Re: The Dark Knight Rises

What would be the problem from him being The Joker, aside from fan outrage?

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:

Watch JGL be Nigma and never even don the suit.

Nolan will tease the fans, laugh about it in public and then walk away from another billion dollar film.

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

That'd be awesome, and definitely sounds like the most likely path.

I'll say it again; Joker should never be recast, ever. Terrible idea. Nolan will do something great with this, and it will definitely not be recasting Joker.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises

so will JGL be Strange? or maybe Black Mask? Either way its cool casting news. I like it.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises

Someone posted that on my wall, actually, and I don't see Nolan and Bale both going back on their word about how neither of them wanted to do a Batman movie that included Robin.

Here's Bale's quote from after TDK came out: "“If Robin crops up in one of the new Batman films, I’ll be chaining myself up somewhere and refusing to go to work.”"

Now, that could also be a fake quote because the origin of it was questionable, but never once did someone come out and say otherwise.

I know, I just wanted to be the one to say it.

And he wouldn't necessarily have to play "Robin". He could just be Dick Grayson.

I thought of that, as well, and I'd prefer the Nigma storyline if they're going to go the route of "Well, technically [Robin/Riddler] weren't in it."




Something I found interesting while looking around. Bale says he'd do a fourth movie if Nolan told him he had a good enough story.

"All I know is the likelihood that this will be the last one," Bale told Empire Magazine. "Well, I wouldn't say definitely. If Chris goes, 'Hey, I've got another story I think could be interesting,' then yeah, great, I'd go do that. I always assumed it would be three, but I could be wrong. I don't know if there's something wrong with me, but I don't feel any pressure."

As for the upcoming movie, 'The Dark Knight Rises'? He may be starring, but he's not giving anything away.

"If I told you, a bullet would come flying through the window and take me out. Plus I kind of like this mystery that Chris has about all the movies - I'm quite happy to play ball with that. But you'd be surprised at how little I know."

I'd love to see another one.

I think what will happen is they'll leave some "easter eggs" (like JGL being Grayson or Nigma, but not Robin/Riddler) for us Batman nerds so that if they ever wanted to come back and continue things, they'd have some pre-existing characters to build off of, while at the same time things would be wrapped up nicely with the trilogy.

EDIT: Speaking of the easter eggs stuff, that made me think about TDK. I still think it's BS when Nolan says Riddler isn't in the movie. That Mr. Reese (mysteries) thing always stuck out to me in TDK.

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

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.

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.

Right. I forget the stuff that he told me, it was before The Dark Knight came out though so it was very long ago.
