Batman Begins director Christopher Nolan has revealed even more details about The Dark Knight while speaking in front of a sold out crowd at the historic Eqyptian Theatre in Hollywood on Monday night.

"I haven't finished the script yet. I'm supposed to be doing it right now," Nolan admitted. "It does, absolutely. It's a pretty direct continuation of where the last film left off, and the last scene of Batman Begins suggests a strong direction we wanted to take the story in. It absolutely carries on with a lot of the thematic concerns and hopefully takes it someplace new."

When asked if District Attorney Harvey Dent aka Two-Face would be featured in the film, Nolan admitted that he is, but wouldn't go into specifics.

The director later revealed to IGN that the role has yet to be cast. 

In late July, Heath Ledger was cast as The Joker. Returning cast includes: Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne / Batman, Michael Caine as Alfred, Gary Oldman as James Gordon, Morgan Freeman as Lucius Fox.

Production is tentatively scheduled for January 2007. The Dark Knight will hit theaters in June 2008.
