Eckhart Hints at Possible Two-Face Return
By Krystal Clark
If you’re a part of the small 2% of the population that hasn’t seen The Dark Knight yet, this article may be considered a bit spoilerish. Last night MTV spoke to Harvey Dent’s portrayer, Aaron Eckhart at the 66th Annual Golden Globe Awards, and the actor opened the floodgates of speculation when asked about a possible Two-Face return, in the third Batman film.
“I think Harvey — if he’s not dead — is in a serious coma,” stated Eckhart, “and I’m not sure he’s coming out. They might pull the plug on him.” Seemingly firm words, right? Except even the notion that his alter-ego is still alive is a clear departure from previous statements where the actor was perfectly fine confirming Harvey’s death at the business end of a freefalling drop.
This is a major contradiction to his earlier statements after the films initial release. Over at FirstShowing, they have a quote from Eckhart regarding the character’s future, and he said,”he is dead as a door nail.”
Check out the video below…
Hmmm, I wonder what changed? If he does make an appearance in the third film, would it just be a cameo, similar to that of Cillian Murphy (The Scare Crow) in TDK?
What do you think? Should we just let sleeping dogs lie?

Maybe he's just being hopeful. I didn't understand when they said he was dead. Here is a character that is obviously being set up to disclose his origin of being Two-Face and they're NOT going to use that in the future? I understand he wasn't that dynamic in The Dark Knight but why introduce a character like that only to see the villain Two-Face for a few brief moments. I'm not campaigning for a Two-Face return.. just rambling my thoughts on the subject.
