Since one for the Joker was just made recently, why not have another for the other villain who was in The Dark Knight as well? That said, I really loved Aaron Eckhart's performance as Two-Face. Perhaps, even more than Ledger's as the Joker.
Yes, I said it. The way he portrayed Harvey Dent (or Gotham's "White Knight" as they call it) doesn't get nearly as much praise as it should, IMO.
Unlike with the Joker though, I haven't seen many comic scans or feats with Two-Face. If anyone has any... post them here I guess?
Yeah, I checked his so-called respect thread in the Comics Respect Forum, if you can even call it that.
I agree the more times I watch the movie the more I think Eckhart's performance was the best and maybe even the best part and Two-Face is one of my favorite Batman villains
Yeah. Kinda makes you wish Eckhart had gotten a little more screen time huh? (as Two-Face I mean, not as Dent) Not that I'm disappointed with how much he got or anything, as it was still good enough. I mean, the car scene with Maroni has still got to be my favorite part in the film by far.
Surprisingly, Dent's fall from grace and getting brainwashed by the Joker (in the hospital) makes Anakin's ascension to the dark side in episode II & III look pathetic in comparison. Well, when you think about it at least.
Awesome! Sounds good.

Read the "Revenge of the Sith" novelization for a MUCH better rendering of Anakins fall. That novel is near brilliant.
I really liked Eckharts performance, and I appreciated the subtle undercurrents that his character failed to help anyone. In fact, the movie even hints that Dent is partially insane already, and can't be trusted with authority. The movie is so operatic.
True, but he willingly accepted coercive measures to get them locked up. Jim Gordan also said in the hospital that he was known to be a "Two Face", hence the name Harvey Two Face. You could look at the movie and argue that having an authority around at all is what caused Gotham to suffer.
He was known as Two Face because he was investigating crooked cops.
Anyway Two Face being my second favorite villain I felt like he was misused in this film. I think the film worked as a movie but as a Batman film I felt like Two Face got gyped and Batman lost one of the villains he was most emotionally attached to too soon for the impact to be greater. I always liked the Batman/Two Face connection because Batman felt conflicted and like he failed Two Face in many ways because he remembered what he was.

Since I was old enough to understand the stories, Two-Face has always been my favorite Batman villain... To me, Two-Face's story was the most tragic... He became what he sought to end...
Plus the visual of Two-Face with the black/white suit and stylized scarring has always looked very striking... (please log in to view the image)
Maybe..
Still, claiming himself to be the Batman and turning himself in was pretty courageous within itself (since the real Batman didn't do so like he said he would as an act of hypocrisy or somethin'). Even if that argument you said is true, it shows he's not really afraid to lose his authority either.
I hate how some old threads don't show up in the search unless they're bumped (at least it's worked that way for me for some reason ).
Ah well.. Superman still has 2 respect threads. *shrug*
Heh. Well said, I guess.
True that my friend. Always loved that version as well..
