Harvey Dent is in this film, and apparently has the accident that turns him into Two Face.

[Hills420]

I anticipate Two Face is in the next one, does that mean the Riddler as well? I would not mind seeing the penguin however I have doubts that Mr. Freeze can ever be done right (without being cheesy)

Yeah it was him talking to someone at a bar but you never saw his face but a quick search on google you will see his face, plus I linked the aftermath on here somewhere

@solidsapphire yep it does between Begins and Knight but in Anime form.

@duritz I wasn't on about Joker as answered here its common knowledge Harvey Dent becomes two face so expect to be around him.

Dark Knight Selling Out Three Weeks Early

Batman fans anxious to get a glimpse of the late Heath Ledger's portrayal of the Joker are snatching up tickets online more than three weeks before The Dark Knight's July 17 premiere.

Dozens of midnight screenings of director Christopher Nolan's second installment in the bat-franchise have sold out, causing theaters across the country to tack on 3 a.m. showings to meet fan demand, according to online ticket retailer Fandango.

"We are currently seeing a surge in advance ticket sales," said Ted Hong, vice president of marketing for Fandango, which first began selling tickets for Dark Knight last Friday. "It makes sense that there's a rush for tickets -- it looks action-packed and film fans are anxious to see Heath Ledger."

When Fandango polled members back in March to determine which summer blockbusters its customers were most interested in, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull took first place, with Dark Knight coming in second. However, the scramble for advance Dark Knight tickets is currently outpacing Indy 4's presale numbers.

Exhibitor Relations box office analyst Jeff Bock said he thinks the presale surge was to be expected.

"This movie comes in riding a wave of hype [batman Begins] didn't," said Bock. He also attributes the rush to fans anxious to see Ledger portray Batman's warped nemesis in what could be the actor's last on-screen performance. Ledger died in January of an overdose of prescription drugs at age 28.

Joel Cohen, executive vice president at ticketing hub MovieTickets.com, said Dark Knight is doing remarkably well, even though advance sales for Nolan's previous bat-flick, Batman Begins, were practically nonexistent in 2005.

"It's tracking much stronger than Spider-Man 3 at the same time in the sales cycle," he said. Director Sam Raimi's second Spidey sequel went on last year to set the record for best opening weekend ever.

A massive viral-marketing campaign for Dark Knight, along with a glowing advance review by Rolling Stone film critic Peter Travers, is adding fuel to bat-fire.

Exhibitor Relations' Bock predicts the Warner Bros. film could push well beyond $100 million in its opening weekend. In May, Marvel's superhero flick Iron Man garnered $102.1 million during its opening weekend, while Steven Spielberg's Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull pulled in $100.1 million.

The question on the tip of every fanboy and girl's tongue is, will this film be able to outpace Spider-Man 3's record-shattering opening weekend of $151 million?

"That record would be really tough to break," said Bock. "But we're expecting really big things."

Awesome! I am going to see this in IMAX here in New Delhi definately!

Gary Oldman who plays Lt. Gordon in the upcoming movie The Dark Knight recently talked about the future of the villains in the Batman franchise, including The Joker and The Riddler.

Over the weekend, Movie Hole spoke to Gary Oldman about Heath Ledger?s role as The Joker, and what he thinks will happen for a third film. Note: If need be, does he believe The Joker will be recast, and if not, who?s the next villain??

?I don?t see why not. I mean, they did it with Katie Holmes? character. I understand that this is a different circumstance, but I think another actor could do the job. I think Heath would want another actor to do the job.? Oldman then took a moment to think about it some more, ?Maybe we don?t need the Joker. Because we?ll have The Riddler.?

Nice save, Oldman. Also, poor Katie Holmes analogy. The following question is bound to paint the Earth in the coming weeks, just as it did with the release of Batman Begins (and look how that played out): Will Christopher Nolan return?

?We don?t really know if Nolan is coming back. ?I guess I have to come back. ?Nolan will come back for a third one. I think we all have to.?

As is widely known, Oldman didn?t aspire to play Lt. Gordon a second time, or a third, apparently. Alas, The Man forced him to. Our sympathies.

For over a year, the rumor has persisted that Anthony Michael Hall (Weird Science, Rusty Griswold) plays Edward Nigma aka The Riddler in TDK. A few commenters have referenced the rumors as proof down below. Days ago, Hall, who plays a TV anchor named Mike Engel in the sequel, shot the chatter down to Sci-Fi?

??people thought I was playing the Riddler, that I had a cooler role than I actually did. ?But I was very happy to hear that there was talk online, I guess with Batman fans suggesting that maybe I was playing the Riddler. I wish I was, you know? I wish I was Batman, to be honest with you, but I think Christian has it locked up.?
