Personally, I don't think Catwoman, Riddler or Penguin were done justice, either.

Catwoman was a secretary who got pushed off a building, was licked by a bunch of cats and awoke with magical cat powers. Yeah...

Riddler was basically the Joker with question marks, a far cry from the intelligent and sophisticated villain seen in Batman TAS and the Modern comics.

Penguin was a deformed baby raised in the sewers by a flock of actual penguins. Gimme a break...


Honestly, outside of the first Burton flick, none of the Batman villains from that series were handled particularly well at all. I'd like to see the Begins franchise reboot each and every one of them, because lord knows they need it.

I did kinda like Batman 2, myself. I just like that Catwomen went apescat and tore up her house.

Plus I did love the Penguin because, well... Danny DeVito is my GOD. I watch Taxi all the time.

I do admit, I really do want to see all these characters reimagined in the Batman Begins world, as long as Catwoman doesn't look like:



or



But I mean, a film about MadHatter would be amazing.

The Dark Knight - Joker

Looked through about 6 pages and could'nt find the Dark Knight thread. I dont think It'll hurt to start a new one...and I was actually thinking, maybe this one could be for pure speculation on the Joker. Has anyone seen the new pic? is it just me, or does the Joker look different in every pic we've seen him in so far. I'm starting to wonder how much his wardrobe will change in the movie.

This is the first time I've seen this thread. I've skimmed thru it a bit. I'm disappointed that the white is only on the face and that the red is painted on. I kinda like Jack Nicholson's make up and what not in the first movie.

The Begins continuity is going for realism and believability, so a guy falling into a vat of acid and coming out looking like a clown wouldn't fit too well in this context.

Does anyone have confirmation of whether or not this film will show flashbacks of the Jokers life began...ala The Killing Dream? That'd be incredibly perfect.

Ok this is a double post, but I think it's suitable enough. Wondering if anyone saw the epilogue during the IMAX showings of I Am Legend? I hear good things (:

I Am Legend starts next week.

I'm not sure what you mean by epilogue, but perhaps you're trying to hint at the 6 minutes of The Dark Knight that will be shown before I Am Legend (in IMAX).

Of the Joker? As far as I know, he's just an insane killer with a taste for theatrics. His face is just covered in makeup, and he's got himself a Chelsea grin.

There's obviously something that's pushed him over the edge. And he somehow received a scar across his mouth that he emphasises with the make-up. Kind of going for the opposite to Jack Nicholson's smartly-dressed incarnation.

This is all coming from Empire magazine, who spoke to the main stars, the director and the costume designer.

Possible sort of spoiler:
Spoiler:
Apparently, Michael Caine was so impressed with Ledger's performance that he forgot his lines during a scene.
