey Dent’s symptoms of DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder) described in CW “Gotham Knights” are quite accurate and well written. Losing time and the memory during that period, slowly losing grasp of the reality, anxiety, even the spiraling camera move while listening to the trigger piano music (the shot which implied that Light!Harvey was fading into somewhere else)... these symptoms and feelings were also described in Cameron West’s book. Fugue Harvey (his alter ego) was a piece of Harvey’s mind, split during Harvey’s childhood trauma event to protect himself from the hurt and painful memory. He kept down his burning rage and was capable of being violent to “do what needs to be done”, sort of like the combination of “Switch (one of West’s personalities who was full of anger and the tendency of self-harm)” and “Leif (one of West’s personalities who was a smart and tough action guy)”. Anyway, as Misha said, Harvey’s character setting in the show was really grounded, well thought and felt real to me, kudos to Misha Collins, the writers and showrunners! I truly hope one day there’ll be a chance for us to see how Misha’s Harvey develops the OCD (Obsessive-compulsive Disorder) of flipping the coin to make decisions, instantly changes between himself and his alter ego while bickering with each other in one scene, and becomes the iconic super villain Two-Face who rules half of Gotham City’s Underworld. :)

Thank you so much @about-faces! These information are very helpful. I’m glad that you mentioned Misha’s Harvey in CW Gotham Knights, as a loyal fan, I’m trying to imagine how Harvey’s story would go after S01E13, that’s why I need to read and understand these official perspectives and story arcs. Once again, thank you for your detailed recommendations, you’re an excellent consultant about Harvey! :)

Hi, I want to read some DC comics about how Harvey transformed from former DA to the criminal mastermind who ruled half of Gotham's Underworld (against the Penguin). I've already read/seen: Two-Face: A Celebration of 75 Years Batman: The Long Halloween Batman: Dark Victory (1999) Batman '89 Batman: The Animated Series Batman: The Audio Adventures

Any other reading recommendations? Thanks a lot for your help. :)

So you're looking for origin stories, or at least ones that shed more light on Two-Face's origin? Well first off, I'm glad you read the 75th Anniversary collection, because that has three of my very favorites: the original Harvey Kent trilogy from 1942-43, the Grace Dent story from Secret Origins Special (1989), and "Eye of the Beholder" from Batman Annual #14 (1990).

Besides those, and the ones you've listed, here are a few others to check out. Some are great, some are mixed bags, and some are downright lousy.

First and foremost, I STRONGLY recommend the 1989 Batman newspaper comic strip, which I loved so much that I posted the whole two-year saga on its own tumblr account. You can start from the very beginning right here, but keep in mind that Harvey's storyline--which runs all the way to the very last strip--doesn't really start until the second arc.

Next, Batman: Dual to the Death by Geary Gravel is a YA novelization of the BTAS origin, seamlessly combined with the two-part Batgirl origin episodes. It improves on both the animated versions in small but crucial ways, and it's highly recommended for BTAS fans. Unfortunately, it's pretty hard to find.

On a similar note, Peter David's movie novelization of Batman Forever can be found more easily, either in used book form or on the Internet Archive, and it's absolutely worth reading. I love the movie of Batman Forever, but it's objectively a terrible take on Harvey. The novelization adds SO MUCH, including an original prequel scene with D.A. Harvey Dent, and his ending is far more satisfying.

Cartoon Network's CGI animated series Beware the Batman (2013) also features a series-long origin arc for Harvey Dent, but it's one of the worst takes I've ever seen on the character. He's a petty, selfish, ambitious little prick, an absolute scumbag, completely devoid of depth or tragedy. Thankfully, few have seen this arc, since the majority of Harvey's episodes were never aired after the series was cancelled, but they're all available to watch for those morbidly curious to see just how badly someone can screw up Harvey as a character.

"The Big Burn" from Batman and Robin, vol 2 #24-28 (2014), also collected in B&R volume 5. After the huge DC reboot, this was Harvey new origin, which tried some very different things with him. A VERY mixed bag, but one that ended in a hugely exciting way that makes the whole thing worth reading. Follow it up with its sequel, "Ugly Heart," from Detective Comics #1020-1024, collected in Detective Comics Vol 5: Joker War.

Finally, watch the entirety of the recently-released/cancelled CW series Gotham Knights, with Misha Collins performing a surprisingly rich, interesting, and flawed Harvey Dent origin arc. The show got a lot of shit, some of it undeserved, but Collins' Harvey was an intriguing surprise, and I fear nothing we see from Harvey in any Reevesverse media will bring half as much care and interest to Harvey as GK did, for better or worse. All 13 episodes can be watched for free on CW Seed, region permitting.

EDIT: Oh right also the Telltale Batman video game! I haven't actually played that yet because I know enough about what happens and the illusion of meaningful choice indicative of Telltale games that I just don't feel like putting myself through that. People seem to like it a lot, though! I just... don't put me in a position of choosing to save either Harvey or Selina if you're just going to cheat and have him go evil anyway.
