Re: The Dark Knight Rises

The only way they make Robin work is....if it's not young Robin, and it's just Dick Grayson and, if he needs a costume, they go Nightwing instead of the bring red and yellow Robin one.

Nightwing angle would be pretty interesting.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises

I agree that a Nightwing angle would be cool but wouldnt that seem out of order without Robin?

Yep, there would need to be some sort of build up... don't know how that would work.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises

Yeah, it'd have to be a new take on Nightwing, kind of like it seems Nolan has in store for Bane and Catwoman, but it would work a lot better than a under-developed young male running around in a bright red/yellow suit.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises

I'm hoping for a Knightfall-esque plot with JGL as Azrael.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises

Especially after seeing the "It'll do just fine against cats" line come full circle with Catwoman in this movie.

Yea, that line was definitely a nod at Batman fans. It was obvious where they were going with that without having to confirm it would mean Catwoman is in the third film.

As for Mr. Reese. I wondered about it too, but the name is different and I can't see Nolan messing with that. Nigma makes sense.

I can see Bruce Wayne holding a card addressed to a E. Nigma. Him saying "E. Nigma?" And then Edward stepping forward with, "Edward Nigma. How can I help you...Mr. Wayne, correct?"

Followed by 80% of the males in the audience passing out and waking up again only to see Hathaway in her Catwoman get-up and needing to then excuse themselves from the theater for a quick bathroom break.

That would be the greatest movie of all time. Too bad thats 3 movies in itself.

That would be as close to "marking out" (to use a wrestling term) in a movie theater as I could get.


And as for the Knightfall story - that's the thing, there are four or five Batman graphic novel stories that could make amazing movies: Hush, Knightfall, The Long Halloween, Year One.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises

That's just about it.

Although, if there's one person I'd trust as a recast Joker, it'd be JGL only because the two of them were friendly and I think he'd treat it as an honor.

That said, I'd rather have him as another character.

And here's a picture from BoF of Hardy that makes me even more excited that he's going to be apart of a Batman movie:

Just bought this shirt. Had to have it.

That's gonna be the teaser.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises

The Dark Knight Rises cinematographer Wally Pfister says Anne Hathaway “looks phenomenal in the wardrobe” when they shot her Catwoman screen test.

I had no doubts that she wouldn't look good in it. Unfortunately, DKR isn't a silent film and I hope she can carry her weight. Catwoman=sexy/edgy/bad%$#. I think she can pull off the 1st one. Don't know about the other two.

I've still never gotten the chance to read Year One.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises

My friend once gave me a ten minute long spiel on how a Robin would be fantastic in a Batman sequel. It's not at all your conventional Robin that you know of. Hell, he might not even be called Robin at any point. But there are ways to make Robin work. If I can get him talking again, I'll post his idea on here.

Batman is always best when he works solo imo.

Batman is always best when he works solo imo.

One of the things my friend mentioned was he wouldn't be a sidekick.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises

This. And I'm sure it would go the route of recent developments comic wise and go with Nigma as a P.I.

Let that happen!

The only way they make Robin work is....if it's not young Robin, and it's just Dick Grayson and, if he needs a costume, they go Nightwing instead of the bring red and yellow Robin one.

I think that could work but I'd use the Red Robin outfit that the BNG posted earlier in the thread. It's a real great costume though maybe in the movie world the red would be closer to a maroon.

I've still never gotten the chance to read Year One.

You owe it to yourself to read it. One of the best Batman stories ever IMO. In fact a couple years ago the Comics Should Be Good blog did a reader survey of the 100 best storylines in comic book history and this was the top Batman storyline chosen by the people and was overall #4 on the list.
