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

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
― Indolence Mission (DJP), Wednesday, 19 January 2011 18:33 (thirteen years ago) link
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...
― Indolence Mission (DJP), Wednesday, 19 January 2011 18:35 (thirteen years ago) link
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.

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

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
― Princess TamTam, Wednesday, 19 January 2011 18:38 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah, was gonna say, Bane is most famous in the comics for actually putting Batman right out of the game

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.
― piscesx, Wednesday, 19 January 2011 19:48 (thirteen years ago) link

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

Being in the same movie as such a showy performance as Ledger's Joker didn't help him either. It's always gonna be more fun to play the villain.

my only hope for the next Batman movie is that her Catwoman suit becomes as popular with 20something women on Halloween as Heath Ledger's Joker make-up was with teenage boys. I don't care about the rest of the franchise, or integrity of the comic or character.
― Cunga, Wednesday, 19 January 2011 20:49 (thirteen years ago) link
I suppose there is a lack of girls wearing revealing clothing on Halloween these days
― Number None, Wednesday, 19 January 2011 21:02 (thirteen years ago) link
i judge movies these days by the memes they will create and whether or not they will promote heterosexual male leering.

FWIW "The Dark Knight Rises" is tracking incredibly well right now, on both fronts.
― Cunga, Wednesday, 19 January 2011 21:08 (thirteen years ago) link
not sure how well Anne Hathaway will fit into Nolan's universe
less a question of how well she fits into nolan's universe and more a question of how well she fits into the catsuit.
i figure catwoman will be presented less as a sleek dominatrix and more of a vengeful ms. 45 kinda thing.
don't know what "vengeful ms. 45 kinda thing" means, but they should veer toward the "sleek dominatrix" side to the character imo. no matter how they play it, catwoman is lame.
i can't wait to not see this
kind of feelin' this way tbh.

I got Batman: Arkham Asylum for christmas and just beat it a few days ago.
It was an extraordinary game. That game made me more interested in finding out all the Batman villains than any other Batman merchandise combined (and no I have not read the comics).
I wasn't really familiar with Bane, Killer Croc, Clayface, Scarface or Mr. Zsasz but because Arkham Asylum was such a good game (could of been longer though) I freaking love all of them. And the next game is gonna have Dr. Hugo Stange for sure, so I know I'll like him too. I actually believe that any villian has potential at this point.
So another Dark Knight movie produced by Christopher Nolan with story by Christopher Nolan (not credited for writing though) will have to score at least a 70 on metacritic. (The Dark Knight got a 82)
Just being immersed in Gotham again, like in the video game, will be amazing for me.

The fact that the 60s Batman isn't issued on glorious DVD box set because it doesn't fit in with the dark, gritty Nolan versions is the biggest fail of all. It's a large part of my personal TDKR backlash-even tho i actually enjoyed the previous film.
