Aaron Eckhart will be Two Face; Gyllenhaal also joins cast

I didn't think Katie Holmes was that bad. She's easy on the eyes and didn't detract from batman begins IMO.

But Gyllenhaal is a better actress, and I've had a yen for her since Secretary. She's not traditionally beautiful by hollywood standards, but she cleans up nice and can definitely pull off sexy if given the right situation.

 

BOOOO. Katie Holmes looks>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Gyllenhaal

 

The Joker is Batman villain numero uno. Why would you put another antagonist in the same movie?

 

There's a setup, if I recall correctly. Both were reported to be in the plans for #3 as well. This movie may just have Dent and not his Two Face persona.

Maggie Gyllenhaal is Tori Spelling-level ugly. Terrible cast call, and I wasn't a fan of Katie Holmes either. Can't believe they managed to downgrade. Get Jordanna Brewster STAT!

Harvey Dent reportedly doesn't become Two-Face until the 3rd film. He's just the good guy D.A. in this movie, like Lando was in Tim Burton's first Batflick.

I like Aaron "Think About the Future!" Eckhart in the role. He can be one cold-hearted b*stard as In the Company of Men proved.

I hate Maggie Gyllenhaal as Rachel though. She's a good actress, but she's ugly as sin and I really don't like paying to see any of her movies after her offensive 9/11 remarks.

 

i'd rather have a mediocre looking lead lady with some acting skills than eye candy with no substance. especially considering how terrible Holmes was and Bosworth for Superman.

 

When is this movie supposed to be released?

 

Couldn't agree with you more!

 

Holmes = mediocore
Bosworth = sickly looking
Gyllenhaal = fugly

First round of movies had Basinger, Pfeifer, Kidman, Barrymore, MacPherson.

I'll let the acting slide if she's off the charts hot, but you need some seriously transcendent acting to make up for crummy looks if you're supposed to be the romantic lead.

Some people I'd take in a heart beat over Mags, omitting no-talent hacks (Sienna Miller) and previous comic book movie leads:
Brewster, Sophia Bush, Jennifer Aniston, Kate Beckinsale, Lucy Liu, Naomi Watts, Selma Hayek

Couldn't agree more. Maggie Gyllenhaal isn't a traditional beauty but IMO she's way sexier than Katie Holmes, Kirsten Dunst or a lot of other actresses. While those actresses capture the sweet nice girl look there Maggie Gyllenhaal can ooze sensuality.

 

I agree as well. There is much more to being sexy than being a pretty face. It isn't like she's dog ugly anyway.

 

good gawd man. you apparently date nothing less than Miss Universes.

 

Eckhart was excellent in Thank You For Smoking. Gyllenhaal was pretty damn good in Stranger Than Fiction. The Dark Knight looks to have a VERY good cast. I'm pumped.

BTW, both Maggie Gyllenhaal and Katie Holmes are cute, so in the looks department, this is a lateral move, IMO. In the talent department, it's no contest. Gyllenhaal might as well be Michael Jordan to Holmes' Michael Redd. The biggest single flaw in Batman Begins was Katie Holmes and her horrid, out-of-place acting, so I'm glad they're replacing her.

 

I agree. I can't stand Katie Holmes. She was cool until she exhibited her obvious lack of a brain.

 

She didn't blend into the role, and it was a huge distraction. Every time I see Batman Begins, I can totally buy Bale as Batman, Caine as Alfred, Oldman as Gordon, Murphy as Scarecrow, etc. But with Holmes, I always think to myself, "Hey! It's Katie Holmes playing Rachel Dawes". Totally takes you out of the movie.

 

Maggie G is the hottest ... guh ...not fair ... so hot ... words not good with typing ...

 

for some reason, i never thought Maggie was cute until i saw Stranger than Fiction, in which she wasn't even all that hot in that movie, i just thought just looked hot in that odd kind of way.

btw, great casting for both parts, plus wasn't Jamie Fox also up for the role for Harvey dent?

 

you guys are mean the only girl i have really Really loved in my life looked a LOT like Maggie G. and all you guys are saying she is Ugly

 

the problem with bosworth in superman was that they had wearing pants. she should of been in a skirt. honestly the pants were slightly distracting, ie not sexy. ordinary performance without sexiness = fizzer. ordinary perf. with sexiness = not bad.

holmes was miscast. i'm not really that fussed over gyllenhaal's acting. keri russell would've been a good choice.
