Are you really that unfamiliar with the mating rituals of small towns?

Bored to Dark Knight: a minor writer in Gotham's trendiest neighbourhood struggling with his second novel finds inspiration in the longboxes left behind when his girlfriend moves out. "It is an omen," he says, "I shall become a bat." With the help of his socially frustrated sidekick and a hedonistic police commissioner, as well as liberal doses of white wine and weed, Batman lists his services as an unlicensed vigilante on Craigslist.

Hey! You know that dumpy guy with the beard who was like a follower of Batman or something, going all vigilante in a homemade batsuit but with guns (booooooo) until he got hauled off by the police back in the first act of THE DARK KNIGHT, right? He looks like that guy behind the counter at your comic book shop who told you "You gotta read THE BOYS!"

WELL, BRUCE WAYNE SHOULD DIE AND THAT GUY SHOULD BE THE NEW DARK KNIGHT.

the dark knight starring will ferrell

xpost that dude done got kilt by the Joker.

Well, hell.

ANYWAY: Those guys in the cutaways at the climax of BATMAN BEGINS who are like fiddling with stuff and looking at computers in a very "OMG THIS THING'S HAPPENING AND SO'S THIS THING AND EVERYTHING'S ABOUT TO EXPLODE OR SOMETHING AND WHAT'S TO BE DONE? EXPOSITION!" - y'know, it was all obviously a second-unit thing, damn near b-movie-ish, kinda like the PC POLICE scene in Hawks' version of SCARFACE?

THOSE GUYS SHOULD SHOW UP AGAIN FOR SOME REASON IN THE DARK KNIGHT RISES.

The Dark Knight of the Lepus

"There's a herd of killer Batmen coming this way."

I'm kind of in love with The Dark Knight Clause, where Tim Allen plays a neglectful father who is magically turned into Batman and has to become filled with the spirit of vengeance in order to bring a smile to his son's face. With Chris Elliott as Robin.

batman v. grinderman.

nick cave looks like a comic book villain.

Perhaps J-G Levitt will play the Riddler as Nick Cave just as Depp did the Keith Richards pirate fellow.

good a reason as any

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ yes this is where the batman franchise should go.

can't really get into superhero costumes with hair that tall imo.

Anne Hathaway as Catwoman, Tom Hardy as Bane, sez Hollywood Reporter: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/blogs/heat-vision/anne-hathaway-cast-catwoman-dark-73418

not surprised

well I still think they shoulda gone with Maggie as Catwoman but whatever

Surely Bane is a surprise? I guess Nolan could do something cool with the character though.

i can't wait to not see this

It will depend on the trailer for me.

stoked

Surely Bane is a surprise?

not really, he's one of the few non-supernatural/crazy powers-ish options (the others being the Penguin or Catwoman. after that you get into some pretty silly minor characters)

Sounds cool! Can't wait to see this Cool Movie.

tho i just read bane's wikipedia entry (only being familiar with him from the back-breaking thing), and i guess it seems like he's a bit of a blank slate, at least for the film? he's basically just opposite-batman: hyper-intelligent, super-fit, but a bad guy. and not a lunatic. curious to see how nolan styles the character

I see the backlash is already in full swing, but I'm excited to see this. I'm not sure how well Anne Hathaway will fit into Nolan's universe, I haven't seen much beyond Rachel Getting Married that leads me to believe she can do "dark" but we'll see. At the very least she'll be better than Mrs Tom Cruise (what is it with Nolan and horrible casting decisions for female characters? Juno was an AWFUL choice for Inception too), but I'm willing to give her a chance because I have a hueg crush on her and would like to see her in a Catwoman outfit. Bane could be really cool. I'm still excited. These are much better rumors than the ones involving Johnny Depp, for sure.

yeah bane's supposed to be a tactical genius, v. methodical and shit - i could see hardy and nolan knocking that out of the park. hathaway is hard to imagine as catwoman unless they downplay the character's vampiness, idk

NEVER FORGET

lol, I never read Bane in the books and therefore had no idea he was actually supposed to be more than a hulking, grunting brute

i'm willing to bet the backlash was in full swing when heath ledger (lol can u imagine!) was cast as the joker. i'm gonna trust nolan's judgment, i figure catwoman will be presented less as a sleek dominatrix and more of a vengeful ms. 45 kinda thing.

I don't get why ppl aren't convinced Anne Hathaway could do vampy

I think it has to do with 94% of her movie roles being a giggly, bubbly girl.

yeah but her most recent one was that of an aggressively sexual Parkinson's sufferer, so...

Plus her HUGE SMILE doesn't mesh with Nolan's dark and dour universe. I think she can do it, but I can see why people might be cringing if they only know her from like Devil Wears Prada and the princess flicks.

HAVOC

wonder if theyll do a knightfall rip

yeah, i def had low (or at least middling) expectations for ledger. and i think this is the perfect role for hardy.

yeah but her most recent one was that of an aggressively sexual Parkinson's sufferer, so...

lol like anyone saw that

Havok was pretty funny but she just plays an insouciant brat in that

but hey maybe i would've been saying the same about pfeifer pre-batman returns, if i was actually aware of who she was back then - i feel like i can trust nolan at this point

Yeah, was gonna say, Bane is most famous in the comics for actually putting Batman right out of the game

i always loved that cover cuz of the dinosaur just goin 'hey'

he's just popping in to check out some muscles

lol, I never read Bane in the books and therefore had no idea he was actually supposed to be more than a hulking, grunting brute

same here p much, but knowin what I do now it seems like hardy will be perfect.

hmm

i don't quite understand how excellent and probably-soon-to-be-Oscar-winning actor Bale could have been so meh in Dark Knight. Hathaway is bloody amazing in Rachel Getting Married, much as i hated the film.

I thought he was pretty far from meh but what do I know?

The only thing meh about Bale in these is the increasingly awful bat-growl.

he's stuck doing that dumb voice, which is nolan's fault

lol xp
