Aaron Eckhart confirmed once and for all to MTV that Harvey Dent/Two-Face will not be appearing in The Dark Knight Rises, which he says "is going to blow everybody away." 

"Chris and I had a meeting, on the beach, just the two of us," Eckhart said. " I said, ‘Chris, a lot of people are asking me if I’m in the next ‘Batman.’  And Chris said, ‘Yes?’  I said, ‘Am I?’  He looked at me and he said, ‘No.’"  He added that he wasn’t joking about the beach part and said that they "found ourselves alone on the beach together on a stormy day and he delivered the news to me.  I was heartbroken.  But Chris has his reasons and my life must go on… Honestly, it was Heath’s movie to go on.  We had a great movie.  I’m so honored to be a part of that movie."
