I thought he was good in that role despite it being a disappointing movie.

They were speculating on ANIC that the villain would be a not dead Harvey Dent/Two Face, as "The Dark Knight" title referred as much to Harvey as it did to the Batman according to Nolan.

Catwoman will be in this movie, or at the very least Selena Cole will make an appearance.

I keep thinking for some reason Killer Croc, no idea why.. maybe he wants to make his first realistic meta human..

I also wouldn't be surprised to see a young Dick Grayson get the nod.. not as the Robin or anything but since this is the last Batman movie Nolan will make just setting the table for the story line. More of a cameo than anything..

[FlameOn]

I think Talia Al Ghul would be interesting. Given the movie is Dark Knight Rises, maybe we finally have Bruce finding who he is meant to be with and he can stop being Batman?

Please please no Robin... I keep on getting reminded of Batman & Robin with George Clooney every time. The Dark Knight does not need a sidekick.

Nolan releases film title: The Dark Knight Rises

No Riddler? Rumour is that it's a Female villain. Catwoman or Poison Ivy? Harley Quinn?

Not that I think he will do Catwoman, but if Nolan can right the wrong that was Batman and Robin (I actually like Batman Forever) than he would probably have no problem making Catwoman legitimate

Ah, the rare but also embarassing Rico. For shame.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was Ra's, Talia and a recast Joker.
This is a finale, not a new beginning to the Batman verse.

6 actresses up for 2 unspecified roles in the movie. 1 will be a villain and the other will be a love interest.

Natalie Portman, Keira Knightley, Anne Hathaway, Naomi Watts, Rachel Weisz and Blake Lively.

Portman and Weisz, please.

[Coach]

I think all are great. Dont really know much about Lively other than that shes in Green Lantern so I can't really see her taking a role. Love Watts and Portman though

[Cole436]

Can't go wrong with either of them. Betting cash that if Portman gets the part, it's as Talia Ah Guhl

[alltherage]

Portman would make a wicked Harley Quinn

As far as I'm concerned, the best Batman movies were Batman (1989) and Batman Returns (1992). Period. Christian Bale is a crap Batman.

Do you shake your fist at kids and their loud music too?

[Cecil Terwilliger]

Batman Returns was an awful, awful movie. The only reason worth watching is Michelle Pfeifer in that Catwoman costume.

Oh, and Kevin Smith's daughter should play Harley Quinn...


And I think Hathaway would make a damn sexy Catwoman if they are going that route.

I'm twenty-five years old, I don't think that's appropriate behavior for someone who still has not a single grey hair on his head.

You do not need to be an old fart to appreciate the fact that Michael Keaton was, by far, the best Batman on film to date.

And Cecil, you bite your tongue about Batman Returns.

What I liked about the first two Batman films was the same thing that the next two movies sorely lacked - the Burton aspect. Something about the way Tim Burton does Batman versus the way Joel Schumacher does it made the movies so much better. Forever and B&R were too bright. Forever admittedly was less guilty of this, but B&R was so campy and full of awful and painfully forced one-liners, it completely killed the franchise at that point (Chris O'Donnell who played Robin even admits this).

Begins and TDK... I dunno. Something about Bale as Batman doesn't work for me. Until I - myself - am cast as Batman, there will never be another true Batman.

On the flip side, the only Batman movies I like are the Nolan Batman movies. The first Batman is just good, Batman Returns is "okay", Batman Forever is total garbage, and Batman and Robin might be the worst movie I've ever seen.
