THE THIRD ACT: What a third in the Batman Begins, Dark Knight series might be...

[wofford29]

And to say he was more well known for Shaft and Equilibrium is a joke.

To you maybe.

Seriously though, it's not worth debating about. I'm just making an observation, and no matter what anyone says the original point is that Mr. Reese could be the Riddler, and based on Nolan's casting in the past in everyone of his studio films, I don't think it's even a possibility.

Anything is possible.

We could poll SSF forums to see if they remember Bale from American Psycho more or Shaft if you want?

I've known about Christian Bale since he was a kid and he won all kinds of acclaim in "Empire of the Sun," and saw him in plenty of things before Begins. Cillian Murphy was in 28 Days, Cold Mountain, The Girl with the Pearl Earring, before Begins, and Red Eye at the same time as Begins so I think to say he was unknown is crazy, and if anyone doesn't recognize the guy after you show them a pic I think they'd be well below the general public in terms of interest in cinema. And I still stand by my statement that started this. Nolan would not cast a nobody in a major role, which any villian would be in the third film.

Yeah, YOU knew who he was because you were a big movie fan ... many people didn't. Bale was barely known before BEGINS, and Cillian Murphy? Even more of an un-known. Nolan casts people on their acting abilities. Not how well known they are or not. You're crazy if you think Bale was some superstar and so was Murphy before or even after casting of Nolan for BEGINS. They were relative un-knowns by the general public.

That would make sense if you wanted to poll one little niche market of people that collect Sideshow. We all know that's a good representation of the general audience.

You can keep arguing all you want, you've stated your opinion, and it's obvious you're just a casual moviegoer. Like I said there's nothing wrong with that. I don't see the need for you continually just reposting what I know and feel already. You didn't know him and don't think many did, I did know him and think that plenty did. You have your vantage point, and I have mine, let it go.

It's been announced on SKY news that Angelina Jolie has been in talks for the role of Catwoman.
I would like to see Catwoman in this latest franchise just to repair the damage done by Halle Berry's movie.

I've known Bale for many years. He's been one of my favorite actors. I enjoyed the Machinist, Equilibrium and American Psycho and pretty much all of this newer movies such as 3:10 to Yuma and Rescue Dawn. And Cillian Murphy gave me the creeps in Red Eye. Dude's got quite a scary face.

Please no. I can't watch her in anything.

Watch GIA That will change your mind

Watch GIA That will change your mind

Seen it unfortunately. I'm in the minority group that finds her far to creepy to be attractive. I also think her name outweighs her acting ability, so no matter what she's in, I can't see past Angelina Jolie.

 

[Agent0028]

I don't care for Angelina Jolie either, so maybe that's why I don't really see her doing well in the Catwoman role.

 

[Starkiller]

I feel sees too big of a name to do...It seems they are basing it off looks and not acting abilities? I hate when they put her little stick frame in action films and expect me to believe she can do all of these stunts and tricks...lame!

She's only good for her ASSets.

 

[wofford29]

If they do a catwoman Rachel Weisz would be my vote

If they do Riddler Paul Bettany would be my vote

 

[THE JOKER]

Im with you.

 

[ProgMatinee]

The Riddler
He's funny AND a good actor and since he's older he brings something totally different than the upstart role that the Joker had.

No way Jose!

 

[TolkienCollector]

I'm not a big comic fan, but as a very young kid back in 60's I got my love of the Bat from the TV series

I don't care who they cast/what characters they use, just as long as they make more. Lots more, then even more.

MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I left the cinema totally baffled as to why Two-Face was dead so soon Having read this thread, I'm a bit less confused

When's the DVD due?!?!?!?!?!?

TC

 

[Starkiller]

DVD and Blu-ray are coming this fall.

What movie?

There's never been a Catwoman movie starring Halle Berry...

HAS THERE???

*Loads gun*

 

[A-1188]

Did two-face survive the fall? He kind of looked dead to me in the end of the movie.

 

[tomandshell]

Kate Beckinsale or Rachel Weisz would be good bets for Catwoman, as Nolan likes to cast Brits as Americans.

So for the same reason, Paul Bettany would be a good choice. Nolan's not going to go with someone "funny" for the Riddler. He will be scheming and diabolical.

Still, they need to go in a somewhat different direction after the success of this film, so as not to repeat themselves unsuccessfully.
