... As far as I know (from various interviews both Nolans have given and Eckhart as well), he is indeed six feet under.

I think it was more like a keep the fans on their toes type of thing. The funny thing is, theres no way the next Batman movie will be nearly as hyped mostly because there is no bigger villain in the Batman series, than the Joker

Well, to be fair, a fair amount of the initial hype (i.e. pre-release) over "The Dark Knight" was not quite as much for the Joker as it was for the death of Heath Ledger and that this was his last completed performance.

It would be so stupid to keep two face dead imo, he is one of the biggest bad guys in Batman, and his one moments in the new films is a forced 15 minutes that made the film feel dragged out?

I really hope he comes back, because Eckhart is the man.

Well, according to the key forces behind the film, there's a reason he's not moving at the end and is not coming back (at least not in a Christopher Nolan-helmed entry).

[statikcat]

Yep, I certainly think he is still alive. He will probably be at least mentioned in the next movie. I don't think that fall would have killed him. He will probably be locked away for good. Remember Gotham can't afford the city to see Harvey as Two Face because he was a hero. If he resurfaced that could make for an interesting storyline just from that idea. I'm not so sure he will have a big part in the next movie but I think they will mention him (alive in jail).

[dvd_mazter]

Yeah, I figured Two-Face would be alive. There were little hints to he was alive (i.e the coin landing good side up and the fact that Batman felt didn't die from the same distance) I hope Eckhart returns, he did a great job with the character and I wanted to see more of Two-Face.

I concur.

They killed Ra's al Ghul, who in the comics is known as immortal. A character's lasting or strong presence in the comics means little when the film adaptation is concerned.

Didn't Batman land on top of Dent?

Now, other characters like the Penguin though are iffier beasts...

You do not understand the Penguin character if you believe him to be unrealistic. He's a portly mobster with an affinity for birds who uses gadgets concealed in umbrellas. If Batman reconfiguring a fingerprint on a shattered bullet is realistic, then so is a mobster who hides a machine gun in an umbrella.

Cast some skinny, maniacal, Marilyn Manson look-alike for Riddler (a la the new cartoon version) and it'd be great.

I will go on a murderous rampage if this happens. The Riddler needs to be a composed Gentleman-type fellow. Screw your manic cartoony personas or your dark, long haired goth types. Get me a green suit and bowler.

Domino mask optional.

Did anyone else notice that the Wayne emplyee who tried to blackmail Bruce was named Mr. Reese? Like as in Mysteries? Which is not too far off from E. Nigma.

Just a thought.

The viral ad campaign they ran established a person named Edward Nashton in the continuity. If Mr. Reese is intended to be a "mysteries" clue, I'd say it's a hint like Bruce calling his guests "two faced" in Begins. I don't think this Mr. Reese person could be the Riddler, particularly because he already knows the answer to the greatest riddle of all.

Early reports were that Eckhart was signed for two films.

The original arc about him being disfigured and becoming Twoface was originally going to span across two films. That could be a reason why he would be signed on for two films.

But he is still on contract for another one, so I could definitely see him returning in flash backs or a dream sequence.

better be after the whole service for his death and the hunt him thing... it would ruin it to have him pop up "oh I was just fake dying"

Not necessarily. If you remember, the movie ended with Gordon and Batman conspiring to cover up Two Face's existence. They didn't want Harvey Dent's fall from grace to become public knowledge. Batman took credit for his crimes and Gordon buried Harvey Dent. That alone leaves the door open for him to return should the story warrant it. It wouldn't be a stretch at all to say that Two Face is secretly locked away in Arkham and Dent's funeral was staged to keep his transformation a secret from the public.

Now, I'm not saying they should do that. There's plenty of other characters to explore in the Batman canon. All I'm saying is that the possibility is there if they did decide to go that direction. They could have someone like Vicki Vale uncover the conspiracy. Or maybe have the Riddler discover it and use it to his advantage.

Ding-ding. We have a winner. Nolan and Co. really aren't misleading you guys. Put it together:

- Two Face is dead
- At the BD Live screening, Nolan, when asked who the five "Two-Face victims" were responded with something along the lines of "that's another story for another time". At the end of TDK, we don't actually know who the 5 victims are. We only see two, maybe three (if you assume Maroni dies in the crash) victims on screen.
- Early reports were that Eckhart was signed for two films. He's been coy about whether he's returning or not
- Nolan loves non-linear story telling

My bet/hunch...Eckhart will be back as Two-Face in flashbacks...as Batman and Gotham unravel the truth of the events of The Dark Knight and Batman is "cleared" in the process.

It all makes sense. It all adds up. And nobody has deliberately mislead the fans about anything.
