While Heath Ledger’s posthumous performance as the Joker may have netted almost all of the praise, Aaron Eckhart’s characterization of Harvey ‘Two-Face’ Dent was pretty good too.
Keeping that in mind, the actor was questioned whether his character would be back in the third film.
“He’s dead,” he bluntly put it. “I asked Chris if there was a chance of coming back. ‘No way,’ he said. ‘He’s toast.’”
As for him being signed up for another film, Eckhart once again bluntly stated that “I’m not coming back” and that he is a “nobody… I’m a cog… I have no say over this sort of stuff.”
The second Batman Begins sequel is in talks and is expected sometime in 2010.
Viral marketing for The Dark Knight is reaching fever pitch for the film’s anticipated July 18 release. Following up from Joker’s to-do list, as well as various Gotham City related events, the viral site is now host to a brand new poster that gives us a look into what the Joker has in plan for “the Bat”.
The movie also features Two-Face, though it is not known how big a role he will play in the movie, but I’m pretty sure everyone will be overshadowed by Heath Ledger’s excellent rendition of the infamous character. May he rest in peace.
 
Ain’t it Cool News posted the above pic of Harvey Dent, the second villain to feature in the upcoming Batman sequel, The Dark Knight. Directed by Christopher Nolan, who revamped the franchise with Batman Begins, I knew the film was going to be dark. But this goes beyond dark, it’s downright scary!
Now, I don’t know whether this is real or not. Last year Slashfilm posted some pics of Two-Face which they revealed were fake. And there’s also rumours that Two-Face, played by Aaron Eckhart, will only briefly appear in The Dark Knight, instead being set up for the next inevitable sequel. I really hope this pic isn’t fake, it would really add to the intensity of a film that is already disturbing (check out the trailer)- and that’s even before you realise that the Joker is essentially Heath Ledger’s last role.
The Dark Knight is released from July 18th.
