Probably, only if it's because of the villains they chose (IMO both Bane and Catwoman are 2nd or lower tier)B.K. said:Is anyone else starting to get worried that they're trying to do too much with this movie?
I said it out of anger because they picked a terrible actress. She has never been known to have good acting skills. Plus she doesn't come off as tough or a fem fatel.SilentProtagonist said:You want some peanut butter to go with that jelly?

overcast said:Lol. I can't take somebody seriously if they put Nicholson Joker on top of Ledger. It really isn't close. Nicholson is playing himself, and his performance is downright lame.
The spoilers are marked in the rises thread with great care. There are some low res shots of Bane in his regular bad guy clothes, but you're probably going to see him (and much more) anyway in a full theatrical trailer.overcast said:Somebody should make a "spoiler-free dark knight rises hype thread".

Dynedom said:I'm clutching at straws here but anyway:
Could this be a Catwoman origin story? It's not that much of a stretch, considering this trilogy is all about Batman becoming...Batman. Selina Kyle was confirmed for the movie yes but that's it...Maybe she'll sport cat ears by the end?
Right now, it just looks like Selina Kyle riding Batman's cycle. Calling that the film's "Catwoman" seems premature and purposely misleading. We have no idea where the "scenes" shown above even take place.
I generally have faith in Nolan and will trust in his direction for the film.

yea there are rumors that have come to fruition in there, the catwoman on the batpod gives even more credibility to a rumor of how the story outline.overcast said:Somebody should make a "spoiler-free dark knight rises hype thread". I'm scared to go into the other thread..

I disagree. First of all, we don't even see Heath Ledger cut anyone's mouth, and it's an awkward scene because he apparently cuts Gambol's mouth and then... he dies?Verendus said:Key sentence.
I don't think many kids would react very well to TDK.
The same Joker who cuts open someone's mouth (something that makes me cringe), shoves a pencil into someone's head and manages to kill the main character's love interest. We won't go into all the other weird stuff he does like the hostage situation and his general freakiness. Add in the general tone of the movie, and it adds to the effect.
Show both versions of the Joker to a 6 year old, and he's going to more scared by Ledger than he is by Jack. One is a maniac, the other is an eccentric clown.
As a grown man, neither of the Jokers are frightening, but I certainly felt Heath's Joker came across as nearly unstoppable, which adds to his aura of danger, and the fact that he accomplished so much made him more memorable.
Haha. OK.RustyNails said:Nicholson's joker was hammy and plain stupid. His joker was on the opposite end of intimidating; cartoonish. Hooray, lets deface paintings! Lets listen to Prince! Poison gas and shit! Even more ridiculous lines to boost.
Discotheque said:Tim Burton may be a terrible director this decade but he was on fire in the 90s (as good or better than Nolan, Ed Wood was his Memento!!!). A lot of people here like to retroactively crap on everything though.
I disagree completely with your Batman statements, but I love 90's Burton. Ed Wood and Edward Scissorhands are great.Discotheque said:Tim Burton may be a terrible director this decade but he was on fire in the 90s (as good or better than Nolan, Ed Wood was his Memento!!!)
The sound doesn't, but was so great about that Joker is he could be dancing one minute, then talking to a corpse or killing his number-one guy for no reason the next.overcast said:Yeah dancing to prince was corny as all hell. Yes, I get it. He's the Joker, but that doesn't transition so well to the screen. It certainly doesn't age well either.
True, but I think Hammil's has the biggest variety of laughs. Also, anytime I read a comic with the Joker, I hear Hammil's voice.Discotheque said:The mirror scene was amazing. Loved his laugh too. I think all 3 jokers (hamill, ledger and nicholson) had impressive laughs.
Are you kidding? It didn't transition well at all. It comes off as incredibly corny. Ledgers Joker definitely comes off as insane.KeeSomething said:The sound doesn't, but was so great about that Joker is he could be dancing one minute, then talking to a corpse or killing his number-one guy for no reason the next.
The guy was insane. Nicholson is the Joker because he was able to balance the eccentric and silly side of the Joker with the darker side. I don't see how anyone could see his Joker on screen and think "this didn't translate to film well."
Nicholson's Joker, for me is timeless. Not only does he translate well to film, but he is easily one of the greatest on-screen villains ever. Unless you completely feel asleep during all of B89, you'd understand that the world Tim Burton created is far more surreal than Nolan's. In that world, Nicholson's Joker worked perfectly.overcast said:Are you kidding? It didn't transition well at all. It comes off as incredibly corny. Ledgers Joker definitely comes off as insane.
Our conversation should have moved to the other thread. So I'll cut this one short.

He created a "dark" world, but it was way too Burton for Batman. I don't contribute the surrealistic factor to the quality of the movie. When I watch the movie now, I find it difficult not to cringe.KeeSomething said:Nicholson's Joker, for me is timeless.

And both Nicholson's and Ledger's Joker's are clearly insane.
Hey, we all have our own opinions. At least we can all agree that Batman & Robin is the best batfilm. The rest really don't matter.overcast said:He created a "dark" world, but it was way too Burton for Batman. I don't contribute the surrealistic factor to the quality of the movie.

Agree to disagree though.
Well yeah, Arnold Schwarzenegger as Mr. Freeze is still the best villain.KeeSomething said:Hey, we all have our own opinions. At least we can all agree that Batman & Robin is the best batfilm. The rest really don't matter.

Mr. Serious Business said:How is a 28 year old "robbing the cradle?" Sure, Bale's 37, but the Bruce Wayne character is suggested to be younger (given his athletic prowess and image of a young, playboy billionaire). I just don't see it as a big deal.
