slothian Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 I just watched this again. Still good stuff, but I'm starting to err towards the idea that Dent probably is meant to be dead. DAMN YOU, DUBS!!!!! Honestly, I don't think Depp would be in a third Batman installment, especially not as The Riddler. I think that more for who the director is and how he picks actors for his roles. Whether Nolan admires Depp or not, HE would have to feel that Depp was the right guy for The Riddler before he'd get approached. I'm guessing his name's cropping up because he's Johnny Depp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NightAngle04 Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 I just checked over at ImDb and TDK was once again the number 1 movie, beating out Pineapple Express which I think had a bad opening. Anyway I see TDK breaking over 500 mil, but it will sadly not break Titantic's record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 The Bat-film, now in its fourth week of release, rang up another $26million, claiming the top ranking and besting Seth Rogen's stoner movie 'Pineapple Express'. The film's domestic box office now stands at $441.5 million. The sturdy performance moves 'The Dark Knight' up to the #3 spot on the all-time domestic box office chart, trailing behind 'Titanic' and 'Star Wars'. Give its earnings pace, it seems likely that the film will reach the #2 spot in the next few weeks, but probably won't sink James Cameron's historic tragic romance in the long run. The movie is also now the #2 higest-grossing PG-13 movie of all time, again trailing 'Titanic'. http://www.comics2film.com/index.php?a=story&b=35098 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 Brian Austin Green Just Putting It Out There That He'd Play The Riddler In The Next Batman Movie By Alex Blagg Once they finally finish counting all their money, the producers of the Batman franchise will find themselves facing an epic challenge: figuring out a way to find a new villain worthy of following Heath Ledger's now legendary performance as The Joker. Names like Johnny Depp and Philip Seymour Hoffman have already been tossed around, but perhaps Christopher Nolan should consider looking for his next supervillain in a less obvious and sensible place like, say, the lesser cast-members of the original Beverly Hills 90210. Because it just so happens that in a recent interview with MTV (via Vulture), Green puts it out there that he'd be willing to be involved with the project if, you know, someone were to call and ask him: "I would love to be the Riddler," Brian Austin Green told MTV News. [...] Green knows it's a long shot, but despite his role on "Terminator," "I'd like to be in the next 'Batman,' even though I am busy killing machines and people," he said. (We hope he just means on the show). "I hope to God that they don't try to replace Heath and have the Joker," Green added. "And Two-Face is gone." So they need a new villain, and the Riddler makes sense," he said. Not that he's thought it so far ahead that he actually knows what he'd want to do with the Riddler, however. "That's impossible to answer now," Green said. "That would take years of preparation. It's tough. Heath set the bar at a new level, which I think is fantastic for comic book lovers and movie lovers. He changed the face of what people expect out of those films. If you watch the old ones, I mean, they were great for what they were, having Danny Elfman's music, but this is a new level." Perhaps the most puzzling riddle of all is what imaginary fantasy world David Silver's currently living in that he would find it necessary to pontificate, on record, about what he would do with a role you or I probably have more chance being cast in (though to be fair, he might just be under the impression that Joel Schumacher is still helming the franchise, in which case this suggestion would be perfectly reasonable). Otherwise, the only way this could be anymore crazy is if he also suggested that Shannen Doherty show up as Catwoman, or Riddle Me This, Riddle Me That, maybe Robin could be played by Nat (that dude who used to run The Peach Pit).

Guest Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 For all that doubted me on Two Face being dead or not. Aaron Eckhart has had a good summer. He can take credit for some of The Dark Knight's awesomeness, with his Harvey Dent/Two-Face baddie getting almost as freaky as Heath Ledger's Joker. But $500 million later, we have to ask him: Two-Face could survive that deadly fall at the construction site, right? "No," Eckhart told E! News at the junket for Towelhead yesterday. "He is dead as a doornail. He ain't comin' back, baby. No." The fans want him back, and the actor wants to come back, but ultimately director Christopher Nolan is the bad parent. "I asked Chris that question. He goes, 'You're dead.' Before I could even get the question out of my mouth, 'Hey Chris, am I...' 'You're dead.' " But death has never been a problem for comic book characters! "I'm not coming back," he said. "Unfortunately, Heath was supposed to go along." Eckhart knows, too, that there are plenty of Batvillains waiting for spots in the sequels. He's even jealous about one rumor. "I heard Angelina Jolie was going to be Catwoman," he said. "I thought that was a great idea. I'd like to be in that one." Oh, but sorry. Didn't you hear? You're dead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 The only one I'd be able to pull off, looks wise, is Calendar Man. Of course there's that dream I had where I was Batman and Kate Beckinsale playing as Talia Al Ghul... ... I've said too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 Warner Bros. Pictures plans to rerelease blockbuster The Dark Knight in January, the height of Academy Awards voting season, says The Hollywood Reporter. "It's just a matter of bringing it back as a reminder for people," a source told the trade. Warners domestic distribution president Dan Fellman acknowledged ongoing talks with IMAX executives about the prospect of restoring the film to some number of giant-screen venues in January. It's uncertain if The Dark Knight also will reappear in conventional theaters at that point. To date, the film has earned about $513 million domestically and $440 million internationally, including more than $55 million in IMAX grosses. The DVD and Blu-ray Disc are expected to hit stores in December. http://www.superherohype.com/news/batmannews.php?id=7658 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackFetch Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 I honestly don't get re-releasing it a month after the dvd comes out. A lot of people won't go see it if they can just watch it at home. Only the hardcore fans will go again. It has to be just for the Oscars.

The Feral One Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 You'd need a television show to cover all of Bruce's training. A movie only has so much time, and Batman Begins did an excellent job covering enough of his past to convey where he acquired some of his skills. How long of a movie was 'Batman Begins'? Somewhere around two and a half hours or so? If they made a three hour Batman movie, they could cover the origin of the Batman within a hour or less. It could have been done right in 'Batman Begins' but Miss Dawes got in the way of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted September 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 In the Spider-Man 4 thread you said you wanted them to show "Bruce learning from detectives, manhunters and ninja masters," but that would require much more than a single hour.

The Feral One Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 More specifically, he should be shown learning from Willie Dogget, Ducard and Master Kirigi. That should be able to be done within an hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 If one really wanted to, you could make several Bruce Wayne movies. There is so much material that can be used from the pre-Batman Bruce Wayne timeline. It is impossible to show all of that in one movie and still have time for Batman, villains and the like. I thought Batman Begins did a good job of showing enough of Bruce's training. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Feral One Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 If they didn't attach a love interest such as they did by adding Miss Dawes, then they could have shown Bruce training in a faithful manner. It's not just the origin of the Batman that they screwed up, there are massive screw ups throughtout the film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elsewhere you've said Talia should have been in the film, but you're also saying Bruce shouldn't have had a lover. You can't have it both ways.
