Although he plays a guy with two faces, actor Aaron Eckhart (Two-Face in July's "The Dark Knight") shot it straight on the character recently with the Los Angeles Times.
"I can tell you that, basically, when you look at Two-Face, you should get sick to your stomach," Eckhart said. "Being the guy under all that, well, that was a lot of fun for me. It's like you would feel if you met someone whose face had pretty much been ripped off or burned off with acid. I can't talk about it beyond that because I don't want to give away too much of the plans by Chris."
"The difference between Batman and Two-Face is how far they are willing to go and how they make their point," Eckhart said. "Otherwise, we're talking about vigilante crime-fighting. That's what Batman is all about. He has a strong sense of justice. And Harvey Dent has an extremely strong sense of justice. His fiancée is killed. He's horribly injured. But he is still true to himself. He's a crime fighter, he's not killing good people. He's not a bad guy, not purely."
