Okay, one thing I didn’t realize about The Dark Knight until about a week ago, is that while we have The Joker overshadowing everything, Harvey Dent/Two-Face (Aaron Eckhart) is going to be a key character with a makeup job that Warner Brothers have been trying to keep under wraps.
Now I can see why.
Thanks to the sci-fi blog io9, through Comic Book Resources, we have the concept art for what Harvey Dent’s acid burned face is going to look like.
The photo above is a screenshot from the trailer we brought you on Monday, which just shows the EDGES of his burn. That’s just the start.
The L.A. Times interviewed Eckhart and this is what he had to say about it:
“I can tell you that, basically, when you look at Two-Face, you should get sick to your stomach. 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.”
Below are two links, one not much of a spoiler, it’s just Dent with his face lying in acid, but the other is the big, massive, HUGE spoiler.
That is why I’m putting them in links that you HAVE to click on, that way no one accidentally gets anything ruined.
So enjoy them, those that like spoilers, because who knows how long before we get contacts by Warner to take them down.

Photo 2: Two-Face
For those that look, what do you think? Gruesome?
It’s almost like this movie is going to be too good to be true. We’ve sort of gotten the idea that Heath Ledger is going to be awesome, but this entire Harvey Dent subplot could be just as good.
The funny thing is, the only person we’re not talking about lately in regards to The Dark Knight, is Batman himself, Christian Bale.
Holy crap! The 2nd pic is amazing, this def isn’t Tommy Lee Jones’ Two Face.

Geesh…. thats…just icky….
I wasn’t going to look until I read Scotty and Cap’n’s comments. I gasped!
I’m getting more and more excited about this movie!!!
Can’t wait!
It’s not so bad… bunch of lightweights!
Nothing a little makeup can’t fix. Might be hard to match his skin tone, though…
Looks as though he may also have a bit of a drooling problem.

Mike, I’m talking about Christian Bale!!
nickys last blog post..Temporary Hiatus.
Impressive. wonder how long it takes them to do the make-up on two-face.
I don’t believe that it’s the final make-up; I mean check out the blurry image of the Two-Face -toy. Looks nothing like this..
Comparing a toy to something in the movie?
Who knows man…I guess we’ll see in about a month
Ehhh… I hope they do some CGI or decent lighting on it.
I really hope this is a foiler.
He looks too much like 1st transformation of Molasar from the Keep for my liking.
That’s FANGORIA material
I remember a 1995 article where Schumacher was saying someting like “we’re not making a horror film, so we made sure Two-Face’s bad side isn’t too gruesome” or something. It’s like they read that comment and went too far on the opposite direction.
Personally I like it. TwoFace is supposed to be disfigured in a way that makes him repulsive to others, but also helps bring out his more insane side as well.
Yo, that’s not acid lol. Great movie though! The Joker was awesome and hilarious!
Prior to the movie coming out we didn’t know it wasn’t acid. It was just assumed by the way the liquid, we thought, ate away at his face. We know now that it was gasoline and fire.
When I saw the film, I had the opposite reaction to “grotesque.” I guess it’s mostly because I’ve been harboring this stupid crush on Two-Face since I was like, 5, but when they first showed his face I was like, “Still just as hot. Possibly hotter.” Heh.
I don’t believe I am the only one who thought this either.
Spent all the time since Aaron Eckhart was cast to finally seeing the film waiting to see half his face get digitally burnt off. Whee!
@Riss – That’s really weird…and slightly disturbing?
I know all I was dreaming about was Eckhart with rotting flesh dangling off his face. Awesome!
Ummmm.. I dont have a matching story…
@ Riss and Mike- very odd…
