@OW-Holmes: If only you knew me and knew how funny that comment is. I haven't seen an art house in..well..ever. I watched Pan's Labyrinth with the bottom of the screen covered in cheese cloth while a neighbor who speaks Spanish whispered all the dialogue and voice-overs to me in English. Dark Knight is art house for me.

The cartoon version of Two-Face is the best version outside of the comic books by far, but Aaron Eckhart's version looks like it has potential :)

@danwaterhouse: Admit it. Deep down in a place you dont talk about at parties you want the explosions; you need the explosions.

Not everything can be art house.

Don't forget Tim Sale's gruesome rendition from THE LONG HALLOWEEN, one of the best Bat stories of the past twenty years.

Which Nolan has said was an influence on DARK KNIGHT's script, and Bale has said is one of his favorite comix ever. Oh, and don't worry about Harvey's lines being spoilers - he's INSANE!

I really hope the movie is better than it looks like it will be. It reminds me of Joel Schumacher, but on downers.

I think this trailer is ridiculous in the worst kind of Hollywood way. Explosions, explosions, explosions. The first one had interesting characters, and maybe this one will too, but you'd never know it from this mess, which looks like a class of 5th grade boys cut it together.

I bought the Lando Mighty Muggs yesterday. I heart Billy Dee.

There's one really spoileriffic cut in that trailer.

Can't wait.

Two Face in Batman Forever was one of the greatest failures of the franchise. He could have been so much more in that film, two-face is such a complex villain.

I am so glad that they have gotten another chance to redo this character. On the animated show, Two-Face was an amazing villain due to his divided loyalties. I hope they do the same here.

@Benjo:
I wouldn't call two villains a "lot".
Especially since one of them isn't a villain for most of the film.

Does anyone else see any resemblance betweeen Two Face from the 1990 Annual and Clint Eastwood?

@Benjo:
I'm pretty sure it's just a setup for the next movie RE: Dent. At least, that's what I've heard.

I bet the evil side's mustache would have been pencil thin.

Now come on, we all know an evil mustache must be a big honking handlebar, waxed into a curl, Salvidor Dali style.

Actually, Billy Dee Williams was never destined to play Two-Face.

In the original comics, Harvey Dent was introduced as a black man. When he returned as Two-Face, he had somehow morphed into a white man. Therefore, the movies follow comic continuity quite well. :P

Also, @DeepFriar: I'm still holding out hope for Adrien Brodie.

as tragic as Heath's death is, there is a part of me that really want Mark Hamill to play the joker down the road.

Will we ever get a decent comic book movie sequel that doesn't fall into the "the more villains, the better" trap?

It's really refreshing to see so little CGI in a super-hero movie trailer. Really excited.

Didn't Bill Dee already give us a two faced performance in Star Wars?
