Showing Your Face

The ongoing question of who will play the character of Two-Face in next year's Bat sequel, The Dark Knight has apparently finally been answered:

Stax of IGN has the news via The Hollywood Reporter...

Aaron Eckhart has been confirmed as being in "final negotiations" to play Harvey Dent in the upcoming The Dark Knight. District Attorney Harvey Dent begins as an ally of Batman and Gotham cop Jim Gordon, only to end up becoming the horrifically scarred, coin-flipping villain Two-Face.

Eckhart Wins The Coin Toss

Dent has previously been portrayed onscreen by Billy Dee Williams and Tommy Lee Jones, who starred opposite Eckhart in The Missing.

...There's still no word on whether Maggie Gyllenhaal has indeed replaced Katie Holmes as Rachel Dawes....

While Eckhart has a solid acting resume, like the casting of Heath Ledger as the Joker in the film, I have a hard time seeing Eckhart in the Dent role, as well.

In my opinion, Edward Norton Ryan Phillippe, or Ethan Hawke all seemed like better possibilities. Here's hoping director Christopher Nolan will be able to pull two rabbits out of the same casting hat on this movie.
