Those that have seen Batman Forever are familiar with the Tommy Lee Jones-portrayed character of Two-Face. They're also familiar with the lucky coin he carries around.
With that in mind, take a look at the following image from The Dark Knight.
In it, Aaron Eckhart - who takes on Harvey Dent/Two-Face in the latest Batman movie - is shown fingering a certain round piece of metal:

If it were up to Peter Travers, a movie critic with Rolling Stone, Heath Ledger would be nominated for an Oscar for his role in The Dark Knight.
"I can only speak superlatives of Ledger, who is mad-crazy-blazing brilliant as the Joker," Travers writes in the movie's first published review.
The praise certainly doesn't stop there, as Travers goes on to say:
"It's typical of Ledger's total commitment to films as diverse as Brokeback Mountain and I'm Not There that he does nothing out of vanity or the need to be liked."
Might Heather Ledger earn an Oscar for his work in The Dark Knight?
Travers added that there's "no plastic mask for Ledger. His face is caked with moldy makeup that highlights the red scar of a grin, the grungy hair and the yellowing teeth of a hound fresh out of hell." He then makes his Academy Award pitch:
"If there's a movement to get him the first posthumous Oscar since Peter Finch won for 1976's Network, sign me up."
Earlier this week, Entertainment Tonight gave viewers a sneak peek at The Dark Knight.
Looks like a motorcycle crash gives The Joker a free shot at Batman in the clip. Take a look:
In this new television spot for The Dark Knight, we get a new glimpse of The Joker.
Beware, fans that don't want too much revealed: the following clip does show some pretty cool scenes.
In this quick clip from The Dark Knight, we get our first look (or listen, anyway) at Two-Face:
Here's the clearest picture yet The Joker from The Dark Knight.
As the world sadly knows, of course, this was the last role of Heath Ledger's career.
Meanwhile, here's the latest TV spot for the movie:
We already knew that Batman loved his gadgets, but turns out the Caped Crusader is also a fan of strong bones and muscles.
Christian Bale, decked out in his famous superhero suit, is starring in a new Got Milk? ad. The copy reads:
Others reload. Batman refuels. Research suggests that milk's unique mix of nutrients can help athletes recover after exercise. And its protein can help build muscle. So train hard and drink lowfat or fat free milk, because the Batmobile isn't the only thing that needs to refuel.
The Dark Knight comes out on July 18.
As summer approaches, publicity for The Dark Knight is reaching a fever pitch.
As an example, you can check out one movie trailer for this blockbuster by following that link - and you can do the same below, as the studio has released a second preview of the film:
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]."

It's unclear at the moment if The Dark Knight will set any sort of box office record this summer.
But we're pretty sure it's set a record for most movie posters for one film. Here's the latest, one being circulated mostly around Great Britain:
