More Batman 3: Eckhart Says Two-Face Is Dead Dead Dead

Judging by the ridiculous flurry of Batman 3 speculation lately, you’d be forgiven for thinking that every single human on Earth would a role in it.

But hold your horses, buster. Aaron Eckhart isn’t going to be in Batman 3. That might sound like common sense, seeing as how his character Two-Face stacked it to death off a building at the end of The Dark Knight, but apparently a handful of internet ninnies have decided that Two-Face didn’t die at all, and that both he and his silly voice will return for Batman 3.

And that’s why Aaron Eckhart has come forward to declare once and for all that Two-Face is definitely 100% dead. But don’t worry, disappointed Aaron Eckhart fans - he might not be returning for Batman 3, but copies of his 2007 Catherine Zeta Jones cookery-based romantic comedy No Reservations are still available to buy or rent on DVD. Yes, we thought that’d please you.

This whole Batman 3 malarkey is getting a bit out of hand, isn’t it. Because The Dark Knight has taken over half a billion dollars since it was released, everyone’s got so desperate for news about the sequel that they’ll believe any old crap that’s hurled at them.

But in reality, not much is known about Batman 3 at all. The only concrete Batman 3 facts are as follows:

1) Catwoman and The Penguin definitely won’t be appearing in Batman 3.

2) Despite this, Catwoman will definitely be played by Angelina Jolie.

3) In addition, Cher will also definitely be Batman 3’s Catwoman.

4) Johnny Depp. Definitely.

And they’re literally all the stone-cold facts we can tell you about Batman 3. All of them are unequivocally true. As is the news that Two-Face died in The Dark Knight and definitely won’t be returning for a sequel. No, really.

Seriously, Aaron Eckhart can’t make that clear enough. You know that bit at the end of The Dark Knight where Two-Face and Batman fall out of a window and everyone’s all like “Oh, Two-Face is dead” and Batman has to run off because there’s a dog chasing him or something? Yeah, despite what the corner of the internet that smells most like Clearasil and stale jism says, he is actually dead. Even Aaron Eckhart says so. Eckhart told Comingsoon:

“He is dead as a door nail. He ain’t coming back baby! I asked Chris [Nolan] that question and he goes, “You’re dead” before I could even get the question out of my mouth. “Hey Chris, am I?” “You’re dead!” Alright, cool.”

So that’s that - Two-Face is definitely dead, definitely not coming back and that definitely means that in Batman 3 Christian Bale will have to find someone new to growl incoherently at.

To take stock, then - Aaron Eckhart won’t return for Batman 3 because his character’s dead and Heath Ledger won’t return because he’s actually dead. Cuh, some people will do anything to make sure they don’t get a crappy, pointless, totally unexplained Cillian Murphy-style cameo at the start of the next film, won’t they.
