Ever since TDK came out we've been witness to the most asinine rumors or gossip about this film. This thread will be updated regularly as more rumors prove to be false, hopefully by the time TDKR comes out we can look back and wonder how much wrong the internet is full of.

yeah it killed me (and probably a TON of other Bat fans) that people who are barely knowledgeable on film were thinking it was real :lol:

Miley Cyrus...

"omg...like..he like...casted-duh me...as...Catwoman...wheeeww...wheeeww yeah...omg..."

might as well hire the entire Mickey Mouse club as the rest of the League of Shadows

If that happened it would be the first time I'd say "I hope she dies in the movie"...and I mean the actress not just Selina Kyle.
