Aaron Eckhart on Two-Face in "The Dark Knight" sequels

Without a doubt, The Dark Knight is the most successful superhero movie, and may likely become the biggest-ever film at the domestic box office (now at $500 million and counting).

So naturally, ‘will there be a sequel’? Chris Nolan hasn’t signed on for anything,  but if ever… who will play villain(s)?

It’s been rumored that Angelina Jolie wants in as Catwoman and Johnny Depp wants the Riddler. What about Harvey Dent’s Two-Face.

Aaron Eckhart, the surprise star behind Harvey Dent/Two-Face, talked to ComingSoon.net/ Superhero Hype! and straightened the facts out.

CS/SHH!: Is Harvey Dent alive?
Aaron Eckhart: No. He is dead as a door nail.

Now in case we’re still thinking resurrection happens in the movies all the time, Eckhart confesses that Chris Nolan himself said Two-Face is never coming back to haunt Batman, at least not along The Dark Knight storyline. Eckhart is not signed up for more Batman movies either, citing problems with the negotiation. Dang, and just when fans finally find villains they can love! It’s too bad.

Aaron Eckhart is currently promoting his new indie film Towelhead, which opens in NY and LA on September 12, and to the rest of the theaters on September 26.
