'Dark Knight' Script Answers Highly Debated Question: Did Harvey 'Two-Face' Dent Live Or Die?Despite memorial service in the film, many fans thought villain would return for 'Batman 3.'

The script for the blockbuster sequel was made available for purchase on Tuesday and soon after found its way online. It's a long read at 167 pages, but fans looking for confirmation on the fate of Dent need only look at page 163.

"Dent lies at the bottom of the hole, his neck broken," the stage direction, written by brothers Jonathan and Christopher Nolan, reads. "DEAD." (Capital letters their emphasis, not ours.)

Although some already are arguing that because it refers to the character as "Dent" and not "Two-Face," it's possible the villain could make a return appearance, but Gotham's D.A. is always referred to as Dent throughout the script, even after his transformation.

Interesting...

I Like the fact that noal said a big, fat NO to Penguin, Catwoman, AND SPECIALLY Robin.

I Always liked batman as a loner.

I can't see anything wrong with Penguin. But yeah I have to agree with Nolan about Catwoman and robin. Keep them out of my Batman damnit!!

It's over Johnny.

According to the below interview with Eckhart, no more Two-Face.

Well from what i understood... and how it was asked... Harvey Dent is dead. ) Take that as you will.

Yeah Jeez, Robin is only they most important character in the Batman Mythos besides Batman himself. All he does is keep Batman grounded and from crossing the line into becoming someone like Ras Al Ghul. There's also the father son dynamic and the uncomfortable idea that Bruce Wayne is training a young orphan to essentially take over the most dangerous job in the world, the Mantle of the Bat. Yeah there's no story possibilities there at all.

I've always viewed Robin as a crutch to Batman. I'll be more than happy if they continue to leave the bird brain out of any future films.

Michael Caine Says Johnny Depp Is The Riddler, Philip Seymour Hoffman Is The Penguin

I was with [a Warner Bros.] executive and I said, ‘Are we going to make another one?’ They said yeah. I said, ‘How the hell are we going to top Heath? And he says ‘I’ll tell you how you top Heath — Johnny Depp as The Riddler and Philip Seymour Hoffman as The Penguin.’ I said, ‘S–t, they’ve done it again!’” [Laughs]

I don't know if Michael is pulling our legs or what so I'll take this with a grain of salt.
