thats what I'm hearing also. Notice how this was leaked the day of comic con? Perhaps to get fan reaction?? Regardless I trust Nolan.....I'm just curious what direction they will be taking with Dent/Two Face now? Can't wait to see who Nolan goes with.
Can Ledger do justice to Joker? Possibly. There are a lot of actors out there who could of been well suited for this role. However, that doesn't mean he's the wrong choice for Nolan's interpretation of the character. For one thing, Nolan wanted Joker to be young. It is ironic that the news came during Comic-Con, even though Nolan didn't make an appearence like he "supposedly" was going to. Which still means "Ledger as Joker" hasn't been given the official word. It would be rather disappointing if this whole thing turned out to be false, and built all this hype.
For Dent, it
could be heading in the same direction. All the names that have been attached to the role, like Joker, could just be "grist on the mill". Probably incase Nolan can't find the right person he wants. For all we know, he could be negotiating with an actor privately. He did sound interested though when he was told
Lucas was interested in the role, but hadn't heard anything about it. That doesn't necessarily mean that he wants him as Harvey.
Whoever he has in mind already, or whoever he wants to have a screentest, I'll support it. If Ledger is the right choice for Joker, in his eyes. Fine. If he wants someone young or older for Dent, same thing. As long as he feels he's making the right choice.

If Ledger is cast as Joker...then I would prefer they go with a Dent that at least as old as Bale or slightly older. Thats why Eric Bana is starting to grow on me as Dent. I think Dent should be more be played by a more mature actor and not a young pup like Ledger is.
Honestly? If Ledger does in fact get the role, then it shows me that age isn't a requirement for Nolan. It's their acting ability toward the characters he's bringing on screen.

I wouldn't believe those rumors that say Katie will be stay-at-home mom from now on. No reliable source has reported that. Only tabloids, rags like The National Enquirer. Besides "People" reported recently that Katie had a meeting with CAA (her agency), which probably means, she is getting back to her career.
Sorry to disappoint, but I do think she will be back to this sequel. Hopefully she will even be in the third movie.
It was BOF who reported it. I wouldn't mind if Holmes returned to the sequel for continuities sake. She wasn't all
that bad in Begins, as some hail her to have been. Regardless even if the role wasn't all too big. There was another report that if she didn't return, there would be a 'female lead', instead of a 'love interest' for the sequel.
