The Dark Knight Rises Villains Announced (1 Viewer)

[John 14:6]

No Joker is going to be the 5000 pound elephant in the room.Bane is a cool character, but I really wish they would find a way to mix the Joker in somehow. I get it, Ledger was incredible, but I'd rather see the most interesting character be incorporated in.

I like seeing new villains...

 

[Hawks64]

I wonder if they are going to mix in the knight fall plot.

Could be why it's called Dark Knight Rises? But if they do the knight fall plot, there is no way Bane can break Bruce and then have the recovery to rise again, not enough time. Not to mention how Azrael would be introduced.

Isn't that Gargamel's cat? How did he get into the Batman series?

Actually based on the Angel of Death see here.

I would love to see a movie where at the very end he breaks Batman's back. The next movie would be the actual rise back.Of course, given the title, that is not going to happen in this one.

The Knight Fall series would be awesome on the big screen as would Long Halloween. Not sure if you still read or read the series after the Final Crisis but it's an absolute travesty what Grant has done to this book. Horrible.

I'd like to see Pee-Wee Herman cast as either the Riddler or Bookworm.

This movie could be 3 hours long since it's his last one. If you break his back early enough that would leave time to find Batman's replacement. Fix his back and allow him to "rise".

Meh...Hathaway is pretty average in both teh hotness and acting categories.

Im sure Nolan will make it work though

 

[Charlie Frown]

Maybe because of Catwoman only part of Batman is rising. Hence the title.

 

[The Man With No Name]

First look at Catwoman coming soon?

 

[BigTex]

First look at Catwoman coming soon?

Now that would be awesome. Hathaway certainly has the, um, assets for that look.

I wish Nolan would do another one. I like the fact that he brought in Scarecrow cause he was different. I am not to high up on Bane although the villains in his movies have not had that big of a part. The Joker was on film for ~25 minutes only and Two Face, as Two Face, was less than that I think. I hope the movie is a good length but I would like to see Talia al Ghul at sometime to have the trilogy come full circle. That is why there needs to be a fourth.

 

[Leeroy Jenkins]

Did I read a rumor that Liam neeson is reprising his role?

 

[Charlie Frown]

Did I read a rumor that Liam neeson is reprising his role?

Yes. Was spotting filming scenes in London I think.

 

[Wyld Stallyns]

Did I read a rumor that Liam neeson is reprising his role?

Yes. Was spotting filming scenes in London I think.

Everyone is making a big deal of that likes it's a spoiler that he survived the crash in the first movie or something... Seems like an odd impression to get since he only filmed one scene. I'm guessing he'll be in a flashback.

That's my guess too. Still, I like it.

Someone needs to tell Michael J. Fox this bad news.

 

[dickey moe]

Hardy was pretty decent in RockNRolla. I think he's been tagged as a legit up and comer.

I think Bane has been misrepresented in most appearances outside his origin story The Vengeance of Bane. He's very smart; a mirror opposite of Batman who was born in a Third World prison and trained himself (much in the same way Bruce Wayne did) after hearing of stories of Batman from American prisoners in the prison. He pumped himself up additionally by taking Venom....a kind of super steroid that a young Batman dabbled with ( the Legends of the Dark Knight story Venom). I actually think the powers that Bane did the Bane story a little better in the villain Prometheus ( Prometheus )...so I'm kind of hoping they go with a combo of the two...rather than the straight Bane story. I also think it'd be a bit extraneous to go with the Venom subplot and instead just extend the theme from the first two ( that of the changing of the villains of Gotham from normal criminals to crazies influenced by the appearance of Batman).

I'm telling you, they're going to explore drug addition and steroids with Bane. Just watch. I'm not saying this will be bad. Nolan is very good at doing social commentary with a compelling storyline. Just look at The Dark Knight and terrorism.

The thing about his social commentary is that crime has been falling for 20 years. Nolan's corrupt Gotham makes no sense in today's world. We live in a world where a Batman isn't needed.

Shut up, nerd!

Bane and the bat mobile both look stupid.

 

[Dr. Awesome]

I agree it looks dumb/cheesy but I trust Nolan.

Bane looks horrible. ugh

Pittsburgh's been geeking out over the filming from what I can see.

Can some one clue me in on the order of the Batman movies? Is this one tied into the Val Kilmer ones? If so, how. TIA.

Really? This is tied to the relaunch of the Batman movies. First is Batman Begins, then The Dark Knight and now The Dark Knight Rises.

OK, that's what I'm asking. Thanks.

 

[Hawks64]

Bane and Catwoman both look awful. What is with that stupid think on Banes head? He wears a mask not some rebreather thing. And I can't tell if Catwoman is wearing goggles or if that's her "mask", if it's her mask again horrible. I trust Nolan, but these two costumes give me pause.

Lets reserve judgement after we've seen the final cut. The first 2 were awesome, so the benefit of the doubt can be given for now.

Well unless they redo their costumes in post production I doubt they will change. The other movies didn't have such outrageous costumes.

Just seems odd that you wouldn't know anything about the relaunch of the series give the very large amount of hype, and press that were given to the first two movies.

 

[Charlie Frown]

Bane looks lame.

 

[Kenny Powers]

The costumes will probably never look great, but their $500,000 cameras will make them look somewhat more realistic and grittier.

I think he meant the Nolan Batmans not the 90's mess. They ALL had ridiculous outfits.

The original with Nicholson and Keaton was balls-out, and still holds its own.

It was the best until Nolan's came out. Nolan's movies portrayed Batman as he is in the comics and IMO made Keaton and Nicholson's characters look poor in comparison.

Watched it a week or 2 ago, it was much much worse than I remembered it. Batman Returns is the best of the pre-Nolan movies, and it isnt all that good either. Its saved by DeVito and Walken.

Sigh... I know it's only a couple of photos, but yeah... these don't excite me like the last movie did. When that photo of the joker was released, I wet myself These not even drip :(

Theyre both awful. Big Nicholson fan, but ill take DeVito/Walken over Nicholson in this case.
