In the Flashpoint alternate timeline, Harvey Dent is a judge. When the Joker kidnaps Dent's children, Dent asks Thomas Wayne (that universe's Batman) for help in their search, agreeing to do anything asked. Dent warns Wayne that he will shut down everything Wayne owns, including Wayne Casinos, unless his children are saved.[78] Chief James Gordon locates Joker with Dent's children in Wayne Manor, and goes in without any backup.
