Catwoman and Bane confirmed for TDK Rises!!!

[Alex Logan]

Alright, this even further crappified the movie. I'm going in with low expectations.

Nolan, what the heck are you doing to us?!

With everything Nolan's done and you still doubt the guy?

yeah but the Joker is iconic...he is the ultimate villain which is reason enough. Catwoman and Bane just seem like very B list villains. I know some people dig Catwoman and would rank her high on a list of Bat villains but she just dosent seem to fit into Nolans world. As for Bane....there are no words. eeuuuurghhhhcchhhh

How many Batman stories have you read?

The ignorance of people on these boards astounds me sometimes.

For Bane, he is highly intelligent; in "Bane of the Demon", Ra al Ghul says that Bane "has a mind equal to the greatest he has known." In prison, he taught himself various scientific disciplines equal to the level of understanding of leading experts in those fields. He knows six active languages and at least two additional arcane and dead ones, those mentioned are Spanish, English, Urdu, Persian, and Latin. The "Bane of the Demon" storyline reveals that he has a photographic memory. Within one year, he is able to deduce Batman's secret identity.

Right up there with Ras in terms of villainy and definitely the "mastermind" someone was posting all over the place. You need to understand that Schumacher raped the character.

For Anne Hathaway, she was an Oscar nominated/Golden Globes nominated actress for a film in 2008, she has shown she can do comedy, period pieces, wacky films (look at Alice in Wonderland), dramatic pieces, Havoc despite being best known for seeing the goods was a pretty heavy film amongst others. Not to mention she is attractive and will fill out the catsuit well especially since I have a feeling that Nolan will give Bane a lot of attention in terms of looks but that Catwoman will be closer to the comics.

I have no issues with these villain selections and those who are up on their Batman history shouldn't either. As for the castings, Hardy seems fine for Bane. Bane was in prison and huge.

I don't see the issue.

Atleast someone gets it.

Nolan, what the heck are you doing to us?!

change your avatar and sig with a Joker, because who the hell is this joker!?

You talk as if you have already seen the movie and considered it a fail, however you dont have to be a genuis to notice that the movie hasnt even been filmed yet and the script is not even final.

So where the hell do you get it from? beats me
but a guy saying about an unwritten movie that its crap and bashes the director already (when that same director already made 2 good movies) doesnt deserve much credibility

Hathaway = the new Heath Ledger in terms of initial negative fan reaction. 99% of us thought the same thing with Heath and now 99% of us think he was freaking amazing. Nolan casted Hathaway for a reason guys. It will work. This isn't a new Rachel here.

Yeah you're probably right, I was just hoping for a cute/sexy blonde as the Catwoman.

I just gotta say that this is one of the greatest gifs I have ever seen.

I have to seriously dispute with all of you guys who are bashing the movie before it comes out. This movie is not a movie to profit on toys, the director always tries to out do himself. Nolan is a person with passion who always has his head thinking about what the next step is before he is even done with the current project. I truly believe that Nolan will give this trilogy a proper close.

I didn't ask

Of course you didn't, because like most libtards, you think you know it all. Unfortunately bad grammar and spelling diminish your argument. But fear not, The Professor is here to enlighten the ignorant. The stupid however, are on their own.

The problem with discourse in the US is that both extremes want to stifle free speech. The far right uses religious doctrine, while the far left uses political correctness. Common sense is lost in the process.

Since I really doubt that little kids are on this site reading the posts of a bunch of guys _____ and moan about toys and movies, I have no problem with the posting of Ms. Hathaway's glorious puppies. Again, it's not a liberal or conservative thing, just common sense.

Back on topic, I don't get the Hathaway hate either.

Exactly right. You want to see a movie out to sell toys and maximize profits at the exclusion of all else, then look no further than Sony's ill-advised reboot of Spider-Man.

omg Okay, here goes:


Agreed, Pfeiffer is a very good villain and the best Catwoman portrayal to date!
However, with every now take on something classic its always a sentimental thing
Your arrogant reaction towards both Heath Leger and Anne Hathaway shows this clearly.

Agreed, in my eyes Nicholson was just being Jack Nicholson, being a clown in a clownsuit.
Imo, it was good enough to come over as a Joker, since the joker was acting clownish too.
So, agreed, I could enjoy him as the joker!

Agreed, I didnt like the scarecrow "villain" as much as all the other villains we've seen untill that point. Not so much because of Cillian Murphy, but just because of the screen time...

Agree, I love the myth, the mystery and especially the operettic atmosphere that Batman Returns had.
But the Nolan films are a whoooole different approach to the Batman universe, so you can not and you should not try to compare them with each other.

What I don't agree with is, your arrogant reaction towards a performance that has already proven itself.
You are not being sentimental towards the Burton movies, you are just being plain arrogant
Just because you dont like it dont mean you gotta flame the guy, its called personal taste!
Ow and what you got against "indie actors"?
You're the type too dumb to look and appreciate a indie film; perhaps the only kind of movies your brain can consume are easy simple mind blockbuster movies with a script written by George Lucas with toys in his mind.
No wonder you dislike the Nolan films (yes its clear) cause they were actually kinda clever for the comic book genre huh...


You being arrogant can be shown easily by your reaction towards both Heath Leger and Anne Hathaway shows this clearly.
Stop being an arrogant ____ and give them a break.
The first one already proved out to be iconic, and the 2nd person didnt even had the chance to show her performance, so what an idiot you are.
Ow and the fact Ledger actually won an oscar made him a bad joker huh?
Well I guess you missed to see his performance or you were too focused on Jack the clown Nicholson that you missed Ledger interpretation in wich he did his very best NOT to copy Jack the clown Nicholson?
You should respect the fact he did not copy Jack the clown Nicholson and made the charactor his own!
What did you expect from Ledger when he was going to play the Joker? Another clown?
Ow yeah I forgot you are a blockbuster freak only so you would expect a predictable performance...
Last thing, however great Nicholson was and still is and will always be as an actor, he didnt do ____ that was special with his Joker interpretation!
He was being himself but a little bit more silly, waauw, that must have been so hard for him to do as a 12 time academy nominee and 3 time academy winner.

In real life I would have been much more affraid from the Ledger joker than from the Nicholson Joker.
With Nicholson you didnt had the feeling he was gonna do something to you personally, he would just let one of his goons do something and laugh a bit in the background.
But with Ledger, now thats something different.
You got the penthouse scene with the knife coming out of his freakin shoe all of a sudden.
You got the skyscraper scene with the bat and the dogs, look at him go!


Just because you like Jack Nicholsons joker, dont give you any validity to diss Ledgers performance and Anne Hathaway performance, wich hasten even started to film.
You lose every ____ing credibility by bashing somebody even before they started filming something.


Get outta here!

Lots of words

I'm getting like you King. Best I can do with posts like that now is skim and scan.

DiFabio, It's a discussion of who wants to remove boobies from this forum.

Sorry to stray off the constant second guessing of C. Nolan, but I don't like the blanket assertion that conservatives are pro-censorship.

I know.

Boobs > Politics.

 

[batfan08]

what is it, cant handle the fact that the not everyone shares the same opinion of nolans movies? well deal with it. not everyone thought his movies were grandiose masterpieces of fine art. in fact they fail as batman adapatations. there more like crime thrillers that just happens to have batman in it. i understand that most of you on here probably love these movies, maybe even worship them, which is why usually stay away. im only here typically to see progress on the hot toys version of what i consider the best batman of all time, michael keaton.

in fact, you can view my assesment of TDK here:

One thing to remember, though, is that Nolan historically hasn't been exceptionally strong in creating/interpreting female characters. I've got no opinion about Hathaway's casting either way, but it may be important to remember that there may be additional challenges in terms of writing and direction that need to be overcome.

I can't say I envy Lindy Hemming her job in coming up with the new catsuit. How does anyone get the Ringwood/Vogt costume out of their head, let alone top it?!

It's simple, paint Anne Hathaway in black paint, naked.

Joker wasn't perma-white, he painted his face. Catwoman doesn't need a costume, paint her black.

Ammirite or ammirite?

Shut up please.

 

[mpgeist]

People complain about Mr Nolan's casting of Rachel and Ill agree to some degree that it wasn't the greatest. I have to believe more of those issues came to down to the character though. Scarlett in The Prestige and Marion in Inception tell me that he is perfectly capable of crafting and casting a strong female lead.

 

[devilof76]

...Couldn't they get some cute blonde instead? Thats how I picture Catwoman. Someone like Charlize Theron or Malin Akerman?

They'd all make much better Supergirls.

Yeah you're probably right, I was just hoping for a cute/sexy blonde as the Catwoman.

I hate Tim Burton. This is Selina Kyle...

yeah, you should leave the point making to me

Because you make your points so clearly.

so there is no censorship what so ever in the US?

No one said there was no censorship in the U.S. (nor that it was accepted, or proper). What everyone disputed was your pin-eyed characterization of censorship as being primarily a feature of conservative thought, and that conservative thought was coextensive with America. Both assumptions are false, and belie an ignorance typical of non-Americans.

Are you not American?

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

If you mean conservative in the sense of having standards of acceptable behavior that are enforced, and not in the sense of political orientation, then yes, the owner of the site expects a certain level of decorum, as is his right.

However, the standards are extremely liberal in the sense that we are largely free to say and post whatever we like. The idea that those few things which are not permitted represent some kind of inclination to suppress or repress is an insult, and a cheap one, at that.

I didn't ask

But you got told, didn't you?
