Michael Caine Talks DARK KNIGHT Sequel Status & Casting (Or Lack Thereof...)
Merrick here...
MTV sat down with Michael Caine for a discussion which turned towards casting rumors swirling around the next BATMAN movie - even though David Goyer tried valiantly (and somewhat unsuccessfully) to dismiss similar misinformation A WHILE BACK.
Caine specifically addressed persistent rumors that Johnny Depp and Philip Seymour Hoffman were being considered for roles in the movie.
There is nobody, there's no script, there's nothing," Caine told MTV News of the status of the next "Batman" movie. "It can't possibly be made before 2011 because 'Inception' is such a big picture."
[EDIT]
"Johnny Depp is great in anything, but there is no Johnny Depp in this Batman," he smiled. "They tell me in no uncertain terms."
...says Caine to MTV HERE.
Here's an embed of the same:
Although I can't locate the exact link/quote at the moment, The Powers That Be on this project (I think it was Goyer specifically) have already expressed interest/belief that the third movie should involve lesser-known villains/antagonists from BATMAN's vast mythology. No word on if this is still the way they're thinking.
Anyone out there playing BATMAN: ARKHAM ASYLUM
? I'm loving it...

I refuse to say ''FIRST!!!'' even if i am ''FIRST!!!"
by ZOMBIE_FRANK_BOOTH
Being FIRST has not improved my mood. Life is still shit. And so is BATMAN. When are we gonna see a DEATH'S HEAD movie? He is kickassious bounty hunter this side of Unicrons severed head. True Transformers fans need only reply. EAT SHIT AND DIE BAYFORMERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DEATHS HEAD MOVIE NOW!!!!!!!!!!!! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death's_Head

I think it would be a refreshing change of pace to feature lesser-known villains than just the usual suspects of The Riddler, The Penguin, Catwoman, and Mr. Freeze. everyone knew they'd have to involve The Joker at some point because he's the ying to Batman's yang. but now that we got the biggest of the Big Bad outta the way, let's give character like Black Mask a time to shine. hell, they've already introduced Mr. Zsasz in Batman Begins. perhaps he can turn up again in the next one?
-
with Kate Beckinsale and MaCaulay Culkin cast respectively.
-
Played it. Beat it. Fucking loved it.
-
Give us The Reaper, Nolan, please. Look how great Mask of the Phantasm turned out! And why use Rachel if you aren't going to extend on the usage?
-
Seriously. Didn't anyone else pick up on how the ending of DARK KNIGHT seemed a bit rushed with The Joker? It's because they shot footage of The Joker and Batman talking at the asylum. This footage, meant to end the film, will now be used as the intro to part 3--and it will give us a nice end to The Joker...which I felt we never got.
-
Does anyone else find that odd? Like is the MTV demo looking for more Micheal Caine?
-
Great game!
-
I kind of got the impression that his credit on Dark Knight was more of a ripple effect from his involvement in Begins. Didn't think he'd be on board at all the third time around. I've always liked the Talia Al Ghul idea though.
-
"Lack thereof"
-
So a story about how there is nothing to report on a Batman movie not being made by one of its costars that is not cast in a movie with no script and no plans to be made by a director who is making another movie. Great story.
-
Won't Batman be on the run in part 3? How can the film start with Batman sitting in Arkham talking to Joker?
-
THE MAD HATTER. Talk about Brilliant. I bet that would put asses in seats.
-
It will be established that Gordon is still hooking up Bats. So, in a Silence of The Lambs/Manhunter style move we will see Batman going to talk to The Joker.
-
like Zemeckis and Speilberg and Lucas about unwanted sequels to films made two fucking decades ago? <P>whats next? "hey Ron Howard, now that you've gotten your oscar fix, can you go back and make a sequle to WILLOW? the kids really want it..."<P>"they do?"<P>"yeah they do! and BRYCE can be in it! wouldnt that be swell?!"<P>"come to think of it...yeah it would."<P>FUCKING DIE WITH THESE SEQUELS...unless they are good....naturally.
-
would be THE LITTLE LEBOWSKI. The Dude and Walter are stuck with the 10 year old offspring of Lebowski and Maude after she dies in a tragic art accident.
-
Citation needed.
-
for waht?
-
That movie is perfection. It will never be improved upon or even matched by a sequel.
-
re: Batman and Joker at Arkham scene.
-
But it IS a sequel that I would see. Like LIVE FREE OR DIE HARD. Didn't need it--but I did see it.
-
Comes from a friend in the record industry who was talking to some music reps at Warner Brothers. They told him that the real ending for The Joker was shot--but not put in the film after Heath died. The idea of Batman going to see him is what I came up with after connecting the dots.
-
Oh, wait... nevermind, start the presses back up again.
-
you say very few words...at a time... and then pretty soon... you will have it down.... I still say no big names for The Riddler. Get the guy who tried to blackmail Bruce in TDK. Mr.Reese=Mysteries. He's got motive, he's got smarts AND he knows Batman's secret identity.

breaking news: aicn still doesnt care about ed mcmahon
by supercowbell5THECOWBELLHASSPOKEN
-
Needs to be the villian. You know its ture.
-
Doesn't translate to screen as well as the Joker. A villain who leaves specific clues that allow you to solve his crimes defeats the purpose. Penguin's no good either. Batman's essentially the villain in this movie after how the last one ended up. The film's real villain should be whoever ends up having to track down the Batman.
-
Nothing personal against him but he's too big a name.

Please, no real life villains!

Firefly...you heard it here folks, the plot of Batman 3 will involve an arsonist who goes by the name of Firefly but thats a minor plot. The major plot will deal with batman on the run and dealing with the mob taking advantage of that<P>i work in the production and that comment above about joker in arkham is bullshit, there was no full scene left over from the joker footage... only bits and pieces, and nothing that could be edited together to make a coherrent scene (it would look like the radioactive man movie after millhouse ran away if they did)

could you be any more full of shit?

stop wanking off, wonderboy.
-
BORING. We've already had 2 mob movies. Batman's got a good rogue's gallery; they should use it. I thought Joker was supposed to give Gotham a better class of criminals.
-
Now that Dawes is out of the way, get some of the comics' actual female characters in there. Use Catwoman in more of an anti-hero sidekick role (plus love interest), and let there be a Talia/Catwoman/Batman triangle. For the other villain...how about Deadshot or Black Mask...?
-
The Nolan movies are technically brilliant but they are so joyless. I understand trying to stay away from the Schumacher lunacy but is there not a happy medium? I still would like to see a period Batman set in the 30's or 40's. Retro-future technology. Art deco design. Oh and plenty of genuine wit and whimsy without it devolving into camp. I actually thought Aaron Eckhart would make a good period Batman. He's got the chin.
-
so they would have one scene with the joker in the movie? he would totally overshadow whatever villain they would have in this one.i think thats going to be the big problem with this movie. who is going to be a better villain than the joker was in TDK? Joker is the perfect batman nemesis.
-
Surely the whole story of Batman3 will be Batman being on the run and what that means to the 'mob' and Gotham at large? I mean, Begins and Knight were both about saving Gotham's soul, so Catwoman and Riddler and Penguin are all kinda irrelevant. Sure, there has to be a bad guy and it wouldn't surprise me to see any of the big names show up (even just as a cameo), but it's always seemed pretty evident to me that Nolan set out to tell his own story first, a Batman story second.
-
I'm just passing on what i know about the early stages of Batman 3<P>The joker stuff however is true, i know what was cut, there was no arkham scene ever filmed or n the script and the heath ledger stuff that was cut was nothing more then trimms, the only major of which was Joker and his goons leaving the party after batman and racheal fell off the building, and it was cut because it made it look like Batman saw them leaving and chose not to go after them, Chris thought it was much better to cut it and have the audience assum Joker snuck out the back
-
its happening
-
Fuck me thats an odd reference. I have no idea who that is.
-
cmon!
-
That is all.
-
'The Batman' cartoon. He's not even a traditional villain from the DC universe. People have a better shot of knowing who Clayface is over Firefly.
-
...sucks. An arsonist? Maybe Batman can fight the Litterer, or Urban Blight.
-
and white eye contacts..... Im sick of this bastardization of batman
-
Asylum was awesome. I loved everything about it even Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill reprising their roles respectively. As far as Im concerned the third Batman film definitely should be about lesser known villains such as Hush or the The Ventriloquist. Hell, I would even like to see Madhatter or Harley Quinn, even if it twould be difficult to set up her origin without Heath in the picture. Personally, I still think he should adapt The Dark Knight Returns. Anyway, I know the third film in any series is usually a stinker, but I would still love to take another journey through the Nolan-verse.

Nolna isn't a fan of catwoman because she's been done so many times, and he finds pengiun would be cartoonish if you brought hinm into the real world<P>Chris has mention in passing that he would use vicki Vale if he needed a fmale character to add into the story. The real villian chris and john would love to tackle is Bane however is virtually impoosible to pull that off unless they found a great actor willing to spend a year bulking up for the role, chris said he will never cast a wrestle or body builder in the role unless there acting is superb
-
DOUBLE YES!
-
and they said you're fired, Jett.
-
I like that you are calling the director by first name. You guys really chummy? There WAS a scene between The Joker and Batman filmed that showed us WHERE the Joker ended up. THAT is a fact. Everything else was me kind of adding my own spin on what I would like it to be.
-
To make sence in Nolan's world (not being cheesey), this would be a very loosely based version of Firefly.
-
Bane, while locked up in Peña Duro prison, hears of Batman's "murders". He breaks out and comes to Gotham City to take down the Dark Knight as a personal test. More action + better fight choreography is inclusive. Film begins with young Bane being sentenced to life in prison in the stead of his father. Annnnnnnd scene.

iwontwin, the comic suit would look retarded in live action
by MattmanBegins
Why would someone attempting to be stealthy wear gray and blue tights? It looks good on paper, but not on film. And how is a realistic suit (I'm talking the one in Dark Knight) a 'bastardization of Batman'? Bale's suit actually looks like it can take a bullet.
-
...Firefly? What else are you going to pull out of your ass?
-
Sounds terrible. Bane? A roid rager in a lucha mask? Really? I smell... sharks and fridges. Or bullshit.
-
also, in DC vs Mortal Kombat.....Christopher Nolan is too interested in cold logical plots driven narratives, we need someone like guillermo del toro to put a more authentic spin on the batman universe.

They aren't going to cast the dude who played Mr. Reese...
by cheyne_stoking_DMS
Trust me.
-
He had none. He only has a "story credit" because he was the main writer of BB. Nolan was only allowed to tweak the script back then. You can clearly see that TDK is much more Nolan, vastly different from the first one. TDK felt more like a crime epic or something. Goyer is one of Hollywood's go-to guys when it comes to comics and sci-fi/fantasy, that's why he was hired to write BB. Nolan co-wrote the sequel with his brother. After Goyer begged them for several hours, his name was mercifully included in TDK's credits.
-
Next movie will have the police and federal agencies hunting Batman. Bring in Professor Hugo Strange to act as an advisor that oversteps his authority (ala Prey)
-
Robert Loggia as the voice of his puppet Scarface (I know, I too am surprised he's alive after seeing him do a Lloyd Bridges impression in that Mac commercial).

by AzulTool
-
Caines got nuthin
-
And I'm not sure what you mean by "more authentic spin on the batman universe." I'm a huge Batman buff, and I can tell you that Nolan was the first to get the spirit of the character right on film. Especially when Burton had Batman murdering people (and I still like Burton's take, btw), and didn't develop Bruce Wayne as the true disguise. Being authentic goes beyond getting the color of the costume right... and by the way the costume constantly changes in the comics.
-
as gaudy fantasy........Batman has to be agile, his villains have to be somewhat over the top, and we also need some some more lightheartedness.....which is why Robin is a great character.
-
He said that the plot they are leaning towards now will have the frightened citizens of Gotham hiring deadshot to assassinate the batman, however when deadshot also sub-hires Bane and the two of them go out of control the people of gotham turn back to Batman to rid them of the villians they brought in<P>the firefly subplot will be very tiny and will more related to the scarecrow and as a story vicki vale is investigating<P>even with all my digging i can't find a definitive title, but David goyer and i were having lunch and he is pushing for "Batman: Redemption"
-
'Coleman Reese' anagrams to 'Menace or else.' I'm pretty sure that COLEMAN REESE will be The Riddler...or some NOLAN version of The Riddler. Pissed that he got punked in the last go around he is hell bent on exposing WAYNE as BATMAN. THINK ABOUT IT...In PART 3 BATMAN is the BAD GUY...and people hate him. So Reese will be trying to prove that WAYNE is BATMAN in order to discredit his former boss. Instead of showing us BATMAN is WAYNE...it's a cool reverse look at potential plot.
-
is how the Penquin is considered too cartoony for the Nolan-verse.
-
is as fleshed out as he is. I've seen a few interviews with him and he really seems to get that character.

No Johnny Depp?.. Batman 3 sounds better & better.
by scriptgirl_nipples
-
and she said you're full of shit.
-
Nolan's big idea is to rip-off the plot for The Incredible Hulk? I'm glad we're hearing this from a talkbacker and not from Caine.
-
CHRIS called...he said his name is MR. NOLAN
-
with a response anymore. And Superman will meet up with Batman and the Flash and battle Calendar man.
-
never read the comics....they grew up on paul dini's cartoons....thats what we want NEXT. I've read a good share of comics, from dark knight returns, hush, long halloween series....and various others. I like oracle, rooftop battles, batman stalking his prey, giant robot battles....
-
If they went the night club owner or corrupt politician route, and didn't ACTUALLY MAKE HIM A PENGUIN (Burton is so literal), it might work.
-
I still think Dini's Two Face origin story is the best Two Face story ever told.
-
You know you like it. But just face facts--Coleman Reese from TDK IS RIDDLER. It's already done. Ask JETT to call CHRIS for confirmation.
-
just make him a dude with a fucked up face. Have him resemble a penquin. Case closed.
-
...I REPEAT, AND PAY VERY CLOSE ATTENTION...THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO SEE HERE!
-
But the great God Nolan must complete his art house projects first.
-
For the last time, Robin is an awful, extremely annoying, completely unnecessary addition the comics, added only for the purpose of selling more toys. When Bane broke Batman's back, he chose Azrael - who was a nutcase - over Robin, because Robin is useless, a pansy, a fruitcake, nothing else.
-
What about the calender man? I have to admit i wouldn't mind seeing hush. Batman needs an intellectual rival, thats what made Ledgers Joker so affective. The man was insane but he was damned intelligent.
-
You fuckers act like you're so clever with that and that no one has ever heard that before...
-
I think Batman, more than any other comic book character, works just fine in a hyper realistic environment, since he has no superpowers. But he also works as fantasy. That's the great thing about the character. I can appreciate both versions.
-
I don't know if that was the guy's real name, but he used to come in here posting his fan-fic fantasies about Buffy and Star Wars, claiming all the while that he was best buds with Lucas and Whedon. If JettL93 isn't him back from retirement, he's a spiritual successor. As for Hipperson, he's posting FoaF stories. As any reader of student of urban legends will tell you, those are almost invariably bullshit.
-
Not so much with the title though, as apt as it is... <p> I've never seen why Bane needs to be a "side-kick." He's one of Batman's greatest villains. HE BROKE THE BAT. Wait a few movies and give him his Back-Breaker-Batman movie that uses all the villains against him. The movie basically writes itself. </p>
-
Damn lack of an edit button!
-
Actually came from Harry a while back, I believe. Face it, there's no way to directly follow up TDK. I don't think anything can live up to that. I think they should shoot The Dark Knight Returns as the third part. Make Bale look older, recast an older looking Joker, maybe leave out Superman, but I think that would be the best way to follow up TDK
-
Batman needs a vehicle for redemption given how the last flick ended. The best way to do this would be to introduce a replacement for Bats that has ulterior motives for taking over Gotham. This is Deadshot's origin and he also happens to be a fan favorite. The red herring villain could be the Ventriloquist, who Deadshot appears to be investigating, yet is really just a useful idiot. Both characters fit into Nolan's "as close to reality as possible" universe.<P>This could/may be perceived as a retread of the first flick in some ways, but enough differences could be embellished into the script that would make it stand alone. And it would be wholly FAITHFUL to the SOURCE MATERIAL.
-
What the shit does that mean? I'm not uber cool and jacked in Rolling On The Floor Laughing My Ass Off...or whatever the hell the kids say. What I'm posting WILL come to see the light. Just wait.
-
I remember reading that shit awhile back. I also think that's the best route. Give or take a few details.
-
The Knightfall storyline would be unbelievable but it would never happen. It would be epic
-
I've been friends with the guy for years, he knows what he's doing, he has an idea for batman 3 and he really wants to bring in some rocking villians. I've seen the design work for the new batmobile and wow wee its gonna look stunly beautiful, like of a mix between the tumber, a dodge viper and even burtan's batmobile. <P>also take my word for it when i saw that Nolan has even considered breaking the story up and shooting a batman 3 and 4 at the same time, the fourth film would be set at x-mas and involve Mr Freeze, Nolan's take on Mr freeze wowed all of us at the dinner table
-
What is an FOAF story?
-
Now it's just funny.
-
People Like Batman because he is DADDY.....sorry to say, but that is why he has appealed for so long. Whereas he was a goofy father knows best interpretation in the 50s...He is not just some drone for justice. Even goyer's script alludes to that part at the end of DK... "a silent guardian, a watchful protector...."
-
DON'T MAKE IT. <p> <p> Seriously. Back away. Leave it as it is. Wait 10, 15 years, reboot. <p> <p> You CANNOT top The Dark Knight. <p> You CANNOT top The Joker as a villain, or Ledger in the part. <p> You CANNOT top it as an almost-perfect synthesis of comic book movie / summer blockbuster / "proper" film. <p> You CANNOT repeat the lightning-in-a-bottle, however tragic and unfortunate, of having a superb movie in its own right made all the more 'special' by the passing of the actor who made it. ('Cos let's face it, Bale is unfortunately the weakest link in his own movie there.) <p> <p> Anything that follows The Dark Knight - and only Nolan could even DARE attempt it - is doomed to fail in comparison. <p> <p> I honestly believe Nolan has enough integrity to know this, and if they can't nail something utterly special, he won't commit. <p> <p> But then, of course, we'll see a follow-up directed by someone else, who will stay ALMOST true to the established world, but feel the need to put their own little spin on it. <p> <p> Bale? He'd be back. Write him a big enough cheque and he'd be there. Don't believe the bluster - the guy signed up for Terminator Salvation. Solely because of the brilliant, character driven script. Yeah, whatever. <p> <p> By the way... did anyone figure out exactly which scene in that instantly-forgettable cash-in was the "intense, character-driven, emotional" interlude which caused Princess Bale to throw his toys out of the pram? 'Cos I sure as shit couldn't spot it. <p> <p> I didn't realise it was so emotionally draining and important to "connect" with your co-star when punching a great big time-travelling metal skeleton for the twelfth time.

We heard it from you, you heard from a guy you know, who heard it from a guy he knows. There's always a disconnect in those stories in which they inevitably turn out false. See http://tinyurl.com/n7oavw

... the ending of The Dark Knight is pretty much perfect. It's certainly not closure. But it's as if "Batman" has TRULY "begun" as we know him. The guy in the shadows. The watchful protector. You get what I mean.
-
I, for one, couldn't swallow another reboot. Especially something as epic as a Batman reboot. I see where you're coming from, Gavin. I really do. I don't care if the supposed 3rd flick tops the 2nd. As long as it's a good movie.

You are the most over-the-top troll ever. I pray to God that you are doing this to purposely entertain us, because if you are dumb enough to think that anyone will believe your ridiculous bullshit, you should have been drowned at birth.

Heath Ledger coming back for the Joker role then there is Mr. Freeze being involved in the Nolan-verse.

seems like he needs a hug.
-
Just stop. Your idea of Batman talking to The Joker is retarded. THE DARK KNIGHT ended with Batman on the run and riding the Bat Pod up that ramp into the light. Where exactly was that footage you speak of going to be? <p> You're full of shit, but you know that.
-
... Good shout. Could work. Possibly the only thing that WOULD. But who could take on the cowl? All the elder statesmen are either TOO old now (Your Lord and Master Clinton Eastwood, Jr.) or too self-important to stoop to such "shenanigans" (I'm looking at you, Mr. Ford). I struggle to think of a 50+ actor who could, or would, do it. Joker? Denis Leary? Sue me, I'm a fan, check the name! Just spitballing.

We're just hoping they do it right.
-
I discussd at length with C-No about how the film ended and he considers it a middle act, because of the story of batman 3 and 4 being one essential story continuation, batman 3 will be an extension of the middle act but from what i read will end on a high note and batman 4 will end with the batman we all know, well established and ready to take on gotham...batman 4 is going to be titled "The Gotham Crusades"
-
. . .a super cool villain. TDK already did that, and it would be foolish to try and top Ledger's Joker. Instead, the movie should try to focus more on Batman's character and try to make him the most interesting person in the film. That's my philosophy for the third film, anyway.
-
<p>...with my totally speculative predictions for Batman 3. Mark and remember, for I am like a movie psychic.</p> <p>The following characters will be in Batman 3...some in small roles, others as leads: Talia, Black Mask, Hugo Strange, Selina Kyle (maybe not Catwoman, yet).

I always laugh my ass off when I hear that line. Just thought I would share.
-
And I can guarantee to you there's no missing scene with Ledger, nor would Chris ever allow the specter of Ledger overwhelm the third movie. Instead, as Chris was telling me last weekend in the Hampton's, the big suprise for part 3 will most likely be the appearance of Robin, played by--wait for it--Miley Cirus. Chrissy plans to wait until 2012 to start filming so that she'll be 18 by then and there won't be any fuss when he brings back the "nippled" armor suits. He's also kicking around the idea of making her a lesbian and/or involving her in a love triangle with Bruce and Lady GaGa as poison Ivy. Of course, Jesus Christo, as I call him in private, is also toying with the idea of pulling a "Pulp Fiction" and reviving Liza Minnelli's career by casting her as Catwoman. As Chryssanthemum was saying, he's thinking of having her appear completely nude, but for "Dali mustache-like" whiskers that potrude from her vag.
-
# 3 will be called, simply "The Batman".
-
<p>Beat it last weekend, very cool!</p><p>I think everyone wants Catwoman for the next one. his other characters are too fantasy-oriented like Killer Croc or Clayface. Provided she can act, I'd be totally down with Meg Fox. Angelina Jolie seems to be the favorite, and she would have been perfect 10 years ago. I think she's getting a little long in the tooth for the role, but she could probably pull out one last super-sexy performance as Catwoman.
-
That was some seriously funny shit. Whiskers protruding from the Vag. Nice.
-
I believe it.
-
Must I continue to say this?
-
Bane done REALLY well.
-
Assuming he can pull of an American accent, I could see David Tennant as Eddie Nashton aka Edward Nigma alias The Riddler.
-
CATWOMAN...Olivia Wilde. DONE.
-
he's been getting the runs from the stress.
-
Nolan typically prefers people that can act...
-
To shave. He hates when my face gets stubble on it.
-
And I say that all of your ideas suck, except for the ones I like and will steal. Eat my shit, bitches!
-
How brilliant is that?!
-
Bastard.
-
Catwoman should be Talia Al Ghul to complete the circle with the first film. I submitted that to Chris during his live community screening of The dark Knight on Blu-ray. I don't know if it could have been screened before it got to him, but I think that would be the ultimate trilogy topper.
-
Seriously...for all the love you guys give CHRIS and his Bat flicks you HAVE TO ADMIT IT...Bale is a shitty Batman. KEATON is GOD.
-
but that George Cooter guy was the worst.
-
And not in the Superman Returns sense. living a solitary life for that long does not build empathy for anything his character....its not really that masculine, or even human. Batman needs Robin, he needs oracle, perhaps even Damian....

And Christopher Walken is the best "made for the movie" bad guy ever.
-
Assuming there was another Joker ending, I'm sure it was of him DYING! And THAT'S why they didn't want to use it, because it would be in supremely bad taste.
-
+1 Well played!
-
If the 3rd BATMAN film and the 5th INDIANA JONES film were both screening on the SAME NIGHT--and somehow you knew NOTHING about either of them--which one would you see?
-
The recent Batman outings earned more goodwill than the most recent Indy outing.
-
The script i read has the opening scene being a dream and it shows harvey dent and bruce wayne, i won't give away what it entails but lets say the 5 deaths will be..revealed<P>also if you think robin won't be in the movie you are wrong and right at the same time, nolan confided in me that dick grayson will appear but robin will not, graycon will be a mechanic that ghelps to build the batwing and he wants to be a superhero too but batman won't let him because of racheal, it's rel heatbreajing stuff, I actually weaped when nolan told me, i was so moved from how he described the script to me
-
<p>*Batman repeatedly axes Joker in the face*</p><p>Try getting a reservation at Dorsia now you STUPID FUCKING BASTAAAAARD!</p>
-
Bale LOOKS the most like Batman. He's actually built like the comic book Batman (or as close as any live actor is gonna get). Keaton had a great presence and voice, but anytime you saw him from a long shot he looked hilarious. And Bale is the best Wayne, hands down.
-
INDY. I'll never get the same chills as I did from TDK...even if they got Michele Pfiefer to be Catwoman again...and she had a sex scene with Angelina Jolie...I'd still go for INDY. At least with INDY almost ANYTHING will be better than the Crystal Balls...but with TDK the bar is raised higher than that JETT guy pretending he's friends with C No.

can't spell for shit.

Michael Caine is wrong. I got the truth straight from Nolan.
by GaryOldman
My good friend Michael is misleading you all. Johnny Depp is currently cast as The Riddler. This is something you won't find on IMDb Pro, I can assure you. We're keeping this low-key for now (internet forums), to see what reactions are like amongst fans.
-
I wish AICN would stop posting these non stories..it is so not cool and a huge waste of my time. The only real reason Merrick posted this story was to plant a big 'ol link to the Arkham Asylum game on Amazon to collect "a small percentage to go towards the continuation of this column".
-
you sound just like Gary Oldman. Can you scream "Everyone!" for us?
-
Just surfing around movie sites and reposting other people's stories. This was on batman-on-film.com a couple days ago.
-
Emily Blunt is Catwoman. Ask Jett, he'll tell you.
-
Michael Caine fucked up before and there's no Depp involvement, no script being written, and no Bale assaulting crew members. Nada.
-
What is your favorite accent to use?
-
...Johnny Depp does not exist in this dojo.
-
I'm not going to be 1/8th exited.
-
Katie Holmes?
-
Since the Joker will be given a rest in Nolan's trilogy, make it DDL for Riddler. Holy shit man that guy's cinematic presence will fucking eat the audience. He's the only one who can successfully follow up Heath Ledger.
-
with a very cool cast.
-
I really want a killer croc movie but the "real world" environment of the new Batman flicks kinda makes that impossible. Please give me Zsasz and more detective work from Batman. I want at least some indication on film that Batman is the world's greatest detective.
-
Come on. Seriously. Only in a BURTON BAT-FILM would I want to see Depp. In the Nolan world, and JETT--tell me if I am wrong, but in the Nolan BAT world it is more about the hero than the bad guy...and they lost sight of that in TDK...but that was to be expected. So, in part 3--it's all Batty with the Baddie in the backseat.
-
But will he backpedal?
-
I'm going to have to backpedal on that one.
-
Powers that be, make this so!
-
... and am more than happy to wait a few more years for that glow to fade. And for Nolan and the creative team to come up with a blow-it-out-my-ass fantastic story. Take all the time you need, Chris.
-
and michael caine comes up to him acting all hip and english and batmanster says: "are you drunk man?" and the cainster says no and bats is like "well then get out of my face" and bats got in his his rocket pod mobile express and jets down the street at warp ten via dilithium crystal. And thats just how it is bats is thinking in his brain and all the sudden just then he gets the urge to see how janester is doing so he gets on the bat cell and informs janester its time they get serious like seriously in bed together to he can show her what a bat can do. But jane is playing coy and is like "bats i've got a boy friend la la la" and bats only hears talking like the adults in peanuts like "blah blah blah" and hes like " ok i'll see you tonight at ten" and janes saying "no! i've got a boyfriend" but alas bats has his mind made up and thats the end of it period story over etc. <p> So battlemonoman himself our batster shows up at janesters appartment at like 10:45 and is there with bells on. And Janes boyfriend answers the door and who is it god damn it but that no good docster doc spinster!!@!$ crimester and criminal royale and regal bank robber and band man himself. WTF!4 Bats is filled with an obtuse amount of jealously and rage and battles down the door and informes dick spinster that it is time to rumble for the sake of his love and livelyhood the lovely fuckable janester. And its on and they are battleing in the street and causing a rukus slamming holes into the pavement and the asphault and vaulting over one another in high arcs obove the city making matrix revolutions smith/neo fight look like kignergarten. "you will die!" batmanster informs spinster whilest punching him in the face and by the boucning and landing on the pavement spinster does it is hard to argue against batsters interpretations of the situation. And bats gets out the bat gun with grappling hook and blasts it in spinsters direction and drags him toward his obvious doom at the feet of batsters battle boots. And spinster is crying and saying "no battleman I didnt know that whore was a bitch of yours please let me live to rob banks and another day etc." and in a sudden lighting bat flash of mercy bats says ok sure just this once get the fuck out ov here" and thats the end of the battle royale. <p> Bats staggers back to janesters flat to suprise her with some suprise sex and reflects on the fact that his drunkness is making it hard to be coherent and spell correctly...oh well. <p> Tje ehnd.
-
MICHAEL KEATON. How cool would that be?!
-
I wish I could have the 2 minutes of my life it took to read that...next time try and make your funny post ACTUALLY FUNNY. Thank you.
-
But Bane can speak, and he's ranting about a libertarian government where everyone can smoke weed and carry automated weapons to church.
-
I ain't got time to bleed.
-
yea? nea?
-
How 'bout Nooooooooooooooo
-
If there is going to be a Riddler (although I'm not convinces there needs to be), Jim Parsons should be looked at (from the Big Bang Theory) I think he would be perfect...
-
? Are you promoting the book, mocking it, disagreeing???
-
and he was a librarian in a small town and was generally liked by most of the populance and etc. So he went to his basement to freebase a glass of culligan water through his nostrils and all of the sudden he went to wathc the evening news. And then his couch was tan. And then he became more successful and decided to maile his friends lettors in the email and with regular post maile. And hte letters were very dry because he remembered to clasp the box shut in case of sopping wetting rains. A fanstastic idea. A man of our times a good freind and my best friend. <p> I love you hipster.
-
Nolan himself said he hates the idea sequels raising the stakes and trying to top the last movie. Even TDK wasn't really a raising of the stakes - in BB the whole city was at risk - millions of lives versus the thousands on the ferry. <P> He has also stated he is more worried about what the next theme should be, not what new stunts we can do to top the last movie. So people should stop worry about if they will top TDK, it is unimportant. All that matters is that he makes a Batman movie with a story we are interested in. <P> And anyone who thinks or says FIrefly is in the next one is breathing way to man paint fumes.
-
What the shit are you talking about?
-
Killer Croc! What, you thought I was going to say Catwoman?
-
You brought up Ventura's book, so I was wondering if you were a fan or no?
-
How have you been doing?
-
i loved you all with all my heart. <p> I can send you letters in the maile and they will be very dry against sopping raine in order to protect such importances. <p> I want to becaome a master of building fencins. Fences. this will keep cows sheep, childern..etc. safe and inside the fence and now outside the fence. Mo< <p> mo <>p <p> ps...i live youl. love you
-
I was quoting Predator...not the title of a book--although I know it is the title of his book...I'd rather quote PREDATOR. "Bunch of slack jawed faggots..."
-
not bad...not bad.
-
i feel like i can puke on myslfe and no one will judge me.
-
scarface is cool
-
can be Alfred's crazy nephew in Gotham to rob a casino.
-
Then why did you ask what the shit I was talking about when you knew what the shit I was talking about? Go watch Predator and leave me alone.
-
thatd be cool... scorpius should be riddler
-
and it was moist and delectible and spelled correctly. And just then the ghost of Jim Morrison arrived and told kilmer to dedicate the rest of his days to hyping toni morrison books. Kilmer said yes needless to say and I think we can all agree that his movie career is a testiment to this cause. <p>
-
and Black Mask. Huntress. I don't mind the Riddler or Catwoman so much, but they've been done (poorly).
-
What the shit are you asking me about the shit for? I shit therefore I am. I shit the shit, shit. BATSHIT!
-
I have truly missed the adventures of Battlebatmanius rex...

First we had Oldman's backpedal<p>Then we had maybe it'll be in IMAX....or not<p>Now we have this "Michael Caine says nothing is happening on Batman 3" Stop the mother trucking presse!

-
ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!
-
Hey!
-
it's got an almost armour rooster type thing running up the spine that adds a lion version of batman to the villians. it's going to be tight and it's got cold lining so that batman can fight mr freeze if it's cold
-
pretend i'm a walrus...that should help <P> lalalalalalalalalaaa!~'
-
do you approve of the pedal back move? <p>
-
I've been doing fine. Mr. Bale has been giving me full body massages. Oh, those are heavenly.
-
Unless someone has something better than WATER SHIT going on about cheese, subs, and God knows what else I think I'm going to bail and write a blog about the usefullness of vaginal tearing.
-
It has been to long since last we have seen you.
-
I hate looking at it. I hate hearing it. Everything about the presentation turns me off. Which kind of sucks because there's a decent game there, but I'll never go near it.
-
Chill out and go get a berg.
-
lets face facts here...i'm on the edge of my seat to know hipsters opinions,thoughts and soon to be released op ed on vaginal tearing.
-
Good riddance.
-
like a penquin.
-
Because this entire Thread is useless. It is a non-story, so we might as well make the most of it. <P> If you are looking for serious content you should do so somewhere else.
-
with knobs yelling "I want Zsasz," "I want Killer Croc," "I want a cgi blue Man-Bat," "Megan Fox for Catwoman!," "Dick grayson!," "Spandex sucks!"<P>Then, the backpedalers will take over and make this the coolest thread on AICN.<P>Other than that, MEANINGLESS.<P>The Nolanverse blows.
-
Those who like The Battlemanster, and those who can go fuck themselves.
-
this and THE HOBBIT... wake me up when there's some legit news on either of these films. thanks.
-
So if you want to expand on that, I am all ears.
-
blogs a viable medium again. God bless you . <p>
-
WATER_SHIT, You're awesome. Very funny. Hey, ANONYMOOSE, suck the sweat off a dead dogs balls.
-
Yeah, a Spielberg to ram you hard, Hipper.
-
Bale said nothing.<P>He said it professionally, I guess, but it was still nothing.
-
his own vagina...so that larger thermos bottles will fit...
-
There's no news! HaHaHaHaHahoohehaha. And I thought my jokes were bad.
-
That's gross. No.
-
comes with the territory when you're batmanster.
-
They'll just have to wait for Avatar.
-
nolan shot some specific stuff and they are going to attach a trailer to Avatar, it won't be film footage, but instead be off batman running in a warehouse and you hear a growl then a load buzzing and he jumps out of the way and a car get blown up then batman stops and says "i never thought the joker would be toped, gotham will never be safe unless i become the hero everybody wants", then fade to back and just a batlogo with 2012 appears<P>it's an amazing trailer we filmed it last week and i've seen a rough cut and wow, just wow the trailer is going to amazing
-
batmansters surprise sex fingerprint. <p> or dickprint....
-
"That ain't how ya do it, old man."<P>"What do you mean, Gary?"<P>"Well, I know it's easy to poke this gang of fools, but really, you gotta do it with a little more style."<P>"Style?"<P>"Yeah, mate. First, you hit 'em with something preposterous like 'The new film is going to have Firefly innit, ' or 'Nolan's taking time off for sex re-assignment,' something like that. Then, a little later you take it all back."<P>"Seems as pointless as riding a bicycle backwards."<P>"Well, we gotta keep them interested until 2015, and I'd rather do it this way than have one of us die or something."
-
Yay! Tell us a story about Aquaman now! PLEEEEEEEEEZE???
-
my load allover Jett's mom.
-
I had a conversation with Michael over the phone today. You nailed it.
-
You oughta.
-
And I will be taping copies of them to Avatwat posters at the theatre when it comes out...
-
Or more talented? I really WANT to like him, but he just hasn't convinced me that I should yet. <P> He IS pretty terrific in "House on Haunted Hill", tho. <P> 'You give me my god damn check right now! Cause I want it! So you give it! Now!'
-
Conan O' Brien.
-
about Wonder Woman, Superman and The Invisible Man?
-
dont misunderstand me.i freakin love the movie,i watched it twice in the cinema.but when i rewatched it in bluray,i started noticing its flaws,which were quite a lot,with the most important one the length of the movie: i believe nolan could say everything he wanted in a shorter duration of the movie,and not just drag too much and harm the pace of the story. <p>anyway i hope they ll have Catwoman,The Riddle and maybe Clay Face,just to bring some tragic and a lot of cool cgi action with his character (they can also do this with Mr Freeze but the Arnie fiasko is still fresh)
-
it could use to crayola to class it up a little <p>
-
damn it.
-
...leave anonymoose alone. He's my buddy. We've had our differences in the past, but now we're closer than a spooning couple. If you don't stop, I'll get Nolan to make the worst Batman film ever, even worse than Batman & Robin. You'd contemplate suicide, it would be so terrible.
-
and I must've heard 14 of my friends try and pass it off like it was their own.
-
Paul Giamatti would be great as the Penguin and I'd love to see Sam Rockwell as the Riddler. Oh, and Carla Guigino as Cat Woman.
-
That must be ONE funny joke...Wonder how many times it'll surface here...?
-
So I could use a refresher.
-
and I must've heard 14 of my friends try and pass it off like it was their own.

by cheyne_stoking_DMS
*cricket* *cricket*
-
with Mr Reese from TDK,but as villains for the Bruce Waye side of Batman.Hauer wants revenge from bruce because he fired him,he allies himself with Mr Reese who is greedy for money,and together,since they know how batman is,they prepare their plan in order to take over Bruce's empire.ofc luscius fox will be targeted as well. <p>that for the Bruce Wayne bussiness aspect of the movie.for the Batman aspect,i would love to have catwoman with poison ivy and harley quinn in a love triangle.throw in and batgirl as a bonus.
-
"BITCHES LEAVE!"
-
tits or GTFO and Nolan saying STFU. ROFLMFAO.
-
Is that band name taken?
-
'Cause I want them!
-
ominus is the first to advocate a lesbian orgy in the Nolanverse.
-
As The Riddler. Why not? He already fucked up SUPERMAN...maybe he should flaunt his I HAVEN'T MADE A GOOD MOVIE SINCE SE7EN ass in Gotham
-
Doesn't FUCKING EXIST! So why the shit are we still on this thread?!
-
should be the rule rather than the exception...
-
JettL93 is clearly a reference to George Lucas' son, Jett Lucas. This guy sounds a lot like Supershadow of fake Starwars news fame. He claims to know George Lucas and has all kind of "spoilers" at his site, all of which he made up. I guess now that Starwars has been run into the ground and we've all seen the horror that was the new trilogy, Supershadow, aka Mickey Suttle, needs a new popular franchise to exploit. This is his way of making himself feel needed and important-stringing people along with fake info. He should just be ignored unless you get laughs out of his posts in an entertainment sort of way, which is what I started to think Supershadow.com was-entertainment that makes fun of geeks that are obsessed with Starwars. Im surprised he hasnt been doing that with LOST.Anyway, as I said: JettL93 is Supershadow aka Mickey Suttle. Gotta be.
-
since June.
-
But I actually read that supershadow shit one day. You would think for being so full of shit--and all of us know it's full of shit--he would actually write something GOOD!
-
Don't take shit so seriously.

I haven't been this excited about a movie rumor...
by Cheeses_of_Nazareth
since Oldman dropped that bomb a few months ago..
-
THE LINE MUST BE DRAWN HERE!
-
you really have low expectations for your movie rumors, huh?
-
That does it for me "BIG ASS TITTIES!"
-
Sept. 22, 2009, 3:46 p.m. CST
Yes, I like my movie rumors nice and un-informative..
by Cheeses_of_Nazareth
-
Yeah, because Bale hates being acted off the screen. It's happened twice. He's not going to let it happen again.
-
Not all of them, just his initial episodes. There's 8 of em.
-
I was walking back from the 7-11 and a drunken hobo told me that Jensen Ackles was growing a mustache in order to play Deadshot in the new Batman movie! <P> Then he threw up on my shoes, just to prove his point.
-
and eye rapage.<P>And then deliver FERN GULLY.
-
Why are we now printing articles about a LACK of information...what the fuck Harry? Are we going to start threads about movies that aren't going into production because they don't exist yet?
-
It won't happen, but I thought since she's arguably the best martial artist in DC and has only appeared in Birds Of Prey they would give her a shot. And if they put her in, maybe a little peak at infant Cassandra Cain? Yeah, that's wishing too much, but I can dream.
-
malackow@netscape.net<P>I've asked him a zillion times, but then he drinks and forgets. Or, he sees a blue cat and becomes distracted.
-
That happened to me once, when I kicked Glenn Beck in the mouth.
-
that's the only title this movie could have...
-
and a british director/writer.hmmm
-
Sept. 22, 2009, 3:53 p.m. CST
Lady Shiva has appeared in more than just BIRDS OF PREY
by Subtitles_Off
Else, I wouldn't have heard of her.<P>She'd be great in a film, since, in mine, Catwoman's been overdone.<P>Cassandra Cain, um, not so much.
-
My shoes smell like Thunderbird and ramen, but it was worth it for that totally 100% for sure newsbit. <P> But who is Jensen Ackles?
-
is another generic soap opera actor.<P>I think he's on SMALLVILLE or some such shit.
-
and usually shirtless?
-
Oh, wait. It ain't news at all. Never mind.
-
I'm sure he won't feel like it with the success of the last film. I'd hate to see what had happened w/ Raimi and Venom. Those rumors that have been swirling around I hope don't come into fruition. Also, I think that the success of the casting has come from non-American actors - w/ exception of Freeman and Eckhart. That being said, I think Nolan could reinvent the Riddler like he did w/ Ras al Ghul. If they wanted to go really dark, they could take AA: A Serious House on Serious Earth's version of Mad Hatter.
-
Would be the best villain to followup the Joker... you know you want it! <P> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egghead_%28Batman%29
-
TRUE LIES is arguably the best 80s-90s BOND film made and im sorry if you cant handle the beast that is ED HARRIS (as well as supple miss mastrantonio) in the abyss...give it another shot..for all that underwater shit films they made in the late 80s, this holds up well...it was just mismarketed by...whatdoyouknow? FOX! <P>avatar will probably not be the goliath fans are making it out to be but it looks great so far..we will see come december...
-
Yeah. <P>MATRIX 4.<P>We need it like we need Jay Leno five times a week.
-
EGGHEAD
-
while King Tut pinches his nipples.
-
Film or animation, I've only seen her (done poorly) in Birds of Prey.
-

does anyone else think that AICN is throwing BATMAN 3 rumors out
by Six Demon Bag
just to free up some bandwidth and bring their refresh rates back to nomincal?<P>anyone? anyone?
-
My favorite parts of that classic site were where Supershadow regularly had dinner with Lucas and conducted detailed interviews with him, wherein over expensive caviar and lobster bisquet 'The Flanneled One' divulged intimate details of his divorce with Marcia to his best friend, and poured his heart out in anguish at her running off with the plumber. He then readily took Mickey's suggestions and even completed screenplays to be used for Star Wars Ep. 7 - 9 (featuring Grando Calrissian and a de-frosted Sith Lord called Darth Ultimus). True story that.<p>Seriously, I could never work out if the guy was legitimately bananas, or if the site was an elaborate practical joke at the fanboys' expense. Even if it was the latter, the amount of time and effort he put into it (along with his 'girlfriend's' site - she apparently sold chunks of rock from Venus!), still points towards him being a sad shut-in. Hilarious, though.<p>In other 'cool news', Batman 3 will feature Batman, played by Christian Bale. The character will wear a suit of black rubber, and talk like he just swallowed a strip of sandpaper and smoked 3 tons of tobacco through a steam funnel. I'm no Mickey Suttle, but don't say I never gave you anything!

Caine backpedals, claims to not even have heard of Batman or Christopher Nolan.
-
that the next batman movie,regardless its quality,it is in no fucking way going to reach the profits of TDK. there isnt everyday that your talented,celebrity actor who plays one of the most recognizable villains,dies before the premiere of the film. <p>i believe,that since nolan cant use the joker again,and given batmans situation at the end of tdk (hunted and heart broken),nolan is going to take inspiration from Spiderman successful formula: a superhero who has doubts for his self and his contribution to the world,and he also has trouble to relate romantically with someone else,since the tragic events of TDK.

Nolan told me over Coq Au Vin at the Connaught Grill. As the dining room listened intently to the sound of the Haggis being piped in, Nolan described at great length the numerous and tragic arc (as he told it) that Batman will move through whilst attempting to win a michelin star for the first Wayne Enterprises gourmet restaurant.

Seriously this is the only site that posts stories about there being NO news about something.

Jumping onto the mindless funning bandwagon, he'll deliver a motion capture Man-Bat and a CGI giant Scarface that transforms.<P>Batman, however, will still be an over-written moper in a ridiculous rubber suit.<P>Even the critics will fall for it.

Of course Two-Face isn't dead...<p>I just saw him in a commercial with Jennifer Anniston and, man, looks like he found a damn good dermatologist...
-
A Batman movie in the key of Se7en. Or Zodiac. Why not have a heavy-duty sign-off to leave us all in shock and awe? End trilogy, await reboot.
-
Ledger was great as the Joker, but now we need contrast. Fans keep asking for Depp or Tenant as the Riddler, which is frankly stupid. The Nolan-verse is very grounded in reality.<p>What I want is William H. Macy as a brilliant, psychotic Riddler akin to the Zodiac killer, as the only man smart enough to see through Batman's lies. Eventually the Riddler leaves enough clues to reveal the truth that Gordon lied in a murder investigation to frame Batman. Gordan had become the White Knight the city needed, but their plan backfired. Now no one trusts the deceased Dent, Gordon or anyone in the GPD. True fear and paranoia takes over the city. Watch Edmond (a brilliant flick no one has seen) and you'll see what Macy is capable of as an actor.
-
Patrick Stewart as the crazed scientist who murders the people responsible his accident and wides death, he doesn't have to have an ice gun, just kills people using the cold. Let Batman use his detective skills to find freeze, no love interest, include the possibility of the riddler but never really see him. Imagine the glowing red eyes of Mr Freeze watching Batman in the dark, creepy!

One Face...the man with only one face...although, he does tend to talk out of both sides of his mouth (whatever that old saying means...)

First off, the entire ending of TDK makes zero sense if Dent lives. Batman wouldn't be running if Dent lived, because all the police arriving on the scene would know instantly about Two-Face the second he woke up.<p>Next, Eckhart asked Nolan for clarification, and Nolan said in no uncertain terms that Two-Face was dead and will never return.

A twist on the Holiday Killer angle from The Long Halloween book that Nolan seems to like. <br><br> Set the movie 20 years in the future. <br> Have Harley Quinn be the serial killer. <br> She is called "Riddler" by the press because of the riddle type notes she leaves. <br> They assume she is a man of course. <br> She herself though does not write the riddles... she is just the person carrying out the mantle of "Riddler".<br> The actual Riddler is someone entirely different.<br> She is finally caught after many years of killing. <br> She just happens to be an ex lover of Bruce Wayne. (of course)<br> Batman has been trying to break this case for most his career. <br> Every time he gets close, he finds out he's on the wrong track. And thats part of Riddlers game.<br> People like Mr Reese and Mr Nygma turned out to be a patsies. (wink/nod to fans)<br> In those 20 years Batman has had to deal with a lot of foes, (cue montage of classic rogues gallery cameos, including the death of what looks like a sidekick/Robin).<br> <br> As previously state Harley Quinn is in fact only one half of the Riddler. She only commits the murders.<br> She gets her orders and her notes from the real Riddler. And who is the real Riddler?<br><br> An Arkham Asylum lifer... a 60 year old man that was once called Joker by the Gotham media.<br><br> Throw in a Bane side story where he breaks everyone out of Arkham... finally releasing Joker after all this time. <br> Bane has been controlled chemically by the still alive Ra's al Ghul who has chosen him as his heir by force.<br> Ra's goal is for Bane to break Batman's will so he finally accepts and becomes Ra's one and true heir.<br> Unfortunately he also breaks Batmans back, severely crippling him.<br><br> Bane has a crisis of conscience and breaks free from Ra's control.<br> Bane then takes up Batmans mantle and helps Batman destroy Ra's using Batmans technological expertise.<br> From the Batcave, Batman is able to help Bane via the use of his Brother Eye technology.<br> With that technology Batman is able to give Bane a map to all of Ra's Lazarus Pits and have Bane then go and fulfill his wish to destroy all chance of Ra's every coming back to control his life again.<br><br> While Bane is gone Joker is able to find the Batcave and comes in to kill the rehabbing Batman.<br> But he is not successful of course.<br> Batman injects himself with some of the chemical used to strengthen Bane in order to give himself a temporary physical boost back to semi health.<br> Batman kills Joker, but not before we get a drag out bloody fight between two 60 year olds.<br>

There is only one way I can think of to properly up the ante from TDK short of bringing Two Face back to life. SUPERMAN. Batman is on the wrong side of the law, he's supposedly killed six people, and the cops can't touch him. SUPERMAN is new in Metropolis, and upon hearing what's going on in Gotham, he comes to take The Batman down. Keep the same tone, make Superman the only fantastic element, which will make him seem even more Godly. DC already said they have no plans for Superman at the moment. Imagine how huge this movie could be.

i was madly jamming my hands into the keyboard attempting to convey my opinions on batmanster and talk to my homies and I heard a "creak" on the stairs to my side. I look over and standing there with a sheepish expression is Old Caine himself. Old Nigel Powers in the flesh. I take a sip on my brew and just as he's opening his mouth to tell me some inane thing I already know i scream at him to stop. "i get it... beer makes you drunk.... its in bottles, i'm drinking it right now, gravity makes things fall, stairs make you go higher, gary oldman is a liar, I GET IT!! So save it old man!". <p> For a second he doesnt know what to say...until finally he musters the ambition and quietly says: "i'm senile." Then he sadly walks down the stairs. <p> "obviously".

He simply let Rhas die, rather than risk helping him (he had saved Rhas' life already, and look where it led him). He was not directly responsible for the precarious position Rhas had found himself in. Now, in the case of saving the Joker (before anyone cries hypocrisy), Batman had literally thrown him off the building, and thus felt compelled to save him. He won't directly murder anyone. If the Joker had leapt off the building himself, that's a different story. His code remains intact.

Well I suppose Batman could've just let Two-Face blow the kid's brain out, instead of doing something about it. I'm pretty sure he didn't intend to hurtle Harvey to his death, but shit happens, and he could only save the kid in that situation. He's not Shumacher's Batman... who can magically save both Robin and Nicole Kidman by defying physics.
-
You had some good stuff in your post. I've been saying move it into the future too. They've setup Batman to go rogue and/or disappear - so let him come back in a Dark Knight Returns sort of plot. They did the Year One/origin story, they did the coming to grips with the costs of being Gotham's savior, now do the return. I realize we'll never get anything "paranormal" like Superman, but wow, I can just imagine how Nolan could work in Miller's Superman. <p> I'm on Presidente #2, and I'm taking cold medicine, not sure if any of this is coherent... <p>:)

Would be pretty good. Also Rupert Thorne ought to be in here somewhere. Of course I want Catwoman and Joker cameo (Joseph Gordon-Levitt). I'll only take lesser known villains in small roles for now. I'm not interested in Black Mask or Ventriloquist. You don't follow up the Joker with Z-grade villains like that. Penguin is underrated enough.

You think Superman has lame villains? (Well, he does, good ones too, but even those easily become lame if done wrong in a movie, which they always are, BTW.) Batman has some reeeeal stinkers. The Squid? Poison Ivy (Plant powers are so gay. Also, two words, Uma Thurman)? Calendar Man? Gypsy Moth? KGBeast? All sucktastic. Riddler, however, has possiblities of being successfully Nolan-ized. Go with Riddler and make him the exact opposite of that Jim Carrey bastardization we all suffered through back in 1995.

And this grass was high let me tell you and this leaf went into the grass and this grass was brown from cloudy skies and this grass was blown by the wind and this wind was from the sky and the sky was grey and there was a faint light and this light was grey and dim and it shown on the leaf and the grass and through the wind which could not be seen because of its invisibility. And this invisibility was like any other that exists except for the imperceptable particles it contained and these particles were small...too small for eyes to see. And these eyes were in a head. And this head was on some shoulders. <p>

And it's gonna be someone from Inception. After seeing JGL's Cobra Commander I think he'd be decent (albeit short.) DiCaprio wants to finally FIRMLY establish himself as an actor's actor, despite all the oscar bait he's been throwing out he knows he has yet to fully wash Titaniq off, and after seeing everyone go gaga after Heath Ledger you can bet he's at least mentioned the possibility to Christopher Nolan. As long as we have something as good as The Dark Knight I don't care who the villains are and who they're played by. If they f this up, im gonna say Make Mine Mickey!

Have not seen it. But I looked it up and it looks interesting. I'll have to see that. <P> Have you seen "Departures", Subs? It is a Japanese film that won best foreign picture (and no, I haven't seen it; I was supposed to see a screening after it won but I had to miss it, and now my friends keep raving about it).

That a Batman vs. The Punisher crossover would be boss.

Is compared to the works of Ozu and Kenji Mizoguchi. How the fuck have I never heard of this film until now?
-
How do you like the new place?
-
Several dumbasses up top claim to be in on the production. There is no production,only preliminary talks,and I happen to be privy to them. Joker will be in the next film but his role will be much smaller. There are intensive talks right now about recasting the role, as you can imagine. The central theme of the film will be redemption......for both Gordon and Batman. Wayne's arc will be his coming to grips with his role as Gotham's savior. Gordon will come to grips with being the only one who knows the truth about Batman's sacrifice. No villain has been decided upon as yet though Catwoman is being discussed as a violent vigilante who stepsupin Batman's absence. Wayne will have to hunt her downRemember you read it here first.

-
Two-Face should return and I have my doubts about him being killed at the end. Aaron Eckhart did such a great job as Dent and Two Face that he should get a full movie to play the Two-Face role. You can't just have Two-Face on screen for like 15 minutes and that's it. He needs to get his revenge. Joker is gone, locked away. Harvey Dent is dead however Gotham knows nothing about Two-Face.
-
But can't see it happening as it doesn't lend itself to future Batman movies. Studios and George Lucas (yes I am a bitter Star Wars fan) just want to keep milking it as much as possible. <p> Would be interesting to see what the studio would do, if Nolan said "I either will make my movie or will walk". If it was Fox, they would be asking him to close the door on the way out.
-
If Nolan doesn't return can anyone honestly belive they don't go ahead and try and cash in and make a 3rd one anyways without Nolan/Bale. It would be a huge disaster. Sort of like X-Men 3 failed but a million times bigger due to the huge success of The Dark Knight.

...should be this mysterious figure who turns out to be Mr. Reese from TDK, how is that a mystery? Almost everyone here has been begging for that. <P> That is why I suggest the Riddler should really be....Bruce Wayne. He creates an alter ego to fulfill his need to be a detective, because that part of him has been almost completely avoided so far in all the movies.
-
Doesnt work as well for sequels, or youth appeal. Getting kids to buy senior citizen Batman toys?

I am not really an anime fan, but I liked Howl's Moving Castle, Princess Monoke, & My Neighbor Totoro, so I will probably check that out.
-
Fuck. I am only on my third beer and I am already getting this incoherent?
-
Could work. <p> In Nolanverse we certainly don't need a costumed character. <p> Someone had suggested before that it be the alternate personality of a private detective who has been hired (by a new mob boss/city mayor - Penguin) to find and capture Batman. He would of course be completely unaware of this alter. Also ties into the theme of identity which is explored with say Bruce Wayne/Batman and Two Face, someone who is completely unaware of their darker side. <p> Obviously not nearly as ground breaking as having it be Bruce Wayne, which would be a Sixth Sense-esque twist. But would be interesting that its a detective rather than simply a jilted employee or something similar.
-
Have said before that he should be a good looking guy, who is wealthy and socially prominent like Bruce, but is involved in the underworld as well. Called the Penguin, because of his obsession with wearing Tuxs. Makes a good comparisson with Bruce Wayne in terms of having it all and then what you choose to do with it<p>

One of the best mindfucks a game has played on me since Eternal Darkness.
-
as the mindbender that was Nolan installing rumors of his third batman saga rumor installment.
-
I actually mentioned the Bruce Wayne thing as a lark (which I am sure you realize and are just tugging my chain), but personally, while I want to villains to be re-imagined, I don't want them to stray to far from their original versions. <P> Joker was portrayed as a psychotic mass-murdering, anarchistic clown, much like he was in Batman #1 (the comic, not the movie). He wasn't depicted as a super-scientist or a master of martial arts. That is how I feel about characters like Penguin, Riddler and Catwoman. <P> The idea of a good-looking Penguin just doesn't appeal to me (but a freaky, Danny Devito style also doesn't appeal to me). And a PI Riddler doesn't really seem like the Riddler to me either. If he you are going to make such drastic change to the characters, why not just use different characters? <P> Personally, I think their is something fundamentally and elemental about those early characters, and would prefer Penguin and Riddler to Black Mask, Bane, Mr. Zsasz or any of the other modern villains.

why was he always throwing up and wearing greasy pajamas? The best Penguins were when he was in a classy looking long tux and was totally spic and span like a character from Mad Men for cripesakes. the golden age Penguin or the animted show were good, the 60s show one was even better.
-
I never got the anti-Penguin people. Yeah, he is depicted in a lame way in the comics now, but that says more about the writers and readers nowadays than it does about the character. He is the classic criminal mastermind/"gentleman" thief (and I use that term loosely). He is the anti-Joker, where the Joker represents the chaotic, anarchistic side of crime, he represents the organized, professional criminal. <P>
-
... but they need to make a totally different style film. And after playing arkham asylum i just can't escape the feeling that batman in a die hard situation from the first scene til the last wouldn't be the best approach
-
they could jsut leave it for a few years and start all new again. not so much a re-boot, but more a transition to new bond style. I'm sort of over Bale

Conti - no problem, you are a gentlemen (which is rare)
by Miyamoto_Musashi
Will be interesting to see if they come into the Nolanverse. <p> I think most characters are reimagined over time, Nolan is very different to Burton in style and vision, one made fantasy movies and one has made crime movies, and for me I still prefer the crime version of Batman. <p> Think Nolan and Burton are at opposite ends of the spectrum, and looking back at Batman comics over time, its interesting to see where the different portrayls lie on that spectrum and which you most prefer. <p> Whilst they can be fun with their gadgets and costumes, and interesting stories, what makes them compelling and allows us the audience to really connect is their human qualities. For me with comic book movies the risk is too much focus on style rather than substance. <p> The human qualities, weaknesses etc is why I still find Superman one of the hardest comic book/movie characters to really care about. He just seems too perfect for me. <p> Iron Man worked because it was about Tony Stark, and of course this is where the script focused and RDJ brilliantly potrayed him. <p> Will be interesting to see Green Lantern, they really need to focus it on Hal, and think about how the ring will be used to avoid it coming across as silly.

Miyamoto, you forgot "pleasant", "handsome" and "virile"
by Continentalop
But it is funny that you bring up Superman, because I am probably in the minority here who wants to see Superman relaunched. I love the idea of making a more human Superman - not a wimpier, angst ridden Superman, but one that feels more like a real person who was born with Godlike powers. I want the William Defoe/Last Temptation of Christ Superman, not the King of Kings/Passion of the Christ Superman. <P> And I am also in the minority of wanting Lex Luthor on the screen again. He is the most easily adaptable villain depending on what story he is in or what audience you are presenting him to - just make him unbelievably evil and no Real Estate scam and I would be in Nirvana.
-
that the rumors he's working on Jaws 8 are false. Darn. :(
-
He personally hates that movie. <P> Oh, he understands it is popular, put him on the map and was one of his better made movies. But he has said in numerous movies that it was living hell making it and he can't even watch the film or discuss it without thinking of all the production nightmares. <P> Is it no coincidence that he really hasn't made another movie that takes place in an aquatic locale? I don't think so. I don't think Spielberg can ever be convinced to get back on the boat, no matter what.
-
Are you all. Oh well, then I have a challenge for you. If you are friends from way back, and share a dinner table with him, or even have any kind of access to him whatsoever etc. etc. as you people have claimed then tell me, where in the UK does Nolan live when he is over here from LA?? And "London" is not specific enough.<p> I warn you, I WILL know if you are lying, because Christoper Nolan's local pub is the same as mine. I didn't even know it was him until the landlord pointed him out to me quietly.<p> He was often in the beer garden reading a newspaper this past summer with his family.
-
I agree I want Superman to be on the edge in respect of grappling with trying to help v control. In his view he knows that he could get so much more done and changed with his amazing powers, but effectively he would have to become a dictator. How does he deal with those thoughts. <p> Luthor is obviously very jealous of Supes and his powers, he wants to become a "god", and doesn't have those same reservations about losing his humanness, becoming a dictator etc. <p> We as an audience will obviously never be able to connect with Supes's godlike powers but morale quandries, self determination, independence, always feeling out of place, can't truly connect with anyone (ignoring characters like Supergirl), this is stuff we can connect with, and how he as a "god" deals with this is interesting. <p> Of course we also need to be entertained so need to balance it out with some great action.
-
Nolan should consider using Batman: Year 2 or Batman: the Cult as source material. Both address some serious themes which I think would appeal to this series of movies.
-
They have already touched on those themes in TDK. <P> The idea of Batman being compelled to kill but resisting (Joe Chill in Year 2, Joker in TDK) and the idea of someone who believes Batman doesn't go far enough (The Reaper in Year 2 & Two-Face in TDK) have already been covered. Doing Year 2 would add nothing new to the Batman movies - Nolan has already touched those themes to some degree. <P> I have not read Batman: the Cult though, so maybe there is something there.
-

No big secret that the 3rd Batman is about Redemption
by toadkillerdog
Nolan likes his Themes - pounded into your skull with no subtlety - and plot inconsistencies be damned. i.e. Batman dark knight, Harvey white knight, but white knight is actually dark and dark knight is actually white. And bad plot and writing nonsense be damned! This is theme I came up with and I will stick to it regardless of how nonsensical it is, because after all, if it does not make sense I can always fall back on ' it is only a movie about a costume wearing vigilante'. <p> If Nolan cared half as much about the writing as he did the theme, dark Knight would have been a classic. But that aint gonna happen n the third movie, because just like Mikey Bay's movies, why change what makes you rich? <p> And honestly, can you fault the guy?
-
Who watches TDK and skips to only the Joker scenes now? Because BALE is HORRIBLE as Batman.
-
is the only guy to really bring EMOTION into the cowl.
-
I think Keaton was the best Bruce Wayne because he showed the truly precarious balancing act Wayne had to maintain on his sanity as well as his alter-ego. But that was only in the first Batman, it was not explored any further. Keaton was just too small to portray the Batman with any realism, regardless the padding. Reminded me of the time Tony Stark 'cured' the Hulk, only to have puny Bruce Banner turn green and spout the famous 'Hulk Smash', and almost break his foot when he smashed it into the ground thinking he was the Hulk. Just too puny and powerless, but still had the mindset.<p> Bale brings nothing but physical presence to the character. He adds zip as either Wayne or Batman, but he looks better in the suit.
-
Is that he just felt REAL. I felt like he WAS Batman and he WAS Bruce Wayne. One of the best examples is when he pretty much loses it at the end of BAT '89 and says, "I'm gonna kill you" to The Joker. He's lost it. He doesn't give a shit and it's played perfectly by Keaton. Even the funny delivery of, "Excuse me...you ever dance with the devil in the pale moon light?" and then punches him right into the bell. Great stuff. Didn't get ANYTHING like that from Bale-Man in TDK. "WHERE ARE THEY!?" WHEERREE ARRRE THEEYYY?!"
-
How can I stand 2 stay where I am? Poor butterfly who don't understand Why can't I fly away in a special sky?<P> If I don't find my destiny soon, I'll die in your arms under the cherry moon <P> I want to live life to the ultimate high Maybe I'll die young like heroes die Maybe I'll kiss u some wild special way If nobody kills me or thrills me soon, I'll die in your arms under the cherry moon <P> If that's alright <P> Lovers like us dear are born 2 die If they don't find us what will we do? I guess we'll make love under the cherry moon I'll die in your arms under the cherry moon
-
They would have allowed BATMAN to age...and become THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNING...Keaton would have played him...and can you imagine the police scene if it had been KEATON vs HEATH?! Jumpin Jesus!
-
But as good as that was (and hands down he was the best), he just could not overcome the lack of physical presence. And I also have issues with Burtons' directorial style. I prefer what Nolan has done as far as placing bat,an in a far more 'realistic' setting. Of course that comes with pitfalls, because the closer you get to depicting him in a real world, as opposed to the comic book/fantasy, the more problems you face when you get too outlandish, and the more backlash you will get when you paint yourself into a corner, and your only recourse is to simply say 'hey it's a movie based on a comic book'
-
The one thing that bugs me about BAT FILMS is when they try and get TOO REAL. Remember how LAME it looked in the flashbacks of BATMAN FOREVER when we see BATS jumping in the courtroom to try and save Dent from getting burned by acid? LAME. That's why I liked how Burton's Bat was always seen at night. In TDK it seemed a bit odd for Batman to be seen in so much light at the police station. And how awkward must it have been before that scene? I mean, if you want to get REAL about it..."Hey, um, Batman...we're just going to have you go in this room...and um...hide...we'll bring the Joker in in about 5 minutes."
-
He was set to be TWO FACE. Not sure WHY they jacked that one up and went with the freak of the week JONES. If THE FUGITIVE had never come out we would never have seen him in that role. DAMN.
-
Fucking sheeple creeping out of the woodwork to begin retrospective Bale as the Bat bashing. His casting was, and remains, a fantastic piece of work in this franchise that is full of fantastic pieces of work.
-
not necessarily...i think JONES had a relationship (not that way) with schumacher at that point and WB liked what they each did with the client...yawns for me though..
-
his evolving into batman is still in process boys...
-
was WAY too over the top in an already too over the top film. When Batman ISN'T on screen and it's Kilmer Wayne I think BATMAN FOREVER has potential...and I think it would have been great if Keaton had stayed on...at least it would have felt more like a BATMAN film in the 90's...instead of a weird excuse to use blacklights and try to cram Robin in. That sequence where Alfred sees MASTER DICK doing laundry and THAT'S how he decides to make him a suit??? Please. The BEST casting from the New BAT FILMS has to be CAINE as Alfred. Brilliant. Freeman is also very strong. But I will still BALE BASH because he goes TOO FAR into Cookie Monster as BATMAN. Keaton was creepy the way he whispered his lines...his scenes with The Penguin in RETURNS are great.
-
KEATON and BURTON should do a RVIAL BATMAN FILM! Just Like Connery did to the BOND boys in the early 80's. How wild would it be to have THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS??? With KEATON back in the BURTON GOTHAM? And don't say BURTON wouldn't do it...of course he would! He did PLANET OF THE APES & CHARLIE & THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY for fucks sake! Can you imagine how cool it would be to see an aging BATMAN in a crumbling GOTHAM...coming back to dust off the cowl? AND TO HEAR THE BEST COMIC BOOK SCORE EVER from Danny Elfman!? I love going on youtube and seeing vids that people have done using the Elfman music on the Nolan films.
-
to intimidate his lesser foes...you have some behemoth running around in a giant bat costume..you have to be otherworldly and menacing..otherwise the illusion rubs off and hes "just a guy, so bring more guns next time"
-
The way Keaton talked was creepy. Kilmer was too cocky...Clooney? He was just Clooney. That film should never be referenced...ever. Keaton spoke in a creepy whisper and had anger behind what he said. Bale does it with just pure anger...or when he's relaxed he sounds like a heavy smoker at age 70.
-
HELL FUCK YES! He was the best BATMAN until Bale took over why not bring him back now that he's to old for the role of BATMAN as a bad guy! I love it! Talk about Brilliant. I bet that would put asses in seats for sure! That would make more money then The Dark Knight at the boxoffice. If Johnny Depp got cast as The Mad Hatter it would be funny since he's playing almost the same role in Alice in Wonderland with Tim Burton.
-
KEATON AS THE MAD HATTER! Let's keep that one alive so people involved actually MAKE IT HAPPEN!

yet he still broods...hes around yes men all the time..his BATS does sound forced but angry? not really..yes hes trying to scare the shit outta people and perhaps get info from them..hes not a subtle man to ask kindly.

Thanks man. I'm not exactly some "full of shit fanboy" or some jerk-off just starting shit on threads. I'm a huge reader of this site and have always used it as reference materail in my prof. life.
-
Think about the BAT EYES. Batman always has heavy makeup on his eyes. BATMAN rocks the guy-liner...but will they ever solve the problem of HOW the make up gets there or how he takes it off? Think about the end of BATMAN RETURNS and how LAME it looked right before Keaton took off the cowl.
-
Notice the plastic cape and the bleeding blue paint... and the PLASTIC BODY???
-
after saving 50 people, the commish's kid, and kiboshing The Joker. His sins must be redeemed.<P>Stupid Nolan, talky, over-written bull-shit.
-
Months and months at the plastic surgeon's, and when he didn't get results there, he found an action figure factory in China to buff out a few scratches.<P>It's his money!<P>Don't judge.

Bale only has the virtue of Wayne being written correctly. Kilmer had to find that himself. Which is why he's awesome.
-
Steal the world's resources for centuries, using unpaid native slaves or negligibly-paid laborers to do it. Spread the wealth out among fat white people and call it an economy. Create taxes and debt and figure out a way to profit from the exchange. Prop it all up with World Bank and IMF. Tsk, tsk at the impoverished and convince them they're just too lazy and dull to eat any pie. Condemn an arbitrary chunk of the world's citizenry to poverty - not coincidentally, the chunk living on the land you've long-since exploited. Buy your daughter a Ferrari on her sixteenth birthday and watch her drive it into a tree. Teach your douchebag son the secret handshake on his eighteenth and congratulate him for the size of his ball-sac. Lather, rinse, repeat.

it just seemed so jokey--im sure it really had nothing to do with kilmer...he is the fucking iceman.

To give BATMAN a reason to go nuts. We've seen him BEGIN...seen him lose his love...and now he'll lose the only parent figure he's known for most of his life...at the hands of THE RIDDLER...played by Chrispoher Walken.

Not bad. I'll do my part for the League. Subs, I love the idea of KEATON saying, "Let's get nuts" if he was in BAT3

Holy shit. It makes perfect sense, but my GL guy didn't inform me.<P> Ok, Moose is Rocket Red, then.<P>Excuse me, I have to make a phone call.
-
Then, Hipperson has to be somebody other than Hawkman.

Not one of the red shirt equivalents manning the teleporters I hope.
-
I mean, if you look at BAT '89 and RETURNS and compare them to BB & TDK...both Jokers "take off their make up" so to speak. Both Jokers kill an organized crime leader with a writing device. Both Batmobiles get trashed in the 2nd flick. Both Jokers start a line, then pause, show their face, and finish the rest of the line with a big smile. Both 2nd films establish that Gordon and Batman are a team.

If only for two issues, when he quit in disgust over how the team was comporting themselves. <P> I learned the word 'comport' from the Giffen-era JL, btw.

They do have that scene, Subs. Forgot about that. Keaton in the sky and Bale on the pod. Good stuff. There's a youtube video that shows both Jokers as if they were walking down the same street towards each other. It's cut like shit but it gives you the general idea.
-
Really, it'd be over in about half a second. I don't care if Bats has a Kryptonite butt plug. Supes could still tear him in half.
-
We need long enough to be the villain we want?

The Backpedalback is sorely lacking in the female department. I'd like to crown a 'Fire' and 'Ice', but no can do, sadly.

...as a alternate version of Booster Gold and Blue Beetle. <P> But, I do that a lot.
-
Ted, there was a 'Superboy'? Surely DC Comics died when they invented him. Sounds like a Scrappy Doo scenario to me!
-
It comes down to stylistic choice...and again, bringing the fantasy closer to reality, even while including the MAN OF STEEL, Superman. <P>DISTRICT 9 is simply a point of reference, in bridging the gap between fantasy and reality...and Nolan can successfully blend the influence of both DISTRICT 9 and Michael Mann, while also being true to himself and fans. <P>THIS is what I believe is THE BEST direction to go, while continuing the theme of escalation.
-
One of them is a zombie.<P>Or maybe not.<P>One of them is a maniac. The other one is back-from-the-dead-not-a-zombie. The other one lives in the future or some shit.<P>Like I said, fuck DC Comics.<P>With Marvel Comics' flaccid penis.
-
There's been at least THREE different Superboys over the course of the last 50 years or so. <P>But only one of them pulls the arms off Teen Titans, and he's supposedly from OUR earth. <P> Fuck Dan DiDio with a Kryptonite butt plug.

Tom Hardy as Bane. Brilliantly evil in the miniseries "The Take", and he bulked up for the film "Bronson". Has the physicality and the acting chops to pull it off!

Batman goes back to being Batman. Nightwing goes back to being Nightwing. And, Superman's biological son becomes the "new" Superman.<P>Mark my words.
