Catwoman and Bane confirmed for TDK Rises!!!

[devilof76]

You're right.

I was lost, but now I'm found. I was blind, but now I see. How sweet the Batman movie that saved a wretch like me.

 

[King Darkness]

You're welcome

"Haaalellujah!!!!!!!!!"

 

[blakus939]

you're too negative + you're repeating history all over again (heath ledger joker)

That's what they tell me + I acknowledged and admitted that

 

[superado]

Interesting selection of Bane as the villian in this movie, very curious on Nolan's take on Bane.

I'm sure it'll be more method acting and less reliance on special effects.

 

[batfan08]

Here is how I picture Nolan's Bane:The anti-Batman;physically in top form,utterly brilliant,but mentally unstable with a drug addiction to boot.This could work to their advantage if they take it in this direction,as critics seem to like well acted portrayals of lunatic junkies.

 

[The Batman Professor]

In my perspective it means: conservatives are for censorship of nude, censorship of cursing and deny the evolution theory.
Your basic standard American way of thinking.

Does that help ya?

You're confusing conservatives with fundamentalist Christians, who happen to push their repressive belief system onto political debate.

It's the same rubric as knowing that not all liberals are atheists and Marxists.

Does that help you?

Why would I do that? It's not like making a better movie than TDK is impossible. Batman Begins was better, so why would the man who made both be incapable?

I'm inclined to believe that despite TDK having my two favorite Batman villains, Begins was a better movie. Why? Because it focused on Batman. TDK was great and had great interpretations of The joker and Harvey Dent, but the story was more about the "War On Crime" getting out of control. Which was what the second chapter needed.

But if TDKR focuses on Batman again, his psychological battle of dealing with his duel identities while being hunted down by every cop in the city (who knows, Gordon may question his antics after awhile also), I think it could top TDK. And the kid in me is saying "YES! Batman will have someone to fight!!" I'm first to admit the choices of villains doesn't have me as excited as say The Joker, Scarecrow or Two-Face, but as long as they work for the story Nolan is trying to tell, I am down for it.

For the most part, BB and TDK fit together so well that they're a whole, rather than two segments.

I agree with this 100%.

I'm excited for this next one. Nolan has gotten much better with filming fight scenes since begins...It'll be nice to see a return to batman.

As for bane..
I don't see him as a drug addict or even steroids or the venom pr anything like that in this. The character hasn't used that for like 16 years now and I think it is sort of a silly ___ick. I think it is more than enough for him to be absolutely brilliant and absolutely strong as hell.

I know the two things I want to see batman do in this movie is to be challenged as a detective, to give proof that the batman thinks of everything, and to see him in some gritty fights.

Bane should serve to enhance that perfectly. Catwoman may make him soft, and bane will beat the hell out of him for it.

Gay. Hathaway makes me sick. Rental it is.

I have no doubt this franchise will follow in the footsteps of the Terminator films.

T1 = Amazing film
T2 = Better than the original for some on par for others
T3 = Utter ____
T4 = Hang me

 

[agonistes86]

Don't know where else to post this as I don't think it deserves its own thread yet, but since this announcement is the reason I started it, and this is the collectibles forum, I might as well post it here.

Started my first sculpt, Bane, some days ago in between breaks of studying for my exams (nice way to relax BTW).
I think it's a good sculpt to be my first, as I don't have to sculpt any small details like eyes or mouth (I'm going for a look like in my sig, but trying to stay realistic).
It's still a WIP obviously, but I think I got the basic shape right.

 

[Maglor]

I don't want to ____ Michelle Pfeiffer but she was iconic as Catwoman in BR.

I do.

 

[Warden]

Hahahahahaha classic.

 

[Sachiel]

"Haaalellujah!!!!!!!!!"

Is that from 'Batman: Turn off the Dark' ?

 

[Rorywan]

I do.

Actually now that I think of it, I do to. I was just making a point, badly...

 

[weltmaster]

Doesn't help me. This statement is more patently retarded than your original one.

so there is no censorship what so ever in the US?
Funny example about the trailer song for "The Social Network"

Scala, the choir that provided the title song for the movie, a cover from Radiohead, the song Creep, they had to alter the text so you cant hear the f-word.

That and the censorship on the board struck me how conservative it can be in the States. Just saying, why is it good for

Does that help you?

I didn't ask

Euhm, since T3 => another director + screenwriter.
Makes a lot of difference.

Most good trilogies go with the same artistic team that all the way!
Hm, what was the franchise where the first 2 movies were awsome but since the 3rd one it got downhill due to nipples?

Just saying, there are a lot of examples of bad trilogies where you can easily point out WHY it went downhill since the 3rd movie.

ALL good trilogies however are good because they have the same team behind it from start to finish.
Lord of the Rings
Back to the Future
Godfather

ALL bad trilogies have at least one thing in common, they switched and switched.
Terminator is a great example. Legendary first 2 movies, by the 3rd one you could see the magic was gone together with the director.

SOME trilogies where they switched from director or writer, brought out some descent trilogies.
So it aint always bad.
Best example: Star Wars (although Lucas did follow up closely), the first trilogy was more than descent.
Wich makes we wonder why he did such a bad job in the new trilogy when he witnessed the making of the first trilogy from the first row...
Alien, different films, different directors, but not considered a disaster (talking about the first 3 only)
X-men: disputable, imo I liked the 3rd one.


Since the Nolan movies are all directed by Chris, written by Chris + Goyer + sometimes his brother, screenplayed by the same bunch.
I would assume this will be a trilogy that will be considered a good one
But there are exceptions:
oeps, the new Star Wars trilogy, can it be any more worse.
Same director + writer + producer, he had everything and he still did manage to ____ up.
Spider-man...nuff said, why why why did he do that 3rd movie in such a way?

Actually now that I think of it, I do to. I was just making a point, badly...

yeah, you should leave the point making to me

 

[Voorhees27]

Fair enough, I hope you're right and I DO trust Nolan but Hathaway??? Couldn't they get some cute blonde instead? Thats how I picture Catwoman. Someone like Charlize Theron or Malin Akerman?

 

[meanstreak]

Anne Hathaway is a good actress? I don't understand the hate?
