In response, Borg suggested that businesses will return to Gotham once they'd arrested and imprisoned Grissom. Despite the Mayor's enthusiasm for the prep, both he and the Commissioner express concerns of budgeting and public safety. The following day, Dent and Gordon discussed preparations for the city's 200th anniversary celebrations with Borg.

At a press event organized by Mayor Borg, Dent announced their efforts and progress to Gotham's public. Unknown to either party, their efforts were also helped by Batman, who secretly provided them evidence for these.

From a young age, Dent would become obsessed with his fate being decided by the flip a coin. In his childhood, Harvey spent time at Royal Autobody owned by Jerome Otis. He lost his mother as an infant when she was hit by a drunk driver whilst walking him. Harvey Dent grew up in Burnside, a prominent black neighborhood in Gotham City.
