I remember speaking to David Goyer, when he was in town to promote "Blade Trinity" a few years back, about his plans for this current "Batman" trilogy. He explained what the first ("Batman Begins") would be, said the second would see Wayne and Dent chasing ‘The Joker', and was pretty confident in saying that the third film would fix on Dent, now fully transformed into the maniacal ‘Two-Face', running amok in Gotham. Apparently Batman would probe The Joker's mind - now in a padded cell - for hints how to stop him.
Of course, all that's changed now that the late, great Heath Ledger is no longer around to play ‘The Joker'. But more so, they ended up using a lot of what they planned for the third film in the second - what with Dent's (Aaron Eckhart) rampage across Gotham and all. And Dent's story ended rather finally, too.
Still, some are speculating that he will be back for the third film.
Not so, CHUD found out today.
"He's dead.", Eckhart told the site. "I asked Chris if there was a chance of coming back. 'No way,' he said. 'He's toast.'"
In other words, we'll be seeing a new rogue's gallery of bad apples come "Batman 3".
