The Dark Knight: More than The Joker

While The Joker has absorbed most of the The Dark Knight's attention (pretty much since the great ending of Batman Begins), media is now beginning to focus on the buzzed film's other villain, Two Face (who I foresee will end up stealing the show by the closing credits start rolling).

Here's what Aaron Eckhart has to say of his role as the fan-favorite villain previously played by Oscar winner Tommy Lee Jones in Batman Forever (Spoilers):

"The difference between Batman and Two-Face is how far they are willing to go and how they make their point," Eckhart said. "Otherwise, we're talking about vigilante crime-fighting. That's what Batman is all about. He has a strong sense of justice. And Harvey Dent has an extremely strong sense of justice. His fiancée is killed. He's horribly injured. But he is still true to himself. He's a crime fighter, he's not killing good people. He's not a bad guy, not purely."

And here's the most we've seen of Two Face so far...


Is The Dark Knight going to become more than a comic book adaptation?
