soooo.... when can i see leaky footage of the prologue?
(not even going to attempt to re-join this debate at this stage)
Hopefully soon. Maybe even before MI4 comes out. 
Has someone been peeking in his trailer?Hardy is going to own this role. He's the type of actor to really get into the character and with comic books getting around the set and the probability of Nolan explaining to him and the rest of the cast every little detail and sharing his vision I can only see this going right.
The height isn't going to be a problem on screen in the slightest , they'll probably make Bane look as if he's towering above Batman and if not they easily could have so obviously Nolan didn't want to. Even if he looks smaller on set it's all about how it's shown on screen.
As for Vin Diesel or the Rock in one of these movies I think they'd stand out like a sore thumb. I really can't see either of them acting along side this cast and in a movie with a tone like this and not look stupid. Sure there have been some average actors in the past movies but there is a difference between an average actor who fits in as a side character and a main character portrayed by an ex wrestler/action star in a somewhat serious movie with some of today's best actors in the cast.
I mean , can you imagine a final confrontation with Bale fighting Dwayne Johnson or Diesel with a Hans Zimmer score playing. It'd be like the final in the trilogy was a comedy piss take.
Actually , now that I'm thinking about it that would be hilarious to see.
Sure it's Batman but Nolan's past two movies have been on the more serious side and it's worked so far , I think this last movie is going to finish it off perfectly.
Agree.Ken Watanabe void? Really?
I liked him in the Last Samurai but other than that . . .He has a small role in Begins, nothing special and he's HORRIBLE in Inception. I couldn't even understand him. At first I thought it was just me until reviews and reports came in with the same complaint.
I don't like how pretentious these Batman films, and fans have gotten. I prefer the simpler times with Batman Begins than I do now going into "OMG OSCAH WORTHY EPIC, TDKR, TEH NOLEN, TEH ACTORS". It just seems bloated and exaggerated to me. Begins was a humble effort for a super hero film. It was a good film and a fresh start and everyone didn't flock to it's feet and put it up on this huge pedestal. Even going into TDK was fine. It had that big, blockbuster feel to it where the hype was enormous and fun. It was Batman vs. Joker again, something people were anticipating for years.
Then after TDK came out, ____ got serious and the films seemed to be above criticism with exaggerated success.
No way would I want another Batman and Robin but I do think TDKR is looking to be the extreme opposite of it, which isn't necessarily a good thing.

I have taken this series seriously from the start. I love Burton's Batman movies, but there is a reason Batman Begins is in my all time top 5 favorite movies and Burton's are not.
Nolan's Bat movies are the only "superhero" movies I have seen that feel serious and deeply moving - like "oscar worthy" films. Not to say I don't enjoy most superhero movies, but this is just on a different level. If they are just another comic book series to you there is no need to bash others who see it as something more.
Yeah, what he said. ^^^
Contrived by whom? Is there some vast NolanBat conspiracy that I don't know about?
I dunno, I haven't done this in awhile and I've got time to spare? They take me, what, a minute or two to make? I've always been a good bull____ter, maybe I'll inspire someone?
