Batman news today regarding the villain named 2 face. It appears that although Aaron Eckhart will appear in the film as Harvey Dent – It does guarantee that he will be Two-Face in The Dark Knight. We get the news from beyond the gates via Sci Fi Wire:
Batman Begins writer David Goyer told SCI FI Wire that Harvey Dent will appear in the sequel The Dark Knight—but not necessarily his villainous alter ego, Two-Face, as has been reported. “I think Harvey Dent has been mentioned,” Goyer said in an interview while promoting his upcoming film The Invisible. “I don’t know that Two-Face has been mentioned.”
Though plot details are top-secret, The Dark Knight will reportedly feature the Joker (Heath Ledger) and Dent (Aaron Eckhart) as the nemeses of Batman (Christian Bale). “All I can say is some people raised their eyebrows when they heard there were going to be two villains in the first film [Batman Begins], but I think that one worked out just fine,” he said.
I think Eckhart kicks ass, and am pumped to see him as Two-Face. I would prefer not to see him as Two-Face in The Dark Knight, because the Joker is enough “villain” for this film. Introduce Dent, get us to like him – maybe even have the accident happen near the end of the film. But save the character of Two-Face for the next installment. I hate when films adapted from comics ram in as many villains as they can. It was one of the things I hated about the last Batman franchise, and I am always leery when it seems they are casting more than they should.
I will say that the cast they are shoring up is killer, and it is great news that the scientologist incubator (Katie Holmes) is no longer on board.
