The Dark Knight Rises: July 20, 2012

[Hack&Lube]

I never pay attention to how a review scores a movie too much, I usually disagree and love a lot of poorly rated movies but I pay attention to what the writer says and what that Hollywood Reporter guy says in terms of criticisms makes sense to me. I'm sure it will still be a fun movie.

Has anyone else heard that Johnny Depp was supposed to be playing the Riddler?
I heard that not too long ago and could never find out if it was a random rumour or if there was any substance to it

Nobody has been cast so far aside from the regulars. All that stuff is just rumors like they have had before all the other movies.

It's hard to get people into theatres so everybody wants sequels or event movies because people seem to go for those as they already sort of know what they are going to get.

Best way to increase people going to the theater is to increase quality and lower the friggin cost.

Anyways, all this is a moot point. We all know the world is ending in 2012, so no Batman 3 afterall

No kidding, especially since we're all supposed by dead by December 21 according to Roland Emmerich.

They are also super hyped on being able to tie everything together in the same universe and have crossover movies like they have crossover comics. All the guys who star in the latest Marvel movies have clauses in their contracts which say they have to participate in a crossover where the old ones didn't. Iron-Man, Thor, Captain America, etc. are all going to be in the Avengers movie together.

Civil War is probably not a good idea to make a movie out of. It was bad enough as a comic series. You don't want to make a comic book movie into an overly political movie.

Civil war is why i will never read a Marvel Comic ever again. So stupid and complete crap.

[Kybosh]

Is Roland Emmerich tired of destroying the world yet?

At least the stuff after it was good

Rumours in the comic book world laced together from speculation over Nolan comments since Batman Begins all point to the fact that he would love the chance to include Selina Kyle in the series somehow. I have a feeling that Oswald Cobblepot might make an appearance in this movie. Both of these villains deserve at least a mention, or an apperance, even if it isn't as Catwoman and The Penguin.

But that is purely speculation.

My personal preference would be an apperance from Hush.. somehow wrapped up in Black Mask.

If anyone thought this series couldn't get any darker... give that a go..

I'm not artistic so I don't have the answers but somebody/somewhere does. this old rehashed crap is tiring that's all.

What the movie world needs is new minds like Lucas and Spielburg had in the day, not idiots reading comics for a story!

Michael C. Hall for Riddler....please, please make this happen.

I've been wanting it for 3 years now. Would love to see it happen. He would be perfect. You never know what he's thinking, he can be funny, deranged, sad, tragic all in one scene.

Some of his work in Six Feet Under was amazing. The "That's My Dog" Episode goes into my collection of greatest performances ever. Some great work in Dexter obviously as well.

Please, please make this happen....he would not disappoint.

NO RIDDLER!

This series needs some Clayface action!

[trackercowe]

Man Christopher Nolan is the man.

Memento=Fantastic
Insomnia=Great
Batman Begins=Wonderful
The Prestige=Movie Magic
Dark Knight=Probably the Best Yet
Inception=Will be Amazing I am sure

If there is one director/producer you can count on he is it. I just hope he doesn't let anyone budge in and completely mess up the series like Raimi, and Singer did with their franchises.

I would expect Catwoman/Selina Kyle to be in it in someway. With their being no love interest left over I would expect her to be cast.

I do hope Riddler is in it, as aside from Joker he is my favorite Batman villain.

Not huge into the comics, so I don't know the characters that well. I do believe that the villain or villains will have to be known to the casual Batman fan like myself. They need to market the villains and if that character is not recognizable, people will not see it and Warner Bros. will not approve of it.

I just can't see any obscure Batman villain used in the next installment when there's plenty of more popular options for the masses.

[Bertuzzied]

Fables is the best comic book out there right now. If they ever made it into a movie it will destroy Avatar. Course they would need like 10 movies to tell the whole story.

[Wookie]

Just was looking into all the old batman movies after reading parts of this thread.

Didn't remember Billy Dee Williams from Batman being Harvey Dent. Anyone else?

Yeah, watched the Keaton Batman a few years ago and was like, "WHAATTT????? How did I miss that??"

Really? Haha, that's awesome, I figured I'd watch it when I get home from Vacation. How was it?
Edit: I didn't know Harvey Dent had any significance until the Dark Knight movie.

I'm not a big batman or comic book fan. Just was reading the thread as I enjoyed the first one and the most recent two (first one implying the Keaton/Nicholson one).

Clayface isn't obscure. Obscure would be Firebug, Clock King, or the Ventriloquist.

Hey, hey guys. Maybe we could get Johnny Depp to play the Mad Hatter?!
