The White Knight becomes The Dark Knight

Rating: 10/10 (10 October 2014)

Not only is The Dark Knight one of the best Superhero films of all time it's a great crime drama as well. It goes without saying that the late Heath Ledger gave an incredible performance as the Joker. In my opinion however I think Aaron Eckhart's portrayal of Harvey Dent and the Two Face was very well done. Everyone talks about Ledger's Joker portrayal, and rightfully so but I think Eckhart's performance was underrated and overlooked as a result. Some of the best scenes involve Aaron as Dent/Two Face. I liked the little hints early on in the film that indicated his eventual transformation such as him kidnapping an Arkham patient and threatening him which shows what he's like under pressure. Also the fact that he knew Gordon's unit was corrupt didn't help. Joker eventually was the catalyst in Dent's transformation into Two Face in a great Hospital scene.
