The ending of 2008's The Dark Knight features Batman wrestling with a complicated moral dilemma. Should he let Harvey Dent's crimes as Two-Face be exposed, or allow Gotham City to keep on believing in its "White Knight"? According to actor Aaron Eckhart, Harvey himself would have disagreed with Batman's final decision. Eckhart reflected on his iconic DC role during an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, making it clear Harvey never would have supported Batman and Commissioner Gordon's decision to cover up the truth and maintain the illusion that he was a hero until the very end. "No, he would’ve told the truth," said Eckhart. "That’s the great thing about Harvey Dent. Despite whatever is going on, he’s a truth-teller and he’s a moral center. And not only that, he’s the face of truth, right? I don’t want to say he’s not hiding behind something, but he’s not. Now when he becomes Two-Face, he is. But Harvey Dent was out there fighting for every man and woman, for truth and justice, and he put himself on the line. But having done so, he got bit, and he was forever changed. But you don’t want to lose your Harvey Dents in life. No matter how much money or pressure there is, no matter how much coercion, control or corruption there is, Harvey Dent is going to stay true to the moral center and the truth. People can rely on that, and you don’t see that today." [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=ranking-the-batman-movies&captions=true"] Eckhart continued, "Again, I don’t want to say hiding behind a mask, but superheroes are behind masks and capes, et cetera. Well, what about the superheroes that aren’t hiding behind a mask? What about the superheroes that stay true to themselves and to the greater good — without any superpowers? Where are they? And that’s what’s exciting about Harvey Dent, especially in a town like Gotham where everybody’s corrupt. It’s so dark." Of course, the point is somewhat moot given that Harvey dies during his final confrontation with Batman, not to mention his crimes are exposed eight years later during the events of The Dark Knight Rises. Still, Eckhart provides an interesting contrast between Gotham's two heroes, one who relies on secrecy and mystery and the other who abhors dishonesty of all forms. To date, Eckhart and Tommy Lee Jones are the only actors to play Two-Face in live-action, though the Harvey Dent role has also been played by Billy Dee Williams in 1989's Batman and Nicholas D'Agosto in the TV series Gotham. The villain nearly appeared on the 1966 Batman series, but due to broadcast standards at the time, none of the various Two-Face-centric teleplays were ever filmed. However, one of those scripts was eventually adapted in the form of the 2017 animated film Batman vs. Two-Face, featuring William Shatner as Two-Face and the late Adam West in his final performance as Batman. It remains to be seen if Two-Face will appear in a future DCEU movie or in the new cinematic universe being introduced in The Batman. At one point actor Peter Sarsgaard was rumored to be playing Dent, but we now know he's playing a new DA character named Gil Colson. The cast of The Batman also includes Robert Pattinson as Bruce Wayne/Batman, Zoe Kravitz as Selina Kyle, Jeffrey Wright as Commissioner Gordon, Paul Dano as Edward Nashton/The Riddler, Andy Serkis as Alfred Pennyworth, John Turturro as mob boss Carmine Falcone and Colin Farrell as the Penguin. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/08/23/the-batman-trailer-dc-fandome-official-footage"] The Batman is currently scheduled for release on March 4, 2022, after being delayed multiple times due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Warning: this article contains spoilers for The Mandalorian Season 2, Episode 5 and the series finale of Star Wars Rebels! [poilib element="accentDivider"] Ahsoka Tano may have finally appeared on The Mandalorian, but there's a lot we still don't know about her journey after the events of the original trilogy. And now "The Jedi" director Dave Filoni is casting even more doubt on the Ahsoka timeline, hinting the final scene in Star Wars Rebels may actually take place after The Mandalorian. Filoni teased a possible nonlinear approach to Ahsoka's story in an interview with Vanity Fair (via ScreenRant). While not confirming one way or the other, Filoni makes it clear fans shouldn't assume The Mandalorian is taking place after the Rebels finale. "That's not necessarily chronological," Filoni told Vanity Fair. "I think the thing that people will most not understand is they want to go in a linear fashion, but as I learned as a kid, nothing in Star Wars really works in a linear fashion. You do [Episodes] Four, Five and Six and then One, Two, and Three. So in the vein of that history, when you look at the epilogue of Rebels you don't really know how much time has passed. So, it's possible that the story I'm telling in The Mandalorian actually takes place prior to that. Possible. I'm saying it's possible." [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=the-mandalorian-season-2&captions=true"] For those who haven't seen the entirety of Rebels, the series ends on a fairly open-ended note, with aspiring Jedi Ezra Bridger and his nemesis Grand Admiral Thrawn being dragged across the galaxy aboard a runaway Star Destroyer. The fates of both characters remain a mystery, though it's generally assumed both will eventually reappear, either on The Mandalorian itself or another Star Wars series. While the majority of that episode takes place before the events of Rogue One and A New Hope, there is a time jump near the end. The final sequence in the Rebels finale features narration from Ahsoka herself, as we see glimpses of  the roles Hera Syndulla, Sabine Wren and Captain Rex played in defeating the Empire, culminating in a scene where Ahsoka reunites with her friends on Lothal to seek out the missing Ezra and Thrawn. Based on the context of that episode, it's always been assumed this reunion scene is taking place shortly after the events of Return of the Jedi. The Mandalorian, meanwhile, is set roughly five years after that movie, and Ahsoka makes it clear in "The Jedi" she's on the hunt for Thrawn. Fans have naturally assumed this means Ahsoka is continuing her quest from the Rebels finale, but Filoni's comments cast the episode in a different light. That Rebels reunion scene may have happened later in the Star Wars timeline than we realized. Perhaps Ahsoka doesn't reunite with Hera and Sabine until after she finds the intel she needs on Thrawn's whereabouts. As ScreenRant points out, this would also imply Sabine has stayed on Lothal in the five years since the fall of the Empire. We've previously speculated Sabine might be the next Rebels character to make the jump to live-action, so it's possible Din Djarin and Grogu's adventures will eventually take them to that familiar planet.

The Activity Cards that appear as part of the PS5 user interface were created by Sony in response to player complaints about single player gaming. A new report from Vice details an internal Sony document that the company used to explain its new Activities and game help systems. The documents reportedly begins with Sony explaining that “single player is thriving” and that PlayStation owners regularly spend more time playing offline games than online ones. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/10/15/first-look-at-the-ps5-ui"] To ensure offline games were better catered to, Sony had gathered some criticism of single player gaming which needed to be addressed on PS5. The problems included players saying they “don't play unless I have 2+ free hours” because of being unsure of how long a game may ask of them, that they “Forgot what I was doing in this game last time”, and that it “Takes a lot of time to scan through long help videos when stuck”. Players were also concerned about using social tools because of game spoilers. In response, the document presents the PS5 Activity Cards. As you may know, Activities provide on-screen card prompts for different aspects of a game, often along with an estimated time for completion. When playing Spider-Man: Miles Morales, for example, you can see that a side quest will take five minutes, or a main quest that will need 45 minutes. These cards will then take you directly to those activities. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=what-works-and-what-doesnt-about-the-ps5&captions=true"] In addition, Cards can be used to provide game help, and the PS5 features more tools to keep spoiler content under wraps so as not to ruin other players’ experiences.

A substantial operating system update has landed on the Xbox Series X and S and the Xbox One family of systems, providing users with custom dynamic backgrounds and the ability to preload Xbox Game Pass games. You can see the full update notes on the Xbox Wire website, which digs into the ins and outs of the first major update for Xbox Series X|S. [caption id="attachment_244644" align="aligncenter" width="720"] The six new dynamic themes available with the new Xbox OS update.[/caption] Preloading for Game Pass means that if you're anticipating a game that is launching on Game Pass in the future, you can choose to download it ahead of time so there are no bumps in the road on launch day. In addition, akin to Netflix, the Xbox Game Pass app on console or mobile now has a 'Coming Soon' section that will tell you what games are arriving in the near future. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/11/05/xbox-series-x-review"] Alongside the Game Pass preloads are six new dynamic backgrounds, which each pay homage to previous Xbox consoles, including one with concentric circles that harkens back to the days of the Xbox 360. The update also adds special filters for your game library that allow you to sort by games optimised for the Xbox Series X and S. There is also now a new UI tag that lets you know when a game is utilising Auto HDR, which displays when you open the Guide menu. You'll also be able to check your achievements in the Game Activity tab, accessed by pressing the Xbox button. In other Xbox news, Microsoft is working to figure out why PS5 is outperforming the Series X in certain games. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Jordan Oloman is a freelance writer for IGN.
