The Dark Knight (movie thread) 7/18 baby

[mFFL03]

I thought this is what the geek zone was for....shit

[curtismedellin]

Fuck this...someone please help this moron stop the fuckin madness...

Use the search this thread to add your opinion about this shit.

Damn I was looking foward to seeing this movie.

I clicked on the links and they were sound, no video.

^^^^^^
geek zone

[dirk4mvp]

i remember that one Red Rider faggot starting a million dark knight threads everytime a new joker pic was released.


let's just turn this into a Christian Bale thread.

[J.T.]

let's just turn this into a Christian Bale thread.

I liked him in American Psycho.

[mFFL03]

yeah all the other threads are...."OMGZORGZ new pics!"

so this should put an end to that....

as for the links, you gotta download holmes....right click and save as...it's in avi...

i was streaming it to my xbox 360, not the best picture, but certainly a loud one

might want to hurry on it too, apparently WB released them exclusively only to a website and some media outlets, but the filmmakers made them take it down...

[curtismedellin]

yeah all the other threads are...."OMGZORGZ new pics!"

Still lame HOLMES, your thread adds nothing to all the other OMGZORGZ new pics threads.

IMO

I may be wrong.

[mFFL03]

This is probably just me, but does anyone else think they did a really bad job on the makeup for The Joker (Health Ledger's character)??? It looks like it was sloppily applied. When I picture the Joker, I picture the kind of makeup they did on Jack back in the day.

hmmm....you may have a loophole....this isn't "The OFFICIAL...." thread now is it?

[ComfortablyNumb]

I'm looking forward to it. I'm staying away from all the trailers and such though.

[T Park]

Haha

I think I like Heath's version better. It more fits the psychopath that his character is supposed to be.

The makeup isn't supposed to be "perfect" either. Dudes nuts, and whatever :lol

I dunno, movie looks pretty kick ass to me.

[JoeChalupa]

I'm going to have to break down and see this on the big screen.

[angelbelow]

last 3 times i went to the movie theaters, 50% of me just wanted to watch the dark knight trailer.

I'm going to start a new thread when the movie comes out.

what will you name it???
How about The New Dark Knight Movie Thread?

or how about

The End All Be All Dark Knight Movie Thread??

Just throwing it out there.

Nice. I didn't really feel like fighting the shit storm that I'm sure will ensue at Thursday at midnight and going to work tired as fuck the next morning. Not that Friday will be much better, but at least I'll feel better about myself. And I can sleep in =)

I don't know, I can't imagine it will be any worse than it usually is, I'm going to the Palladium Imax which is always busy.

So far they have it playing on seven screens, including the IMAX, four of them are sold out, and the 3:15 AM IMAX is also sold out.

They are also having something at 8:30, don't know what though...

Health Ledger's character looks more like a zombie or something.

I think that's the point though. In Burton's Batman the Joker is permanently scarred like that so the make up has to be perfect. In the Dark Knight it's actually the Joker applying make up to himself not a deformity.

The movie that NEEDS to be on Blu Ray is freaking Wedding Crashers.

[T Park]

Yeah Im heading down to the Irvine Spectrum monday night to watch it too.

Fuck this shit this weekend, gonna be a madhouse.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Saw it today. Other than the fact that Heath Ledger gave one hell of a performance, the movie was mediocre. Heath just carries the whole thing. Before I saw the movie, I had to agree with Chump, I thought Heath was being overhyped because of his death. Man, was I wrong! The dude was awesome! He overshadowed EVERYONE.

With regards to the rest of the cast, I thought Maggie Gyllenhaal was crap in this movie. The little lines she got to deliver, she fucked them up. Now, I've always been a fan of Bale, and I thought he gave a very decent performance, I just can't get over the stupid voice he uses when he puts the costume on. It was fucking ridiculous, to the point where I just cringed every time he spoke. Eckhart I thought was quite good.

All in all the movie was just alright. The amount of bullshit hype surrounding the movie is unbelievable though. I mean they're giving it a 9.7 at IMDB.com... give me a fucking break! they're calling it a masterpiece?? the only masterpiece in this movie is Heath's portrayal of the Joker.

Incredible... best movie of the Summer so far....

Fuck Wall E

[KidCongo]

Saw it last night. Pretty good. Maniac, Batmans voice pissed me off too. Heath was pretty fucking good.

[PM5K]

Batmans voice was the same as it was in Begins except for near the end, I can only assume it was because of his injuries that he spoke differently.

[v2freak]

It is my belief that there are only 4 types of movies being made right now:

1.) Movies based on comic books
2.) Spoofs
3.) Pixar cartoons
4.) Movies that feature children as protagonists

Why the obsession with movies based on comic books?

Ex: not enough to have one Hulk in 4 years, gotta make two versions!
Ex: gotta reboot the whole Batman and Superman series!

[Fillmoe]

Just got back from the movie..... shit was DOPE!

It figures he nails the role and he isn't around anymore....:rolleyes

[monosylab1k]

Damned impressive. Lives up to the hype, which is remarkable considering how much hype there is.

Heath Ledger is incredible. He's always intriguing, unpredictable, and completely insane but somehow his performance is never over the top. The only reason Heath Ledger doesn't get nominated for Best Suppporting Actor is because he gets nominated for Best Actor instead. You can make a case that this movie is about the Joker & Harvey Dent, and that Batman is a supporting character.

Only 2 complaints:

1) A little too long. Drags on a bit. But lately it seems like all great movies suffer from being about 10 minutes too long.

2) SPOILERS: Harvey Dent, District Attorney is a great character. Harvey Dent, Two-Face is pretty damn terrible. They completely fouled up Two-Face, and it's really disappointing. Granted, it's not a "Topher Fucking Grace As Venom" level of complete, devastating annihilation of a villain to the point where you can never take that villain seriously ever again. It's more along the lines of seeing Star Wars Ep. III and you see Vader for the first time near the end and you think "hell yes!" but then immediately Vader let's out an emo "Nooooooooooooooo!" and you get kinda disappointed because your favorite villain just became a whiny bitch for a moment. It's kind of like that. Won't ruin the movie, or even the character of Two-Face, for you, but at the same time you leave the theater disappointed that they mishandled a great villain like that.

All in all, go see it. This movie is worth every dollar.

If I go see this movie and the Joker lives and I already knew it because you were too fucking stupid to get off your high horse and leak it on your weak ass review, I'm flying to Argentina and kicking you in the nuts.


Fuck you're an ass hole.

[stretch]

movie was amazingly good.

only thing that pissed me off was that i had too much water before the movie and about an hour into it i had to piss like a bitch but didnt wanna get up so i had to gut out another hour and a half before i could go, but it was even worse cuz i got stuck behind some fatass who was the size of the entire fucking hallway i was exiting out of and walked about the pace of a grizzly bear that just got shot up the ass with novocaine. after i finally got out of the damn theatre, it seemed like every fucking douchebag in existence decides to walk in my path and bump into me to delay my trip to the restroom. when i finally get there, there is piss all over the floor in front of the urinal i was about to use, but i had to whizz so bad that i didnt care at that point. my piss was so long that i was pissing for the entire time that it took for my brother to walk into the restroom, pee, wash his hands, dry them with one of those shitty air blowing machines that take 5 minutes to get your hands dry (why cant we just use fucking paper towels?), and walk out before i finished my business.

but it was quite possibly the best pee ive ever taken, so in the end i was even more thrilled with batman. amazing movie that lead to an amazing piss (despite everything in the fucking world trying to prevent it)

[to21]

Saw it today at 12:01 AM.......great, great movie. I must have been the oldest person in the theater at 35 :lol

The ONLY complaint I have is it was a little too long (I know, I should not complain when a good movie is too long).

I'm not the one throwing around threats of kicking people in the nuts (which is particularly pathetic to begin with). The internet tough guy routine doesn't consists of insults you jackass, its people like you that think threatening someone over the internet message boards is somehow cool :lol.

I don't take too well to being called an asshole, especially by a whiny little shit like johnsmith.

welcome to internet forums. if you dont like it, then make him look like an idiot. doing nothing but hurling insults back makes you look like a chode.

Yes you fucking idiot. I was actually planning on boarding one of those planes with the chickens in the back, coming to Argentina and kicking you in the nuts. Is everyone in your country as big a pussy as you and deems things like this as a threat?

LoL, Argentina.

How am I supposed to know? You might just be that stupid. Point is you were wrong in your assumption and called me an asshole. I'm just giving you your response.

Asshole is a term of endearment here in the States.

So basically you're admitting that others could come to that conclusion based on your original post and that you were indeed an asshole from the get go and that this all could have been avoided had you just apologized and deleted it the first time.

Basically that's it huh?

No, I'm simply taking steps to prevent other idiots like you (or is it your ego is so big you think you're unique in your idiocy?) from jumping to fucking conclusion and calling me names, thereby igniting yet another one of these stupid fucking situations. Clear enough for ya?

movie was amazingly good.

only thing that pissed me off was that i had too much water before the movie and about an hour into it i had to piss like a bitch but didnt wanna get up so i had to gut out another hour and a half before i could go, but it was even worse cuz i got stuck behind some fatass who was the size of the entire fucking hallway i was exiting out of and walked about the pace of a grizzly bear that just got shot up the ass with novocaine. after i finally got out of the damn theatre, it seemed like every fucking douchebag in existence decides to walk in my path and bump into me to delay my trip to the restroom. when i finally get there, there is piss all over the floor in front of the urinal i was about to use, but i had to whizz so bad that i didnt care at that point. my piss was so long that i was pissing for the entire time that it took for my brother to walk into the restroom, pee, wash his hands, dry them with one of those shitty air blowing machines that take 5 minutes to get your hands dry (why cant we just use fucking paper towels?), and walk out before i finished my business.

but it was quite possibly the best pee ive ever taken, so in the end i was even more thrilled with batman. amazing movie that lead to an amazing piss (despite everything in the fucking world trying to prevent it)




Thats why for a movie like that I don't eat or drink crap before a movie of that calliber... Screw that!!!

That's IMDB's fault. That whole list is subjective on IMDB. Those are all fan votes and in the end all lists are subjective. The reason Dark Knight is tied for number 1 right is because the movie just came out and it's lived up to all it's hype so it's probably been getting 10's across the board by regular viewers and critics alike. In fact the lowest grade I've seen by a critic for this movie is a B- and his main complaint was that it was a comic book movie. Also another reason that list is flawed is that it combines every single type of movie genre, when it shouldn't. When I rate the Dark Knight I am not going to rate it on the same standards on what people review the God Father as, it doesn't make sense. Two totally different movies, one is an action comic thriller, the other is drama. Furthermore that list has Wall-E at number 26 or something........WTF. Point is that list doesn't make any sense at all , I will rank Dark Knight as the number 1 comic book movie, but to have a list that compacts every single movie genre into 1 and rate it is ridiculos. Also Dark Knights around 10000 votes whereas GodFather and ShawShank Redemption have more, it's a matter of time where people who want to perserve those spots start giving Dark Knight 0's to lower it on the list. So based on how the Dark Knight is and what it's main goal as a movie is, of course it's going to get a high rating for what it was trying to accomplish, and that is IMDB's fault for combining all types of movies in 1 catogery. It's like saying: I'm going to dismiss Rambo because of the lack of acting. That's stupid to say, because Rambo's main goal is not about acting it's about action and on that basis I would give Rambo a 9. The Dark Knight's has reached it's main goal of being a movie, so once again of course it's going to get high ratings. Also another example is Finding Nemo got a 9/10 and so did Shawshank Redemption, does that mean Finding Nemo = Shawshank redemption? No. It's what the movie was trying to accomplish, once again IMDB's fault for compiling such a list.

I went a little overboard

But Nolan said that Penguin was not realistic enough and wouldn't be included in his films. The next film will probably be Catwoman, since when Batman is talking to Morgan Freeman about making his suit stronger, he says it will protect him from cats.

"Knight" earned $155.3 to beat opening weekend record of $151.1 million

"Dark Knight" brought in $66.4 million on its first day in theaters

Previous record was $59.8 million, held by "Spider-Man 3"

Film has received a boost from stellar reviews, buzz around Heath Ledger

LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- A Warner Bros. executive says the Batman sequel "The Dark Knight" has taken in $155.34 million to top "Spider-Man 3" for best opening weekend ever at the box office.

The figures released Sunday show "The Dark Knight" more than $4 million ahead of the $151.1 million first weekend for "Spider-Man 3" in May 2007.

Studio distribution chief Dan Fellman says "The Dark Knight" also broke the "Spider-Man 3" record for best debut in IMAX large-screen theaters with $6.2 million. "Spider-Man 3" opened with $4.7 million in IMAX cinemas.

Stoked by fan fever over the manic performance of the late Heath Ledger as the Joker, "The Dark Knight" also set a one-day box office record with $66.4 million on opening day, Fellman said Saturday.

The movie's Friday haul surpassed the previous record of $59.8 million set last year by "Spider-Man 3." iReport.com: Did you see 'Dark Knight'?

"The Dark Knight" began with a record $18.5 million from midnight screenings, topping the previous high of $16.9 million for "Star Wars: Episode III -- The Revenge of the Sith."

The opening day grosses for "The Dark Knight" far exceeded the full weekend haul of its predecessor, "Batman Begins," which took in $48.7 million in its first three days in 2005.

Reviews were excellent for director Christopher Nolan's "Batman Begins," but they were stellar for his "Dark Knight."

"We've really never seen anything like this," said Paul Dergarabedian, president of box-office tracker Media By Numbers. "The death of a fine actor taken in his prime, a legendary performance and a movie that lives up to all the hype. That all combined to create these record-breaking numbers."

Buzz had been high for the Batman sequel well before Ledger died of an accidental prescription-drug overdose in January. Trailers last fall revealing Ledger's demented Joker, with crooked clown makeup, turned up the heat even more. The critical acclaim over his performance that built from advance screenings left fans in a frenzy.

"It's a combination of things. Certainly, that's a great part of it, but I think this movie's gross was partly because of the reviews it received and the incredible buzz and word of mouth that preceded it with our early screenings," Fellman said. "And the success and quality of the last one, 'Batman Begins,' delivered by Chris Nolan just set the tone for the opening of this movie."

"The Dark Knight" reunites Christian Bale as Batman, the vigilante crime-fighter tormented by personal tragedy, and co-stars Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Gary Oldman.

The film spins an epic crime duel as Ledger's Joker orchestrates a reign of terror on the city of Gotham aimed to spread chaos and break down the restraint that keeps Batman on the right side of the law.

Although critics are taking the film seriously enough to suggest that Ledger could be in line for an Academy Award nomination, the action-packed movie also delivers as pure summer movie escapism.

"If you're worried about mortgage payments and gas prices, when you're sitting in 'The Dark Knight' for two and a half hours, you're not thinking about any of that stuff," Dergarabedian said.

If Batman survived the same fall why couldnt Dent? You can rule nothing out in the comic world.

[J.T.]

Could they have the joker in the next film? If they bring him back who would play him?

Johnny Depp is about the only person in Hollywood that could pull it off without insulting Ledger's take on the Joker. Ed Norton would have been a good Riddler, but I think Marvel's lawyers wouldn't take too kindly to that now.

[lefty]

I agree.

Remember when Batman turned Dent's head, saying that people should remember only his good side?
The memorial service was held not only to honor the good Dent, but also to hide his new identity from everybody.

I think they put Dent in a secret prison, and he will escape in the next Batman

[GEICO Caveman]

don't they take sunday into account for total weekend earnings?

Usually the three day weekend totals are released Monday morning. The numbers for Dark Knight are likely to go up even more. It's re-watch value is pretty high, and if it sustains, it could outsell Titanic. The only people who paid to see Titanic more than once are women getting wet over DiCaprio. Kate Winslet's tits weren't enough to bring back men because you could have gotten better and more content in a Playboy mag for the same price. This movie will have lots of people going back more than once to see it. Dunno if it will make more money than Titanic, but it's probably the only movie to come out since then with the potential.

But one thing it has working against it is Internet piracy is so much bigger now...there's already decent audio/video quality versions of the film on streaming sites, and it usually takes two weeks to a month to get that level of pirated quality out to the public. For this it only took two days.

I agree with both of you. Im pretty sure he didnt die. He will be in Arkam or something.

And as far as Ekhart, he almost stole the movie for me. His Two Face was disturbing. Not much more can be said about Ledgar, he was awesome. I also really loved Gary Oldam is this movie, thought he did a fine job. As far as Bale's Batman voice, it was the same as the last one, so I dont know why people thought he would change his voice for this one. Damn good movie overall, 8/10

[T Park]

Johnny Depp as the Riddler would be perfect.

Penguin? That would be tough. I don't know who you could portray as the penguin, as honestly, I don't know his background story that well.

I was having the exact same thought that Johnny Depp = Perfect Riddler while I was watching Batman Forver just an hour ago. Penguin is supposed to be an upper class rich dude who isn't really a hands on villian, but a person who instigates crime for his own needs, Tim Burton fucked it up with Danny Devito being so dark.

Mad Hatter and Ventriliquost are two of the more disturbing Batman villians, they both suffer from pyschological problems, (like all batman villians) which makes it realistic. Mad Hatter at first was actually sort of funny (LMAO @ The shit he tries to pull), but later on he's become more shadier/darker.

Hopefully it will be someone dark. Maybe like a combo of Killer Croc and Clayface or something. I also wouldnt mind seeing a Bane movie. The Clooney Batman fucked up that character so bad, it would be nice to see an actual good story based around him.
Bane would be the most realistic. JT said that NOlan is looking for realistic and he wouldn't cast Penguin on the basis that he isn't realistic, let alone Crock or clayface.

[1Parker1]

I really wonder who in Hollywood convinced everybody that Maggie Gylenhaal is good looking? She is as big a root as there is. She is really not good looking at all. At all. I'd sooner fuck Christian Bale than that ugly skank. She needs to stop being in movies that I watch.

:lol I think she gets casts because she's a good actress (supposedly), I don't see her making any "Beautiful Lists" She's not attractive I don't think. But her brother on the hand? Yummy! :makeout

[1Parker1]

oh yeah, forgot to mention before:

stay through the credits people, you get to see a setup for the next one. Looks like the next villain will definitely be The Riddler.

Goodness, I hope it's not Jim Carrey again...:lol

[TheTruth]

Yeah, it was a great movie. Heath Ledger totally owned that role. Unbelievable how good he was. Never once did I think I was watching Heath Ledger playing a character, he was The Joker.

[Trainwreck2100]

I think this time Katie Holmes would have been a perfect cast, imagine the satisfaction of watching her get blown to shit after having to sit through 90 more minutes of her crappy acting.

[monosylab1k]

The lack of a casket at his memorial service has me doubting this.

All they showed was Gordon and that big ass picture of Nick Naylor. How you can that decipher that he's still alive from just that?

I'll assume that he's dead based on the fact that he wasn't breathing after he fell, and they didn't exactly go out of their way to rush him to help.

[E20]

If that is true and they killed off two face that is a pretty shitty thing to do.

[Trainwreck2100]

Why would the writers kill off two face and go out of their way to keep Scarecrow and The Joker alive?

If he's really dead then there would have been no reason to avoid showing a casket at his funeral. He could be dead but I think they are leaving the possibilities for the third film wide open.

[Leetonidas]

All in all, this movie was definitely all it was built up to be. Heath Ledger gave the best performance of any villain I have ever seen. He was downright amazing. This movie kicked so much ass.

[monosylab1k]

if he isn't dead, i'll skip the 3rd film out of principle due to the fact that this will be like the 18th time Nolan has used the "he's dead! j/k no he's not, rofl" trick in these movies.

[monosylab1k]

Why would the writers kill off two face and go out of their way to keep Scarecrow and The Joker alive?

Probably because they realized that they turned Two-Face into another whiny emo-Vader. He even had his own "noooooooooooooooooo!" scene.

I loved this movie but was sorely disappointed in their use of Two-Face.

But Two-Faces character is orginally whiney and emo. The only reason he became schizo/crazy and a criminal because he became ugly/deformed, his backstory is emo if you ask me, but the character is cool.

[O-Factor]

A Christopher Nolan Bane story line would be nice.

[E20]

A Christopher Nolan Bane story line would be nice.
You know what would be awesome? If they stopped it at the third batman movie and bane was the main villian and he broke batman's back. What a way to end the nolan/bale Batman franchise.

[Leetonidas]

This movie shouldn't have been called The Dark Knight, it should've just been called "The Joker."

[Biggems]

my friend was telling me he heard rumors that Anthony Michael Hall may become the Riddler.

I like the Penguin and if done right, he could be a nice villian...though I would rather have Catwoman....and if they did do a catwoman, who would you like to play her.....what actress out there can get away with sexy and sinister at the same time? maybe a charisma carpenter or alyssa milano.

I know if the joker comes back, it will have to be a whole new actor, and that quite frankly sucks. Ledger did an amazing job with the character.

I am glad they introduced two-face.

Maybe they can introduce the Riddler in the 3rd and bring back two face and the scarecrow (i cant remember if scarecrow died in the first one or not)

I dont think they should use Bane just yet. I think they should save him for the 4th or 5th one, if they are going to make more than 3.

I think it was just a setup for the next episode.

You'll see more of him in Batman 3, as he escapes from a secret prison he was put in after he fell along with Batman

[Spurminator]

I saw Anthony Michael Hall in the credits but I didn't remember seeing him in the movie...

[mFFL03]

harvey's dead...I don't know about two-face though....

they fell the same height...sure batman has a lil armor, but come on. I don't believe he's dead.

why is everyone saying the riddler should be played by depp or norton? the only reason why people are mentioning the character is because the accountant Reese vaguely follows a similar riddler storyline.

we definitely should have had more scarecrow "effects" too...waste of screen time for that villian

[duncan228]

I saw Anthony Michael Hall in the credits but I didn't remember seeing him in the movie...

I haven't seen the movie yet, but I found this:


Hall has a role in The Dark Knight, as Gotham City newscaster Mike Engel

An interview with Hall about it:

Remember when Batman turned Dent's head, saying that people should remember only his good side?
The memorial service was held not only to honor the good Dent, but also to hide his new identity from everybody.

I think they put Dent in a secret prison, and he will escape in the next Batman

[dallaskd]

The next film will probably be Catwoman, since when Batman is talking to Morgan Freeman about making his suit stronger, he says it will protect him from cats.


I just saw this for the second time today and i think you read into that too much. Batman asked if it would protect him from dogs. and freeman jokingly asked how big. and said they will protect against cats. i read on a website somewhere already saying it will be the riddler.

[dallaskd]

(i cant remember if scarecrow died in the first one or not)

he didnt

[dallaskd]

Im guessing the last batman will end with mr. freeze. and i dont really care who the villians are though i hope its not catwoman. please do not bring back joker.

[dallaskd]

Yeah, it was a great movie. Heath Ledger totally owned that role. Unbelievable how good he was. Never once did I think I was watching Heath Ledger playing a character, he was The Joker.

yeah he demolished Jim Carrey and Jack Nicholson. :lol

god they were both awful

[Trainwreck2100]

Mr Freeze has one of the best backstories of Batman's antagonists, but i doubt Nolan thinks he's realistic enough for a movie.

[O-Factor]

You know what would be awesome? If they stopped it at the third batman movie and bane was the main villian and he broke batman's back. What a way to end the nolan/bale Batman franchise.

Thats exactly what I was thinking. This series isn't the typical "everything is perfect at the end of the movie" hollywood ending.

That way if Bale is done with Batman, they could bring in another actor to be Batman like they did in the comics.

[O-Factor]

excellent point

two face should have been dead. he fell out of a building onto concrete. he wasnt breathing and they had a funeral. but yeah the lack of casket makes me wonder if in the movie they're playing it off as if Harvey died and the body was destryoed, while in reality Two face is locked up somewhere once they found out he's loco.

[dallaskd]

wow nvm i just restated what lefty said

[florige]

I think this movie is going to shatter all kinds of records for a long time. I just got back from the theater and I have NEVER seen a line that freakin long for one movie on a Sunday night.... NEVER!!!! I'll take my chances and hope nobody doesn't ruin it for me and see the X-Files next week and hopefully the week after that it will have calmed down some.....

[dirk4mvp]

I know it's a long ways away, but doesn anybody know when it comes out on dvd?

[florige]

I know it's a long ways away, but doesn anybody know when it comes out on dvd?



Waaaay to early for an exact date. They are gonna milk this for as long as they can. But my guess is somewhere between Nov-Dec in time for the holidays....

[J.T.]

i read on a website somewhere

I can find sites on the internet that prove Tupac, Elvis and Heath Ledger are all living in a condo in the Bahamas, sipping mai-tais and watching the sun go down every day, but that doesn't mean it's true. Comic book fansites, fanboys, and speculation are a ménage à trois of stupidity. People were wanting Riddler to be in The Dark Knight back in 2005 after Batman Begins came out. The reason I think it's dumb to do a Riddler movie right after a Joker movie, is cuz the Joker just spent the entire film fucking with Batman and every other character by leaving clues or doing crazy shit no one expected. The Riddler is too similar of a villain to make the next film exclusively about him. Catwoman makes sense because they killed off Rachel and now Bruce Wayne needs another female to fall in love with.

[lefty]

excellent point

Plus, neither Batman or Gordon said Danton was dead.

I also just read somewhere on the internet that in the comics, after a fight with Batman, 2 face was put in an asylum and escaped later

[CuckingFunt]

Catwoman makes sense because they killed off Rachel and now Bruce Wayne needs another female to fall in love with.

That's the angle I was thinking, personally, as they could never have done a Catwoman story while Bruce was pining for someone else. Or, at least, not a good one.

What's with all the Catwoman hate around here, anyway? She's a great villain.

[J.T.]

All they showed was Gordon and that big ass picture of Nick Naylor. How you can that decipher that he's still alive from just that?

I'll assume that he's dead based on the fact that he wasn't breathing after he fell, and they didn't exactly go out of their way to rush him to help.

Yeah Batman and Maggie Gyllenhaal falling from the top of a skyscraper and landing on a taxi and not dying is believable but Nick Naylor surviving a considerably shorter fall is just beyond the scope of reason, isn't it.

[CuckingFunt]

Well... he probably got a wicked infection when Batman turned the crispy side of his face into all that dirt.

[dallaskd]

yeah but batman was the one that landed on the car first and im sure he has some super protective shit on him. but still they walked it off like nothing as did batman when he took the same exact fall as two-face.

[Spurminator]

I thought Batman slowed their fall with his cape.

[dallaskd]

Mr Freeze has one of the best backstories of Batman's antagonists, but i doubt Nolan thinks he's realistic enough for a movie.

wow so mr. freeze and penguin arent realistic enough? Spiderman sure isnt taking the "realistic" angle with fucking sand monsters flying around.

[dallaskd]

I thought Batman slowed their fall with his cape.

he did but if you watch it he slammed into the hood and it left huge damage in the taxi so it was still a hard slam...from the top of a freaking skyscraper. no way the girl lives that...and mr freeze isnt real enough my ass...

[CuckingFunt]

wow so mr. freeze and penguin arent realistic enough? Spiderman sure isnt taking the "realistic" angle with fucking sand monsters flying around.

And the Spiderman movies suck.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Yeah Batman and Maggie Gyllenhaal falling from the top of a skyscraper and landing on a taxi and not dying is believable but Nick Naylor surviving a considerably shorter fall is just beyond the scope of reason, isn't it.

:lol I had forgotten about that part. Normally shit like that ruins a movie for me, but Ledger's performance was so entertaining that one tends to forgive ridiculous stupid crap like that and just keep watching.

I agree though, if Rachel Dawes can survive a fall from a skyscraper without so much as a fracture, Two Face surviving a gay ass two story fall shouldn't be a problem.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

wow so mr. freeze and penguin arent realistic enough? Spiderman sure isnt taking the "realistic" angle with fucking sand monsters flying around.

Hence why Nolan should stay the fuck away from that formula!

[MaNuMaNiAc]

I thought Batman slowed their fall with his cape.

Actually, I don't even think he did. I think the premise was that he broke Rachel's fall with this body. I only watched it once, so I'm not entirely sure, but I don't remember his cape opening up the way it does when Batman flies, which would have been the only way to slow the fall down. Either way, that whole scene is bullshit except for Ledgers "ooh, poor choice of words" part :lol
