Aaron Eckhart thinks 'The Dark Knight' is a movie which is "very relevant" in today's society.The actor - who plays Harvey Dent/Harvey Two-Face in the latest movie in the 'Batman' franchise - thinks the script raises a lot of issues which are present in the world, including the war against terrorism.He said: "This script, whether the director Christopher Nolan intended it or not, is very relevant for today. There's a lot of questions and there's a few answers. I guess it's a personal thing whether one believes they're right or wrong but I believe a lot of what's going on today is in that script. "I grew up with 'Batman', the original series with Adam West. We used to watch it every day after school. To think of what Batman was then and what Batman is today."Christian Bale, who plays the title character Bruce Wayne/Batman in the movie, agreed with Aaron's comments and added: "The analogy of the war on terror is absolutely one that I read into the script immediately."
