Actually he did not die. He is alive

That's right Bruce, you batter their arguments with evidence.

It's been left ambigious so he can return if they want him to. That's why they never definiively said he was dead.

While he may come back, as any silly notion can be written into a script. He appeared dead after the fall, Batman spoke of him as he had died and the eulogy by Gordon at the end all support he died.

Edit:
Also remember his "you either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain" line? He became the villain, I take it that Batman willfully took the blame so Harvey could be buried the "hero". This is just speculation though.

They talked about Harvey dying, but didn't mention the monster he had became. Gordon could have just as well had him put in Arkham and kept it underwraps. We'll have to see what Nolan has to say about it.

Obviously, but the evidence at hand supports a death.

We're turning this into a TDK discussion, so that Eckhart, he's only really had one impressive role, "Thank You For Smoking". I'm not ready to accept a "great actor" status on him because of that.

Well, all we can say is they left room for interpretation.

I'd like to see Eckhart tackle more big roles. He was fantastic as Harvey Dent...so if he returned we'd get to see just how well he could really handled being a villain for a two hour movie.

I wonder how he'd do as Captain America....

What was so "fantastic" in his adaption of Harvey Dent? It was good, but many an actor could have done that role the same. Jeremy Piven comes to mind, he would have done a better Dent, imo.

Horribly, don't see him as the super-soldier/superhero type at all.

are they not lining John Barrowman up for that role...that will be solid gold....a Glasgow born gay man as Captain America.... 😆

Ugh, that'd suck. I'd like to see how Eckhart would take on the role.

i get the feeling you'd like Eckhart in every role in every film from now on....it probably would've been Heath Ledger but you know...being dead killed that idea for you

Bale does a superb Batman and Barrowman certainly has the superhero ass-chin for it, so why not.

Though it really isn't fair, if the studios cast an American as 007, there would be a bloodcry.

Was that really necessary? Eckhart is one of my picks for Captain America, as is Thomas Jane and many others. I said I'd like to see him in every role, I never said anything about he could do well in every movie. The Heath Ledger comment was totally inappropriate, show some respect and show that you have some sort of decency.

How was it? Saying "Heath Ledger is dead" is just a fact, as he's dead.

He does have a point about you and Eckhart though, you've seen him in a total of two films, the first was a shit role/movie the second was good, yet he's "fantastic"? Just doesn't add up to being sensible, but merely Bat-mania.

Not just that. Remember when the hospital blew up, Two Face survived that. 2nd. Remember when Two Face shot Maroni's driver and the limof lipped over HE SURVIVED THAT, SO just because Two Face falls he is dead. I really do not think so. Also it is a well known fact that Chris Nolan has said that Two Face is the villain for the next film. Unless somehow he changes his mind, which he probably will not do..

none of what i said was as inappropriate as saying Aaron Eckhart is a "phenomenal actor"

so from that it can be deduced that you would think he would do well in every role

he's a B list actor at best...to call him phenomenal is putting him in the same league as deniro, pacino, nicholson, olivier, guinness etc...he's not...face facts...he's just not anywhere near as good...and he never will be

and respect is earned...i have non for Heath Ledger as an actor so i'll say what i like...whether it's offensive or not...the fact is, regarding him, is that if he was still alive, people wouldn't be creaming themselves over his performance like they are...it was good...it wasn't oscar worthy as is being touted.

but you are right...Barrowman wouldn't make a good CA...but he's a better actor than Eckhart

Okay...

1) It's implied that the hospital was empty before the Joker blew it, I'm also pretty certain you see him on the bus right as the Joker jumps in.

2) He put on his seat belt right before he said "you're lucky, let's see if he (the driver) is".

3) Were has Nolan said this?

Thomas Jane? that would be funny.

Nolan was saying Two-Face would be in the third movie a long time ago before Two-Face was actually set to be in TDK. I guess it was going to be set up where he'd be Two-Face by the very end so he'd be the main villain in the third movie, but that was changed.

And jaden, I don't care if you like Ledger as an actor or not, there's no reason to talk about the man since he's dead. It's borderline disrespectful.

Dammit, he's from Scotland!

Are you crazy?

Why can't he state his opinion of an actor who died?
