Agreed with you on Heat being too much for Nolan to imitate. But Blade Runner was stylistically all over the narrows in Batman Begins.

Maybe in the slightest in the set design, Disco. But thats about it.
Really now? I'll give you Gyllenhaal, Swank and Carrie Anne Moss. No arguments there. But Katie Holmes is very attractive (especially circa BB), as are Rebecca Hall and ScarJo, and Cotillard is like impossibly attractive.

If it were Raimi's film, then most definitely. But I do believe this one is much lower budgeted than Raimi's 4 would have been (like 3 times lower!), and that a lot of the stuff is going to be practical effects over CG.
So post-production on S-M 2012 shouldn't be as lengthy as Raimi's films. At least I wouldn't think.

I am rather curious how Nolan will handle Catwoman.
Tom Hardy was great in Inception, though I don't know much about Bane.
I am so, so glad it wasn't Knightley.

He's supposed to be an intelligent man, on the same playing field as Batman. But he also is a roided freako. Whatever. Two differing personalities.ninj4junpei said:

Sidebar here, but as someone whose knowledge of Anne Hathaway starts and ends with The Princess Diaries, this thread has been a motherfucking revelation.

Bane handled properly was actually a great villain. Smart and patient, yet convincingly violent when he needed to be. Chose his spots carefully, and was only ever really caught off guard by Killer Croc (in their rematch) and John Paul Valley (in their first match). It would be much, much better though if the "Rises" movie simply sets him up as a villain, while he waits to attack Batman in the next film.
Catwoman is...eh. While you can't have a Bat-movie without a little sexual tension, she brings almost nothing to the table as a villainous threat that would compare with the League of Assassins or The Joker. Hathaway would actually be perfect as Talia Al'Ghul, even better if she did a face/heel turn halfway through and ended up on Bane's side (like she sort of did in the comics).
She was great (and hot) in Get Smart.

Really? I'd think it'd be the opposite, since this one is being budgeted lower than the previous films (somewhere $100-125 million iirc).
Plus, it's being shot in 3D, and even though I know nothing about doing 3D in post, I have to assume it's a longer process than post on a movie shot in 2D.

I fucking love Hathaway. She was fantastic, and adorable and so hot in "Love and other drugs".

So, not Catwoman then?
Blader5489 said:
Well, I was just speculating too. But when Raimi's film would have been in the $300M range and Webb's is in the $100M range, my first thoughts instantly go to:
- significantly decreased CG budget
- significantly decreased actor/crew salaries
- reduced location shooting

Don't tease me Sanjuro. That would be fantasticSanjuro Tsubaki said:
God I'm so pumped. I wanted hardy as bane or black mask and it actually happened. I can see Nolans version of bane being a dark mirror of batman, someone trained to perfection but uses those skills for selfish purposes instead of against crime. I cannot wait for this movie. I about to jump out of my skin.
BruceLeeRoy said:
I think you're setting yourself up for disappointment if you expect any more major casting to be announced. I mean, you've got a Batman, and you've got the villains. Alfred, Lucious, and Gordon are all in place. Aside from minor roles ala Rutger Hauer in BB or the dirty cops in TDK, I can't see there being anything else aside from a Cillian Murphy Scarecrow cameo.

They could kind of cast a major player in the police force. I'm not talking a third villain, that would be overkill. But since the cops are after Batman as well now...

This might be a dumb assumption but I can't imagine the budget would impact the shooting locations that much since it's all NY.Solo said:
I'm sure Azreal isn't in it but I agree that Leo would be perfect for him.

Lttp, but Bane? Fucking Bane? Oh well, I guess I already knew the movie would be an overly long snooze fest like the first two anyway. Not sure where all this in Nolan we trust stuff comes from. I guess he's a technically competent director (until there's a need for an action sequence at least 
), but I've found his handling of Batman pretty flat and uninspired so far.
), but I've found his handling of Batman pretty flat and uninspired so far.He treats Batman as cinema and not as a comic license, which I appreciate. It's less about the action and more about the process of getting there.GrotesqueBeauty said:Lttp, but Bane? Fucking Bane?

Jim Gordon? It's all we need, especially as he'll have a new dynamic this time, what with both hunting down and somehow aiding Batman.Discotheque said:
