It seems that the next Batman installment from Christopher Nolan is swirling with casting rumors. Last week, Katie Holmes pulled out and Maggie Gyllenhaal is all but ready to step into her shoes.

This week, it's the most anticipated casting of all, who will play Harvey "Two-Face" Dent. After months of speculation and a wide variety of Hollywood's brightest and dullest, the man filling Tommy Lee Jones' shoes is Aaron Eckhart.

Eckhart was last seen in The Black Dahlia and won widespread critical acclaim for his turn in Thank You for Smoking. The Dark Knight is set to debut in theaters on July 18, 2008.
