Would Jonathan be involved in a Batman 4 without Chris?

Does anyone think it's a possibility? I mean Chris has been pretty upfront about the fact that TDKR will be his last Batman movie. But does that necessarily preclude Jonah from returning? Or Goyer for that matter? If those two were to write a script and basically take over the franchise after Chris ...

Re: How should Batman 3 end?

I like the idea of having Batman die in the end of the film. Nolan's films are also dark and he loves playing around with serious dramatic tension. What could be more dramatically compelling than killing off the hero? At this point I feel that that's where the story is naturally going to go. Nolan ...

Re: Joker copycat (in real life)

Yeah, this was a big thing here in Belgium. This happened pretty close to where I live. The links to the Joker and the Dark Knight, however, were all a hoax. It simply wasn't true. I don't know how people made the connection between what he did and The Joker (I believe the killings where a year and...

Re: Nolan on Insomnia

I think what's interesting is that it shows how much of a 'hired hand' Nolan was on this movie. It's a credit to him that it turned out so well considering how much he had to kowtow to the studio (he didn't even have final cut). It's certainly the least 'Nolan' of Nolan's output, but it's an importa...

Re: Ledger's Joker to be in TDKR?

Heh, I heard people talking about this rumor the other day... and I'm certainly glad to see that it's nothing more then a rumor. I just can't picture it. The Joker's part in the Batman saga is over... time for the story to move on. i got banned from a heath ledger forum because the webmaster a fema...

Re: Christian Bale On 'The Dark Knight Rises'

Cheap? If you read the interview on paper it would go like this... MTV: It sounds like Tom Hardy is going to be an opponent for you in this one? Bale: Yeah, sounds good. Conclusion: Christian Bale confirms Tom Hardy is playing a villain. However when you see it in context (in the video) that confir...

Re: Sarah Essen & Julie Madison in The Dark Knight Rises?

Well atleast on the point about Joker taking over Gotham. I buy it in the movie. You provided good examples that I did not think of. One thing that is note worthy is that 2008 is a completely different world than 1920, even 1980. Technology like the internet and other advancements in communications...

Essen: "Hey Commish, fancy a cigarette?" Gordon: "Well, I've been off them for ten years..." Essen: "Ah c'mon, live a little!" Gordon: "Sure, what the hell." Essen: "Hey Commish..."

Re: Sarah Essen & Julie Madison in The Dark Knight Rises?

TDK was still fantastical in ways though. It only focused on real things like The DA, lawmen etc, while BB was a personal story about the beginning of Batman. The lawmen were there, it was just as realistic. The crime was there in a realistic fashion. The difference is that BB didn't focus on them ...

Re: Could Decan Blackfire be the Villain for Dark Knight Ris

Well, that can be changed since Ra's was "immortal" in the comics and Nolan changed that. But even if Nolan does make changes, he's still basically Ra's from Batman Begins. Nothing new to that character except his ugly hair style. No, he's quite different from Ra's. Blackfire's an outright conman, ...
