"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 ...

Eckhart Reveals Dark Knight Spoilers in LA Times Interview

... it's somewhat of a mirror of our times. It deals with some fundamental questions of what's going on in society. To me, this film is about how Batman feels about justice, how he takes care of the city, how he feels about the Joker when he meets him and sees what he is capable of doing. How he feels when Harvey Two-Face takes matters into his own hands. It's not simple, and it gets ugly. I think people will be surprised." Read Full Article Here: LA Times ...
