I thought the real challenge was to make Jamie Lee Curtis look hot.

It worked :(
 
Somewhere out there, Tom Arnold is swearing True Lies 2 is starting production "any day now."

And some movie site is going to report it.
 
Probably posted, but promo image of Catwoman

I actually dig her look. Classy in a very Newmanesque sort of way.

As for that Bane picture, he looks way too fucking skinny and short. Looks like they made him look more latino in post, though. Should shut some fans up.

Actually, I think Sam Worthington isn't that bad despite Avatar being a terrible movie.
 
"Bane is dead...and I killed him." - unreleased audio dialogue from Heath Ledger post credits, shitting on everybody who thougth Nolan didn't have this shit planned out.


Then there's a 2 second shot of Nolan laughing to himself, holding moneybags in each arm like babies.
 
The fan boy side of me thinks they should do a name drop to honor the character that is obviously a pop culture phenomena and integral to Batmans mythos.

The other side me thinks Nolan knows what he is doing and won't even mention it. Kinda like how Ras, the events of Begins etc we're never mentioned in TDK.

Christopher Nolan knows that The Dark Knight Rises, his third and final film starring Christian Bale as Batman, is one of the most eagerly anticipated films of the year. But the spoiler-averse director is reluctant to reveal too much about his work before its July 20 release. “So what can I not tell you about my film,” he says by way of the greeting during a break from editing Rises in Los Angeles.

Even so, Nolan did expand upon our first preview of Rises (which took you to the set and offered some insight into the movie’s story and themes) and shared some intel about Batman’s latest cinematic adversaries. First, there’s Bane (played by Inception alum Tom Hardy), a cunning, hulking terrorist with a menacing respirator-mask and a small army bent on sacking Gotham City. “He represents formidable physical strength, combined with absolute evil of intention,” says Nolan.

Hardy’s Bane has another defining characteristic that perhaps you’ve heard about, or perhaps have heard and didn’t understand: a curiously accented voice that’s further muffled by the rogue’s high-tech muzzle. “It’s a risk, because we could be laughed at — or it could be very fresh and exciting,” says Hardy, adding that the voice he developed was influenced by many factors, including a desire to honor the comic book character’s brains and Caribbean heritage. “The audience mustn’t be too concerned about the mumbly voice,” says Hardy. “As the film progresses, I think you’ll be able to tune to its setting.”

And then there’s Anne Hathaway as Selena Kyle, the latest incarnation of Batverse femme fatale Catwoman. Nolan’s take on the character is no campy sexpot or frazzled ghoul but a shifty cipher, calloused survivor, and world-class criminal. Says Nolan, “She has a very strong way of protecting herself and those she cares about, which implies an underlying darkness.” Hathaway says she prepared for the role by reading the comics and studying the moves of Hedy Lamarr and Jean Harlow, the two screen legends that inspired the original conception of the comic book villainess.

The actress also found herself a trainer. “I had to physically transform,” says Hathaway, calling from London, where she’s currently shooting Les Misérables with Hugh Jackman and Russell Crowe. “Chris sat me down at the beginning and said, ‘Joseph Gordon-Levitt did all of his own fighting in Inception. That one zero-gravity fight? He trained for two months.’ I basically left his office and went to the gym and just came out about five minutes ago.”

With all that happened in TDK, how can they totally ignore it?

Ugh. I will not miss that Bat suit.

The Begins one was fucking perfection. But, like Bane and the tumbler, this suit has grown on me, at least to the point where I don't actively hate it like I did when it was first revealed.

A name drop wouldn't be the most shocking thing on earth, especially since
the plot does have something to do with Harvey Dent. But, it's also eight years later, so that makes it easier to not bring up.
 
I wonder why they didn't use an actual photo of Batman and Catwoman together instead of this photoshop mess. I know they did do a promo shoot together last year, so they do exist.

I don't see what's wrong with the batsuit...but I'll enjoy hearing what complaints people have...

Never liked the helmet, it looked so clunky. I really dislike the gigantic bat-mobile. I would have liked to see a more simplistic and sleeker design to the suit/vehicles but that's just me.

Say what you will about the suit, but the Tumbler is sex on wheels. When I win the lotto or become a drug kingpin, that's the first purchase I'm making. And then I'll pancake cop cars on my private island.
 
The mask is the only part that bugs me. Other than that, it's standard Halle Berry Storm/ScarJo Black Widow attire, which I guess works for film. Really one of Nolan's least inspired costume designs.
 
I HATE the heels (and the boots in general) and dislike the mask and long hair. Hopefully the costume somehow works in the context of the film, but I'm not going to hold my breath.

Regardless, things like this don't ruin a movie on their own. Spider-man had the ridiculous power ranger green goblin which is much worse than this, and it's still a good superhero flick.

This is a pretty sexy catwoman. Batman's mask looks more ridiculous. I hope Bruce gets rid of the mask at some point into the film.

I love the batsuit. It looks tactical and functional compared to all the other batsuits from the past.

Yeah, exactly. It's basically a bunch of body armor/kevlar segmented into pieces to still allow fully flexibility. People are complaining just to complain even though it's the most functional of any of the previous suits, assuming something like that was "actually" made

I just don't see how they can completely ignore TDK. Like it never happened, unless this movie is more attached to the first.

Well, again
they'r not. Part of Bane's plan involves Dent at least in some minor way (probably just revealing that Dent wasn't a hero). So there will at least be some references to TDK.
