Re: The Dark Knight Rises

I prefer low-fashion Batmobiles.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises

I think the tumbler was made as a functional tool only. Would I like to see a sleeker batmobile? Yes. Did the tumbler serve it's purpose to intimidate others? Absolutely. I think I'd be pretty intimidated seeing that in my rear view mirror.

Guy Pearce turned down an offer to audition for Bruce Wayne in BB.

I think Pearce would make a better Green Arrow or Daredevil.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises

I think that at the end of TDKR, the whole process of setting up the mythology should be complete. As the film closes, we should release the fully established character of Batman into a future of fighting crime alongside Alfred and Commissioner Gordon, with a Batmobile of some sort and a Batcave to operate out of beneath Wayne Manor. Many of the pieces have been put into place, and this third (and last under the current talent) film should finish the prequel trilogy and tie it up with a ribbon, showing us all we need to know about how Batman became Batman.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises

I always thought the Tumbler was a pretty good choice for the more realistic world that Nolan uses. It makes much more sense than a sports car, which would be the alternative based on other Batmobiles.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises

Hmmm, I would think now that Bats is on the run more than ever he would be looking at a vehicle with a lower profile. The Tumbler is hardly subtle.

Agreed. thats why I really liked the batpod.

this makes sense to me.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises

How about this supposedly leaked concept art for the new Batmobile? It seems too Burtonesque to me.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises

____ that. That's worse than the Tumbler.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises

I have a feeling "rises" Batmobile concepts will be as plentiful as ipod/iphone 'leaked' concept photoshops used to be.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises

Looks like the '89 Batmobile, but with angles instead of curves and monster truck wheels.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises

Exactly, I hope that is not an actual concept drawing.

THE DARK KNIGHT RISES SCRIPT SO SECRET, ITS ENDING IS WRITTEN ONLY IN NOLAN'S HEAD by: Paul Tassi Mar. 28, 2011
Just how paranoid is Chris Nolan about any details of THE DARK KNIGHT RISING worming their way onto their internet? So much so that he's gone to incredible lengths to secure the script, and according to star Gary Oldman, the ending hasn't even been written down yet. “To get into the production office, you have to have someone meet you and there are keys and various doors that lock. The script you read in the production office, and there is no ending because [Nolan] tells you the ending so that it doesn’t leak and get out, and people spoil it on the internet.” Alright, so since it only exists in his own mind, whose up for INCEPTION-ing Nolan with me so we can figure out just what the hell is going on in this movie? Oldman goes on to say that Nolan "brings it back around" meaning the trilogy comes full circle, which I guess is as much as he's legally allowed to say lest he be sued so hard he has to quit acting and become a mustache trimmer salesman. Even with the majority of the script actually on paper, Nolan's lock and key process has worked so far, as I haven't heard a true rumor about anything having to do with the film yet, and everything we do have has been carefully spoon fed to us by WB over time.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises

^^ Thanks for sharing that new info.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises

Nolan is right to be careful with his script. It will take 5 minutes for it to become a TMZ headline if it leaks. After that there are 4chan types who will run around trying to spoil it just to mess with people.

Remember the whole "Dumbledore dies on page 556!"?

Before Matrix Reloaded hit theaters I was reading slashdot.org and some d-ckhead snuck spoilers for the ending in the comments section. Here's one example

It's time to ground the shuttle fleet permanently. Space isn't going anywhere. Stop pouring the hundreds of millions of dollars into the shuttle program and pour them into a new design effort. Scrap the silly "space-plane" concept and trinity dies at the end of the matrix reloaded develop a family of lifters and craft that _can_ be used for many things but don't back NASA into a corner that forces them to use it for all missions

Re: The Dark Knight Rises

I hate it when people do that. I remember when one of the big twists on Lost got out. I've been lucky so far in missing spoilers like Dumbledore's death and the Lost one.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises

I like the secrecy, will be trying my best to keep away from spoilers over the next 12 months...

Re: The Dark Knight Rises

that batmanonfilm website is a good one for avoiding major spoilers. I was on the superherohype forums way too much and I, although I couldn't have imagined how it was, I knew a few things that would be in it.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises

I think it's interesting that they've already announced there will be another Batman film after this, BUT that "The Dark Knight Rises" (still hoping for a title change, by the way) will definitely be the last Batman film directed by Nolan and starring Bale. But that's not the interesting part... it's that Nolan will be producing the future Bats films, even though it will be another reboot and separate from his own trilogy.

The next films will be another reboot?
