Damn Two Face looks incredible. Wish I hadn't clicked the spoiler though, because that would have scared the shit out of me if I had seen it for the first time on the big screen

Don't know if that pic was real or not but some sites have already been warned by WB to take the photo down.

I would assume that the pic is basically a concept art and would maybe come quite close to what the actual Two-face would look like. After all, in an interview with the LA Times, Eckhart himself said, ""When you look at [him], you should get sick to your stomach. Being the guy under all that, well, that was a lot of fun for me. It's like you would feel if you met someone whose face had pretty much been ripped off or burned off with acid [...] There are fans on the Internet who have done artist's versions of what they think it will look like, and I can tell you this: They're thinking small; Chris is going way farther than people think."

Just imagine what he'll look like with the CGI and everything in full motion!

I didn't think they could make anything scarier than the Joker, but wow, they topped themselves!

That'll be too vicious for kids. I wouldn't doubt that it's the concept art for the makeup, but a lot of it sure to be obscured with lighting and camera angles.

The fish crew in PotC: World's End were as gruesome looking, I thought. It seems anything that can be chalked up to fantasy like PotC, Lord of the Rings, or Batman gets a lot of leeway with the MPAA. The Scarecrow in 'Begins' was pretty frightening, although not as graphic.

That image of Two-Face looks really promising. I'm just happy to see that he doesn't have purple hair.

Not sure of the source, but this is quoted from another message board I frequent.
It's real, however it's one of the very early concept designs (remember what I reported to you regarding the look of The Joker before that was public knowledge? This image of Two Face is from around the same period of early design tests). Just like the early concept design of The Joker largely informed the final look, it wasn't dead on (i.e. They decided to retain the purple suit rather than the raggedy, pieced together costume, etc), but certain elements carried through to the final screen version (The “Cut Smile“).

In the case of this particular design, it's closer to what you'll see than that early Joker design was, but it's not a good representation of what it looks like on camera (and, as I alluded to above, it's not *exactly* what the screen look is). It's not really what you'll see in the movie, but the general idea is still very much intact.

I don't mean to be overly cryptic, but I know that a lot of people are trying to retain the surprise of the Two-Face look, and this concept art doesn't properly represent what Aaron looks like onscreen.”

I wouldn't expect the charred ash look, maybe only for the shot or two he might have in TDK... Maybe he heals a little for the next one? Don't burns usually get that shiny, waxy look to them over time?

ok. Silly me was actually looking for Spawn. Now, THAT would have been a cool Easter Egg in the movie.

The Two-Face concept design whether it's legit or not, looks pretty cool, although I didn't really like the look of the eye.

I had a difficult time finding the Joker figure in Colorado this past week. I checked a few targets, Wal-Mart, and a Toys R' Us before finally finding a Joker at an isolated Wal-Mart. The stores I visited had the Batman and the Joker Thug in stock, and it looks like the Batman without his mask will be the "chase" or limited edition figure of this wave.

I just saw three of the Joker figures at a local Wal-Mart tonight. I decided to pass because they weren't that great quality and $12 a piece at that.

I absolutely loathe that specific Joker figure found in that link. It's too cartoony, looks like something out of the new batman animated series "The Batman". There is a much more realistic Joker figure out there, with his purple outfit, and I was lucky enough to find one left at my Walmart today.

Back on topic, this is by far my most anticipated movie and that new trailer is stunning!

Yeah, that cartoonish looking one is quote common in my area. It's the $12 Deluxe Figures that look more human; but even that one like I said looks like crap when it comes to the head.

In fact, the figures that were flying off the shelves at the same Wal-Mart were the Indiana Jones figures. In fact, I've yet to see any figure from that series other than the two or three variants of Mutt and one lone Belloq in ceremonial garb.

Is this real? I can't seem to find the original Batman trailer that looks like this. I am guessing re-edit.
