Batman carries on beginning in ... The Dark Knight

He's qualified to play a supervillain:

- He has a 6-pack.
- He looks like a douchebag.

SORTED LADIES AND GENTS YR NEW RIDDLER

getting asked vs. expressing interest

Brian Austin Green Would Make a Terrific Riddler, Claims Brian Austin Green

"I'd really like to play The Riddler."
"So you wanna be Bat-mite, huh? Seems like a perfect fit!"
"...No, I said The Rid-"
"Sharon! Brian's on board as Bat-mite! Send me script 34b, please."
"WTF, I am not gonna fucking be Bat-mite, I only came here because of The Riddler."
"Let me bring out you to the actor playing The Riddler; I think you've worked with Ian Ziering before, haha?"
"WAHT"

</custos>

Here's his demo tape: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQU7HRJWS1s

haaaaa.

lol ziering voiced a character on Batman Beyond.

Bale learned acting from horses.

I kinda love him, cuz he's so wacky.

all that talk about brian austin green upthread, has anyone actually seen him on The Sarah Connor Chronicles? is he any good?

He sucks on that show, but I just sort of hate his character (Kyle Reese's previously-unmentioned moody brother), which doesn't give him a lot of different notes to play. "In the FUTURE, we would have killed those cops to get inside that building!!"

He sucks on that show

FITE

Hahaha.

TDK has now overtaken Indiana Jones to be the biggest worldwide hit of the year, and is about $20 million plus off from breaking $500 million here.

drew barrymore was my favorite ting about forever but then again i was 13

finally saw this last night. 30 minutes too long at least. this wasn't helped by the theater mysteriously turning off the air or turning on the heat about half way through the movie which made me struggle to stay awake. but still: the very first shot when batman drops off the top of a building made my stomach leap. there are shots like this in EVERY superhero movie but something about the colors and the way it was composed made it very immersive and realistic.

If Ledger wasn't dead would people still like this movie as much?

I would.

Same here.

His death adds nothing to the brilliance of his performance that I could detect.

love this movie

wtf @ all the haters

i cant understand how anyone can get all mad doggie about this film's approach to moral/ethical issues. it wasn't '300' or something

you have to understand, 6 days ago it was actually fashionable to hate on this movie

KEEP BRETT RATNER AWAY

Excellent work Ratner, we kill the entire greatness of the Joker having no particular back-story by making a feature film to dismantle one of the better scripting decisions of TDK.

ugh no

Haha -- I know the reporter, I'll have to ask her what she thought of it all.

Hey, it worked for Hannibal Lecter!

It's not out of order to say that Brett Ratner is a fucking retard, is it?

Dude wants to make a movie out of GUITAR HERO! Come on!

To me it's more roffly to see how badly Ratner wants to associate himself with the big summer hits just past.

"Yeah, a JOKER background story with ROBERT DOWNEY JR., yeah! Please?"

uh RDJ has publicly slagged off the Batman franchise ("fuck DC comics" etc.) = yes Rattner is a retard

I'd like to ask a simple question about the plot of DKR: did the Joker know that Bruce Wayne is Batman? Because when he's about to blow up Harvey Dent and Rachel, he intentionally lies about their locations knowing that Batman would try to save Rachel, so he therefore ends up saving Harvey instead. But the Joker could only know that Batman would try to save Rachel if he knew Batman was Bruce Wayne, since the movie doesn't show any special relationship between Batman and Rachel, only between Bruce Wayne and Rachel.

uh Batman came to save Rachel at the party remember

Joker threw her out the window...?

But did the Joker know that? For all he knew Batman just came there to interrupt his scheme, saving Rachel was just a side effect of that.

(x-post)

Yeah, he threw Rachel out of the window and Batman saved her, but he would've done that for anybody. That still doesn't imply any special relationship between the two.

Or maybe the Joker just assumed Batman is a big old chauvinist who'll always save the pretty girl even if saving the guy would make more sense?

didn't he make him choose between saving rachel or someone else (harvey?) at the party?

or the joker doesnt really give a shit which one batman saves and is a total schizophrenic psycho

didn't he make him choose between saving rachel or someone else (harvey?) at the party?

yeah this is my memory too

no the Joker says something like this to Bats in the interrogation room: "does harvey know about you and his little fiance? For a moment there, I really thought you were Harvey Dent the way you jumped out the window after her."

Joker assumes that Batman has a thing for Rachel, but I don't think he knows that Bats = Bruce Wayne.

But in the end of the movie the Joker says Harvey was "his ace in the hole", i.e. he had planned it beforehand that Harvey would survive and go crazy after Rachel dying.

(xx-post)

CHAOS dude

no the Joker says something like this to Bats in the interrogation room: "does harvey know about you and his little fiance? For a moment there, I really thought you were Harvey Dent the way you jumped out the window after her."

Joker assumes that Batman has a thing for Rachel, but I don't think he knows that Bats = Bruce Wayne.

This still doesn't make sense to me, surely the Joker should know that Batman would always try to save the life of any innocent person in danger, I don't see how saving Rachel automatically implies he has the hots for her?

surely the Joker should know that Batman would always try to save the life of any innocent person in danger

I don't see any reason for him to assume this.

I mean, Bats can't save EVERYBODY

the key line is this: "...the way you jumped out the window after her."

and about Harvey being the ace-in-the-hole: it doesn't matter either way. if they had managed to save rachel instead of dent, SHE too would have been racked with guilt and potentially corruptible against Batman, who Joker assumes is in love with her.

Yeah, but corrupting Rachel would've made much less sense than corrupting "Gotham's white knight" if you wanted to give the people of Gotham a lesson on morality and chaos, which seemed to be the Joker's whole plan.

joker bragging that harvey is the ace in the hole requires you to trust that joker is telling the truth which let me tell u i dont do for 1 minute

ok even if that does not happen, HARVEY WOULD HAVE DIED so the joker wins regardless. xp

If this wasn't his plan, why would he have lied about the location of Harvey and Rachel in the first place?

No, Harvey dying would've just made him a martyr, the whole point Joker wanted to prove was that even the white knight could be corrupted.
