Two Blasphemies Concerning Aaron Eckhart and The Dark Knight:
- As hot as Christian Bale is — and he is smokin’ — Aaron Eckhart is much, much hotter.
- As kick-ass awesome as Heath Ledger’s performance as The Joker is — and it’s a tour de force, to be sure — Aaron Eckhart’s performance as Harvey Dent kicks more ass. And there’s an arc, people. An arc.
In other, vaguely The Dark Knight-related news, if you sometimes get the feeling that your host here at This.That.No Other. thinks that the city in which he resides is, at best, a second-world nation, let him just remind you that what you see below is not rare, nor is it occasional.

I’m not with you on #1 (I’ll go with a tie, although perhaps a tad hotter as Two-Face, but that’s a quirk of mine), but I wholeheartedly agree on #2.
*Totally* agree. Just saw the film tonight and Eckhart is that one that stood out for me as Dent. Great lookin’ guy too, you’re spot on.
Aaron should never, never be allowed anywhere near a shirt or other insidious “top”…
Green all year long…
I’ve been a fan of Eckhart since seeing “In The Company of Men”. Sexiest Mormon since Donny O.
he was daring to take on the role of renee zelweger’s husband in nurse betty, only to get scalped by chris rock.
and i couldn’t help notice how he TOWERED over renee.
“you had me at woof”.
I totally agree about Mr. Eckhart being smokin’ hot. BTW, I call dibs on him!
And yeah, his character had more depth and story, but the Joker had that completely contemptible creepiness and utterly sinister quality that was amazing.
