The Dark Knight Rises
 

And so we have a title to the next Batman film... Dark Knight Rises.... from what?

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20101027/...lm_dark_knight

Considering the last film ended with him being the scapegoat for Harvey Dent I get it. I assume it's to mean he rises from the ashes and proves he's a hero again.

Anyways excited about this. Nolan does what he wants to I expect this film to be good. Telling the studios he refuses to use 3D is already a plus. I also like that he wants to shoot it all in IMAX.

Seconded.

I look forward to this film, but I already know it can't possibly be better than The Dark Knight. It just can't. So I'll have to lower my expectations.

This should be good looking forward to it.

Batman Begins is already better than TDK, I don't see why TDKR couldn't be better than TDK as well.

Its a horrible title. ****ing awful.

Also, frontrunners for villians being Catwoman and Hugo Strange? That's pretty ****ing weak.

Just rumors man. Reading the retarded posts about this movie over at the IGN forums drives me insane... every one there is just soooo stupid.

But to stay on topic, I don't like the title. But whatever. I'm really happy they're not going to use Riddler, I wish I knew why everyone was so sure he was gonna be the main baddie in the first place.

I'm not crazy about the title either, but then I still don't like the title "Batman Begins."

How about "Rise of the Dark Knight?" or "The Dark Knight Triumphant?"

Actually maybe the last one should have been called "The Dark Knight Falls."

I wish they would do a movie version of Frank Miller's Dark Knight. That would be awesome. Unless they screw it up... maybe if they animated it.

At least it ain't Dark Knight Twilight or something.

What the **** does that even relate to, Ben?

it doesn't make any goddamn sense. That's not a reference to ANYTHING, let alone anything that has any bearing towards Batman.

Its not even random access humor, its like you're living some weird surrealist fever-dream.

I just...damn, man. Do YOU even find yourself funny?

Sure is Batman fanboy in here.

...but I agree, that's not even funny. :cry:

What, do I need to add a friggin' "wang" in there or something? :ohwell:

At least it ain't Bright Dae or something.

See, because Dark and Bright are opposites and Knight and Night are pronounced the same, and Day is the opposite of Night and Day and Dae is pro...

Okay, I'll go back to sleep now.

I seriously don't have a problem with the title. I mean, it's not as bad as Transformers: Dark of the Moon.

omfg! that's the new Transformers movie title?

oh the puns

THE PUNS!

Unfortunatly yes... :ohwell:

oh dear lord! :trolleye: :roll:

I too find the title to be very dumb. You got Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, and The Dark Knight Rises? It would of been better if it was something else without the Dark Knight in the title.

Wanna bet they wanted to and marketing told them no? DK made so much money they're putting it in the title for branding purposes. People no matter how dumb they are will know it's a sequel to Dark Knight.

ditto

yeah for sure

I agree with Turo on this. The title does leave me wondering though.

Also side not here, please do not condem me or threaten me for saying this, its just my opinion. I would love for them to do a Batman Beyond movie series.
(Turn away) Please dont shoot! :x

That was considered but never got very far. Of course a lot of things were considered before Nolan's series. Batman and Robin f'd the whole Batman movie franchise up pretty bad.

I like Batman Beyond but I don't see it working as a movie. There's not enough people out there who know about it and Batman not being Bruce would be enough to cause most people to just ignore it entirely. Plus Terry is a teenage so if they did make one it would pander to the Twilight demographic and we don't need that.

Why would it need to have anything to do with the Twilight demographic if its about a teenager? That doesnt make any sense. Any movie with a teenaged lead is supposed to pander to that demographic? A demographic created less than 5 years ago?

I doubt a majority of the people seeing Twilight are the same people seeing comic book movies. There's deffinately a Hot Topic demographic that loved the **** out of Twilight and the Dark knight though.

I would say it is because the new Spider-man movie is. Pretty much anything they can try and market to those kids will be. Comic book movie or no. It'll phase out but until it does there will be a lot of tween movies.

Spider-man can't attract twilight fans to the cinema. He don't sparkle or is as beautiful as Adonis

Yeah, Martin Sheen is a real draw for the Twilight crew.

Dude, Michael Keaton as old Bruce Wayne would be awesome.

Yes it would. But anyways I'm still trippin balls at Transformers: Dark Side of the Moon :lol: As if the other movies didn't already reek of ass.
The name for the new Bat Flick kinda sucks, would be cool if they used Batman Returr... hrmm. Maybe The Batman would have been cool.
As for the villain there are a ton of villains they could use (Nolan alredy said no Freeze, Ivy or Clayface). I dunno about you guys but I wanna see the Mad Hatter and Penguin, as well as Catwomen and Bane. Not all in the same movie mind you but either one. Call me crazy but I relly think Bane could work as a main baddie, as long as he isn't dumbed down and not portrayed as ahired hand. Instead of having the Venom pumped into him he could be a super intelligent Roid Freak. Played by Batista :D. Nah he'd f**k it up.

Yeah dude, I totally agree about Bane being a main villain. Give him the brain to match his brawn like in the comics, and he'd be awesome. Part of me wanted to pretend that Tiny Lister's small role in The Dark Knight was actually a Bane cameo. That small part made me forget the fact that he was Zeus in No Holds Barred, so he could make a credible Bane.

I'm pretty sure it's actually called "The Dark of The Moon"... no "side".

That's just embarrassing, I can't believe adults are making this sh*t up.

That's even BETTER:lol:. It's like they WANT puns to be made about the title. The Dark Of the Moon, like sh*t coming out of the proverbial ass.
Anyway No Hold's Barred was pretty bad. But Now thinking about it who would make a good Catwoman, Mad Hatter, Bane or Penguin? not all one person but ya know.
I think Eliza Dushku could pull off Catwoman and Adrian Brody would make an awesome Hatter, Dave Batista has the imposing size and strength to be Bane, but I don't think he can act. As for the Penguin, I dunno Dick Cheney perhaps? but that's just me.

Personally I think "Knightfall" would've been a great name. That's the one story arc in the comics where, if I'm not mistaken, Bane breaks Batman's back? Or something like that.

Anyway, Knightfall always sounded cool to me.

I'm with you about the cool sounding title, man!

I like how each of the previous two movies have really used the film title as a thesis for the movie. I want to see more of Batman's detective prowess in the next movie, but somehow I just don't think "World's Greatest Detective" has much blockbuster appeal as a film title.:ohwell:

Come to think of it, "Knight's End" would be a fantastic title for Nolan's last Batman film!

You're not mistaken. That's the arc.

That name would be great, as well as the incorporation of Bane in that way.

SUPPOSADLY leaked footage from The Dark Knight Rises folks! Fear and cower from the.... Bat-Scooter? What?

I have seen that a few times... I can't help thinking that it is fake.

They haven't even started filming yet, this is just bullsh*t.

Anybody who believes that for even a second deserves to be shot.
