Re-upped my Amazon Prime. The price difference between Amazon and B&M for books is absurd.

Figured I would re-read the Knightfall story for the hell of it. Haven't read it since I was a kid. Either $60 at the store or $22 ($32 normally) on Amazon using my rewards. Sucks because I like supporting my local shops, just don't have that kind of money to spend on this crap.

I just reread it last week. I still really enjoyed it. I actually felt exhausted reading everything happening to batman. I thought that was pretty cool.

Are there any other good comics with Bane in it? Knightfall is the only one I know of.

In our exclusive interview with The Dark Knight Rises producer Emma Thomas in SFX #224, on sale 27 June, she states that director Christopher Nolan could never be persuaded to return to Batman.

“No. Never,” she replies emphatically when asked.

Is that never or is that never say never again, SFX persists?

“No, that’s truly a never. I cannot imagine a world in which he would ever want to come back. At a certain point it’s fun to go off and do something different, you know. We’ve spent almost 10 years of our lives making Batman films. He was very excited about this film, and the story that he’d come up with, but I just cannot imagine that he would get that excited about another version of the same thing. The great thing about a trilogy is that it feels like you’ve got a beginning, a middle and an end. It’s like an extended version of a regular film. Once you get into a fourth film then it’s just episodic, and I just can’t see him getting excited about making another film where basically you’re just wheeling in different villains.”

So you're telling me there's a chance?

I hope it is .. would be glorious

I don't think the world is ready for it.

Nolan confirmed for Batman Beyond 2015!

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

I assume it's 100 minutes of action scenes, not fighting lol

 

[MetalGuardian]

So I just checked out from my local library The Dark Knight Returns, The Dark Knight Strikes Again, and Batman: Whatever Happened To The Caped Crusader?

How hype should I be to read these? I know TDKR(eturns) and TDKSA are very critically acclaimed, but I've never heard of WHttCC. It's Gaiman though, so I'm assuming it's ace

He had it wrong according to another guy there. Wally said there was an hour of IMAX action/fight scenes.

Dissapointment confirmed?

100 minutes out of a 165 minute movie, directed by the worst action director of all time. Clearly we are fucked.

 

[Tookay]

Yeah I don't think Nolan's making a movie where 60% of the runtime is air-punching.

Action can be vehicular.

Action can be vehicular.

Agreed, but "fighting" usually isn't.

Whatever, it looks like this was debunked anyway.

God yes. Now you've gone and got my hopes up for something that will never happen.

You suck. :'(

 

[JB1981]

"The Dark Knight Rises" is without a doubt the best comic-book film we are ever likely to see — unless Nolan makes another Batman film, which is unlikely, because at the end, Mr. Wayne is on his way to the morgue.

YES!

dude what the hell?

To be honest, not really. Bane was one of those characters who never found his place in the entire Batman universe. There was a story arc with him and Ra's Al Ghul which wasn't too bad I recall.

If you are looking for something recent, he is in the new relaunch of The Dark Knight: Vol. 2. I haven't read it yet.

 

[Graphics Horse]

Internet: Where an hour equals 100 minutes

1 minute = 1 minute
1 hour = 100 minutes
1 day = 1000 minutes.

Why can't everything be so simple.

It's meant to be 1 hour+ of IMAX isn't it? Most of that should be action scenes.

Dammit, I had managed to forgot that scene.

Don't worry, I left out the part where the

Pretty much, the noise IMAX cameras make means they only really be used for action scenes.

Universal Pictures has bumped the release date of The Bourne Legacy from August 3 to August 10, citing fears of the box office juggernaught that The Dark Knight Rises is likely to be.

lol

 

[strafer]

Yep, movies better look out.

This shit will come down hard.

I don't think they are collectors versions, but they did come out this year featuring more isues than the prior trade paperback.

Here are the covers.

I think all movies ought to just move to the Fall now.

Has Colin Farrell ever been in something good besides In Bruges? Don't think that movie is going to do well...

Actually meant in another movie or television show. That's going to sit on my brain till I figure it out.

Ah, I remember it now, he was one of the main bad guys in No Ordinary Family.

He's been on a few episodes of Criminal Minds.

Dude really was desperate to win that oscar.

At least now he won't have to lose copious amounts of weight and eat raw animals to gain the academy's attention...

I think it's a requirement that every episode have a woman get raped or/and murdered in the opening scene.
