Thank god for this thread. I'm interested in keeping up with the DKR news, but the megathread intimidates me so. Stumpokapow, you're my favorite mod ever.

On topic, he seems like a good choice for the role, but does anyone else find it distracting when you go see a movie and can't help but think about how you've seen all the actors in the director's other movies?

PERFECT

It would be wasteful not to put JGL in this movie. He can play anything, I don't care. Fucking fire Christian Bale and make him a next Batman.



Yeah, too soon for that. By the time someone reboots this series, CGI should be advanced enough to recreate a digital version of Keith Ledger. Imagine that.

I Lol'ed. JGL still isn't convincing as a leading man, let alone as a challenge for Bale.

Truth. Looper might be cool though.

He absolutely can carry a movie by himself, see- Brick, Mysterious Skin, The Lookout. While maybe not commercially successfuly, I think they're all damn good.
 
Nice. Two costumed villains are more than enough, don't need a third one.

I hope Marion Cotillard is not in the movie, it's bad enough we don't know what Batman's saying half the time....

It's not a coincidence that the best TAS episodes and movies either had no Robin or a nearly dead Robin.

Fuck all Robins. All of them!

To be fair, Return of the Joker and Red Hood were both quite good when they use Robin as a source of guilt and failure for Batman, although to do that we need a dead or mostly dead Robin and we just don't have time to suffer his introduction.
 
The final act of the film should just be a big 1 on 1 brawl between batman and cobra commander with jgl screaming "cobraaaaa!!" every time he punches batman
 
I think this is perfect for the movie. It really didn't need another main villain from the series. This also sounds like an awesome role for a capable actor such as Levitt.

Awesome news!


Also:

Dear Nolan.

Please insert a voice changer for Batman in the new film. I am sick of laughing out loud every time I hear Batman shout at some bad guys.


Thanks.

P.S

It'd be great if the thing changed his voice to a dub of Kevin Conroy.

The voice is great

I'm boycotting the movie if it changes

Blasphemer who refuses to accept that Bales voice is perfect.

People saying Bale's voice is tolerable is one thing, but perfect?!

Using Kevin Conroy's voice for when he's Batman would be perfect. Even if it's obviously never going to happen.

Once again bale will be outperformed buy the rest of the talent.

It's so easy to say this when Bale is simply playing Bruce. Everybody else in the film has the chance to outperform Bale because the characters themselves outperform Bruce.
 
The bat voice in Begins was fine. I don't think they need someone else to dub over it. It was just way over the top in The Dark Knight, which was weird because Bruce upped the yuppie act. They increased the gap between the two voices from both sides.

Except that Bruce was the best character in Begins.

He wasn't given much of a shot in DK...but given his sacrifice I have to think he'll have more of a chance to shine in this one.
 
So I guess Marion as Talia is pretty much a given at this point.

Cool shit. Sounds like the movie will be tackling themes of family legacies. Cue the Thomas Wayne flashbacks!

Also: I am still calling Juno Temple as Holly Robinson.

Agreed. JGL lacks the charisma and true gravitas of a, say, Sam Worthington.

Much as your levity is welcome, never forget that there actually is a significant Bale-Batman-Voice defense force on gaf. Which proves there is a defense force for literally everything.

Hey! He gave the best Alaskan Australian-American performance in the last 20 years in COD Black Ops!

This.

JGL's cobra is the only reason I went through that atrocity of a movie. :( how is it possible to fuck up something as pure and simple a dynamic as Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes.
 
Michael Mann should make the next Batman film (TDK pretty much was apeing him anyways).

Batman calls Alfred on a payphone while Robin's leaning on the batmobile. Then they drive to Falcone's hideout while Phil Collins plays. Fuck yeah! (?)

yes!

That's not his fault, Bruce Wayne was a boring character anyways. He's upstaged in both films (much less so in BB because of the party scene though).

But the actor himself is probably unmatched in these casts aside from Ledger and Oldman. Oh and maybe Murphy too (dude was great in that IRA movie)

Imagine the noises Bale-Batman would make during that scene, rofl.
