You just wish you were as memorable as him in Fantastic Four.

 

[Sanjuro]

christ, every time someone resurrects this thread I fear about Eddie Murphy's being confirmed as The Riddler

Shut the fuck up you. In Nolan we trust. HEeeeehehehehe!

 

[Penguin]

Argh whenever I see this bump, I expect new news or something.

Damn you Chris!

 

[Christopher]

Peguin don't hate me, love me.

Also the last news I heard on it was Megan Fox wanted to be Catwoman?

Also Penguin the TAS love in the new Batman game is amazing.

 

[feel]

Batman Begins was on tv a couple of hours ago, and while I watched it again, I came to the conclusion that The Dark Knight retroactively made it even better.

I agree. I watched Begins after I saw Dark Knight and I liked it a lot more.

really? Because I thought BB was quite bland. I might have to rewatch it then

 

[DeathbyVolcano]

I love Begins for different reasons why I love The Dark Knight. Begins is just a fantastic origins story that sadly becomes less interesting when Batman becomes Batman. Yet The Dark Knight, I love because of Batman the HERO'S influence on people, most notably the villains and the Joker.

Different movies and I love them both for different reasons.

Pretty much. I hope the third film is all Robin all the time and at least two of them die just for kicks.

how could it make Begins better? wouldn't it make Begins even worse?

it would make you realise even more how boring it is. how awful the bad guys are. how bad the action scenes are... god, i hate Begins :|

I felt indifferent to it before but now I have fun watching it because of its connection to TDK. I love The Dark Knight so much that seeing some of its people like Jim Gordon or Alfred (with the same actors) in another batman movie is great for me.

 

[jett]

Updating this thread because I found something interesting about TDK on video. It's on regular TV right now where I live, I felt like comparing it to the Blu-ray to see how much cropping affected the movie, for some reason(I'm bored ). Anyway, found out the IMAX scenes in the TV version of TDK actually use the full 1.33:1 aspect ratio of the IMAX cut(I figured they would crop it from the regular widescreen cut). I guess the people that buy the non-widescreen DVD actually gain something.

 

[VGChampion]

Funny, just watched it again last night. Love this movie. Hoping for some news on B3 soon.

 

[fistfulofmetal]

i posted a my re-watch thoughts in the general movies thread. so i'll keep it brief

the movies last act is pretty badly put together. it's too quickly cut around, scenes are abbreviated, and Two-Faces rise and fall kinda sucks. Now apparently this is all to do with Ledgers abrupt death, but whatevs. everything up to when Joker gets captured is pretty excellent. just everything after that is a mess.

It has nothing to do with Ledger's death. Filming was all finished when Ledger died.

 

[fistfulofmetal]

then i guess there's no excuse for why that part of the movie sucked.

Time to dust off this thread

http://www.deadline.com/hollywood/flashforward-showrunner-exits-for-features/

FlashForward, ABC's heir apparent to Lost which just began its final season, is in turmoil again. It was already on its 2nd showrunner after Marc Guggenheim exited in October. Since then, I've been receiving reports of a lot of "infighting" and "backbiting" inside the show. Now FlashForward showrunner David Goyer has left with 5 episodes still to shoot. Of course, Goyer's feature career is really heating up, since he co-wrote Batman Begins, and penned the story for The Dark Knight, and is now writing the third Batman installment with Chris Nolan's brother Jonah. ("As my feature projects have started ramping up again, I felt I was being pulled in too many directions," Goyer said in a statement. "I'm proud of the show and excited about the relaunch. It's in great hands.")

 

[gdt]

FlashForward sucks. Hope that black hole didn't drain any of his talent.

 

[Guzim]

 

[Ninja Scooter]

it was officially announced on Saturday Night Live yesterday. Batman 3: Revenge of the Joker.

 

[DMczaf]

I know my sources are going to be pissed, but heres the first poster

 

[Penguin]

Awesome, assumed that was what happened when pulled out of being show runner.

 

[MMaRsu]

What ep is that? I don't remember..

 

[∀ Narayan]

Third and final, I hope.

 

[DMczaf]

<Nolan> Quit Flashforward or I find another Batman fanboy who can do your job

 

[Expendable.]

has Nolan definitely signed on for the third film?

 

[oatmeal]

What ep is that? I don't remember..

Pilot.

The Gang Gets Racist, or whatever.

 

[Darth Pinche]

That poster can't be for real, way too early. It would be cool though.

Duh.

Uh, don't know how much weight I would put into deadline article, especially when it is mentioned as a minor footnote of the news. Mentioned on Variety yesterday without that news, so it sounds like wishful thinking on their part. Same as a lot of news sites claiming Cameron's next project is Battle Angel slated for 2011 whilst reporting about AVATAR sequels.

 

[Darko]

I dont know.. looks real to me.


















:lol

 

[Mike Works]

i'm looking forward to the third batman movie as much as anyone, but i'm really not a fan of casting Javier Bardem as Robin

Nolan's universe does not need a Robin

 

[Costanza]

That poster can't be for real, way too early. It would be cool though.

wow

 

[Anticitizen One]

Nolan's Batman universe is about Batman's earliest adventures so obviously there wont be robin.

 

[ezekial45]

Almost forgot about this thread for a sec. Can't wait for the hype to start again.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

no Eddie Murphy either is the tip off.

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

penned the story for The Dark Knight,

What? I was pretty sure he had nothing to do with it.

and is now writing the third Batman installment with Chris Nolan's brother Jonah.

And, I mean, is Goyer even really necessary at this point? I think the Nolans can take it from here.

 

[gdt]

Wait..yeah.

I though Goyer had nothing to do with TDK?

Deadline sucks balls.

Edit: There you go.

 

[DMczaf]

What? I was pretty sure he had nothing to do with it.

"Written by" and "Story by" are 2 seperate credits

Goyer co-wrote Begins with Chris, but he only did the story with Chris for TDK and then Jonah knocked out the actual script.

 

[gdt]

Another thing..

Wasn't Jonah Nolan arrested for something? Or am I thinking of another celebrity-relative person?

Goyer came up with the concept for TDK with Nolan, while the two brothers wrote the actual script. I think he should be involved, imo. He is the one that convinced Nolan to keep Scarecorw's mask after all. I like to think he helps retain the comic book elements, while the Nolans do everything else.

EDIT:

I read that their other brother was arrested for murder.

EDIT: here it is. Matthew Francis Nolan

[SpeedingUptoStop]

Well, here's to sticking with the rough sketches, because Goyer's been shit outside of the comic book movies.

 

[Sanjuro]

I miss this thread. Every poster here is worse outside this thread.

It's like returning to a home you moved out of. They've painted different colors on the walls!

Probably the most important question...

How do you top a title as badass as The Dark Knight? There's no going back to "Batman Something".

The Dark Knight Something

But yeah, I mean all the good sounding ones were the first time around so who knows.

I still think naming like comic, Batman: Something Villain Related.

The Darkest Knight (with Wesley Snipes as Batman)
