Is Two-Face In The Dark Knight?

Batman Begins writer David Goyer told SCI FI Wire that Harvey Dent will appear in the sequel The Dark Knight—but not necessarily his villainous alter ego, Two-Face, as has been reported. "I think Harvey Dent has been mentioned," Goyer said in an interview while promoting his upcoming film The Invisible. "I don't know that Two-Face has been mentioned."

Though plot details are top-secret, The Dark Knight will reportedly feature the Joker (Heath Ledger) and Dent (Aaron Eckhart) as the nemeses of Batman (Christian Bale). "All I can say is some people raised their eyebrows when they heard there were going to be two villains in the first film [Batman Begins], but I think that one worked out just fine," he said.

Goyer added that he and Nolan "spent a long time, a number of weeks, talking before we decided that we could come up with a story that was as exciting, if not more so, than the first one, because we really did not want to let down the fans. We had to figure out a way to top ourselves, and I think we have."

Goyer will receive a "story by" credit on The Dark Knight, which he said was a direct result of his commitment to The Invisible. "I wrote what you'd call a 'scriptment' with Chris over an accelerated monthlong period, and then we handed it off to his brother, who did the first pass," Goyer said, referring to Jonathan Nolan, who also penned the Christopher Nolan-directed film The Prestige. "Jonathan is a very gifted screenwriter in his own right." The Dark Knight opens on July 18, 2008. —Ian Spelling
