The Dark Knight Rises

[Kalyx triaD]

You just wanna see that badass suit.

[DaveBrawl]

Is that so wrong?

[Kalyx triaD]

No.

He served brutal 90's justice.

[DaveBrawl]

That is a thing of beauty.

[Fignuts]

That is a thing of gayness.

[DaveBrawl]

Well apparently I need to reevaluate some things in my life.

[Lock Jaw]

Huzzah for jagged edges and pouches!

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Tom Hardy (Shinzon from Star Trek Nemesis) doesn't seem like the roided up type. They should have picked Batista.

[Kalyx triaD]

lol No

[Calamondin]

Tom Hardy has already played a huge guy. I'm sure he'll fit the part.

[Jeritron]

Nolan has gone on record about how this is "the end" and how they were excited to be able to write this as the finale of their Batman story. Unlike comics, things don't need to be left open.
I think all bets are off, really. I'm not saying I think Batman will flat out die, but I think some variation on Bane breaking The Bat is possible.

[XCaliber]

Glad to see that they decided to include Catwoman but in the same token I'm not so sure I like the casting choice and as for Hardy I thought he'd be suited better for one of the more cerebral villians.

[Jeritron]

Bane is a very cerebral villain. Moreso than most any of them.

[Fignuts]

Yeah, guy flat out deduced Batman's identity on his own. Then manipulated events in gotham to weaken Batman for when he finally did strike.

[Boondock Saint]

lol Jean-Paul Valley. Such a 90s character.

[Blitz]

I loved JPV :'(

[Fignuts]

The character wasn't so bad, it was mainly the costumes. Azreal was alright, but his batman costumes were pretty lousy. The claws? Cool. Everything else? 90's cheese.

[Confused]

Be interesting to see the remaining roles to cast for the movie.

I wouldn't be surprised if Nolan pulls a fly one like he did with Batman Begins and rolls out another villain / plot twist.

[Lock Jaw]

There are still the rumors of Hugo Strange and Talia Al Ghul going about.

[Splaya]

Is it possible that Nolan creates a world where Selina Kyle is strictly her, till she witness Batman getting broke by Bane, and thus she becomes Catwoman to avenge her man, then Bane kills her and Batman gets out of his wheelchair and kills Bane.....LOL I'M NOT EVEN SERIOUS

[Confused]

I think one of the most interesting things, and obviously important parts of this film, is the way in which they redeem Batman after the ending of The Dark Knight.

Will also be very interesting to see how Batman is viewed now by the ordinary citizens of Gotham, the cops, and particularly the villains.

[Fignuts]

I hope they just stick to Bane and Catwoman. Two villains is fine, but when you introduce a third, things get complicated and messy. Spider-man 3 is a perfect example.

[Kalyx triaD]

Batman Begins had three villains, so did Dark Knight.

[Fignuts]

I do not count the mobsters. They are minor characters that were given very little screen time. They're mobsters. That's all you need to know.

Actual super-villains however, need to be fleshed out a little more. Trying to do three at once can be problematic.

[Confused]

Spider-man 3 was atrocious. But it has to be remembered, Sam Raimi had to deal with constant studio interference and it is alleged he was never happy with the script, a rushed production schedule and the choice of Venom as the villain.

Which was a shame, as the first, and particularly the second, Spider-man films were great entertainment.

I don't think Christopher Nolan will suffer that same interference from Warner Brothers.

[Loose Cannon]

Bane, sweet. I was wanting him in

[Hanso Amore]

Bane as a main villian already in the shit with Batman when the film starts would be cool. THen Catwoman comes along, and plays the tweener. In the end, Bane loses, and Catwoman seems to be a hero, only to disappear or pull some shit to go back to a wild card, that would be cool.

[Fox]

Batman should gets brutally beaten by Bane, and then Joseph Gordon-Levitt (who is rumored to be in the film as well) comes in as the new Batman to kill Bane and take up the mantle of Batman while Bruce is in a wheelchair.

The film would end with everyone from the police to the gangsters to the villains all believing that Batman is unkillable, undestroyable, and that he will always stand as a mark for those fighting for good in Gotham City.

[Blitz]

Awful idea, Fox.

[Jura]

WHERE'S RACHEL?!

[Fignuts]

hmmmmm

Wouldn't be against Bane "breaking" Batman. Maybe Bane does that and takes over Gotham for a few months and puts the city through absolute hell. Then Batman comes back and defeats him, and that's how he is redeemed.

Would not want someone taking over as batman. I think a better idea would be a flashback to his league of assassins days, where they show him secret healing techniques that allow him to heal faster. Nothing mystical mind you. Ah hell, I'm just looking for an excuse for a Liam Neeson cameo.

[Fignuts]

oooooooooo what if Ras escaped the explosion at the last second, and now Bane is his new protege. I could dig that. You wouldn't need to spend any time developing Ras, since everyone already knows who he is and what he is about. So having that extra villain wouldn't hurt the film.

[Kalyx triaD]

LAZARUS PIT

[Fignuts]

Literally having the lazarus pit would be too out there for this series I think. Maybe if they called those previously mentioned healing methods the "Lazarus Techniques". That would be a nice little nod. And Ras uses those same techniques to recover, since he couldn't escape that collision without fucking himself up in some way.

[Fignuts]

Actually really liking my Ras idea. He uses Bane to finally beat batman, and destroy gotham. In the end Batman takes back the city and clears his name. Everything comes full circle.

[dronepool]

notice how he's being chased by the cops.... just like how dark knight ended?

[Fignuts]

K, so Heyman dogged me to spit out my idea in detail so I might as well post it here too.

Alright, so Batman Begins nailed Ras Ahl Gul pretty much on the head. Only difference is that in the comics, Ras is thousands of years old, and uses this thing called the lazarus pit to restore his youth.

Now don't pull away from me here, I'm not suggesting they use that. But what if Ras escaped that collision from the first film. There are a few seconds between when we see ras, and when the train hits, and he IS the master and tutor of a secret group of assassins, so it's plausible. Seeing that it is still realistic, he would have to get pretty fucked up, even if he did survive. This is where "lazarus pit" comes in.

So in the first one, it is established that the league of assassins isn't some little group, but a global organization that has manipulated history for hundreds of years. It wouldn't be farfetched if they had medical techniques more advanced than the modern world's. They could call them the "lazarus techniques" as a nod to the source material.

So Ras heals from otherwise life dibilatating injuries, and takes Bane on as his new protege. (In the comics Ras took Bane on as his heir, after repeated failed attempts to get Batman to do so.) Together they defeat Batman, and Bane breaks his back, just like he did in the comics. Then Ras decides to bury him alive instead of killing him. As a bonus, he could even say "I won't kill you, but I don't have to save you." (just thought of that now, btw. fuck I'm brilliant.) Alfred could come save him after they leave. Maybe he tailed them or something. He was a British SAS before he retired, so it's not as unrealistic as it sounds. Catwoman saving him would probably serve the plot better, actually.

Anyway, the next couple of months Bane and Ras aid the criminal element in overruning Gotham. Thus, Ras' failed goal from Batman Begins of setting Gotham on the path to destroying itself, comes to fruition.

Meanwhile, Batman, having trained under the league of assassins, and having the resources that he does, has been using his knowledge of the lazarus medical techniques to heal. Eventually he does, and fights the forces of Ras' and Bane.

Finally he fights them, maybe with the aid of catwoman, in public view, with the whole city watching. So Batman takes down these villains who have been turning their city into hell the last few months and everyone see's it, thereby redeeming himself in the eyes of the gotham people, and also re-establishing his myth, since as far as they know, he came back from the dead.

Everything comes full circle.

And in the last shot, Arnold Shwarzenager as Mr. Freeze pops in the corner and makes an ice pun.

[Fignuts]

Obviously more catwoman stuff inbetween everything. this is only about what I would do with the main plot.

[RoXer]

Are you going to nerdrage when you go to the movies and find out the plot was nothing like how you imagined?

Please don't.

[Kalyx triaD]

My Batman 3 is better. *sniff*

[Fignuts]

Are you going to nerdrage when you go to the movies and find out the plot was nothing like how you imagined?

Please don't.

Nah, it's just an idea, not "how it should be".

[Hanso Amore]

I think "Oh I remember now that I have secret healing" is a little bit shit. Deus Ex Machina and shit.

[Hanso Amore]

Nah, it's just an idea, not "how it should be if we wanted total shit".

[Hanso Amore]

I would like to see a little role reversal actually.

The City sees Batman as a villian after the end of TDK

What if Bane is like a vigilante Hero, chasing down and trying to destroy Batman, not knowing the truth. The City hails Bane as a hero and support him in his pursuit of Batman. Like we know the truth but flip the shit on its side.

[Fignuts]

Yeah, that's MUCH better. Well done.

[Calamondin]

I like the idea of the Ras/Bane team. Ras has shown himself capable of surviving things he shouldn't in Batman Begins, so I honestly don't think it's THAT huge of a stretch to have him survive the train wreck. You wouldn't need the lazarus pit at all.

[Fignuts]

Yeah, only reason I would use it for ras, is so when batman uses it, it's not out of nowhere.

[Lock Jaw]

I hated the whole "I won't kill you, but I don't have to save you" thing. It's just.... why didn't he just tell that to The Joker in the second movie then? The whole big deal was made about him not being able to let Joker die, and having to save him. While I'm just thinking "Ok, he let plenty of people die in the first movie"

Way to save it is perhaps he knew that Ra's would get out of the train in time because of his ninja skills, but at the same time he knew that his plans were foiled anyways, so he let him go (since if he was in custody he could reveal Bruce's secrets).

[Kalyx triaD]

The train was Ras' doing, and as a trained ninja master type Batman left him to his consequences - and it would seem Ras accepted the defeat.

Joker's a mad man/possible genius who would have died precisely by Batman's hand at that construction site. Not to mention Joker had that in mind as a posthumous 'I told you so' to Batman should he kill the Joker. Batman knew this and that may helped him stay on point.

[XL]

Are we completely writing off a Two Face return?

[Kalyx triaD]

Yes. He's dead.

[XL]

Or is he? :shifty:

[Kalyx triaD]

Yes.

[Hanso Amore]

I really wish they would have left Two face in TDK at the point where he started killling, then he could be the main villian in part 3. I think they did such a great job of creating the character only to die 15 minutes later.

Imagine a full Two Face Sequel, with Batman having to live with the guilt of that chick dying and Two Faces turn.

[Lock Jaw]

Zombie Rachel is a big possibility though. :shifty:

[Kalyx triaD]

LAZARUS PIT

[Jeritron]

I hope they just stick to Bane and Catwoman. Two villains is fine, but when you introduce a third, things get complicated and messy. Spider-man 3 is a perfect example.

I agree with this, but there's also the mob and corrupt cops. The other two Nolan films were written in such a way that there were also multiple side-villains.
This is where I think there could still be room for Black Mask. Somebody's gotta replace Maroni, just like he replaced Falcone.
Going with a complex character like Black Mask might not be what they want to do though. They might just go for another pure gangster family leader.
I really had a feeling they were going to use Black Mask for that reason though. But if it would be too much I wouldn't want it

And then there's corrupt officials too, like the police. The Hugo Strange or Harvey Bullock character rumors could still hold water. They'd be much more minor though, but still possible.
Sort of in the mold of The Chechen, Wertz, and assorted characters in the others.

I really can't believe they're doing Bane. I can't wait.

[Fignuts]

Yeah, but like I said earlier, when I say only 2 villains, I mean actual major villains. Not some random mob guys that don't need to be fleshed out at all.

[Sixx]

Wonder how Batman's voice will change, if at all.

It was amusing in the first part and ridiculous in the second one.

[The Destroyer]

It'll probably be so deep as to be outside the range of human hearing.

[Shisen Kopf]

They need to add Robin, Bat Girl and add Bat Hound. That would be sweet

[Kalyx triaD]

Actually Ace would be a nice addition. Nothing heavy, just have a dog at the manor.

[Jeritron]

I think the Batman voice was a bit over-spoofed. It was definitely over the top, but I don't think it was as much of a distraction as some people have made it out to be. I guess it's just become a funny meme or something.

I doubt they'll make some official decision to make Bale change it. It will probably be left up to him. Maybe it depends on how he has taken any criticism and if he feels like responding.

It was the biggest complaint about the last one from just about everyone, so they were in pretty good shape.
If the pitch of his voice is the biggest problem with this movie again, I will be thrilled.

[Fox]

I can't wait to see the new Batmobile. If it's the same old Tumbler I'm going to be pretty disappointed. The tumbler was great for the first movie, the Batpod was a huge advancement for the second one, and the third has to be even more bad ass.

It's a cynical age. People just like to find something to mock about everything, and then it goes viral. Most people probably don't even care/notice but it becomes a trend thing

WHERE'S RACHAEL!?

[Lock Jaw]

He definitely lays it on more than he did in Batman Begins, but I have no issue with it.

[Confused]

Bale's voice was manipulated in post-production by Christopher Nolan and the sound editor.

I didn't have a particular problem with it, it didn't really affect my enjoyment of the movie.

Some interesting stuff!

She Looks Phenomenal In The Wardrobe” – Wally Pfister On Anne Hathaway As Catwoman
Submitted by Brendon Connelly on January 31, 2011 – 12:30 pm (0) comments
Kevin McCarthy of Washington DC’s Kevin and Josh Movie Show this week had a good long chat with Wally Pfister, Chris Nolan’s regular cinematographer, and I was lucky enough to be invited to join in and ask a few questions of my own.

You may have taken part in the protest yourself, but in case you missed it, there was a lot of disappointment last week after Chris Nolan failed to receive a best director nomination from the Academy. Of course, Pfister and McCarthy shared in those feelings of confusion and dismay, and that’s where this conversation starts, before going on to discuss several Inception talking points, and the current state of play with The Dark Knight Rises.

I think you may enjoy listening to their whole chat. Both hours of McCarthy’s show are now online, and the Pfister interview rounds out Part One (from 45:55 or so ), and starts up Part Two.

It’s in Part Two that I join in and talk quickly turns to the new Batmovie. Pfister answers several questions, and makes it clear that he’s deep in prep, has read the screenplay. “As much as possible” will be filmed in IMAX, he promises, and he also makes specific reference the opening sequence being something impressive, something that could live up to, if not surpass, the spectacle of the last film.

When asking questions I asked, first of all, about Pfister’s approach to shooting for IMAX and Cinemascope at once, and his answer is well worth listening to in full. Later, I chipped in about the “Robin Williams as Hugo Strange” rumour, but Pfister hadn’t even heard the story. He did admit, however, that a lot is kept secret from him and:

They could turn around and surprise me too. It’s happened before. When I turned around and saw that list of girls that we were going to be screen testing before they cast Anne… I didn’t know myself who was real and who wasn’t until about two days before the tests when Emma told me.

Talking of the screentests, Kevin asked:

So, Wally you shot Anne’s screen test for Catwoman?

To which he replied in the affirmative. That’s a yes to Kevin saying “Catwoman”, not “Selina Kyle”. Hmmm.

Pfister added, a little later:

She looks phenomenal in the wardrobe.

I couldn’t let that lie. Later, I came back to it and asked if this meant what it seems to mean:

Brendon, I’d get fired and I wouldn’t even get to shoot the picture… I can’t really say, but I definitely want to be around next year…

Any doubt that Ms. Hathaway will be suiting up still remaining? I don’t think so.

Or maybe he’s just played us all. It’s a possibility.

Pfister was a most genial guest, and I’d recommend you check out the full 35 minutes or so of conversation. Thanks to Kevin for letting me join in, and for sending the audio over to share with you.

[Kalyx triaD]

He played it safe. I hear Bale's kinda hard on photographers...

[Nightwing]

Everyone I know bitched about Bales voice. I notice it sometimes, but I dont get my under garments in a jumble over it.

[Blitz]

http://www.aintitcool.com/node/48312

Deadline Hollywood reports that another star of Christopher Nolan’s “Inception” is negotiating to join Nolan’s “The Dark Knight Rises.”

Since fellow “Inception” star Tom Hardy is set to play Bane, it makes some sense that Joseph Gordon-Levitt is perhaps being earmarked for the role of deranged Batman stalker/wannabe Hugo Strange, a character long rumored to be a part of Nolan’s third Batman film.

Gordon-Levitt does sort of resemble a darker version of fellow former child actor Christian Bale, does he not?

Since this is likely Nolan’s final look at the life of Bruce Wayne, the writer-director may feel compelled to load up an extra dose of scum and villainy?

Anne Hathaway was earlier announced as Catwoman’s alter ego, Selina Kyle.

asdfghjkl;'\ if true. Joe Levitt is the about the only thing that could make me wanna see this movie more.

[Sixx]

I'm watching The Dark Knight again. And once you notice that voice, it really is ridiculous. First time I've seen the movie, I haven't noticed at all, but probably because I was drunk. Second time, I giggled a bit. Now it's just hilarious.

[JimmyMess]

So will Christopher Walken throw Anne Hathaway out of a window in this one...

I'm betting no... I just want to see Christopher Walken throw someone out of a window

[Savio]

Bale's voice was manipulated in post-production by Christopher Nolan and the sound editor.

I didn't have a particular problem with it, it didn't really affect my enjoyment of the movie.
They should have made it auto-tune

[Sixx]

Christopher Walken is in this?

What are you talking about?

[Kalyx triaD]

Read the second line.

[Sixx]

I did. Still, doesn't make sense.

[Kalyx triaD]

Then you're kinda dense.

He was in Batman Returns, in which he pushed Selina Kyle out of a window.

Oh. Didn't even remember that.

[Tommy Gunn]

Rifftrax do a pretty good job of pointing out how unnecessary the Bat-voice is, lol.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kO27JYD9Pj0

[Blitz]

French newspaper is reporting that Marion Cotillard will be joining the cast. Rumour swirling that she'll be Talia Al Ghul.

This is turning into a jampacked cast.

[Fignuts]

Hopefully not too jampacked.

[Blitz]

That's what I'm becoming afraid of. Bane, Selina Kyle, possibly Hugo Strange (also rumours of Levitt possibly playing Alberto Falcone), Talia Al Ghul. I guess potentially, you could put Bane and Talia together, have Selina be a sort of anti-hero, and have Strange inciting everyone against Batman. Still, lot of strands either way.

[Confused]

Supposedly they're filming in New York this week. Plate shots or summat of a snowy New York.

The same site that reports that, BatmanOnFilm, also says that the movie will begin filming in India and a major scene will be filmed in October at the New York Stock Exchange.

[DrA]

He probably just told everyone on the set of Inception that they could be in the new Batman movie without knowing what he was going to do with them.

[DrA]

It also seems like he is putting all of these characters into the movie just for the sake of having them as film characters. Quite frankly I would prefer to just have The Riddler instead of a bunch of these minor characters scattered throughout the film, mainly because I really wanted The Riddler to be in this movie.

[Confused]

He probably just told everyone on the set of Inception that they could be in the new Batman movie without knowing what he was going to do with them.

Aye, hands up if you want a part....

I'm assuming Cillian Murphy will also turn up in the new movie.

[Heros Welcome]

I'm not too worried about it to be honest. People are complaining about 3 villians being overkill, usually citing Spiderman 3 as the basis for the argument but when you look at BB and TDK they both had 3 villians in them. Scarecrow, Falcone, and Ras at the end in BB. Joker, Moroni, and Two Face at the end of TDK. This time around its looking like it could be Bane, Falcone, Catwomen at the end. If Catwomen shows up at all, the end could very well be Talia if Cotillard is infact in the movie.

Either way I think Nolan knows what hes doing and I expect him to wrap up this trilogy the right way.

[Damian Rey]

Agree with Heros. I mean, just because you have multiple villians doesn't mean the story is going to suffer. The problem Spider-Man 3 ran into was trying to fit too much into the story.

I think Nolan will pull through. There's no reason to doubt him as he has yet to really disappoint. Not to mention, I'd figure he's a very driven guy, and the idea of being one of few who can pull of not only a sequel, but a 2nd sequel and make it great as a stand alone film, sounds like something he'd want to do.

This has also been his largest and longest tenured project. I don't think he's going to allow it go in the dump.

[Fox]

The problem Spider-Man 3 ran into was forgetting it was a superhero movie and turning it into some kind of obscure romantic comedy (the dance scene ffs) and focusing less on bad ass action sequences and more on crappy scenes of Peter being a goth and Mary Jane whining like a little bitch. Also, casting Topher Grace as Venom was the worst idea ever.

DKR will be awesome. I have complete faith in Christopher Nolan, the studio is going to let him do what he wants to do, and I have yet to see a Nolan movie that didn't blow me away in all aspects.

[Fignuts]

I do not count the mobsters. They are minor characters that were given very little screen time. They're mobsters. That's all you need to know.

Actual super-villains however, need to be fleshed out a little more. Trying to do three at once can be problematic.

[Splaya]

Just make this a three and a half hour movie.

I didn't mind the romantic aspect of Spider-Man 3. I just felt like adding Gwen Stacy for virtually no apparent reason was silly, and Venom should have been saved for the now canned fourth film. There always has to be some conflict to relate to.

Back to TDKR...apparently, some legit plot points have been leaked. Courtesy of badassdigest.com

I just talked to a good source near the Batcamp and have come away with information about The Dark Knight Rises that confirms lots of speculation from recent months. This is, technically, all spoilers. I feel pretty confident that this info is good, but know that Christopher Nolan has gotten very, very skilled at manipulating us nerds and isn’t above throwing out some misinformation from time to time.

Here goes nothing:

As she herself confirmed, Anne Hathaway will be Catwoman in the movie. I can’t tell you what role she has in the beginning, but by the end of the story Catwoman isn’t a villain but rather an ally of Batman. And who are they teaming up to take out?

The League of Shadows.

Headed by Talia Al’Ghul. With Bane, who is her muscle/possible love interest. And with Joseph Gordon-Levitt in tow. Is he playing Black Mask? My source didn’t know, but did know that Levitt is certainly an antagonist and involved with the League of Shadows.

I trust this source quite a bit, but again remember that there are rumors being fed out by the Batcamp that are purposefully untrue. And that there are people within the camp who have partial information – including my source here, who only knows some things and can only guess at others.



If this does indeed prove true, it'd be a nice way to wrap up the series full circle.

[mhirn3]

Apparently Pittsburgh is rumored to replace Chicago now? wtf?

Man I can't wait for this. Dark Knight is my ALL TIME favorite movie, and I can't wait to see what Nolan and crew have in store for the trilogy finale.

[Damian Rey]

Man I can't wait for this. Dark Knight is my ALL TIME favorite movie, and I can't wait to see what Nolan and crew have in store for the trilogy finale.

It might be that they felt they've done all they can with Chicago, visually and that moving locales and filming in a different city would help benefit in keeping the backdrop refreshing.

[Jeritron]

I love Chicago as Gotham, as it has a distinct feel to it that fits the idea. Batman is noir, and Chicago is perfect for that.
Of all cities, I feel as though Chicago is the closest to Gotham in every way, along with strong elements from New York as well (and obviously it's status as the country's "#1" city.)

But I also like the idea of the film depiction of Gotham not committing to one city so comfortably, primarily for the reason of adding to the visual diversity.
I love how we see different parts of the city in Begins and TDK (although a lot of Begins was in Chicago as well.)
If they end up going with Chicago fully again, I'll be happy, but at the same time bringing in Pittsburgh would be very cool.
They could find some really interesting locales. I fully expect them to explore new parts of Gotham and different looks.
Pittsburgh is a pretty old, industrial city so I'm sure it has a lot to offer. It's not like they go and blatantly use the skyline or anything, so Gotham will still be Gotham.

I'd love to see them find some old gothic looking churches or buildings. That's one thing there hasn't been a lot of in the Nolan films.
I don't want it over the top like the Burton ones, since these are just a different type of film, but a little of that might be cool in a scene or two. If it fits.

[Damian Rey]

I love Chicago as Gotham, as it has a distinct feel to it that fits the idea. Batman is noir, and Chicago is perfect for that.
Of all cities, I feel as though Chicago is the closest to Gotham in every way, along with strong elements from New York as well (and obviously it's status as the country's "#1" city.)

I completely agree and I welcome the use of a new city. Chicago was a great backdrop in the first two films, but I'm sure Pitts. will do a fine job for scenery. And like you said, there are some areas that could be put to good use, and I think keeping things fresh and adding different areas from different cities is a positive.

[mhirn3]

It might be that they felt they've done all they can with Chicago, visually and that moving locales and filming in a different city would help benefit in keeping the backdrop refreshing.

Yeah I guess you're right, I'm just partial to Chicago as Gotham as I love Chicago and think it's one of the best cities in the US, and was living there when they filmed Batman Begins.

[Swiss Ultimate]

No Bane...

NOOOOO BANE!!!

[Blitz]

Variety apparently confirms (http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118034129) Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Alberto Falcone. They're also saying that Juno Temple is being pursued for the role of a "street smart Gotham girl". I know they've said no Robin in these movies, but Stephanie Brown, anyone?

[Jeritron]

I like Robin as a character (even though I far prefer Batman alone), but I'm torn on him being involved in a Nolan movie. Especially this one, which already has enough going on with Catwoman, Bane, supporting villians, and who knows what else on top of existing characters.

I'd be open to Robin in another film, but this is the finale of Nolan and Bale's run. Perhaps they will try to continue the same continuity with a new director.

And if Robin is included, I don't know how I'd feel about the female incarnation. It was great in Dark Knight Returns, but on the whole I think the character should be Dick Grayson if anything.

[Blitz]

I'm not necessarily saying that if she were playing Stephanie Brown, she'd be Robin. In fact I'm almost sure she wouldn't be. But she could always be the Spoiler, or just the character of Stephanie Brown.

[Jeritron]

True

[Ermaximus]

So Joseph Gordon-Levitt is going to play The Holiday Killer, Tom Hardy is going to play Bane, and Anne Hathaway is Catwoman. I'd say Batman is a bit outnumbered this time.

[Lock Jaw]

Alberto Falcone doesn't necessarily need to be Holiday in the movie.

[Jeritron]

Yea they are obviously going to have somebody taking over the mob in the film now that Maroni is dead.
It's just something in the backdrop of the movie that is likely going to be there again, so Alberto Falcone is a good choice.

I almost doubt they'll do the holiday killer thing, unless it's a sub-plot. I wouldn't expect it to be any bigger of a character than Falcone, Maroni, Lao, etc.

[Lock Jaw]

Maroni could still be alive. Maybe.

[Ermaximus]

I just don't see the need for 3 villians really. 2 worked out good in The Dark Knight, but I like 3 may be over doing it just a bit.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Well isn't Selina Kyle going to be more on Batmans side in this? I thought I read that somewhere.

[Damian Rey]

Catwoman is rumored to be an ally of sorts by film's end, so she's not really a villian, per se. We also do not know to what extent Bane will used, so if Falcone is a character, the film could be doing the "mob hires a hitman" type story arc, which is what the Joker was in TDK.

The Holiday Killer is also kind of useless, seeing as he was used to help build up the Two Face character in the graphic novel. Him being the Holliday Killer would just give Batman something to do, but I'd rather he just take the place of Carmine and Maroni.

Also, Marion Cotillard has yet to be "officially" added to the cast via Nolan/WB confirmation. There's rumors she may play Thalia, so that may tie into using Falconi to infiltrate Gotham, much like Ra's did in Begins.

We shall see. Filming kicks off in May, so late March and all of April is going to be an exciting time.

[Blitz]

I feel like the major villain will end up being Talia Al Ghul, with Bane and Alberto as subordinates. Catwoman will likely be neutral leaning towards Bats' side.

[Jeritron]

I was thinking Black Mask would get used. He would be great as a mob boss, and feels like a natural fit in Nolan's world.

But I trust Nolan's judgement over mine. I think with Bane and Catwoman and maybe a Scarecrow cameo, another masked character might be a bit much.
Plus he's another heavy duty character with a presence.
So I'm actually feeling Alberto.

The absence of Riddler and Black Mask actually make me wish Nolan had one more movie in him before he wrapped up his series, but such is life. I thought they, along with Catwoman, were virtually locks for the 3rd film.
But that's because I never in a million years thought they would have gone for Bane, which I'm thrilled about.

I'd much prefer they end it properly and where they feel it should, rather than strive to fit everyone I want in.

I wouldn't be surpised if they used Riddler, Black Mask and Robin straight away in the inevitable 4th movie, whether it's a continuation or reboot. I can't see them flat out rebooting again so soon, with how well liked Nolan's movies are. But at the same time I can't see them just saying "let's not make Batman movies for another 15 years."
Too much money to be made. I have a feeling they may try to do the same thing as Batman Forever. Not make it like the 60s tv show, but "reboot" with a new director and Batman, while staying in continuity.
I guess that will all depend on how Nolan "ends it" though.

[Blitz]

Actually just read a story on Entertainment Weekly that Levitt is in, but he's not Alberto Falcone. Dunno what to believe.

[Lock Jaw]

Probably gonna be Kite Man. Yeah. Definitely Kite Man.

Maybe Crazy Quilt.

[Damian Rey]

Read on Batman On Film's Facebook page that Warner Bros. execs are planning on giving it a few years before bringing in a new director and rebooting the Batman franchise again once Nolan delivers his 3rd and final installment.

Not sure how I feel about this yet...

[Kalyx triaD]

What's to feel? Seems standard practice these days. Three movies and give it a rest for a bit.

[dronepool]

It's inevitable, if it sucks, just ignore it. Nolan made his mark (with 3 movies).

[Nightwing]

I wanna see them take a more comic approach to it anyways, cause its a comic, and not real. Nolans approach isnt bad but theres so much more that can be done that he wont do because its not "realistic".

[Kalyx triaD]

I want the next production team to be more open to Robin and the rest of the Gotham Knights, as well as crossovers. I love Nolan's take but yeah, it is a comic book universe. The exclusive universe angle is the one thing I heavily disagree with Nolan about.

[dronepool]

They should def boost up the sci-fi elements by at least 30%.... or whatever works. If they could make a Batman movie look like the Matrix and work... go for it.

[Kalyx triaD]

Maybe not the Matrix but certainly more of Bruce's hi-tech and comic book-y nature. Plus Robin.

[parkmania]

If you want it more Sci-Fi, how would you feel about them using Batman Beyond? And do you think Joe McAverage would go see a Batman movie with Bruce Wayne NOT in the Batsuit?

[Kalyx triaD]

More sci-fi elements doesn't mean balls out future setting, you're getting extreme here. There's a lot of ground between Nolan-Batman and Batman Beyond.

And actually yeah, I'd wager people would dig Terry McGuiness in his own movie. Take the season two tone with the high school life, cast a modern teen idol as Terry, go for some stunt casting for an elderly Bruce (Keaton), and go for stylish instead of mystery. You give the kids too much credit thinking they'd have a problem with a non-Bruce batman, and you also underestimate how much people actually liked Beyond. lol

But I digress; we can have it more comic-book like without going to the future.

[DaveBrawl]

As much as I've loved these last Batman movies, I don't know if I could go back to the comic/syfy style movies. :lol:

It's wierd though, I have always despised Robin as a character (no matter who was in the suit) I never have liked the idea of Batman needing a sidekick. I understand it, but I have never really liked it. Lately though I've been digging Nightwing/Grayson. If they are going to change up the style of the Batman movies, I think it would be cool if they continued this universe on with Nightwing even if Nolan and the Batman character don't have any contribution. Just have him as someone that was inspired by the idea Bruce layed down and could actually stand a chance against the villans, unlike those clowns in DK, and go from there just in another city.

I have really enjoyed this gritty, realistic style and even if it doesn't have Batman as long as it has some ties to the character it could be successful and entertaining.

[Blitz]

The Hollywood Reporter (http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/social-network-actor-lands-role-176577) says that Josh Pence has been cast. Wouldn't click on the article if you don't want a spoiler. Provided this is true, of course.

[Damian Rey]

It s inevitable that Robin pops up in the next series of Bat films. They need to do it properly though. Have Batman becoming more and more viscous, and beginning to lose his humanity, only to find himself grounded once more with the arrival of Robin, would be an interest take on his psychology. I'm fairly certain that's how Tim Drake's Robin came about.

News:

After much speculation and some initial confusion, Marion Cotillard and Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s Roles in 2012 Batman threequel The Dark Knight Rises are public knowledge thanks to official word from Warner Bros., as reported on Deadline and the other usual sources.

Cotillard is playing Miranda Tate, described in the press release as “a Wayne Enterprises board member eager to help a still-grieving Bruce Wayne resume his father’s philanthropic endeavors for Gotham.” Gordon-Levitt is John Blake, “a Gotham City beat cop assigned to special duty under the command of Commissioner Gordon.” Both characters appear to be original to the movie, and not adapted from the comic books. Last month, reports circulated that Gordon-Levitt would be playing mobster offspring Alberto Falcone, from Batman: The Long Halloween.

[Damian Rey]

News:

I think the Cotillard role is a ruse, seeing as who Josh Pence was casted as, but we shall see.

Pretty sure it's not their intention to make the poster reflect Pittsburgh, or Chicago, since it's Gotham City.

Either way, it's not real, but it's okay. The helicopters is a nice touch. The whole thing just seems a bit messy and unbalanced.

The "dirty clouds" are the result of bad HDR imaging. Not what an actual movie poster should have. Fake, but still pretty cool.

In other news, Matthew Modine, Tom Conti, and Joey King have joined the cast, all in undisclosed roles.

[Kalyx triaD]

a) Looks fake. Too revealing. And the suit doesn't match the style of Nolan's production team.

I don't know. Hard to make anything out of that screenshot. Hopefully we get some answers sooner than later.

And I don't know if it's too early for a teaser. They have been filming since early May, and may have enough footage to put together a quick little teaser before releasing an official trailer sometime at the end of the year.

Personally, I can hold off on teasers and trailers. I just want to see the costume designs and new vehicles. I'm hoping WB releases some official images soon rather than having to discover new costumes via crappy cell phone leaks.

I'm sure they could release a teaser of something. I just don't get real excited for those.

This Batman stuff is going to get out of hand next year I see?

Actually, aside from Batwing (wtf), it's a bit streamlined. One Batman, one robin (so far), Batgirl, Nightwing, Batwoman. Not that different from before the reboot in terms of lineup.

Made more sense when Batgirl was a teenager. But now that is gone. Unless they retcon Barbara Gordon into being a teen again.

It’s Not the Batmobile, But…
Share|Here’s a Look at Bruce’s New Lamborghini
Published: 06/29/2011 11:32am

Remember how in The Dark Knight Bruce Wayne had to sacrifice his Lamborghini to save Mr. Reese? Well as one might expect, the millionaire playboy was well insured and in The Dark Knight Rises he is sporting a new “Lambo.” Batman-News has some shots of Batman’s alter ego’s new ride and it’s a pip, a 2012 Lamborghini Aventador that was photographed outside of Wollaton Hall, which is standing in for stately Wayne Manor in the new film.

While there are some reports around that The Dark Knight Rises helmer Christopher Nolan wanted to get the car in black, but could only get silver, that hardly seems likely. Given the budget of The Dark Knight Rises, a re-paint for the car would be insignificant, far less than the budget for watercress sandwiches at tea time.

Think there's something to that weird chant? Seems like a League of Shadows thing.

My brother thinks it might be some sort of ritual chant. Maybe as a way of christening Bane or something. I'm extremely interested in where they're going with the story. The teaser gave nothing away but it has built up so much excitement for me.

Definetly a better teaser than TDK's was but that doesn't mean squat.

Haha so pessimistic. Originally, I felt like Nolan might tighten up the scope of the story to bring it full circle, but with all the spoilers floating around, and the many different filming locations, not to mention what we saw in the teaser, I have a feeling he's going to go out with a huge bang.

It figures - the weekend I'm going to be in Indianapolis for a convention they're shooting a football game at Heinz Field.

I'd really like to see this trailer before someone takes it down again.
