No, it's not legit. Read further down on the link. Although it is a clever video. :D
Killing me won't bring back your Goddamned honey!

Just the fact there's so many similar shots to edit together like that is impressive.  Very interesting.

The guy who made that posts on two other forums I frequent. He was a little shocked at how viral it became, all due to people mistaking it for the real deal. :P

QuoteLA Times got the chance to speak to Aaron Eckhart, who dropped a few hints about the Two-Face character from the upcoming "The Dark Knight."

"I can tell you that, basically, when you look at Two-Face, you should get sick to your stomach," he explained. "Being the guy under all that, well, that was a lot of fun for me. It's like you would feel if you met someone whose face had pretty much been ripped off or burned off with acid. I can't talk about it beyond that because I don't want to give away too much of the plans by Chris [Nolan]."

One aspect of the character that's very different from what fans have previously seen is that his wounds are structurally deeper. "There are fans on the Internet who have done artist's versions of what they think it will look like," said Eckhart. "And I can tell you this: They're thinking small; Chris is going way farther than people think."

Two-Face in the film is more of a vigilante hunting down the Joker than he is a criminal, as he has most often been portrayed in the comics. His trademark is flipping a two-headed coin, one side defaced, the other pristine, and letting its landing determine his actions, often in situations where he has a gun to someone's head.

"The difference between Batman and Two-Face is how far they are willing to go and how they make their point," Eckhart said. "Otherwise, we're talking about vigilante crime-fighting. That's what Batman is all about. He has a strong sense of justice. And Harvey Dent has an extremely strong sense of justice. His fiancée is killed. He's horribly injured. But he is still true to himself. He's a crime fighter, he's not killing good people. He's not a bad guy, not purely."

I didn't think that Two-Face was actually two-face in this one.  I thought it was a set up for the 3rd movie.  Now I'm even more interested... if that was possible anyway.

Chaos

From what I had understood, this movie is about the origins of Two-Face, so it is basically following the arc of Dent becoming Two-Face. So yeah, by the end, he should be transformed and showing us what he is all about with the split personalities and so forth.

Should be a good show.

Just in case you wanted to see what two face looks like, aintitcool has posted an image of his bad side.  I should note this is very spoilery:

Am not looking at your spoilery photo. I would like to be somewhat surprised going in :)

I've seen so many pictures of what it's supposed to be like at this point, that's actually pretty tame by comparison.  From what they've been saying I doubt that's the real (or the complete) effect.

Edit:  On second look, bit more ghastly than the first glance I took, but that looks like just the "physical" part of the makeup/CG melding they were talking about.

Looks pretty decent to me.  If that's not the full effect then I look forward to it.

Chris Nolan sure is a master at making attractive characters look so ugly that you don't want to watch them. I'm sure there must be a name for that disorder. Shouldn'tbeallowedtodirecteveragainitis?

From what I've read it's an early concept. They are saying that it's real, but it's not exactly what the onscreen / finished effect looks like.

Freddy Krueger, Darkman, The Mummy, Darth Vader... Phantom of the Opera... Vanilla Sky... that one episode of Monk... there's just no reason for them to screw this up.

Well no one reason anyway....
