Alon Aboutboul Cast in The Dark Knight Rises

 Yes, I do believe it is podcast time!  As for the casting of Alon Aboutboul, I’m leaning towards Doctor Death.

 live one?

But seriously the more news coming out, the more I feel that the story has too much to say, and I just don’t think it’s a good idea to scramble it all in one movie.

DOOOO EEET Anyways…. I hope its Strange… He can fit so well in this movie its not even funny! He plays perfectly with every scenario thats possible. Creation of Bane, Involvement with the Police force, his own “curiosities” with Batman himself can even be shared with Bane.  Its too good of an opportunity to not include Hugo in this movie. to not include Hugo in this movie.

Ya know…. Chris Nolan started this franchise as a story about a guy motivated by grief to extreme measures.  He made the idea of someone, with the means and the will, putting on a costume to rattle the cage of a sick society believable.  Chris separated this persona from some — at best — interesting comic
books, and a string of goofy movies, to create a real character worthy
of theatrical psychoanalysis.  No super villains needed, except a guy with a nom de guerre — Ra’s Al Ghul — and a demented terrorist that smeared on clown makeup. He begged suspension of disbelief with barely plausible superweapons (microwave emitter to vaporize a city’s water supply and a super sonar cell phone system?).  Why not leave it at that?  Please, no more super villains or super weapons, or mad scientists (how about a good old fashioned bio weapon or nuke instead?)  There are enough real supervillains in the world — greed mongering CEOs, polluters, double dealing politicians, mobsters — to fill an endless string of sequels.  End this story arc gracefully, with an intellectually compelling plot, a reflection on how far one can go to defeat evil, the “end game” once crime and injustice have been virtually eliminated from a city, the pseudo-hero pondering his own future and spiritual health, and others questioning him directly (Alfred and Fox pressing Bruce — when is enough enough? are you satisfied now that you won? where do we go from here? What about real injustice, not just drug trafficking and money laundering? I’m getting too old for this, etc, etc).  They call the Nolan franchise a “reboot”.  That implies something was there before that needed an upgrade.  No, this was — or should have been — cinema that stood on its own.  This third, “final” installment in the Nolan version is beginning to smell like the absurd, fantasy teen comic, merchandising circus that was the now dead and buried comic book buffoonery of the previous series, which would suit Warner Brothers just fine.  Chris, keep this character the believable “Dark Knight” you created, keep your artistic dignity, and leave the comic book dreck to lesser movie makers.  “You have a name to maintain… don’t destroy it.”
