The scene
At dinner, Harvey Dent defends Batman by pointing to Rome’s temporary dictators, and says that you either die a hero or live long enough to become the villain. He later becomes Two-Face.
It’s applied to anything that started well and turned bad, like a beloved company or a long-running show.
