Aaron Eckhart On Resurrecting Two-Face For Batman 3

Eckhart for PYM!

@ CDB, agreed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@ captainamerica

i'm okay with Chris Evans, but Eckhart was my choice from the very beginning. he's got the look, the acting talent, and the presence to be a very believable Cap.

Sorry guys, but Eckhart is way too old to play Captain America! He's a great actor but there's no way he could pull off a man in his twenties as Chris Evans easily can! He'd probably be ideal for the Cap who's in the current comic books each month but for the younger, movie version...no. :P

As for Batman 3, he did a great job with the character so it's a pity Nolan killed him off rather than bringing him back next time to develop further. At this point though, I think new villains would be better especially as they're planning on leaving The Joker behind for the time being!

@pig, I'd also like to see him play Hank Pym. Everyone talks about Fillion, but Eckhart looks exactly like him and he's a great actor.

The two biggest mistakes Nolan has made was killing Two-Face and not finding a younger actor for Alfred. Now, I love Michael Caine, but I want to see an Alfred closer in age to his comics counter part, between 50-60.

no great villains left, really?

even in nolan's more gritty realistic world, there is a plethora of great villains, off the top of my head:

catwoman: michelle pfeiffer created an iconic image with the character, but when you do the research on the character, there is a lot of depth to the cat, and in a Rachel-less third movie, it'd be great to see a new female lead who could interact with bale, especially on the duality of both persona's which was actually done well imo in tim burtons film.

penguin: obviously doesn't have to be as deformed and gothic as burton's vision, but would make for a great secondary villian, such as the mobsters have been thus far in the nolan trilogy.

edward nigma, riddler: we've seen bale's batman in full 'captain america was a ninja mode'. a human being at a physical and mental peak, in regards to action. but we've yet to really see the other side of the bat, the ultimate detective, a character like the riddler would be great to illustrate the bat's smartz,a cerebral villain the riddler would be,and as there would be no joker to push the bat further mentally. this character imo would be a betting man's pick.

bane: i know nothing from this character, except from B:AA, but we've seen genetic based problems for the bat in BB's with the gas. so wouldn't be that un-plausible to see some result of a genetic experiment created a bane-type enemey, lets see the bat take on a true beast, rather than dogs and drugged up cronies.


and for the fanboy in me. any kind of lex/metropolis reference to ignite the fire of a nolan justice league film.

was he dead? was he not dead? doesn't matter. no is right and no one is wrong because two-face is not a real person. however the fact is that if you watch the movie there are many suggestions made by characters that leave the door wide open for him to make a return. could he have died in the end? absolutely. could he have been alive and hidden so that the joker's final taunt would not be seen by Gotham? absolutely.

tho i agree with Ror@ - can't use joker? bring on two face. would help the third tie into the previous films and keep that mob connection.

@pig, BIGBMH,

Agreed, he has always been my first choice for Pym.


Too bad they can't bring the Joker back, because, like he said himself, the Joker and Batman ARE destined to do that together. But now they can't without letting down the whole audience. Now Harvey "Two-Face" is my absolute favorite villain of all time from anything. And Aaron is and always will be the best Harvey. But he did die, and it would be ridiculous to bring him back, so I want them to leave him dead. So sad though, Eckhart/Nolans Two-Face was absolutely amazing! RIP Harvey! I am super happy about the fact that Two-Face will be appearing in Arkham Asylum 2!!! :D Eckhart was an Amazing Two-Face, sad I wont see that again!

Poison Ivy, you my dear are one character I wish Nolan would bring in..alas, real world silliness!

Adwelsh, I said REALLY great villains. Imo Penguin and Riddler suck donkey balls, Catwoman is great but it just doesn't look like its gonna happen, same with Bane. Two-Face has already been established, bring him back!

fail

Let Dent dead as he is now. Bring on new characters and make this film an epic conclusion to this trillogy.

@pig I think if anybody would come close to being a Joker protege it would be Anarky, have him as some one who learned from the joker but used his chaos theme as a way to save the world not watch it burn heres the wiki on Anarky, why haven't anyone suggested this yet? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarky

@RorMachine - "But I can't help hoping that with a lack of any really great villains left to use"

Huh?

My avatar speaks volumes..

why cant they make the riddler into a better villian? just bc hes been portrayed crappy before doesnt mean he cant be an epic guy now?

adwelsh78 said it best: noone has yet to test batman's detective skills.... they've all been physical or psychotic.... i was thinking that the other day... no reason why riddler has to be corny with stupid jim carey riddles and cant be a criminal mastermind with genuine challenging riddles can he?

would be perfect distraction for batman while something more sinister takes place. robert englund can play him lol

harley would be nice addition too

People honestly think Catwoman and Penguin are good villians? Exlain that to me. No really, do. Catwoman is just sex, she can't possibly beat up Batman, it makes no sense, and Batman would lose all credibility as Batman if he got beaten up by a sexy chick. (No offense to sexy chicks lol). It's unrealistic as hell in just that aspect. Having Selina Kyle in the film, no problem, I'd welcome it. Catwoman though? Pass. Penguin? Don't even get me started on that waste of space lol.

Eleven, your bond comparison/contrast thing is from left field. Why, you might ask? Well first off, Heath's performance as Joker was better than any other villianous role in history other than Jack Nicholson himself as the character. It's hard to top Heath's performance, it really is. Not saying Heath is the best actor in the world or I love him or any of that, I'm just saying, in regards to Joker, Heath out acted almost everyone besides Eckhart. No joke. 2ndly, Sean Connery didn't die shortly after filming 9 or however Bond movies (or just 1 in Heath's case for just TDK). Sean Connery isn't that great of an actor, he's okay, but he didn't blow people away like Heath did. Sean Connery a good Bond? Yes, but that's not what we are talking about, we are talking about your comparison (which was misjudged on your behalf no offense). I don't even know where you even thought that comparison would make sense to begin with. (No offense again this is just convo talk).

LACK OF ANY GREAT VILLAINS LEFT TO USE?

Bring Riddler in the third. Scarcrow again to show up. Two-Face will be cool again. That's It 3 villians.
Batman Begins had scarcrow valcony and Ra's

The Dark Knight had a returning Scarcrow Twoface and Joker.

Batman 3 Scarcrow Twoface and the Riddler.
if they dont want to show Twoface bring back Ra's with the pit that keeps him alive. Now that will be awsome
