      ^Apparently he's the main villain! It would be incredibly ironic if they used the unfilmed Harlan Ellison script they adapted into the comic special last year.

        Now THAT is freakin awesome! It almost looks like Captain Kirk from the animated Trek series making an appearance.

        Me and my brother are going to see it on Thanksgiving Monday - can't wait.

          ^This is actually going to be a sequel to the first movie, so no Shatner in the one in theaters Monday.

          But, I'm seeing it too! Really stoked to see it!

            Oh, I'd love to see the Ellison screenplay adapted. But then we'd have to endure his endless grousing about how it was misused lol.

            I''d have never thought of Shatner as Dent--I've always solidly advocated Rock Hudson as contemporaneous casting--but now this seems fun.

              I've always liked James Garner as Two-Face. Apparently he was considered, along with Clint Eastwood!

                See Rock's film Seconds. Revelatory but commercially unsuccessful. But he could have done Batman'66 as a cross-promotion of Ice-Sation Zebra I guess. I can see Garber as well, though more in look than performance. Eastwood might be more apt.

                How concrete is the "scarred news-anchor" theory?

                  Oh yeah, Hudson could have pulled it off.

                  I know one of the OTHER Two-Face's from the comics was an actor, and they ran with a similar idea in one of the treatments for the TV series, as I recall.

                    ^Yes, I think that was the anchorman idea that Joel Eisner mentioned? In the comics, wasn't Paul Sloane the second Two-Face? I think DC reworked him recently as Charlatan.

                          Funny, I always thought Shat would be the perfect Two Face. Now I might have to redo the head on my 66 Harvey.

                            My first 2-Face in 1997 used the Mego Shatner head.

                              ^Very cool Austin!

                              Alex Ross' cover looks like Lyle Waggoner as Two-Face.
