A community portal about Batman with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: Batman is a DC Comics fictional superhero who first appeared in Detective Comics #27 in May 1939. He has since become, along with Superman and Spider-Man, one of the world's most recognized superheroes. Batman was co-created by artist Bob Kane and writer Bill Finger, although only Kane receives official credit for the character. Batman's secret identity is Bruce Wayne, a billionaire industrialist, playboy, and philanthropist. Witnessing the murder of his parents as a child leads him to train himself to the peak of physical and intellectual perfection, don a bat -themed costume, and fight crime. Unlike most superheroes, he does not possess superhuman powers or abilities; he makes use of intellect, detective skills, science and technology, wealth, physical prowess, and intimidation in his war on crime.

Aaron Eckhart Says Two-Face is Dead

darkknighposter17a.jpgI think $500 million is the limit for being accused of disclosing movie spoilers, so I think we're safe when we say Two-Face is dead.

Actually, we didn't say it. Aaron Eckhart did, confirming that he was a one-and-done for Christopher Nolan's Batman series, which, in my estimation, is kind of a waste. His villain turn lasted three scenes in The Dark Knight, four if you count when he's just really, really angry in the hospital.

But in an interview with Coming Soon, he answered the very direct question, "Is Harvey Dent alive?"

"No. He is dead as a door nail," replied Eckhart. "I'm not coming back. I think unfortunately, Heath [Ledger] was supposed to go on and that didn't work out. I'm nobody. I'm a cog. I have no say over this sort of stuff."

Eckhart adds that despite a few roles in major films and even a Golden Globe nomination for Thank You For Smoking, the role that's getting him the most recognition has zero chance of sequelization.

"I like that for the first time in my career I'm getting fan mail from kids and 8-year-olds. 'My name is Bill. I really liked the film.' I've never had that before. I think that's fun. I think someone told me they're going to be Harvey Two-Face for Halloween which is cool. I said to two kids the other day, 'Did you see Batman yet?' Then I come to find out like two seconds later they've seen it four times. People are really going back to see it. My parents saw it I think 12 [times] so far. They're sick that it's going out of the theaters."

And I'm sick that Nolan didn't do as much with Two-Face as he could. It's a shame; he's a great character, but he did get a raw deal in the third act of The Dark Knight.
