It was announced a couple weeks ago, but I've been a lazy sack lately, and I wanted to post on projects other than "The Dark Knight". Aaron Eckhart ("Thank You for Smoking", "The Black Dahlia", "Erin Brockovich") has been casted as Harvey "Two-Face" Dent in the Christopher Nolan's Batman Begins sequel, "The Dark Knight". For all of you out there who are not dorks (shame on you), Harvey Dent is Gotham City's District Attorney. He is one of Bruce Wayne's close friends, and one of Batman's closest Allies. He is horribly scarred with sulfuric acid, destroying half of his face, transforming his into the villainous "Two-Face". The word on the rumor mill is that he will be playing the role in this movie, as well as a second unnamed sequel. Apparently he will be scarred at the end of this film, or very near the beginning of the second. Sounds like pretty solid casting to me, you can judge for yourself. Eckhart will be joining the returning Christian Bale (Bruce Wayne/Batman), Gary Oldman (Lt. Jim Gorden), Michael Caine (Alfred Pennyworth), Morgan Freeman (Lucius Fox), and newcomer Heath Ledger (The Joker). The Dark Knight is due to start filming in April of this year, hitting theatres July 2008, stay tuned for more casting info!

I was actually really excited to hear this. I was a big fan of Eckhart in "Thank you for smoking." I think that he will be a great addition to this cast!
Let's just hope that he's less campy than Tommy Lee Jones in "Batman and Robin".
eckhart was good in "the core." too bad for him that hilary swark is more manly that he is.
Eckhart is perfect for early Harvey Dent. Jones was good as two-face in batman and robin but this cast is only getting better. what do u think of the joker casting, do not like it myself but thinking it could be good. good job on the blog
ooo. nice choice! well, i guess then, you knew about Katie Holmes.
Christopher Nolan rules.
