There are some great movie debates out there where you can understand where the other side is coming from, even if you don’t agree with them. However, this whole debate about if Two-Face was alive or dead at the end of The Dark Knight is one I never understood. He was clearly dead. There was no “debate” about it. I’ve said from the beginning that there was absolutely NOTHING in the movie to even remotely suggest that Two-Face might actually be alive and I never understood why anyone would believe otherwise.
Anyway, any debate about the matter has now been officially put to rest. Two-Face himself, Aaron Eckhart has officially come out and said “I’m Dead”. The folks over at AICN interviewd him recently and this is what he said:
Beaks: And now the obligatory question: can you conceive of any way in which you might be back in–
Aaron Eckhart: (Laughs) No.
Beaks: Not a chance?
Eckhart: No. I’m dead. I couldn’t even get the words out of my mouth. “Hey, Chris, am I–?” “No. You’re dead. You’re dead.”
I still have no idea why anyone ever thought he wasn’t. It’s not like the movie even suggested he was alive at the end of it. He was done. And when I would discuss it with people, the only argument they would usually make is something along the lines of “He’s not dead because he can’t be dead”. That’s some sharp logic right there folks. :)
Anyway, that settles that. On with our day.
