Who agrees Aaron Eckhart is the Paul Dano of The Dark Knight?
By that I mean the guy who gave one hell of a performance but was completely ignored due to his overshadowing by the absolutely incomparable performance elsewhere in the film. By that I obviously mean Heath Ledger and Daniel Day Lewis respectively. Both were so great in their respective films you didn't notice just how good Eckhart and Dano were as well.

1. I thought the whole cast of The Dark Knight was good.
But Eckhart was a particular standout. I can't imagine how touch it was to try to sell that kind of character transformation, but he succeeded...at least for me.

2. I also agree.
I'm hoping that the character isn't actually dead as the movie implied - I went in thinking that they would be setting up the next film with Two-Face as the primary villain.

3. wait. Daniel Day Lewis was in this?
you mean Gary Oldman perhaps? Did I miss something?

But yeah, Eckhart was good.

5. No, I'm referring to his role in There Will Be Blood
Dano gave a great performance in that movie too, but was quite overshadowed. Just like Eckhart and Ledger.

4. I really like Aaron Eckhart - he was great in "Thank You for Smoking"
and I'm glad to see he's getting more roles. Haven't seen TDK, though.
