Detailed description of The Dark Knight footage from Wizard World, reported at Aint it Cool by "The Godd****d Batman"
*SPOILERS*
Any apprehension I had about the Joker's apperance disappeared. He doesn't look like the classic Joker in any way shape or form, and from what I can tell he has visable makeup lines, so I am guessing whatever causes his "Transformation" in this one will be nothing like any other telling of the joker.
It was short, and didn't give away to much, so I'll try and just bring up the highlights.
-- The Joker looks terrifying. There is footage of him in interrogation with a voice over from Gordon, they can't find whatever it is they are looking for on him, "All he had in his pockets was lint, and a knife."
--There are explosions, shots of the batmobile, and what looks like a tube holding the bat costume rising from the floor.
-- There is a shot of the Joker walking down and apparently enflamed city street, laughing and firing what looked like a tommy gun, but really could have been another automatic rifle.
-- Bruce Wayne meets Harvey Dent for the first time,
Dent: "The famous Bruce Wayne, Rachel has told me all about you!"
Wayne: "I hope not."
A lot of quick cuts, the batmobile exploding through a wall of flame, the joker holding Maggie Gyllenhal at knife point, and Batman kicking through the door in the interrogation room from the beginning of the clip, he lifts the Joker over his head and slams him on the table... HARD.
AND THEN...
A coin flips onto a counter next to a glass on a bar, the bartender starts to pour the shot before looking up, his response, "Jesus, Harvey, I thought you were dead!"
A hand picks up the shot, and it is slammed off screen before Aaron Eckhart's voice answers, "Half."
That was it, the crowd went nuts, before con volunteers started running up and down the isles of the pannel with blacklights, and the shirts had in I guess blacklight reactive ink HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA printed all over them. I was in one line or another for about 11 hours today, and it was completely worth it. The trailer and footage were incredibly bada**, and I am now looking forward to this movie even more than I was.
You can’t just have your characters announce how they feel! That makes me feel angry!
“Batman is a complex character, and Two-Face comes a little bit from the same world,” Eckhart said. “But [at the same time], he’s apart from it. I’m looking for the tension between the two, the similarities between the two. I want to find what’s similar to Batman, and then find what’s opposite to him.”

Putting Joker AND Two-Face in the same movie (and they have Scarecrow back?) is starting to sound crowded. Joker and Two-Face are very similar characters for a start...

But we will probably only see the set-up of Two-Face for the third film.
I don't think he will play that big of a role in the 2nd one.
