Aaron Eckhart Talks Batman 3, Spoiler Alerts Ensue

Since Batman: The Dark Knight is now the second highest grossing film in history (only behind Titanic) I'm assuming most of you have seen the movie. IF YOU HAVEN'T THEN SPOILER ALERT!!READING THE REST OF THIS ARTICLE WILL RUIN THE MOVIE EVENT OF THE DECADE!

STOP READING AND GET YOUR ASS TO A MOVIE THEATER AND SEE THIS MOVIE NOWWWW!

Ok, are they gone? Phew. Anyway, since The Dark Knight's release, the internet has been teeming with rumors and astronomical hype about the villains for the sequel. Some of these rumors have legitimate weight to them (i.e.Johnny Depp as the Riddler) others are just fan fantasy casts gone wild (Phillip Seymour Hoffman as The Penguin? Paul Giamatti as the Mad Hatter? Or my favorite: Ellen Page as Harley Quinn... yummm).

Only to add fuel to the fire, Dark Knight villain Aaron Eckhart tells Comingsoon.net that he will not be reprising his role as Harvey "Two Face" Dent for the third Batman film.

Although The Dark Knight's plot made it opaquely evident Harvey died in the final scene (or at least that's what I got out of it) fans who beloved Eckhart's character swarmed the blogosphere with hopes of his survival . Eckhart sadly reports Harvey "Two Face" Dent is, according to a conversation with Dark Knight director Chris Nolan: "dead as a door nail."

Eckhart does not stop there. Before concluding the interview he delivers a delicious piece of hollywood dish: "I heard Angelina Jolie was going to be Catwoman or something like that. I thought that was a great idea. I'd like to be in that one."

Angelina Jolie? Catwoman? I say GROSS! What do you guys think? Give us your fantasy cast ideas for Batman 3!

Special thanks to "Supertim" Dillon for the tip.

Angelina Jolie as catwoman. Won't see that one. Best catwoman to me was Michelle Pfeiffer. Posted 09/05/2008 08:27 AMReply

dude, Michelle played Catwoman in a typically comic book style. Angelina's Catwoman, in fitting with Chris Nolan seeming theme, will be darker & more realistic. Posted 09/05/2008 09:01 AMReply

From the idea of a crazy terrorist causing chaos in Gotham - to a cat burglar with a whip seems a bit of a step back to me. But whatever, I'm open. The only confirmation I want to hear is "Nolan back for a third!" Posted 09/05/2008 10:18 AMReply

either way, you still have the memory of Halle Berry's Catwoman (GOD awful) still lingering in everyone's heads. Besides I read somewhere saying Chris Nolan doesn't want to do Penguin or Catwoman because Tim Burton did them so well Posted 09/05/2008 10:56 AMReply

the next catwoman(who i think WILL be the villin in the next one 'cause of the "will it stop dogs? it'll stop cats." comment in TDK) should be played by Claudia Black. She's the only actress i know that could pull it off without making catwoman seem like a s&m movie reject. and Nolan should read Miller's version of the cat if he wants to do it right.
