Awesome fucking news! Bane?! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Zoramon089]

Health Ledger as the Joker was ok but not memorable. If he were alive today, no one would care strongly about his performance and he would not have won any awards for it.

Aww here we go again!

why am i getting the feeling that batman 3 is basically going to be spiderman 3.

Because you're on GAF...

 

[Grisby]

I always thought Bale was a great Bruce but a crappy Bats.

Yeah, I'm with ya on that one. Bale makes an ok Bruce but an awful smoke-lung Batman.

"Sweeeear to meeeee."

Gets me every goddamn time.

 

[Chinner]

i remember people said this about dark knight

joker AND two face?!?!?

joker was okay, kinda generic, harvey dent was kinda interesting but two face was a pretty boring and flat character.

 

[Jenga]

i remember people said this about dark knight

joker AND two face?!?!?

but those are recognizable villain characters

here we have catwoman, who inevitably ends up fucking batman by the end of the story, and bane who's just a big dude that smashes shit

I'm expecting a third character announced will be the main baddie

 

[VistraNorrez]

I don't mind his batman voice. It allows him to mask his voice (an absolute necessity) and it is more intimidating, if you can step outside your knowledge of Batman as a fictional character and see him the way criminals in his world would.

He sounds sick. That is not in the least intimidating.

Keaton definitely did the best Batman voice, too bad that suit made him look so stiff.

Except this film has Batman's "Venom" in Bane. Still who knows, film could be good.

Anne Hathaway is someone I've tried to hate, but something about her lips and body drives me nuts. Mostly the body.

I've never hated someone I wanted to fuck so badly in my life. lol

I guess since Batman feels the same, she's perfect.

begins had scarecrow and ra's al ghul

turned out alright

bane doesn't have to be just some dude who smashes shit.. comic preconceptions

Didn't Nolan say before that he couldn't see Catwoman fitting into his Batman universe?

 

[Devolution]

Honestly I wanted to see Mad Hatter. I think it could be pulled off better, and what would win back the minds of the people more than Batman stopping a child napper.

 

[bengraven]

That said, Bane instead of the Riddler is ridiculous.

Leave the Nolan trilogy off with a Seven-ish Riddler and a properly blue-balls inducing Catwoman and you'd have a perfect Batman film trilogy that would be hard to knock down for years, decades.

But Bane? He's hardly a classic villain. More like a victim of the 90s.

 

[Anton Sugar]

Yeah, I thought he refuted this himself months ago?

Also, maybe just the idea of Catwoman, not necessarily Selina Kyle.

 

[Captain Pants]

Ignore my previous posts about Ms. Hathaway.

 

[Guileless]

If GAF existed in 1987 would we have been picking apart the topless Phoebe Cates in Fast Times at Ridgemont High?

 

[.la1n]

You are fucking high.

In this thread: people discover that not everyone finds the same women attractive.

 

[Noisepurge]

catwoman is a bit of a letdown since she has been in like all the movies... I hoped for some more obscure villains like Ventriloquist or Abbatoir. And maybe throw in Talia Al-Ghul and/or Harley Quinn as the vengeful babes.

but anne hathaway is still pretty awesome, im sure they can transform her into anything

 

[madara]

Wow they are actually going take on Catwoman. Hell of alot is riding on them to restore the character, no crying I'm just a woman save me batman crap. Even Timm and gang didnt get her right. Black tight dominatrix leather has to finally go as well.

 

[Chinner]

begins had scarecrow and ra's al ghul

alright? batman begins was at its strongest in its first half when it concentrated on developing bruce as an character. the second half was just a standard super hero movie and really wasn't that memorable.

 

[7Th]

but those are recognizable villain characters

Catwoman is one of the most recognizable Batman villain characters.

 

[Replicant]

Three Nolan Batman films, three questionable female leads.

This. I swear his taste in women is strange. Eva Green would have been a perfect Selina Kyle.

 

[Talon]

Above post indicates that all GAF cares about is tits.

 

[Futureman]

I agree with others saying earlier that Anne is not hot. She is beautiful, but not hot. I dunno if that fits with the Catwoman character.

 

[Devolution]

Yeah well just straight up hotness won't save a poorly written character/film just look at the Catwoman movie.

 

[Talon]

Simple answer, she's not 5'8" or taller like Katie Holmes, Maggie Gyllenhaal, or Anne Hathaway.

MMMEE YOOOOOOOWWWW

 

[Primethius]

I doubt Catwoman (in costume) makes an appearance in this movie. It'll probably be Selina as a love interest. Or atleast I hope so seeing as how Catwoman isn't mentioned in the press release at all.

 

[drohne]

don't read comix, just googled bane, hope he does not look like giant luchador in movie. or if they do go that route, he should shout the names of various mexican dishes while he performs his acrobatic wrestling moves, one of which cripples batman

 

[Chinner]

i'm not going to go into a deep critical look of catwoman because 1) i dont know enough about her, 2) shes a comic book character.

but if i was to take this film 'seriously' (which most nolan and his fans insist on), then i don't really like the casting choice; shes too pretty and her tits are too big. should be someone more ordinary.

then again, if you want eye candy then GO HOG WILD.

 

[Guileless]

My theory is that the anti-Hathaway sentiment comes from people whose special ladies make them watch The Devil Wears Prada with them.

 

[Penguin]

By all, you mean 1 out of 6 movies?

OR are you including the Adam West one here which makes it 2 out of 7, and hasn't been in one since 1992

weird cause that movies great

ok maybe not great but guilty pleasure

 

[Discotheque]

fist half or so is fun. But like all movies like that once it gets to the lesson I stop giving a shit.

 

[anaron]

Never really considered Anne but I'm totally warming up to the casting decision. More Hardy is always necessary.

 

[Guileless]

I agree it's very watchable for a commercial movie aimed directly at the female demo. But some of my friends hate it for various reasons.

I'm looking forward to a pickup basketball scene with Bale & Hathaway.

Bale is changing it to Rugby

Same here man. I never finish watching the second half of those types of films.

I'm too cool to learn, you know?

 

[Chamber]

I think he wanted someone hot.

 

[koam]

I would have preferred that she played harley quinn instead of catwoman

 

[Fersis]

Will watch it just for Bale, easily one of my favorite actors right now.

 

[Lionel Mandrake]

Here's how I want it to go down.

The beginning is Batman taking on thugs and the mob, all while trying to avoid the cops. The belief that he now kills people aiding him in his fight, he's hammering the mob hard, and whoever the new boss is hires a European assassin to fly over and help out. This will lead to some nice scenes of Hardy in a classy suit enjoying champagne on a plane.

Bruce tells Alfred that he's getting fed up with the police interfering, and still depressed over his losses in TDK, he is beginning to lose faith in his mission. Eventually, while attempting to stop a burglary, Batman meets up with Catwoman. Before he can try to bring her down she gives him the whole "What gives you the right?" stuff and asks how she's any worse than the person she's stealing from. Batman lets her escape and is feeling even worse.

Finally Bane tracks down Batman, and we're setting up their first big fight. Batman is beaten and weary. He's at his weakest when Bane uses his mix of weapons and brute strength to take him down. Batman does his best to fight him off, but then all of a sudden...

GREEN MUTHA HUMPIN' GOBLIN OUT OF NOWHERE!!!

Awwww yeeaaaah....

Blows the hell out of Bane with a pumpkin bomb, legit! Bane's super-dead. Gotham is in shambles like never before. Joker ain't got nothin' on Goblin, baby!

So Goblin gets it on with Catwoman, and Batman splits, because he don't want to tangle with Double G. Glidin' around and whatever.

And I don't really care what happens after that, because the movie will be perfect.

 

[Noisepurge]

yeah i didn't mean it as literally all, just the character's general rate of appearance Adam West movie, Batman Returns, that one movie with Halle Berry that is better left unmentioned...

 

[Talon]

Willem Dafoe needs to play another villain soon.

 

[brandonh83]

It would be nice for Goblin to show up with a pumpkin bomb everytime some characters decide to give us a morality lesson. That would surely make it better than TDK.

I don't know about the comics, but if it's anything like the Animated Series, then Selina Kyle is supposed to be really hot. Everyone's totally into her, even Bruce Wayne totally wants her, and he's Bruce Wayne, he can fuck pretty much any chick he wants.

If I had an issue with the casting, it's that she leans more towards cute than hot.

I used my intense knowledge and study of the Animorphs book series to come up with this.
