Harvey Dent as Two-Face.

July 18th seems so far away,

You know, I kept trying to guess the meaning of the acronym, but I gave up and clicked.
... If I was a nerd (which I definitely ain't), I would be completely engulfed in a MASSIVE FIT OF RAGE!

Fan rendering? I think it's a cool take on two-face in this new darker then before Batman.

[DackAttac]

Is it just me, or would it not be anywhere near as bone-chilling if not for it being half Aaron Eckhart's totally normal face? Like the before/after from hell.

[cjmcray]

Fan rendering?

Nope. WB has been taking this picture off of several websites, so it must be legit. It also matches that shot of Dent holding the gun from the trailer pretty well.

Like Begins, The movie is PG-13 for disturbing images, but with stuff like this, an R rating would seem more appropriate. Besides, the overall 'tone' of the Nolan movies have always been adult, so kids would get bored with a lot of it anyway. I cant really imagine seeing trailers for this on Nick or CN, like other comic-book movies such as Iron Man and Spider-Man.

Man, Eckhart is going to rule as Harvey Dent. I'm probably as excited about him being in this movie as anything else.

Since when did PG-13 mean "gore-free"? I'm kind of sick of the moderate stomach-churners getting lumped in with the torture porn in the R rating, and even more sick of certain action movies being totally bloodless just make sure they get the PG-13, because "R is box office suicide".

[Shadow Hog]

Honestly, this is right up PG-13's alley, particularly when you consider that Raiders of the Lost Ark had Belloq's head explode, graphically, despite a PG rating. (Of course PG-13 didn't exist then, but it'd probably be rated as such if it had.)

It's still pretty disturbing, especially when usually Two Face is just depicted with a monster face on the side - whereas this has him with his freakin' flesh burned off.

Is that bone I see by his chin?

[DackAttac]

Chin? Hell, you can see his whole jawbone.

But yeah, total agreement on Indy there. Hell, he's the reason PG-13 exists, and it was over gore, to boot.

Yeah, but the overall tone of his films has also been realism. Nobody who has suffered that much damage to their face as a result of burns could possibly still be alive. I'm extremely skeptical about this image being legit.

I got a friend who worked on set with the air conditioning company for a day, back when they were shooting at Pinewood. He had to, in his words, "keep Batman cool for the day". Anyway, he got a chance to poke around the sets and see a few things, notably the late Heath Ledger in full Joker-face, having a cigarette and chatting up women. He also said he got to see Eckhart's makeup and costume, and his description matches that picture very closely. If it's not "official", then it's made by someone who's been on-set and seen it first hand.
