Aaron Eckhart as Harvey Dent / Two-Face: The Gotham district attorney who is hailed as Gotham’s “White Knight”;
Dent’s battle with the Joker turns Dent into a murderous, disfigured vigilante called “Two-Face”.
Producer Charles Roven described Dent as initially the “white knight of the city”.
Wayne sees Dent as his heir, which comes back to the theme of him realizing that being Batman will be a lifelong mission, and the tragedy that follows when Dent is corrupted.
Whereas Two-Face is an evil villain in the comics, Nolan chose to portray him as a twisted vigilante to emphasize his role as Batman’s counterpart, and Eckhart, who has played corrupt men in films such as The Black Dahlia, Thank You For Smoking and In the Company of Men, notes: “[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,”
while admitting: “I’m interested in good guys gone wrong.”
