I'm gonna guess you like the movie much, much, much, much more than I did...
I didn't think it was perfect, but I'm sure I didn't find it to be post-existentialist.
The reason I'd put Harvey Dent in the redemptive pile is because it was important to the story that HD be seen as a hero, and remembered for his good deeds rather than his shortcomings.
On a much greater story point, Jim Gordon comes back from the dead to save the protagonist.
