Details of Harvey Dent centric trailer for THE DARK KNIGHT

"You either die a hero or you live long enough to become the villain".

The delayed second trailer for The Dark Knight which focuses more on Harvey Dent and The Joker's rise to being the mob boss in Gotham has played at the NY Comic Con.

It's expected the trailer will be available for us in a few weeks time, probably the end result of another viral marketing scarvanger hunt. Here's the scoop from a reader of AICN who saw it with his own eyes...
This trailer is more plot-driven, depicting the Joker's rise to power (Joker to mob bosses: It's simple: kill the Batman.) and Bruce's struggle with Rachel dating Harvey. There's an extended sequence of Joker meeting Rachel (the one in the second trailer - "A little fight in ya. I like that!"); he coyly fixes his hair and mentions how beautiful she looks. There are heavy shots of Harvey Dent promising that the dawn is coming and he delivers a terrific line to Bruce: You either die a hero or you live long enough to become the villain. Further foreshadowing his turn as Two-Face, half of Harvey's face is held to what looks like a gasoline-soaked floor. There was thunderous applause, arguably the best of the night (next to Battlestar Galactica and Guillermo del Toro with the Hellboy cast). He said that it'll be released in a couple weeks, possibly attached to Speed Racer, but he vaguely mentioned that we'd need to hunt it down. Another viral marketing scheme?
How true is that Harvey Dent line both in life and ESPECIALLY in comic books?
