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

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

lol HM I see what u did there

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.

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.

that guy is huge

If you see Hardy in 'Bronson', he's pretty impressively built in that, and he spends much of the film naked and often smeared in grease, so you see a LOT of him

They need a huge guy if they want Bane to look anything like he does in the comics, where hes a hulk of a man pumped up on super-steroids.

the Nolan series has generally been less about fidelity to the comics than meeting them halfway with a more realistic or plausible approach, though.

Hardy's role in Bronson is like an awesome British version of Bane imo. Perfect training run.

Viral videos ahoy:

i think some people were wondering if they were affiliated w/a forthcoming computer game, rather than the film, but it says that they're on a campaign site, so. i don't know. this film is still really far away.

An initial year-in-advance teaser bit floated out before the last one and filming's well underway so I can see something like this already being done. Who knows.

This page is mentioned in the third video

And some of the comments on there are deep into the 'fake or not' weeds.

so cool that it looks like they're putting the arkham breakout in the movie. That was my favorite idea in the bane storyline.

room for zsasz then?
