In a new interview with The Los Angeles Times, Aaron Eckhart dropped some significant details about Two-Face in The Dark Knight. Here’s an excerpt:
“I can tell you that, basically, when you look at Two-Face, you should get sick to your stomach. Being the guy under all that, well, that was a lot of fun for me. It’s like you would feel if you met someone whose face had pretty much been ripped off or burned off with acid. I can’t talk about it beyond that because I don’t want to give away too much of the plans by [director Chris Nolan].”

Cinema Blend has published an interesting rumor regarding The Dark Knight.
According to that movie site, a scene has been deleted from the next Batman installment because it too closely reflects the unfortunate passing of star Heath Ledger.
Reportedly, the scene involves The Joker pretending to be dead, photographed in a body bag.
If this rumor is true, we think it’s a mistake by producers. The Joker was Ledger’s final performance. The best way to honor the actor is to showcase the role in its entirety. Don’t panic and cater to overly sensitive, misguided, politically correct-minded people who can’t differentiate between reality and fiction.
What do you think? Should The Dark Knight be edited down due to Ledger’s death?
Warner Bros, has released an official plot synopsis for The Dark Knight. Check it out now:
The Dark Knight reunites director Christopher Nolan with star Christian Bale, who returns to continue Batman’s war on crime. With the help of Lieutenant Jim Gordon (Gary Oldman) and District Attorney Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart), Batman sets out to destroy organized crime in Gotham for good.
The triumvirate proves to be effective, but they soon find themselves prey to a rising criminal mastermind known as The Joker (Heath Ledger), who thrusts Gotham into anarchy and forces the Dark Knight ever closer to crossing the fine line between hero and vigilante.
According to the following images, The Joker takes on multiple roles in The Dark Knight. He isn’t always decked out in clown-like face paint.
Take a look…
The Dark Knight comes out on July 25.
The new Batman movie, The Dark Knight, doesn’t come out until July 18.
To hold you over, we’re adding the four original Batman movies to Reel.
We’re starting with the 1989 Batman that was directed by Tim Burton and starred Michael Keaton as Batman.
This Batman marked a big departure from the television show and the 1966 movie, as it was significantly darker.

When you’re done and be sure and check out our extensive collection of Batman quotes.
In an interview with MTV News, director Christopher Nolan says fans should expect a whole lot from The Dark Knight.
“In this case, literally, we were able to directly carry on and explore the idea that Gary Oldman brings up at the end of Batman Begins, which is the idea of escalation,” said Nolan. “We have seen the rise of Batman, we have seen his rise to power, now what are the criminals going to do? How are they going to fight that? That’s the jumping off point for this film, and we just ran with it as far as we could.”
Christopher Nolan recently commented on the performance of Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight.
“The psychopathic clown, that’s an icon to stand with the guy with the ears and cape. It’s just a wonderful visual relationship, and it’s a terrifying image. I think he’d be very pleased to see we’re just moving ahead as is. If you try to honor somebody, you honor them by respecting their work and putting it out there for as many people to see.
He was immensely proud of the work he did on the film. I feel a great burden to present that in an undistorted form.”
Added Producer Charles Roven about Ledger’s own reaction to final product: “He was just blown away by his own performance. He said, ‘Can I see it again?’ So he was really, really thrilled.”
