The Dark Knight Rises

[TKz]

Eckhart was wonderful, really, really wonderful in Dark Knight. If it wasn't for Ledgers Joker, I think he would have been the star of the film, easily.

As far as The Penguin thing goes - he's actually more realistic than anybody would imagine. A man with flipper hands and pointed teeth? It has happened, due to a screwy vaccination that tested fine on animals, but messed up kids when pregnant mothers were given the vaccine during pregnancy, and sometimes before that. They'd come out with deformed hands, where a couple of fingers, sometimes all but one, were joined, the same thing happened with their toes, and sometimes their teeth would be really messed up when said teeth emerged. A rich family abandoning a child like that - totally would work as a condemnation of the wrong kind of wealthy people.

Oh, wait, sorry, that was a lot of the point of Batman Returns. So doing the Penguin justice in Nolan's third film wouldn't work because Burton already did it justice in his second film, and unlike The Joker, there really isn't more than one interpretation of the character that would make sense.

Hugo Strange FTW, personally.

Unless it were the interpretation of the character that exists everywhere but Batman Returns (and I guess The Batman but who cares about The Batman?). I mean, seriously, you're aware that the Penguin that exists in the comics and the Penguin that exists in Burton's movie are absolutely nothing alike, right?

...Bat...man... comic books?

I'd hardly call Danny DeVitos Penguin realistic.

Penguins with missiles are the wave of the future, TKz. The wave of the future.

[TKz]

I didn't even remember that. It was the Raw Fish eating, giant Rubber Duck riding, Machine Gun in the shape of an Umbrella sort of things that I was talking about.

Penguins with missiles are the wave of the future, TKz. The wave of the future.

Even though Batman Returns is my all time favorite movie, even I gotta say what the hell was up with the penguins having rockets on them. Though, I do like DeVito's version of Penguin, but I can see why some don't.

Your all time favourite movie?

Thats not right man. thats not right at ALL.

[SeanDMan]

Dude, you're talking to Baby Hewey. He doesn't exactly have impeccable taste in... well, anything.

[Pizza]

Yeah, but that's not even in my top 5 Batman movies of all time.

[TKz]

Alright, Penguins with Missiles aside, I think we can still all agree that it's at least a step above WHAT KILLED THE DINOSAURS?

THE ICE AGE!

[Pizza]

But it's several steps below days where you just can't get rid of a bomb.

But it's several steps below days where you just can't get rid of a bomb.

I think that's my favorite sequence of all-time.

Anne Hathaway has been cast as Selina Kyle/Catwoman and Tom Hardy as Bane apparently.

[GoGo Yubari]

Can anybody provide a source for that? Anne Hatheway as Catwoman is glorious, just glorious. Hope they portray her a sort of a neutral character

I can provide proof via press release. Here’s the full press release:

Warner Bros. Pictures announced today that Anne Hathaway has been cast as Selina Kyle in Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises. She will be starring alongside Christian Bale, who returns in the title role of Bruce Wayne/Batman.

Christopher Nolan stated, “I am thrilled to have the opportunity to work with Anne Hathaway, who will be a fantastic addition to our ensemble as we complete our story.”

In addition, Tom Hardy has been set to play Bane. Nolan said, “I am delighted to be working with Tom again and excited to watch him bring to life our new interpretation of one of Batman’s most formidable enemies.

Nolan will direct the film from a screenplay he wrote with Jonathan Nolan, from a story by Christopher Nolan and David S. Goyer. Nolan will also produce the film with his longtime producing partner, Emma Thomas, and Charles Roven.

The Dark Knight Rises is slated for release on July 20, 2012. The film will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.
