He’s going from “Supernatural” to the world of Batman.

Misha Collins, best known for starring as the angel Castiel on “Supernatural,” plays Harvey Dent on the new CW show, “Gotham Knights.”

Collins has seen the past portrayal of Harvey Dent onscreen, and he said he prefers Aaron Eckhart’s version from “The Dark Knight” to Tommy Lee Jones in the 1995 movie “Batman Forever.”

“I love Tommy Lee Jones as an actor, I go back and watch his performance in ‘The Fugitive’ often. And at the same time, I thought his Two Face was clownish buffoonery that made no sense. Someday, I’ll meet this acting legend and he’ll spit on my face for having said that.”

But, even though he wasn’t a fan of that version of the character, Collins did share something in common with him.

“When we were doing the mask for Two-Face, I have a contact lens in my eye, because the eye itself is damaged and looks messed up. And the woman who is an optometrist who did all the measurements for the lens was like, ‘You know, funny coincidence – I also did Tommy Lee Jones’ eye for his Two-Face, years ago!’”
