Aaron Eckhart is HARVEY DENT
Posted by Matt Holmes
Big, big, big news. It’s the one we have all been waiting for…..
39 year old actor Aaron Eckhart will play Harvey Dent in The Dark Knight. Variety have confirmed it!
My initial reaction is that’s he wouldn’t be my first choice, or probably my second, third, fourth or fifth……but it’s still a damn good pick. I’m happy with it.
If you haven’t seen this man’s work then I would suggest you hunt out last year’s Thank You For Smoking, he was superb in that. Damn, I really wish I could have seen the whole of The Black Dahlia in October to see what this guy can do…. I’m determined to go out and buy it this week.
After all, the dude is playing MY FAVORITE COMIC BOOK VILLAIN of all time. Sure 
everyone likes The Joker, but I can relate a hell of a lot more to Harvey Dent and Two-Face.
He’s by far the most complex and interesting villain of the whole bunch, and I can’t wait to see his slow and emotional turn on screen.
I’m a little sad I won’t get to see Liev Schreiber in the role as for me he was the walking, talking, real-life Harvey Dent but in truth, I’m just glad the part has been cast and all the bullshit rumour is over.
Big props to Latino Review, who ran this story earlier in the week but I dismissed it as being “just another rumour”. They are currently 100% sure that Maggie Gyllenhaal has been cast as the new Rachel Dawes, so maybe we can expect that announcement soon as well.
Stay with us, things might actually start happening in Batman land over the next few days!
