Re: The Dark Knight Rises

There is a rumor that Chris Nolan wanted The Riddler to main the 3rd Batman; to be played by Mr. DiCaprio. If only.

The rumor is that WB execs wanted The Riddler & wanted DiCaprio for the role. Chris Nolan had his own ideas/story (along with David Goyer)

Re: The Dark Knight Rises

To be honest, Leo is probably one of my favorite actors ever, but I don't know if I could see him in that role

Would have been interesting anyway though, I'd love to see what Nolan would do with The Riddler

I hope this is the case. I don't want a repeat of Spider-Man 3.

NPH should be the Riddler.

Link to either "rumor"?

Yeah, seriously. The last thing we want is for Nolan to not have complete, complete control of this project. I only want to see this in his vision.

And my vote still goes to Jon Cryer for The Riddler.

I'm sure if they had gone that route it would have turned out great. After all, no one thought the Heath Ledger casting made much sense at the time, and that turned out alright lol

It's in the latest issue of EMPIRE magazine, the one with Batman/Catwoman on the cover.

• In Fall of 2008, Christopher Nolan and co-writer David Goyer came up with the ending to The Dark Knight Rises. They didn’t know what the plot would be, or which villains would terrorize Gotham, but they knew it would be the final Batman movie in their trilogy, and they knew how they wanted it to end. Goyer explained that the ending in The Dark Knight Rises is exactly what they talked about 4 years ago — it’s completely unchanged. When Goyer saw that final scene from The Dark Knight Rises, he got a lump in his throat.
• More than a third of the film, 1 hour, was shot in IMAX.
• The Dark Knight Rises is Wally Pfister’s last movie as Director of Photography, he’ll be moving on to pursue a directing career.
• As I mentioned earlier this week, Nolan confirmed that The Joker will not be addressed at all in The Dark Knight Rises. He was also nervous about adding Catwoman, but his brother Jonah convinced him that she needed to be part of the trilogy.
• David Goyer said that at the premiere of The Dark Knight, Warner Bros. executives were already talking about a villain for The Dark Knight Rises — “it’s gonna be The Riddler, and we want it to be Leonardo DiCaprio…”.
• Christopher Nolan confirmed that Anne Hathaway’s character, Selina Kyle, is never referred to as “Catwoman” in the script.

Hmm, didn't know there won't be any mention of "Catwoman" by name in the movie. That's interesting. And without reading any spoilers or anything, that bit about David Goyer's reaction to the ending makes it seem pretty obvious to me what it's going to be, or at least include.

Also, something I just realized: we're one month away from this movie coming out.

That's actually very good for me. It was one thing I thought Nolan would actually refrain from doing. They don't walk around Gotham just calling people by these names (except "The Joker," but he has nothing else to go off of). For Batman, they call him "The Bat Man." The only person to call him "Batman" in both movies (aside from Bruce himself, referring to the symbol), so far, is Jimmy Gordon, and it sounded cheesy as hell.

True, but Dent didn't really become Two-Face until the end of the movie, so there weren't many chances to call him by another name.

Still wondering how long this movie will be....

They mentioned his nickname being "Two Faced Harvey Dent" I thought? Due to his political two facing, but obviously a reference of things to come.

More than a third of it is an hour, so probably two and a half.
