Too bad the Nolanverse doesn't allow for Superman or the Mutants to exist. (They could work around the Mutant Leader, but not Supes). Also Bale said he'll never do a Batman film with Robin in the story.

So what? If they were to make a DKR they'd do what they've done with all these films, crib the main story beats and fashion it into something that works in Nolan's world. You don't need Robin or Superman to tell old-Bruce's story (which isn't even that great).

I figured people were asking for a straight adaption. I want a straight adaption :( I never thought of the other films as being particularly inspired by any one comic story anyway, I figured if they were to actually take a comic story and adapt it they'd do it no-holds-barred.

But yes, I would definitely be up for a DKR done Nolan style.

Stan Lee hasn't even filmed his next Marvel cameo, and he already has an idea for another superhero movie he can appear in.

Speaking to the LA Times at the Kids' Choice Awards, the beloved Marvel Comics writer and editor joked that rival DC Comics should invite him to shoot a scene for their upcoming Batman film, The Dark Knight Rises.

"I wonder why DC Comics doesn't have me do a cameo in Batman?" he said. "Just think how people would come to see that. They wouldn't believe it."

I think that will all change when Shane Black gets on Iron Man 3. That could be better than the Batman movies for me if he writes too.

Shane Black isn't writing. Some other guy got the gig last week.

He's co-writing it though, and still directing.

Not that it really matters, RDJ just makes up his own dialogue anyway. :lol
 
Flick the Bat Signal.

It's official. "The Dark Knight Rises" is coming to Pittsburgh this summer to film the third installment in Christopher Nolan's spectacular franchise starring recent Oscar winner Christian Bale in the title role.

"Pittsburgh is a beautiful city," the London-born director said in a statement. "We have been able to find everything we were looking for here, and I am excited to spend the summer in Pittsburgh with our final installment of Batman."

Mr. Nolan, a favorite of audiences and critics who also made "Batman Begins" and "The Dark Knight" along with "Inception," "The Prestige" and "Memento," met this morning with representatives of Mayor Luke Ravenstahl.

"We are thrilled to be welcoming the Batman film to Pittsburgh, and eager for the economic impact that our city will experience," the mayor said in a statement. "This is another example of the growing film industry in our community, and we will be rolling out the red carpet for them."

Dawn Keezer, director of the Pittsburgh Film Office, said the Warner Bros. production could be here for four to six weeks shooting in Downtown and nearby.

"They're still nailing down actual locations but what they really fell in love with was the diversity of architecture and the gorgeous buildings that we still have in Downtown Pittsburgh and the surrounding areas," she said.
Christopher Nolan's "Batman" films


Today's news has been four months in the making (and a couple of months in the rumor mill) and Ms. Keezer said the production had looked at cities elsewhere in this country and abroad. Mr. Nolan has been here a few times and staff multiple times.

"I think it's the most high profile project we've seen. I think it's as a direct result of the success we've had with the film tax-credit program that Pittsburgh is on the map and Southwestern Pennsylvania is considered now for every major production, which is great because it's all about jobs and money," she said.

"We've been thrilled with all the work we've had in Southwestern Pennsylvania but Batman's a known franchise. People know what Batman's about and we're thrilled that they have chosen Pittsburgh."

Ms. Keezer said it was too early to predict how many local cast or crew might be hired or what the demand for extras might be.

The film is slated to arrive in theaters nationwide July 20, 2012.

"A franchise as prestigious as Batman opens our region up to an entirely new audience as filmmakers and studio executives experience Southwestern Pennsylvania," Ms. Keezer said.

"The Dark Knight," released in July 2008, is the third highest grossing movie of all time. Its $533.3 million in North America puts it behind "Avatar" and "Titanic."

In addition to the returning Mr. Bale, who won an Academy Award for his work in "The Fighter," the third movie will introduce Marion Cotillard, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Tom Hardy, who came to Pittsburgh for "Warrior," and Anne Hathaway, who filmed "Love & Other Drugs" here.

Few details are known about the story at this point and that could be the case for some time.

Mr. Nolan will direct "The Dark Knight Rises" from a screenplay he wrote with Jonathan Nolan, from a story by him and David S. Goyer.

Christopher Nolan also will produce the film with his longtime producing partner, Emma Thomas, and Charles Roven. Warner Bros. Pictures will distribute it.

Stan Lee quote

Ugh, I can't stand Stan Lee. All of his success can be attributed to being in the right place at the right time. His characters are incredibly generic and unimaginative, and it he tried pitching these same superheroes today he'd be laughed at and mocked relentlessly.

"A man gets spider powers. I call him Spider-Man."
"A man wears a suit made of metal. I call him Iron Man."
"This guy turns into a hulking mass when he gets angry. I call him the Hulk."

It was a simpler (and more stupid) time, when the collective youth could be transfixed by lame and unappealing superheroes. All Stan Lee did was pitch the most obvious characters possible. Though none of his creations are as generic as Superman, he definitely comes close.

You can hate the guy all you want but it's ridiculous to try and claim that he never actually did anything and was just standing there.

Morgan Freeman confirms he's back

Freeman said he'll be re-teaming with Warner Bros. when he returns to a role that's become a fan favorite in the superhero genre, for director Christopher Nolan's third "Batman" film "The Dark Knight Rises," set for a July 20, 2012, release.

Reprising his role as Bruce Wayne's business manager and gadget developer Lucius Fox, Freeman said he's anxious to reunite with the director and fellow stars Christian Bale and Michael Caine.

"I've been notified that I'll be in the next film, (and I'm thrilled because) we enjoy working together," Freeman said. "Chris Nolan sets up a great atmosphere."

Freeman said he's not surprised that the anticipation for Nolan's third and final "Batman" film is at a fever pitch, and he credits the bulk of the excitement generated by the filmmaker.

"They're very creative films," Freeman enthused. "To go back and recreate a franchise like 'Batman' and to have people go gaga over them takes cleverness."

Do you honestly think that was why those characters worked? No one was doing character driven superhero comics, and he changed that in a big way. The stories were incredibly simple, but at that time, they wouldn't have caught on any other way. I'd say that Stan Lee has been too out of touch for too long to produce anything worthwhile, but his work in the 60s with (Marvel's equally important) artists was massive stuff. Art isn't all about how complex something is; it has a lot more to do with emotional resonance.

All wrong. Lucius will finally be revealed as the homeless guy in BB who Bruce Wayne gave his coat to. It changed his life.

That tangerine stuff is hilarious. I guess it wasn't just me who thought that the word seemed out of place.

CS: What are you most excited about for "The Dark Knight Rises," for you and the film?
Freeman: The most exciting thing about it is watching the opening, I'm telling you. Doing it, it's fun to work with Chris Nolan. He's really a terrific writer, a terrific director. One of those highlights of your career.

CS: Is there interesting stuff planned for you as Lucius Fox in the film?
Freeman: Oh, yeah – really good stuff!
