Connections

  • The site also contains references to real-life current events.
    • The death of "Nick Adelaide" seems to be a reference to the death of Australian actor Heath Ledger who played The Joker.
    • The mention of a political aide calling the opposition "a monster" is a reference to the 2008 US presidential elections, where an aide in Barack Obama's camp referred to Hilary Clinton as "a monster."

Media

  • The "legal lass" is Rachel Dawes, who gives a short press conference defending Dent which is featured on the site, but shown to be removed. But by investigating the URLs of other multimedia on other sites (namely Notaro's photo in the news section of Gothampolice.com, which leads to http://www.thegothamtimes.com/media/jlevine/public/ ) the video was found by replacing the file name.
    The Zshare .mov file can be downloaded here.
Hello. My name is Rachel Dawes, I'm an Assistant District Attorney for Gotham City and I work with Harvey Dent. I know, first-hand, the integrity which Mr. Dent brings to his job. He commits all his energy to fighting crime and corruption. And the results are making this city a safer place.

Now, a group of individuals has recently attempted to smear Mr. Dent's reputation. But rather than discredit him, these lies have only validated his campaign to take back our city, which is making the criminals and the corrupt both desperate and afraid. And that is the greatest endorsement to fall.

Harvey Dent believes in two things. Justice, and Gotham City. This is why I believe in Harvey Dent, and why I think you should too.

Thank you.
