OK, those of you who haven’t seen The Dark Knight-- all 12 of you—need to click away instantly, less the spoiler-phobes come and kill me in my sleep. OK, ready? I’m not going to take the flak if you feel spoiled after this paragraph.
So one of the big questions at the end of The Dark Knight is whether or not Harvey Dent, played by Aaron Eckhart, survived his several-story fall when Batman knocked him out of a building. Bats, of course, got up and walked away to the Batpod. Dent, however, was memorialized in a funeral as if he had never become Two-Face. Whether or not the actual Two-Face lived, though, was a mystery.
But Eckhart himself might have an answer. He told WENN, as posted by IMDB that he “absolutely” would star in a third Batman movie. “To work with Christian (Bale) all over again, and the cast, would be phenomenal. I think this movie is a movie of a lifetime."
Now, this is obviously far from a confirmation that Dent is alive, or even that Eckhart will be in the film—Christopher Nolan could have called him up immediately to break the bad news. But it will surely spark debate between people who think that Dent is alive or dead, and cause even more speculation about which direction the third movie will go. I personally would love to see Eckhart back in the third movie, given how little of Two-Face we saw. How about you guys?

Two Face did not die. One of the main points in the storyline was that Batman would not take a life. In the scene where Batman hangs Maroni off the building he comments that a fall from that height wouldn't kill him, the distance Dent fell was no higher. In my opinion he was unconcious but very much alive. The memorial was Gordan and Batman's way of making the people of Gotham believe that their white knight died a hero. They had to make sure that Gotham didn't lose hope.
