Dent cast in Batman Begins sequel?

Rumour is out that someone is being eyed for the D.A. Harvey Dent in the Batman Begins sequel, and it's someone young, Ryan Phillippe from the superb Crash (review).

According to Batman on Film through Moviehole he's currently being considered for the role and the character of Dent will team up with Batman in the movie to bring to justice the Joker himself.

I've no sway either way on Phillippe playing Dent, seems like a good casting choice though, and it does sound more and more like the origin tale that we're expecting. Another cracking Batman film looks set to loom. Is Phillippe your choice for Dent?

I like it.

Not so sure about Ledger, but this shows promise and Phillipe has that chilling delivery to give Two Face a new and lethal edge. I could dig that.

if you want to know what the Dent character should be, look no further than the original Batman: The Animated Series version of the origin story.

Dashing...suave...built...honest looking.

yep. Phillipe fits the bill!!!

I would be completely fine if Phillipe is cast as Dent, I think he has talent.

Agree with the comments above, I think Phillippe is a good choice as I've always thought him to be a talented young actor with lots of potential. Still trying to get my head around the whole 'Ledger as the Joker' idea, but I was pleased with this particular piece of casting news.

I was just about to ask before posting as to who this character Harvey Dent is, if not for Peter who told me and also Rynndar saying it was the guy who went on to become Two Face then I am ALL FOR THIS CASTING NEWS! :D

I love Ryan Philippe ever since I saw him in "Cruel Intentions".
