Completely agree. Heath Ledger is (justifiably) garnering all the praise for his performance. But I feel like Aaron Eckhart was on par with him. As great as the Joker is, it's a performance of a fairly singular minded entity. Joker is all about chaos. And there's nothing wrong with that. But Eckhart has to portray Dent's descent from the White Knight of Gotham, the pinnacle of honour and justice, to Two Face. And he does so realistically, and sympathetically. He doesn't even feel like a comic book villain. He feels so damn.....sad.
Brilliance. And yeah Fox's spoiler was probably my favourite moment of Dent's as well.
