It's a big city. I can't be everywhere. But they don't know where I am. We have a signal now. For when I'm needed. But when that light hits the sky, it's not just a call. It's a warning. To them. Fear… is a tool.

The Batman (2022) dir. Matt Reeves

work will always come before everything else in dent's life . he is so committed and so confident that he can make a difference in gotham that if anything , or anyone for that matter , tries to get between him and his mission to rescue the city from corruption , they'll be met with hostility . dent has grown so used to seeing blackmail , bribery , bullying and intimidation run rampant around his workplace that he doesn't really fully trust anyone . so , even simple advice suggesting that he should slow down or not get involved in certain cases , will be met with resistance --- in his mind , the only reason anyone would want him to stop is because they either don't care about the city or have more insidious intentions .

it is not uncommon for harvey to do late nights or to take his work home . no significant adult relationship can flourish in the depths of his carpeted office . few friends are available to sit and watch him type out documents for hours while trying to maintain a conversation in-between paragraphs . although he is good at socialising and seems confident in his interactions with others , harvey is bad at maintaining relationships that aren't somehow connected to his work .

his office is emptied of personality ; he hasn't taken the time to decorate any part of it ( unless a small wall calendar titled great american architecture counts as decoration ) . he's got an old but comfy leather chair , a computer that might need updating and a trashcan usually filled with emptied paper cups . the only thing that you might find interesting about dent's workspace is that his desk usually looks quite organised . clean , emptied of junk , impeccable . but under it hide dozens of boxes overflowing with paperwork . harvey's drawers also have a system that only he seems to be able to navigate through . beneath that organised façade , chaos waits .

“There is an idea of a Patrick Bateman, some kind of abstraction, but there is no real me, only an entity, something illusory. And though I can hide my cold gaze and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours, and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable: I simply am not there.” AMERICAN PSYCHO, 2000 dir. Mary Harron
