Josh Lucas (Hulk, American Psycho) may be lined up to play Harvey Dent in a future Batman movie, internet rumours have suggested.

A post on website Batman On Film includes a statement from a "new scooper" who said: "A name that is getting a bit of run...for the Batman Begins sequel is Josh Lucas. The word is that he could end up as a candidate for Dent."

Previously played by Tommy Lee Jones in Batman Forever, Gotham City's District Attorney Harvey Dent becomes insane criminal Two Face after having acid thrown in his face.

The casting possibility is emphasised by the site as being purely rumour at this time, and with conjecture already flying around for possible casting choices for The Joker and The Penguin, it is likely that Two Face will not make an appearance until a second sequel to Batman Begins.
