"Batman Begins" writer David Goyer told SCI FI Wire that Harvey Dent will appear in the sequel "The Dark Knight," but not necessarily his villainous alter ego, Two-Face, as has been reported. "I think Harvey Dent has been mentioned," Goyer said in an interview. "I don't know that Two-Face has been mentioned."Though plot details are top-secret, "The Dark Knight" will reportedly feature the Joker (Heath Ledger) and Dent (Aaron Eckhart) as the nemeses of Batman (Christian Bale).
"All I can say is some people raised their eyebrows when they heard there were going to be two villains in the first film [Batman Begins], but I think that one worked out just fine," he said.
Goyer added that he and Nolan "spent a long time, a number of weeks, talking before we decided that we could come up with a story that was as exciting, if not more so, than the first one, because we really did not want to let down the fans. We had to figure out a way to top ourselves, and I think we have."

Aaron Eckhart as Harvey Dent is freakin' awesome, and giving the character some time to be Harvey before he turns into Two-Face is a great idea.
There's that wonderfully tragic moment in Frank Miller's Batman: Year One when Batman, Gordon and Dent meet on a rooftop and the three of them informally declare themselves the trio of justice in that rotten town. Knowing that the enthusiastic, energenic Dent was doomed to turn in the worst way was very effective, and if they can pull it off in the flick I'm all for keeping Dent Dent for a while.
