The Dark Knight Rises - Page 9

Billbeaux · 05-21-2011, 01:20 PM

Another relatively minor nitpick, but am I the only one scratching his head over the "John Blake" character? From what I gather it's a fairly high profile role, which has me wondering why Nolan/Goyer felt the need to create an original character instead of selecting one of the established GCPD officers. Crispus Allen, perhaps?

To a lesser degree, the same goes for TDK. Loeb and Flass--while modified--were lifted from the source material, but all of the cops in the Major Crimes division were original characters. I can only assume that Ramierez was originally meant to be Renee Montoya, and I see no reason why Det. Stephens--Gordon's burly, slightly abrasive right hand man--couldn't have been Harvey Bullock (he isn't even addressed by name in the film, so it's not like the "confusing" issue of having two characters named Harvey would have come up)

Is this going to be the last Batman Movie??? or will they try for a fourth??? Bc we still have seen Robin, which I actaully like, But I am wondering if he will be introduced or if Batwomen will be introduced, bc Gorden does have a daughter.

Nolen and Bale both don't want a Robin. As for Batgirl Gordan's daughter is way too young in this series.

I dont remember seeing her at all in the series so far?? I new they acknowledged him having a daughter, but I thought that she hasn't been seen on screen. I thought he had two son's and a daughter??

Plus how old is bruce in the series?? Like 30 or something?? He is still relatively young as the batman.

He turned 30 in Begins. TDK takes place approximately a year after that. No word on how much time elapses between the second and third film.

Are you serious? The climax of The Dark Knight has Two-Face holding Gordon's whole family hostage.

What, you don't think they'll go this route?

This will be the last Nolan/Bale Batman film they will do a reboot after this.

*Spitfire* · 05-24-2011, 03:36 PM

A reboot would be a really bad idea. If anything they will continue on with a different creative team but still keep him active. No need to redo the origin, no ones forgot it. It's already been filmed twice.

*Andrew NDB* · 05-24-2011, 03:53 PM

There has been zero word about any further Batman rebooting and unless Dark Knight Rises leaves a stink in people's mouths like Spider-Man 3 did or Hulk did, I wouldn't bet that's a thing that's in danger of changing. The series would continue with or without Nolan at the helm, who hasn't ruled out staying aboard as Producer for subsequent films. And if he stays aboard as producer I doubt Bale would bail.

Last I heard Aaronofsky (The Wrestler, Black Swan, Requiem for a Dream) was the heir apparent to Nolan on the series... and how cool would that be?

When was this? Only time I'd heard of Aaronofsky for Batman was when he was gonna do Year One around ten years ago.

A couple of months ago on AICN, I believe. And the funny thing about Aaronofsky is that at one point or another he's been attached to just about every comic book movie ever made... yet not of them ever end up actually going forward with him.

Not cool at all if you go by his plans for Year one.

I was going to back this post up by listing everything wrong with that little idea... but it literally hurts my head and embarasses me to talk about it.

*Slap-Happy* · 05-24-2011, 07:21 PM

On the topic of Year One, I read somewhere that...

Bruce wears a hockey mask as Batman

A Lincoln continental was the bat mobile

Bruce lived and worked at mechanic's shop and wasn't a millionaire

Alfred is replaced by a middle aged black man named Big Al

and when Bruce starts crime fighting, he wears his father's ring, which somehow makes a bat out of the T and W for Thomas Wayne, leading the media to call him Batman.

If this is true... Then what the f*ck?

You're kidding, right?

I mean, I know he skated around in Batman & Robin, but that's a little silly.
