I'm going to be the arse and say these candid photos of Bale out with his family make me more than slightly uncomfortable. He's not working, he's not asking for attention. He's just trying to spend time with his family. It seems a bit creepy and tabloidish to be snapping and/or posting photos that h...

Put me in the "He doesn't need to" camp. Different movie, different villain, different set of challenges for Wayne/Batman. Bane has to be a compelling (i.e., credible and dangerous) threat to Batman to be effective onscreen. But asking as if there's some sort of competition between them is the wrong...

Really at this point I think the role Marion Cotillard is being pegged for is Talia because I can not see it being any other character.The only other female character around her age that I can think of is Vicki Vale Or Sofia Falcone. Or someone Nolan invents for the story (such as Rachel Dawes). I ...

I'd also like to see Chicago used as Gotham, for continuity. I'm wondering if the city or Illinois for some reason hasn't made it as financially attractive to film there.

I don't get the caterwauling* about Catwoman potentially ending up as an ally for Batman. First, it's a plot summary - not a detailed, nuanced take on what happens or how the relationships are actually portrayed onscreen. Saying they end up as allies could play out in all sorts of ways. They're alli...

Although why she would specifically be called Catwoman, I'm not really sure. Again, this isn't a hard fit within the world established by the films. Gotham's already had two named and costumed personalities dominating the headlines and city life. Not at all a leap of logic to see how the press coul...

I still cannot possibly imagine how Catwoman would work in Nolan's Batman universe, much less Anne Hathaway as Catwoman. ..which means there's a lot of room for surprise. ;) Really? The Year One take on her seems pretty compatible with the Nolanverse. So does making her a catburglar who's neither a...

1. The interrogation scene. Yeah. What fans of Batman have been waiting for since...forever. Best piece of Batman cinema, ever. 2. Batman tearing Maroni's men a new one and lifting him up from the table...and then dropping him to the street. 3. Joker crashing the underworld party. Best part is watch...

It's a pretty small reveal, though, and leaves a ton of questions unanswered (and/or raises new ones). Will she be friend, foe, or something in between? Will she be Falcone's bastard daughter? Will she enter the film as Catwoman, or become her during the course of the story? Will she wear a costume?...

On the technical side, TDKR is going to have a lot of competition. 2012 is a huge year for genre films, which are always heavy on the technical achievements/nominations. Look at what's coming out next year: Star Trek Avengers Superman Spider-man The Hobbit At the Mountains of Madness (maybe) Wolveri...
