I remember booing the trailer for Catwoman when I saw Spider-Man 2. I got some applause, it was awesome.

Well, he wrote hte first treatment. A dozen writers have since worked over it. Hopefully, everything even remotely "John Rogers" has been worked out of that thing.

Sorry I have to disagree here......there has never been a villian in the Batman universe that became what they feared, in fact each one has embraced the new role they created for them selves. Each one before they became there famous villain persona was on the brink of a mental crash in some cases and some thing led them to become what they are now, but never fear. Usually a accident in a lab, thrown into a chemical bath, acid thrown in the face brining about a second personality or just emboding there obsession like the Riddler for example.

In Batman Begins in the scene where Batman is rescuing the boy (Tim Drake? ). Just as he's pulling him up to the roof you can distinctly hear in the crowd of people effected by the fear agent one of them whispering "Joker"....

So altho yes none of the villians have ever become what they feared...however this is where the storyline is going for the new Batman movie series.

Maybe in a fanfiction of an RPG all the Bat-villains have become what they fear, but not in the regular DCU. Just because the first movie had a fear serum in it, doesn't mean that the villains will all have the same origin. And lo and behold, someone said the name Joker. Could it be that the evil clown just happened to be present at the scene? I mean, we know that he is running loose in Gotham, but we don't know for how long he's been around. And my guess is that he's been there for quite some time.

And yes, the boy must have been Tim Drake. He must have. Absolutely. Because there's only one Tim in Gotham. Again, with the fanfiction-thinking.

And let's have a look at Poison Ivy, how she "became what she feared": Pamela Isley grew up and studied advanced botanical biochemistry which kind of implies, if not prooves, that Pamela Isley was not afraid of plants.

What about Two-Face then? Would a guy afraid of crime become a district attoney? I don't think so. Would the Joker have been a comedian (as established in Detective Comics #826) if he was afraid of comedic acts? Not very likely. Catwoman as a catloving dominatrix/prostitute before she became Catwoman? I doubt it.

So, whichever way you turn it, you're wrong, I'm afraid. None of your fanfiction-thoughts play out when applied to the real thing. I'd drop that argument if I was you, for your own credibility's sake.

It doesn't even matter if the boy was Tim Drake, since I'm pretty sure Nolan said Robin would never be part of the movie franchise as long as he was involved (And if they did decide to add Robin, it would probably be Grayson anyway).

Why does that boy have to be Tim Drake? Thats the first I've heard that, usually I get Jason Todd for that one. And no its not Jason, the boy was just a nameless kid used to help move the plot of the story along.

And I really would like to see where your getting the idea that in the begins series that ALL the villains will be having origins that deal with the fear toxin and becoming what they fear? Because Goyer him self said this about Two face.....

Spoiler:
When they capture the Joker at some point he throws acid at harveys face causing him to become Two Face


And as far as we know the Joker could have been around far longer then we know....

I like Rachel McAdams, and I'd be interested in seeing if she could pull off Catwoman. Harley Quinn would be interesting, too.

I have no problem seeing The Joker again, since maybe this time we'll get a more comic-like Joker and not Jack Nicholson dressed as The Joker. I don't think we're going to see Two-Face in the second movie just yet, I think they want to introduce him as the DA first.

After seeing Chris O'Donnel as Robin I would hate to see Robin in the current series--it would screw it up as far as I'm concerned. Christian Bale's Batman is BADASS, and part of that is the fact the he's just a guy with some gadgets and cool vehicle for spelunking. JUST ONE GUY fighting a war against crime. That was part of what made Batman 1989 so cool. Keaton was JUST ONE GUY. Unless they could figure out a way to give the charcter depth, I can't see a Robin in the Begins universe.

Just because they screwed up Robin once doesn't make it a bad idea. Chris O'Donell Robin didn't make much sense because the guy was 25 and went to live with Bruce Wayne. But if they got someone in their teens it could work. Young enough so that it makes sense for them to be taken in by Batman, but old enough so it doesn't seem as wrong for Batman to put them in danger.

Robin is an essential part of the Batman story, because he is what keeps Batman from going too nuts.

I could have sworn that one of the concepts of this new Batman franchise was that villains used in previous films were not to be used. So I've heard. Regardless, the movie uses realism to an extent that the other Batman films did not touch, so in my opinion only the ones that can be depicted as realistically as possible should be used. I don't see how Clayface, Mister Freeze, and Poison Ivy could be used as such.

The Dark Knight

The offical site just launched a few days ago along with it an ad for harvey Dent. Which can all be found here http://thedarkknight.warnerbros.com/images/tdk_logo.jpg

nothing special I know but its killing me. I want to see this!

Well a few days after that went up a comic book store reported that they found a few joker cards lying around in the store that said

"I believe in Harvey Dent too, HAHAHAHA"

Source: http://www.superherohype.com/news/topnews.php?id=5710


Any way today a new site popped up called I believe in Harvey Dent too
http://www.ibelieveinharveydenttoo.com/
Which you can see is a play off of the Harvey dent site. Well no news has broke out yet to claim if this is offical or fake, either way its pretty cool.

If you enter your email and the code a email will be sent to you by TragicPast that says
'I always say, you never know what a man is truly made of until you peel
the skin off his face one piece at a time."

When you receive this you can take one pixel off the picture to reveal the image hidden under harveys. Which most have broken down into this.

Spoiler:



Take it as you want but nothing has been said by the WB if those last two are offical.

The only thing is if you go to http://ibelieveinharveydent.com you get sent to the official Warner Bros website (aka http://ibelieveinharveydent.warnerbros.com). However, you do not get redirected to Warner Bros when you go to http://www.ibelieveinharveydenttoo.com/.

Me I'm not one of those people hahahah Allthough I'd rather see madhater or clayface or killercrock anyday over jocker again.
Sadly Mad Hatter was voted one of the worst Batman villains ever. Then again so was Penguin and he had his own movie.

I personally would love to see croc. After seeing episodes of Batman: TAS where all the villains team up I'd love to see that in a movie.

Now THAT is the best bit of Batman news I have heard ever since I got wind of "The Dark Knight" being in production. No idea why, but hearing that there are Joker cards lying around in comic book stores with a message like that on it...it makes the insane one inside of me grin.

Now I'm as hyped as ever to see this movie! I want my Joker!

they did in the batman movie the very first one they had the one with the 60's one.

lol.. still it is a cool idea.. besides having too many villians lead to like not too much screen time for alot of the actors. take alook at spiderman 3, xmen 3 and etc.
