As this thread is closed thought i'd start a new thread for The Dark Knight.

It's about to start filming now so there should be a lot more speculation and information coming out.

We already know Bale returns as The Dark Knight, that Heath Ledger is to play The Joker, and that Katie Holmes thinks she's too good for the movie.

We now also know who is going to be playing the role of Harvey Dent:

From IGN

Eckhart is Two-Face!
Smoking actor Dents Dark Knight.
by Stax
US, February 15, 2007 - Aaron Eckhart has been confirmed as being in "final negotiations" to play Harvey Dent in the upcoming The Dark Knight. District Attorney Harvey Dent begins as an ally of Batman and Gotham cop Jim Gordon, only to end up becoming the horrifically scarred, coin-flipping villain Two-Face.

Dent has previously been portrayed onscreen by Billy Dee Williams and Tommy Lee Jones, who starred opposite Eckhart in The Missing.

The Hollywood Reporter confirmed Eckhart's casting today. There's still no word on whether Maggie Gyllenhaal has indeed replaced Katie Holmes as Rachel Dawes.

In addition to Eckhart, The Dark Knight also stars Christian Bale, Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine and Gary Oldman. Heath Ledger will play The Joker.

Aaron Eckhart's credits include Thank You for Smoking, The Black Dahlia, The Core and Paycheck. He will next be seen opposite Catherine Zeta-Jones in No Reservations.
