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

Since Bane is in this, it would be awesome if it was based on "Knightfall" and Marion Cotillard played Jean-Paul Valley.

Ha ha :)

I like how when I open this thread, my browser loads at just the right place where I always get to see Hathaway's decolletage.

JGL = Holiday Killer

Wasn't the identity of the Holiday killer the main mystery The Long Halloween? And it the end it was hinted that the killer wasn't actually Falcone, but... Well, I won't spoil it. It's kinda weird that they're gonna use a villain who only appeared in that one story, especially since his identity will be spoiled by articles like the above. Unless Nolan has drastically changed the whole story? (I hope he has, TLH wasn't that good.)

i didn't like the long halloween, one of the reasons being the silly twist ending. (the other main reason being all of the godfather references.) but i suppose the falcone's are a good choice as they are among the most realistic of batvillains.

falcones

i read long halloween when i was 13 and even then i thought it was really hacky and cliched. Commando is the only jeph loeb product i've ever enjoyed

the jgl = falcone thing's already been debunked tho

And the new Gotham is...Pittsburgh!

Maybe Tom Hardy will be playing Bane as some deranged guy who just thought he was Mean Joe Greene.

Boo. It was fun to watch them shooting stuff around Chicago last time.

Dark Knight shooting in Pittsburgh, Avengers shooting here in Cleveland . . . it's all Rust Belt up in this here superhero stuff.

eat shit, chicago!!!

Uh, wow. Somedays I'm astonished that you haven't been banned yet, what with your friendly, winning personality and all.

It was a joke, Jonathan. Can we please leave our personal differences out of this The Dark Knight Rinses thread?

tam tam is kind of a bitch

I can't sb him all on my own, people

Okay, yes, we've well established that I'm a worse poster than Tam Tam, thanks for reminding me.

Jon, this thread isn't about you. It isn't about Shakey either. It's about Batman.

Regardless of what this thread is about, Chicago doesn't suck, fuiud.

Isn't Chicago standing in for Metropolis in the new Superman flick?

Hadn't heard that.

lol its funny that you guys think i'm all offended about that, i just hate TamTam

they call your dick the 'willis tower'

btw fukk u chicago r00lz!!

jesus i thought nerd threads like this were a refuge

Chicago is pretty cool if you need somewhere bigger than Minneapolis that's in the midwest.

Some more official hoohah reconfirming earlier stuff:

Warner Bros. Pictures announced today that Oscar® winner Marion Cotillard (“La Vie en Rose”) and Joseph Gordon-Levitt have joined the cast of “The Dark Knight Rises,” the epic conclusion to the Dark Knight legend.

Cotillard will appear as Miranda Tate, a Wayne Enterprises board member eager to help a still-grieving Bruce Wayne resume his father’s philanthropic endeavors for Gotham. Gordon-Levitt will play John Blake, a Gotham City beat cop assigned to special duty under the command of Commissioner Gordon.

at the end of the movie it turns out she's Talia and he's Alberto Falcone, and the end of the movie is just Batman kicking the shit out of the Inception cast

followed by a shot of a spinning batarang on a table

lol

I bet it will turn out that Collitard's character will be Talia Al Ghul, though

Yeah, that seems painfully obvious

Hollywood should just buy Detroit, relocate its remaining residents, then use the city as the world's biggest standing set. Imagine the destruction!

haha that's kind of an amazing idea

like, a disaster movie with zero CGI? that would be incredible.

Detroit won't last long; they'd probably have to buy Chicago & Baltimore too...

Nah, just hire all the people you just kicked out to constantly rebuild shit. It's a jobs program!

sign me up!

According to this article some actor I'm not familiar with has been cast as young Ra's Al Ghul, to appear in flashbacks:

So it seems more than obvious Talia will be in this movie (and will be played by Cotillard), because why else would Ra's be in it? Of course the flashbacks could mean Ra's himself returns, but that seems unlikely, because 1) if Liam Neeson was in the cast, we probably would've heard about it already, and 2) Nolan's stupid "realistic" vision doesn't allow for a resurrection by a Lazarus Pit.
