Last night there was a party celebrating The Dark Knight and it included a Q&A with the press (I'm assuming this is for the DVD release), which Aaron attended. InContention wrote a report about it and here's the part about Aaron:
An evening with the cast and crew of 'The Dark Night (source: InContention)
Thomas was talking with actor Aaron Eckhart away from the fray when I butted in. I first met Eckhart two years ago at a party for Guillermo Del Toro, Alfonso Cuarón and Alejandro González Iñárritu. The word was that Eckhart was going to be cast as Harvey Dent in Nolan’s upcoming “Batman Begins” sequel. “Are you gonna be in Batman,” I asked him at the time. “Who told you that,” he responded with a smile. “We’ll see.” Eckhart remembered the moment and reflected on just how much he was in the dark on the upcoming film at the time. “I really didn’t know just how deep this character was going to be,” Eckhart said. Thomas said he signed on before there was even a screenplay in place. Ledger, too. “It was a leap of faith for these guys,” she said.
One of the most pivotal scenes of “The Dark Knight” is a bedside encounter between Harvey Dent and Ledger’s Joker, a moment Eckhart has said caused him to really step up and bring his A-game. “Anytime you’re in a movie, as an actor, it’s all about you,” he said with a laugh. “So yeah, I have an ego, but no one has ever come to play like Heath did. And I’ve never seen someone stay in character between takes yet be so open to the cast and crew.”
I made it a point of digging into the fate of Eckhart’s character in the film. “I don’t care, I don’t think you’re dead,” I said. “Oh, I’m dead,” he responded. I immediately leaned in to Thomas and told her I’m well aware of what she has said on the matter, and all she could offer was a devilish grin. Eckhart jumped in: “Look, if you guys want me back (meaning Thomas, Nolan and company), I’d love to come back.” The case may not be as closed as we’d think.
Lastly, here is a video of Aaron signing autographs for fans at the GQ Men of the Year party, Aaron Eckhart is no villain

There's a new interview with Aaron in the January issue of FHM UK with Katy Perry on the cover. Here's a little snippet from it:
Aaron Eckhart's deadly revenge (source: MyParkMag)
Aaron Eckhart would kill for his family.
The actor can empathise with Harvey 'Two-Face' Dent, his character in Batman movie 'The Dark Knight', who vows to get his revenge on the person who murdered his fiancee.
He said: "If someone tortured and killed my fiancee would I go on a killing spree? I would think about it.
"It'd be difficult not to have vengeful feelings. I don't think you'd be a man if you didn't think those thoughts.
"If somebody blew up the girl I loved, and had been torturing the citizens of my city and I saw the Joker, I would kill him."
The actor also admitted he struggled to get female attention after making 'In The Company of Men', in which his character says: "I don't trust anything that bleeds for a week and doesn't die".
He explained to FHM magazine: "Women gave me a wide berth afterwards. Some women were physically repulsed by me. Even two years after the movie I was having a fitting for a suit and the shop girl couldn't cope. She didn't recognise me but just felt hugely uncomfortable.
"But then again, some women were attracted to it. A few said they knew my character was bad but it turned them on. One girl said, 'Your character's horrible but what are you doing on Monday?' "

Eckhart's Sweet Nothings on Aniston (source: E! Online - Click for more )
Aaron Eckhart, what a babe, huh? Well, The Dark Knight’s White Knight is just that in real life, so it seems. We asked the chiseled actor what it was like working with gossip girl Jennifer Aniston in their new movie, Traveling, which A.E. himself calls “a total chick flick.” Like Aniston would act (or get cast) in anything else, duh.
Says Eck-hon: “It was wonderful; she was awesome to work with. Good friend, sweet girl, total pro. She has just a heart of gold, and I totally enjoyed the experience.”

Aaron Eckhart suits up for 'Battle' (source: The Hollywood Reporter)
By Borys Kit
Nov 17, 2008, 01:00 AM ET
Aaron Eckhart is attached to star in "Battle: Los Angeles," a sci-fi actioner that Jonathan Liebesman is directing for Columbia. Neal Moritz and his Original Film are producing.
The deal puts the actor front and center on an action movie for the first time. Eckhart had made his name working on less mainstream films, among others starring in "In the Company of Men" and "Thank You for Smoking." He had one of his biggest roles to date in the summer, playing Harvey Dent/Two-Face in "The Dark Knight," the blockbuster that has grossed more than $997 million worldwide.
The story, written by Chris Bertolini, revolves around a Marine platoon's encounter in the battle on the streets of Los Angeles against an alien invasion. Eckhart will play the platoon leader in the film, which has yet to set a start date.
CAA-repped Eckhart next stars opposite Jennifer Aniston in "Traveling."
