i think it's just pointless to wonder whether all the action IS in the city the story takes place in, like if they made some allusion to "well, Metropolis has its own problems right now!" that would just be a stupid fan service thing. besides, Gotham is a crime-ridden hellhole, asking why different villains are making trouble there and not elsewhere is like asking why Al Capone didn't do his business out in the countryside.

They recently kinda tried to address this in Marvel comics by making every US state have its own superteam.

Hey, Great Lakes Avengers brought us Squirrel Girl, so just focus on the upside.

(Fifty State Initiative actually turned out to be of some use during the "Secret Invasion" Skrull storyline, since the already-placed state teams were largely uncompromised.)

"Squirrel Girl carries a utility belt comprising multiple pouches that contain nuts to give as snacks to her squirrel friends. These are known, to much comedic effect, as her "nut sacks".
Please be in the next Batman movie series, Squirrel Girl.

i never actually saw the earlier trailer/prologue things that spurred all the outcy about Bane's voice so the first time i heard it was in this new trailer and i instantly thought "wow that sounds wrong, they must've overcorrected in response to the complaints"
― some dude, Tuesday, 1 May 2012 15:11 (eleven years ago) link
sounds great to me
― mh, Tuesday, 1 May 2012 15:11 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah the voice has definitely been heavily cleared up.

Whenever I see a drawing or clip of him I think of the bad guy from "The Road Warrior."

hate bane. such a boring villain. glad that nolan didn't feel constrained by his appearance in the comics.
― Choc. Clusterman (contenderizer), Tuesday, 1 May 2012 18:09 (eleven years ago) link
he could've been constrained by a flamboyant top to show off those muscles, though, eh? /tuomas

I think the idea has some merit, but actual comic stories with the dude are not that interesting

― Dale, dale, dale (Abbbottt), Tuesday, 1 May 2012 18:21 (eleven years ago) link
Unlike most super dudes, Bane actually has an in-story explanation for those ridiculous muscles, so I think it's fitting he wears a rather flamboyant top to show them off.

the only super-dude whose muscles make no sense to me is skeletor. why's a walking skeleton got to be jacked? preposterous.
― Philip Nunez, Tuesday, 1 May 2012 18:25 (eleven years ago) link
the thing about bane is he was created for a specific storyline, and nobody could really figure out what to do with him after that story was finished - so as a regular of bman's 'rogue's gallery' hes not so great, but for a one-off story (like a movie) he could be really effective

so he's genius + psychotic + super-roids? the shots of him in the trailer show him flanked by soldiers (as guards?), i wonder if there will be a 'military experiment' angle to him

Maybe it will be revealed she's called catwoman because she can lick her own butt, who knows!

she's using the same voice as from rachel getting married, if that gives a hint to what this catwoman will be all about.

my guess is that batman is captured, and that catwoman and JGL step in somehow?

There are at least two shots in that trailer of it looks like Batman being thrown down a well.

Maybe he's the cro-mag Bat-Man from Neal Adam's series. Or, even better, the evolved raptor Robin.
