Aaron Eckhart is in final talks to star as Harvey Dent/Two Face in The Dark Knight for Warner Bros. Pictures.

The sequel to Batman Begins sees Dent as the district attorney of Gotham City and an ally of Batman. The Hollywood Reporter adds after half his face is disfigured by acid, Dent becomes the insane crime boss known as Two Face. He chooses to do good or evil by flipping a coin; Tommy Lee Jones played the character in 1995's Batman Forever.

Christopher Nolan is returning behind the camera as director; Christian Bale is reprising his role as Bruce Wayne/Batman. Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine and Gary Oldman are also returning; Heath Ledger joined the cast last summer, signing up to play the sardonic and murderous villain the Joker.

The Dark Knight was written by Nolan's brother, Jonathan, from a story by Christopher Nolan and David Goyer.

The Dark Knight was released July 18th, 2008 and stars Christian Bale, Heath Ledger, Aaron Eckhart, Michael Caine, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman, Monique Gabriela Curnen. The film is directed by Christopher Nolan.
