This has already made the rounds on the internet, but for those awesome people out there who choose to get their film news from this humble site, above you can see the first picture of Aaron Eckhart as Two-Face in the upcoming THE DARK KNIGHT. The image is actually from the trailer, and if you look closely, you can just barely make up some of the scarring on the non-showing side of his face.

If that was enough Two-Face revelations for you, the Los Angeles Times also interviewed Aaron Eckhart (whom I’ve been a fan of ever since IN THE COMPANY OF MEN), who spoke about his character. You can check it out here (there are some moderate spoilers about what happens to his character, so beware), but basically he talks about the fact that fans are going to be in for a violent surprise, as the make-up effects he’ll be wearing will apparently make us sick to your stomach, it’ll be so gruesome. He also talks about the difference between Batman and Two-Face, suggesting that “”The difference between Batman and Two-Face is how far they are willing to go and how they make their point,” Eckhart said. “Otherwise, we’re talking about vigilante crime-fighting. That’s what Batman is all about. He has a strong sense of justice. And Harvey Dent has an extremely strong sense of justice. … He’s horribly injured. But he is still true to himself. He’s a crime fighter, he’s not killing good people. He’s not a bad guy, not purely…” Later he notes that “I’m interested in good guys gone wrong. They’re not the bad guy, they’re the good guy doing bad things.”

Sounds like Harvey Dent/Two-Face is in good hands.
