Strange that Metropolis is what EW would mention when M is perhaps more relevant with its vigilante armies, the kangaroo court, et cetera, et cetera. I agree that's a more significant influence. Entertainment Weekly probably didn't think about it and just listed his most popular movie. Not that I w...

Nope. Every month that passes I think they're going Dent on her. Why would they do that when they've already shown her to us? Why would they keep one of the most iconic Batman characters under wraps, when her appearance is going to be a surprise to no one? The difference with Dent is that it's hard...

Not after The Lovely Bones and King Kong he doesn't. Why do you think he's returning to the well?

The only film he's made that's worth a tinker's damn is Heavenly Creatures, anyway.

Bane is perhaps only villain to commit his crimes in broad daylight. Football stadium, prison... And unlike Joker's attempt on mayor's life, he isn't hiding. What makes this guy tick?

Scarecrow has his Patented Cillian Murphy Headbag.
Ra's had Ken Watanabe and other "Fake Ra's"
The Joker had his "Warpaint"

Flass is not dissimilar to Eckhardt.

Prince of the City isn't my favourite Lumet film, but it's perhaps the most Lumet-y film ever. It's entirely claustrophobic - you rarely ever see the sky (and that's by design), and the film's perspective and treatment of the characters is fascinating. To be reductive, the bad people are right, and...

It's a pretty specific-looking pearl necklace. They don't all like that. As for being broken, among the list of things that would be very easy to repair would most certainly be a pearl necklace. And isn't Chill within a few hours of the murder? Likely that he would still have the remaining pearls, a...

Gordon's gotta survive.

Although if the third one is unique in that it doesn't end with him, the absence will certainly be felt. Like Han not being around at the end of Empire.
