@1-800No honestly? I don't think I believe it either.
I mean, it was reported on by a "trustworthy source" but also, it was only days before that that the reports were saying he was "in talks" to play Harvey.
"In talks" sounds to me like "we're lying but we don't want to admit it so instead, we're just going to pretend like the contract hasn't been nailed down yet and when it inevitably doesn't happen, we'll shrug and say "well, we did say that he was just in talks".
Except then the rumor got so much attention that suddenly, it was definitely happening and he wasn't just "in talks" anymore.
But, like, Matt Reeves had previously said something about how he's doing something that hasn't been done before in live action. Two face has been done in: the 60s Batman show, Gotham (tv show), The Dark Knight, Gotham Knights (tv show, though he was only ever Harvey in that, not two face)...and another movie, too, i think. Can't remember which one. Batman Forever, maybe?
Anyway, so Harvey Dent just doesn't make sense. Unless he was talking about Robin... But I don't think so.
I think this rumor was just so popular that it spread.
But I guess we'll see.
