[That Matt Guy]

The first limey Batman.

[Barkworm]

I'm not sure if this is really good news... :|

[Peanut]

He looks like he'd be a better Robin.

[Taloniss]

I think it's well cast. I'm glad we got him and not one of the other ones that were up for the role.

[Karpo_007]

Beat actor to play Batman, ever. I wonder if WB is finally coming to it's senses.

[That Matt Guy]

I hope he can hide his British accent pretty well.

[Tetsu Deinonychus]

Who is Christian Bale?

[Karpo_007]

Latest movie I have seen from him is Equilibrium, and he can hide the accent. I'm really happy that WB is not going to ruin every DC license they have, Bale is a great actor and the only one that looks like Bruce Wayne.

With Nolan directing, a good Batman movie might not be impossible.

[Tetsu Deinonychus]

Never heard of Equilibrium.

And, who is Nolan?

[Karpo_007]

I guess movies aren't your thing...

[Tetsu Deinonychus]

I've never seen ANY of the stuff he's in, but he does look the part.

Actually, he looks more like Roger Smith than Bruce Wayne (but a haircut might fix that).

Assuming he can act (never seen him in anything), he could be a good Batman. Probably not as good as Keaton, though.

Nolan seems kind of indie-ish and I do LOVE indie movies

[That Matt Guy]

Who is Batman going to be fighting in this one? Scarecrow?

[Karpo_007]

Keaton was a good Batman, but I have no doubt that Bale COULD be better.

I'm not sure if he's fighting Scarecrow, but that is the rumor that is going around.

[Tetsu Deinonychus]

I guess movies aren't your thing...I prefer animation to live-action. And, I prefer independant film to mainstream. I think the only studio-made live action films I've recently liked are Chicago, the Matrix, and Lord of the Rings. On the other hand, I LOVE all forms of animation, especially anime.

Well, I do also like old movies like Casablanca. Studios USED to make decent live-action movies.

[Karpo_007]

Memento isn't excatly mainstream... I suggest chekking it out. And Equilibrium is similar to Matrix except it has a plot. Might want to check that out too if you want to know what kind of work the guys have done.

[Tetsu Deinonychus]

I might.
They sound good.

I forgot to mention I'm also a huge fan of Martial Arts movies and Chinese drama movies. (I'm a huge Brigette Lin fan). That sums up my taste in movies.

Back on topic: Who will play Robin?

[That Matt Guy]

Personally I think it would be better if Robin was left out.

[Voltron]

He doesn't have the chin. Batman needs the chin or else it just isn't Batman! Keaton 4 ever.

[Shellfox]

I saw him this morning and I can't picture this working and I can't now, he may be good, but something about the way he looks just makes me dought this will end well

[That Matt Guy]

Hopefully the blacklight makeup wearing street gang will be left out of this movie.

[Tetsu Deinonychus]

He doesn't have the chin. Batman needs the chin or else it just isn't Batman! Keaton 4 ever.Make-up could take care of that.

[That Matt Guy]

:lol: He just needs a little chin putty.

[Fugitoid Jones]

I think Christian Bale is a great choice! I'm not worried at all about his accent, after all, in "Newsies", he had a heavy Brooklyn accent. Also, the villians that are "rumored" are Scarecrow and Ra's Al Ghul. I don't believe they'll be teaming up, so I believe the rumors are for one or the other. I would much rather see Scarecrow than Ra's Al Ghul. Or they could've gone with either Clayface or Killer Croc. If only B&R didn't use Bane so horribly as it did, they could've used him alone. I also believe that the Boy Blunder will be left out of this film. Thank God.

[Dr. Doom]

I guess sombody posted it before I could.

I couldn't be happier with this news, Christian Bale is perfect for the role. Anyone who doubts me, go check out Equilibrium. As far as his voice, I had no idea he wasn't american until I watched some extra features on said DVD, I personally love his voice.

[Karpo_007]

Rumors about Bale as Batman started around the time there were talks about Batman VS. Superman film. I lost all faith in WB when they chose MgM to direct the Super-Man movie, and Aston Kutcher was planned as Batman... But today some of that faith has returned.

[Tetsu Deinonychus]

ASHTON KUTCHER AS BATMAN?!?!?!?!?!
WTF???!!!!!
ARE THEY FREAKING MORONS?!?!

[Karpo_007]

I believe they are. But it seems they have gotten some critique from angry fans and made the right choice.

[Tetsu Deinonychus]

I sincerely hope so!

[Fugitoid Jones]

Ashton Kutcher as Batman? What will they concoct next, Haley Joel Osmend as Superman????

[Taloniss]

Ashton Kutcher as Batman? What will they concoct next, Haley Joel Osmend as Superman????

I wouldn't put it past 'em

[Brodie]

I hope he can hide his British accent pretty well.

He hid it in American Phsyco, and that movie was hilarious. It made me want to buy a chainsaw.

[Brodie]

Ashton Kutcher as Batman? What will they concoct next, Haley Joel Osmend as Superman????

The thought had crossed my mind for him as the young Tim Drake.

[Leo656]

Well, last I heard WB still had McG directing Superman, Justin Timberlake being courted to play Jimmy Olsen, and Drew Barrymore being hand-picked by McG to play Lois Lane. So I still think WB is made up of idiots. The fact that they might have gotten a good actor to play Batman isn't enough to restore any of my faith whatsoever. I won't believe either Batman or Superman will be any good until I see it for myself.

After all, a WB executive summed up their philosophy perfectly back when Kevin Smith was writing Superman: "Kevin, it's not about making a good movie, it's about how many toys we can sell."

[Dane E5R]

I think he was in Shaft, wasn't he? And I saw him in Equilibrium. He was good in both, and just like most the brits he's good with hiding his accent. I think he makes a nice Bats.

[That Matt Guy]

Actually Justin Timberlake would probably make a good Jimmy. That is if he could act.

[Tetsu Deinonychus]

Who the hell is Justin Timberlake? :-?

[Leo656]

Former member of the Mickey Mouse Club, former member of N Sync.... probably most famous as "Britney Spears's ex-boyfriend who keeps getting caught smoking pot with his mom at crowded nightclubs".

I don't care how many records N Sync sold... taking Britney's virginity is definitely that kid's biggest accomplishment.

Regardless, if he gets cast in "Superman" I'm gonna hire Gary Coleman to assassinate him. He'll do it, too, Gary always needs money.

[Dane E5R]

:lol: :lol: Man Tetsu, pop culture seems to have completely passed you over. Where are you from bud?

[Tetsu Deinonychus]

My rule is that anything involving either Mr.T, Gary Coleman, or Pauly Shore is automatically good!

[Leo656]

Even an orgy? :-?

[Tetsu Deinonychus]

Reread the rule! :lol:

[Leo656]

You're one twisted fella, Brother Tetsu. Twisted indeed. I feel dirty now just looking at you. :lol:

That tin-plated F*cker waggin' his tail aint endearing himself to me either. I feel like a cat getting ready to pounce on a rubber mouse every time I see that thing.

[Tetsu Deinonychus]

Well, anyway Justin kinda sounds like a Doofus.

[Karpo_007]

Actually it seems that WB is coming to it's senses. Acording to this article http://filmforce.ign.com/superman/articles/437/437709p1.html They are thinking about dumping McG.

[Anarchistguy]

On the other hand, I LOVE all forms of animation, especially anime.

Well I guess I'm not the only one into animation.

[Dr. Doom]

somebody should tell that bum to go back to making music videos.

[Tetsu Deinonychus]

Now, who is McG? :-?

[Karpo_007]

Director of Charlies's Angels and a TV show fastlane. Trust me, you don't want him directing Super Man.

[Tetsu Deinonychus]

Man, I HATED Charlies Angels AND Fastlane!
I agree with you.
That guy's a HACK!

[Karpo_007]

Hopefully the rumor is tue and he is really off the project.

[Dr. Doom]

I could give a craptho, really, I hate Superman.

[Barkworm]

God, Charlie's Angels is like the most ridiculous movie ever. :evil:
I'm not a Superman fan but I'd rweally like to see a good movie about him. Unfortunately I read that the rumours about McG aren't true, so I guess this movie is going to be..., not too good.

[Tetsu Deinonychus]

Only Mr.T, Gary Coleman, or Pauly Shore can save that!

Of course, maybe the Superman screenplay I'm writing can take care of that. :wink: :thumbsup:

[Barkworm]

Mr. T could play Superman! That'd be the best movie ever! EVER!!!!!!!!!!!

[Tetsu Deinonychus]

AGREED! :D

[Fugitoid Jones]

Mr. T as Superman- "I'm here to save the day, foo! Lex Luthor, I pity you, sucka!"
