Come anticipate "The Dark Knight Rises" with *BATSPOILERS*

lol Thanos vs Darkseid eh

ridiculous

you guys are overthinking it, or I am. talia and bane believe in the league of shadows' mission, talia still thinks her dad's goals were good but she couldn't forgive him for casting out her scarred savior/boyfriend, and bane is pretty much up for any challenge in life and still likes seeing gotham all fucked up

tbf he did figure out who Batman was, so they can skip the 'learning to be a detective' bit.

he's an astute reader of fellow orphans but is he going to be running the CSI shit to recreate bullets and shit?

he's got morgan freeman to teach him how to do that

wish there was a shot of the satellite dish outside the pit

it's actually fitting that the coup de grace of nolan's "let's not be any sillier than we have to be" take on bat-mythology is to have batman cavalierly give up his mission like a CEO

another thing that was the worst was that catwoman started off as being all, rich people are fucking it up for the rest of us and need to be held accountable, and at the end she goes off with a super rich guy to venice and wears a fancy hat

Would watch a Once A Thief-style knockoff movie that was just post-retirement Batman & Catwoman carousing around the world and avoiding boredom by occasionally cracking a safe or breaking up a mugging.

if they're turning JGL into batman why did htey make a big deal about him being named ROBIN

Robin was Batman for a while in the comics

Dick Greyson's main identity these days is Nightwing

also, movie universe != comics universe; the Robin thing was just a wink/fan service

as an aside, why do I know so much about comics I don't even read

stupid, nonsensical fan service

kind of the opposite of fan service though really. Actually having his name be Robin could only serve to enrage a comics fan

One weird big plothole/contunuity problem is the bit where Bane takes Talia (forgot her cover name) away during a courtroom scene. Then Batman turns up in Gotham and meets Talia, Gordon and others. Then Batman confronts the baddies outside and demands to know where Talia is.

Actually having his name be Robin could only serve to enrage a comics fan

Batman's real name is Batman iirc

Bat(e)man

Batrick Mann

i'm john batman

You're John Badpost.

...

gotta say, if batman 4 was the follies of JGL learning how to be batman while facing off against a bunch of b-villians like the mad hatter and the riddler, with morgan freeman all "lol" as his mentor, would see that in a heartbeat

just jgl practicing throwing batarangs at colorful wanna-be joker loonies

So Batman & Robin with no Chris O'Donnell and no nipple suits, basically?

haha, yeah, would see that too probably - "Batman Bungles In"

more like no george clooney, and i want it to look nolany still

batman's greatest boner

it'd be cool if JGL was Batman in the Justice League movie but he was totally incompetent

incompetent as batman, but maybe really good at shooting people

maybe bruce wayne returns when it turns out jgl is brainwashed by the order of st dumas, and his confirmation name was...AZRAEL

The Indonesian Batman with the fake Beach Boys-style songs is pretty great. Bat coffee.

or is it Bat Tea?

"Benign fascism" has been the entire point behind Batman for the past 30 years

tbh I wish the point behind batman was that he was a hard-boiled detective in a silly outfit with no allies or Supermans

I probably have to agree with my friends who hold up B:tAS as the definitive contemporary Batman though it's certainly been a while since I watched any of that.

when people talk like this i keep waiting for Linus to walk onstage and eloquently explain the true spirit of Batman

I believe in Batman more than Halloween, Easter or Christmas, that's for sure

ryan reynolds

as The Riddler? yes

National Lampoon's Van Riddler

RR wd be pretty bad

the twilight douche

basically i am pretty okay with never seeing batman on any sort of screen ever again

seth macfarlane as the joker

btw the twilight douche refers both to robert pattinson and my proposed title for the next batman film

slocki you diabolical...

Ryan Reynolds keeps failing upward into bigger comic book adaptation roles from Blade supporting character to Wolverine supporting character to Green Lanter, Batman is the next logical step

man i was ready to be all "hey who woulda thought michael keaton would be good, can't say what's going to suck" but damn, strongo. rpattz, corner pocket.
