Yeah, but I didn't think Robert Downey Jr. was going to make a good Tony Starks.... until I saw it. Ryan Reynolds was pretty hilarious as Deadpool, even though he only had about 15 minutes of screen time. I'm actually more concerned about the potential lameness of the Green Lantern universe on film....

Tom Hardy as Bane

Thats an awful lot of inferencing from one photo. But you raise many good points. We've had so few official 411 releases at this point, it's all speculation. The question of how Bane will be presented in the film is a difficult one. While David Goyer and the Nolan Brothers are inspired by the comics...

I am really hoping GL doesn't flop. But with Pirates 4, Harry Potter 7B, X-Men: First Class, Thor and Captain America also coming out this summer, not to mention Super 8 and Cowboys & Aliens, it has a lot of competition. The studio basically considered Superman Returns a flop, even though it made al...

Honestly, I think Warner Bros is focusing on making the Green Lantern not flop. They don't want any of the major buzz from the The Dark Knight Rises to outshine one of their two blockbusters. That being said, why has no one suggested that the Green Lantern might have a teaser trailer? It's subject m...

[SPOILERS] The Fire Rises meaning

If it somehow does end up being official, the Arkham Asylum breakout would basically fit into the TDKR = Knightfall + Prey concept. Except that instead of a Rogues gallery to keep Batman busy for a while, you'd have regular convicts in the street, which would be less dramatic. Not to mention that an...

A Tale of two cities. Book II Chapter XXIII.The Fire Rises

And while we're on the subject of Dickens, I am reminded of "A Christmas Carol." Ebenezer Scrooge is visited by haunting images of the past and is transformed from a greedy business man into a philanthropist who gets back in touch with his soul. While I don't think The Dark Knight Rises will take pl...

A Tale of two cities. Book II Chapter XXIII.The Fire Rises

I am glad somebody else spotted the Dicken's link when they googled The Fire Rises. I have churning this around in my head since then, and have been reading up on the themes. There are so many possible hints and clues in this passage, it is ripe for speculation. "The prison on the crag was not so do...
