What they need to do is to get a hotter love interest in. Maggy was good, but I thought she was more suited to be Joker's love interest than Batmans.
I'd like to see him in the mask before giving my approval.
He didn't mess with the Joker that much. The Joker being a ruthless killer who works off Anarchy isn't anything new. The villains aren't re-imaginings either. Scarecrow was pretty spot on. The only one that has had any real tamperings with is Rhas Al Ghul, and even then it's just an amalgalm of the comics stories. Two Face is also a spot on version. Falcone and the mafia were Batmans original foes from the get go. As I've said, I really don't have a problem with him killing Batman off, I just hope he can do something better than that. As for the decision, it is one he would have to get the ok from DC Warner, and they are very protective over their characters now. If he does it brilliantly then I'm all game as I'm sure everyone else would be. I'm more inclined to thinking he'll have Bruce Wayne retire the BatmanYes yes of course...but that doesn't mean he's bound to it...it means he's taken good inspiration from it...The Joker for example he completely messed with..but it worked..
Yes it is...who's is it?
No. That's the nerdy fan boy in you talking...Superman would instantly render Nolan's universe - the one he's painstakingly created - a joke. He could never work in Nolan's universe....It's for someone else to do...hence why Nolan should end his saga definitively...And as I've said, killing Batman is hardly herecy as it's already been done in the comics...the bigger betrayal was the 60s show..or the bat nipples, or any of the other shit other people have weaved into their versions over time. This is Nolan's version, not the world's or the fans...the only reason people do get so tight about it is because he's done it so well...he's actually fecked with a lot of shit along the way...Most of the main villians are complete re-imaginings for a start. He can kill Batman, and leave someone else to do another one. And I think he must.
Nolans only in consultancy at the moment but from the sounds of some recent interviews, he'll be taking the helm. Metropolis has already been given the geek nod in Nolans Batman films.That's what started us talking about it...yes...But apparently only in consulting role according to the newbs
What I meant by re-imagining was that the joker is make up'd in this, not bleeched...Two Face becomes Two-Face in a very different way to in the comics...it's basically messing with a lot of things that are considered 'lore'...but he's doing it so well no one minds...Superman would wreck everything IMO...even if done in the future.
I still can't see him killing Bruce Wayne though. I guess it is maybe the fanboy in me that would like to see a Dark Knight Returns tale brought to the screen.“I’m very excited about the end of the film, the conclusion, and what we’ve done with the characters,” Nolan said.“My brother has come up with some pretty exciting stuff. Unlike the comics, these thing don’t go on forever in film and viewing it as a story with an end is useful. Viewing it as an ending, that sets you very much on the right track about the appropriate conclusion and the essence of what tale we’re telling. And it hearkens back to that priority of trying to find the reality in these fantastic stories. That’s what we do.”
It was the tragedy and point of the whole film.Ugh, don't mention Two-Face and TDK. I like to pretend that part of the movie never happened.
Mentioned in the first one, newspapers, number plates, various in both films. More background stuff.Yeah it sort of was the point of the whole film....I don't think they should've killed him though..
What were the Metropolis nods incidentally? I remember a Gotham nod in the new Superman
I know that, but the way they handled it, with Batman tackling him to his death, after they made such a big thing about Batman not killing people, it annoys me. No big deal, I just think its a weakness in the film.It was the tragedy and point of the whole film.
I can see the retirement arc being played out in the last of this trilogy. Rumours are the story will follow on a year or two from where the Dark Knight left, whether that’s true or not I’m a little dubious about as the 'Semi-Retirement' arc would then already be in place. I would like to see the story following Batman / Wayne still working quietly behind the scenes waiting for the chance to clear his name for the accusations that arise at the end of TDK against him.I'd also like him to die at the end of the film with Gotham City and possibly signs of the whole of America facing being overrun by criminals - his whole sacrifice in vain, but with a possible clue that he might still be alive or at least leave it open to himself coming back to finish it with a massive 4th blockbuster or leave it to someone else to feck up the fourth film and leave the lagacy of his trilogy intact.
I just couldn't cop with tha Jim Carrey shit last time.Batman isn't about Nolan.
There is still a lot of potential in the storyline. I believe the next one involves Riddler.
In the future I hope they bring out the story about Robin being manipulated by the Joker.
This is what I don't get. I don't see why people are intent on viewing this as a franchise. Nolan doesn't. View it as a self contained trilogy of films and you'll see (i think) that him dying is the best conclusion...But all just theories and ideas! One thing I would say is Batman won’t die, maybe a fake death as mentioned, but not a full on one. Nolan stated this trilogy is the end to a story, not to a franchise. A retired Batman would be fitting; this could lead to a new story based on The Dark Knight Returns as gambit mentioned! A older Batman = No Bale. No Bale = Dick Grayson could be involved and would match the current time line set. Older characters/actors = A new Joker could cast.
I do agree with what you are saying there Mockney, and I too would also prefer it if the Nolan 'Batman' was a franchise in its own right and couldn't be tampered with by some pleb of a director in a fourth filmThe whole 'franchise' thing is precisely the reason it should happen IMO....Nolan's films shouldn't be tied into them, they should be their own separate canon.
Marion Cotillard is allegedly in preliminary talks.i guess i'm the only person who wants to see a "Nolanised" Catwoman?
Well, i'm not the one talking to her so it's me *** at least!Marion Cotillard is allegedly in preliminary talks.
But yes, you're the only person.
Why the cnuting feck has "+ 1" without a space between them been censored?Well, i'm not the one talking to her so it's me *** at least!
I wouldn't buy too much into that. It's probably the same people who made up the Levitt rumour. "OMG she was in one of his past films, he likes to continue using the same actors, must be in Batman 3!!!"Marion Cotillard is allegedly in preliminary talks.
But yes, you're the only person.
Again it would be just like the character is in the comics, an international uber thief.i guess i'm the only person who wants to see a "Nolanised" Catwoman?
Au contraire. She will be arriving for her reading at your place tomorrow. Your driveway can hold a limo, right?Well, i'm not the one talking to her so it's me *** at least!
I only replied to him so I could work in the "But yes, you're the only (interested) person" part.I wouldn't buy too much into that. It's probably the same people who made up the Levitt rumour. "OMG she was in one of his past films, he likes to continue using the same actors, must be in Batman 3!!!"
She's a better fit for Talia if anything though -_-
Strange could work alongside bane I guess, pumping him with steroids possibly.Interesting.
The fanbois have pinned down Black Mask as the new favourite.
I'm not familiar with Hugo Strange. Would that work?
