But how good would it be to have Dent transform right at the end of a Batman movie? A cliffhanger ending? In fact, I think they have cast Dent for this film - I'm not sure on that, yet, but I think they have - and I don't think Two-Face is gonna show just yet.

The Billy Dee Williams setup wasn't a terribly good one for a few reasons, and I'm not sure whether they ever intended on using it...but I digress: 1) Williams wasn't the D.A., he was running for Mayor, 2) there was no friendship between Dent, Gordon and Batman (although this may have been a new idea pre-Loeb), 3) 'they' (whoever 'they' is) decided to wait three movies to introduce Two-Face, and of course, we all know number 4) Burton was good, Shumacher was crap, and 'they' (again, the powers that be) should never have allowed him to follow the same continuity...
