This isn't exactly news. We have heard from Eckhart before on whether he might return or not. But since Nolan revealed the title for his third Batman movie, and said that we would be seeing some old faces, fresh rumors have been swirling that one of those old faces might be scarred down one side. Yes, Nolan has said he was dead, Eckhart has said he was dead, we saw his funeral, he was dead. But, that being said, I, and many others, don't believe things were left without the possibility of his return if Nolan so wished.
Speaking to ShowbizSpy, Eckhart was asked if he knew anything about Harvey Dent's possible resurrection..
“I’m not privy to these things, I just feel like with the death of Heath Ledger, I feel like maybe starting over might be a better thing.
“I just don’t have any idea. I really don’t know and if Chris gives me a call, I’ll come but I don’t anticipate a call.”
So, that seems to put the kabosh on the latest Two Face return rumor. If Nolan was planning anything he would surely have informed Eckhart by now. As much as I love TDK, I think the decision to kill off Two Face so quickly was a big mistake. Made even bigger by the fact that Ledger can't reprise his part as The Joker as was planned. Anyway, lets see what Nolan has up his sleeve. With all the rumors flying at the moment I hope/expect we get some solid info soon.
