Re: The BATMAN Thread
ANYTHING that Nolan or anyone else pulls from the Animated Series for the new franchise is a smart move.
The Animated Series was by far the most consistent, and solid Batman franchise. This new film franchise is starting to get up there.
I also think it's a fresh idea to bring in a totally different villian not seen in the films before. As long as it's not something like King Tut or The Clock King, lol.
But personal NO-ABSOLUTELY-NOT requests...
No Catwoman
--- I don't think Bale's Batman would work with a Catwoman. After events in TDK I think Bruce Wayne will become even more of a dark, reclusive, loner. Playboy will seem just stupid from this point forward. I don't see him even having a slight sexual attraction to a Catwoman type.
Poison Ivy - maybe
--- The good part about a Poison Ivy character is that Batman wouldn't have to worry about any kind of sexual tension. She's a villian he purely hates. That only problem with the Poison Ivy character is she's one of their more beyond belief characters. My thoughts have been to update the character. What about a global warming nut? Still plant loving, but global warming, enviroment nut Poison Ivy character? Who's willing to kill and commit crimes to get her point across.
No Robin for god fucking sake
--- This is not meant to offend anyone... but Robin fags the whole show up.

Speaking of Robin, Christian Bale said that if WB or anyone in the production tries to bring Robin into the equation, "I'm fucking walking." He hates the character as much as we do. LOL.

I read that as well.
On the subject of Box Office, I'll be interested to hear what the final numbers for the weekend were sometime this morning.
One timie, Chris Nolan (jokingly) said before that if he does bring Robin into his Batman series, he'll cast Frankie Muniz

Re: The BATMAN Thread
I hate Burton's movies. Relentlessly boring. I watched the 89 Batman last night and god does it suck. Returns is unwatchable. Of those 4 films, Forever is the best.
But anyways, I think Riddler would be fantastic in Nolan's world - he could do some real plot twisting and tell the story in a different way, perhaps, so that he wouldn't need to 'top' TDK, it's just be really different. His work on Memento and Prestige show he can make a brilliant mindfuck of a movie, and The Riddler gives him a great shot at it.
If I could pick a one-two punch, assuming Harvey is dead, I'd go with Riddler and Deadshot.
No Robin please, no Penguin and no Catwoman.
Re: The BATMAN Thread
Yep. I think it was like $155.3mil to be exact.
Biggest opening ever for any film in history. Surpassing "Spider Man 3" which grossed $151 mil last year.
Which is shocking in a way that TDK only got $4mil more. SM3 was okay, but compared to TDK... TDK makes SM3 look like a big steaming pile of monkey dung.

Re: The BATMAN Thread
Opening weekend gross has practically nothing to do with how good a movie is, so I don't get the shock that Spidey 3 was so high. This is purely hype money, good reviews help a little, but much more on following week gross. Can TDK keep from dropping more than 50% between weekends? That'll be a huge help if they can pull in another 70-80 mil.
