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

given the speed with which Spiderman was rebooted all of this stuff is just so, so plausible

they're already planning the next next reboot for 2020 once the fat kid from modern family grows up and thins out a little bit.

criminals are a superstitious, cowardly lot...

that would rule

just spent the last 10 minutes picturing leslie nielsen every time somebody mentioned liam neeson

Always thought DKR Bats shoulda been played by either Bruce Willis or a bulked-up Clint Eastwood, possibly a time-traveling Marlon Brando for the early Fatcat-Bruce-Wayne-With-Mustache scenes.

fred dryer imho

sly stallone as superman

all expendables cast would be cool

eric roberts as batman

statham as joker

Damon Lindelof writes script for The Dark Knight Thinks About It

Bale is all, "Science!" and Gordon-Lewitt is all, "Faith!"

Chloe Sevigny is Catwoman, Jim Parsons as Robin, Jonah Hill is the Penguin, and Leonardo DiCaprio in the title role. Directed and written by Joe Swanberg.

I have seen no Swanberg. I see that he is of this mumblecore thing. I throw up my hands and leave that to the kids.

oh shit, wait a minute, Vincent Gallo is a much better fit for the bat in that scenario

ha! sweaty bigface as king tut then

i watched this again last night and it was atrocious

^^^ "Honest Trailers" version of the movie, feat. the RedLetterMedia guys for a bit. A little on the long side but sums up a lot of the gripes decently well.

oh man that was great

lol @ how come everyone in gotham can figure out his secret identity except commissioner gordon

that got me a few times in the movie... "wait, HE doesn't know?"

It'd be great if the reason the other cops don't believe in his theories is that they also know who Batman is, and just can't possibly respect a supposed detective who hasn't caught on yet.

holy lols

Watching this for the first time, it's pretty good. JGL is surprising me w how good his part his, i think a Batman franchise w him would be pretty good!

its weird how he's almost typecast now as the other guy who stands around lookin thoughtful in movies while the main dude does the real stuff... this, inception, lincoln

he did stuff in Looper! And in Premium Rush, which nobody saw but was pretty hilarious.

premium rush ruled

a thousand times more entertaining than dark knight rises, and half as long

agreed, was basically a remake of "Quicksilver" starring kevin bacon, altho i wish koepp had made the script a little less disney channel-ey, ie. the good times bike messenger gang that can be summoned with a phone call, in contrast with michael shannon beating a man to death, man pg13 is weird these days.

Re-watched this on DVD - dbl bill w/The Dark Knight.

Loved Dark Knight Rises, totally stands up, but Talia is really underwritten, or snaked in an unstaisfying way. Very much apparent that something isn't right when Bane pulls her out from execution by exile. In DK the Joker notices Batman's feelings for Rachel when he saves her at the Dent fundraiser, and uses that weakness -- nothing here for Bane to go for so no reason to keep her hostage.

Another weakness is Alfred. In DK he gets a terrific line about chasing the Bandit in Burma, here is emo gooey stuff that Michael Caine (who I never cared for) doesn't have the chops for.

Still, Bane's voice was actually much better than what I heard in the cinema and the fight in the light totally works in its sheer FASCISM. Terrific.

YES -- seriously why do people like this guy, he is the milquetoast shia lebeouf

he's brilliant in Mysterious Skin. That was quite a while ago though

i'll admit i did like him in 50/50

Mysterious Skin is the only performance I've seen that really knocked me out, but he certainly doesn't hurt any other movie I've seen him in

well of course milquetoast shia doesn't wreck shit like la real beouf

i think you're underappreciating him, but there definitely is a bit of the Linda Perry factor at play, where people can't believe that person from the '90s can actually do decent work now

nothing since Mysterious Skin has dignified any "new Heath Ledger" talk for sure

also sd did you see Mysterious Skin, Looper or Premium Rush?

yeah none of those yet

<i>you really think ppl went to a batman movie expecting a long mournful movie that took place during the day and featured batman throwing like one punch

― Author ~ Coach ~ Goddess (s1ocki)</i>

Finally caught this on DVD -- I am definitely one of those ppl. Needed way more punching on roof tops and stuff.

It had the whole "trying to be more adult, comes off way more dumb" Torchwood vibe. I mean, this was sillier than a movie with robot penguins and Michelle Pfeiffer electrocuting Walken with her teeth.

im not saying dude plays that role in EVERY movie obvs but more than enough for it to seem weird

it's because he's an A supporting actor and a B lead

woah looks like jgl's gonna direct his way out past ALL your preconceived notions!

oh yeah it's a minor pattern -- but i brought up labeouf because there was a similar thing for a few years where in every other movie he was the precocious young sidekick to harrison ford, keanu, michael douglas, etc.
