As has been rumored (along with just about any actor with at least half a face), Aaron Eckhart will indeed be bringing his charm and heroic jaw to Christopher Nolan’s follow-up film, joining Christian Bale’s Bruce Wayne, Heath Ledger’s Joker, Gary Oldman’s Jim Gordon, and (theoretically) Maggie Gyllenhaal’s Rachel Something.
For those unaware, Dent is a friend of Bruce Wayne and ultimately becomes the villain Two-Face, whose visage is half-covered by a horrific scar that also causes some serious personality issues and dating difficulties.
