Dark Horizons has received this photo, surreptitiously snapped at Toy Fair in New York, that shows us what Two Face’s look will be in The Dark Knight. It turns out that half of his face is mutilated! Actually, less than half; it looks like the character’s traditional symmetry has been abandoned for yet more of the Chris Nolan ‘realism.’ After all, what are the odds that acid would burn exactly half your face (although I imagine some comic writer has already thought of this and cleverly retconned it so that, after the acid scarring drove him mad, Harvey Dent fucked up the remaining good skin on his burned side so as to be symmetrical).
This is one of those stories that makes me feel so distant from you, Internet Fandom, since I know many people will be excited about this and I can’t muster up much enthusiasm at all. The only thing I feel is vaguely disappointed that Nolan didn’t fix the mistake of Batman Forever by having the burned half of Harvey Dent’s face played by Billy Dee Williams.

If only Batman Begins had been as good as Jumper
What enthusiasm? It's a fucking blurry photo of goddan action figure. Who in there right mind is going to get all exct over that?
Really nice touch that you criticised the design based on that criteria AND spouted off some Bill Dee Williams nonsense. Beside the fact that no one whose not a huge fucking gee cares, he's too old, and not that great of an actor anyways.
Brilliant, Crackarm! My thoughts exactly.
Billy Dee Williams…
Devin, you definitely have your moments, dude.
Not that Aaron Eckhardt isn't perfect for the role but I just had an image of Christian Troy tracing a line onto his face (opening credits of Nip/Tuck) to make sure both sides match. Dude was wasted in Fantastic Four.
Oh, brother. Again with Nolan's cretinous "realism", which seems to have the 17-year olds ejaculating constantly. I hope he goes further with this and opens his second Bat-sequel realistically, by having Batman shot in the chest by a crook, surviving thanks to his armor, but spending the rest of the film in hospital, healing the three broken ribs and the internal concussions.
Thank heavens I have Keaton, Burton and Anton Furt's Gotham that really does look like a bleak gothic metropolis rather than "Los Angeles, 2019"
I hear Nolan wanted but couldn't get Billy Dee because he was too busy staking out Skywalker Ranch trying to convince Lucas that Lando is part Yoda and was 300 years old in Jedi, and thus should be in both the animated, and live action Star Wars TV shows.
Remember when the scarred part of Two-Face's face was green? Did it change to purple because of the Schumacher movie or did it happen in the comics before then?
You know what was Two-faced? Nick closing down that Owen thread.Lame. Billy Dee 4eva, bitches.
I like this. You don't need to see it right to know how it'll look. So, it's quite a find
So does Dent become Two-Face at the end, or is he actually going to be one of the main adversaries? Is there any truth to this rumor that the Joker is not actually the main villian? If the Joker does survive, I hope they leave it at that and don't recast. Look forward to Eckhart's work in this either way. I've been loving the marketing, that fake newspaper was absurdly detailed.
Soooooooooooo tired of Bale/Nolan/ Batman bashing. I don't get it, Chud.
I wonder which boros of Gotham will be utilized in this movie. Maybe, Hayden Christiansen will have a cameo.
If only Doug Liman were directing and it stared Hayden Christiansen and had a supporting performance from Billy Elliot!
LOL!
