that was one of the first things i took note of while watching the movie. It's an extremely deep film. The movie was based around moral decisions, what a chracter is forced to decide when things get drastic.
**SPOILERS**
for example, Two Face avoided these decisions for some time by flipping a coin. Before his wife had died, he only had one outcome from his coinflip, the good one. but after his face was burnt, one side of the coin was burned....which also symbolizes what happened to his physical appearance. To make things even deeper, he went against his newly formed morals towards the end of the film, and shot batman when the coin told his otherwise. Deep shit.
