[Compi716]

Wow, that set report sounds unbelievable. I really wish I could be there.

[GoogleMe94]

no wonder they treated you like #2

:dry:

grow up.

[sasquatchs]

Based on all these set reports, it sounds like The Joker wears alot of purple in TDK.

Didn't Miranda say he wears hardly any purple? Anyway, not really bothered about his clothes

[KOLLUS]

I don't really care about his clothing either, and yea I think it was Miranda.

[batman11]

yeah but it could still be funny. imagine a big grin on his face, lookin all happy and WHAMMING ppl with a big slap! that would be twisted and funny as hell. kinda like penguin when that clown says "great speech oswald" and then SMACK!:woot:

Oh for sure. I picture it being really funny yet scary at the same time. We see this clown taking pleasure in hurting these innocent people. Awesome. If it was Heath who improvised with it then I applaud him cause its sounds freaking sick. If it was Nolan who thought of it...genius as usual. :woot:

[Stringer]

Like someone said before, he may come in with a kind of Clockwork Orange entrance, skipping around while slapping people hard.

[ihavecomputer]

is this most recent report coming from the penthouse or is this the navy pier political fund-raiser set? is the joker going to be crashing BOTH dent's fund-raiser AND bruce's party?

[batman11]

Also, no one seems to be talking about the Rachel abduction. What do you think the Joker's gonna do with her? Hold her ransom only to leave her to be found dead? I like where this movie's going! :D Dammnit why can't it come out July 07!!!!!!!

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

I think I'm right in saying the Dent fund-raiser thing will just be shown on a TV in the background, filmed somewhere else the same day, probably Navy Pier. Don't think we'll get anywhere near that one :csad:

[Octoberist]

news galore!

right -- well there's the dent commercial, the dent fundraiser, and bruce's penthouse party.

the joblo report indicates that the joker crashes the fundraiser, and the "New Joker Details" thread starter indicated that the joker crashes bruce's penthouse party. i'm just trying to determine if the fundraiser and penhouse party are one and the same.

[Rezzo]

[kingdomhearts]

Loving all the intel. but I hate myself for reading and knowing too much now because I might ruin the movie because Im expecting a lot.
I have nothing to blame but myself.

[dark_b]

is it just me or is just to much good news ?

^ Ah I see, sounds more like the extra filmed scenes for both in different locations, Joker only at the penthouse fundraiser, and a separate political ad scene.

[KOLLUS]

WRONG!!!

LOL!!!!
http://wrongwrong.ytmnd.com/

[regwec]

* The Joker is one sadistic bastard -- flat-out evil. There will be NOTHING to like about him. If you were expecting The Joker the be "funny," you were way, way off.

Oh dear. Those of us who thought The Joker would be like The Joker must feel very naive.

[wikum]

The Joker's so ****ing badass.

I just felt like saying that.

Yes I know. I don't know what people are so worried about. He's going to own.

[Keyser Soze]

Oh dear. Those of us who thought The Joker would be like The Joker must feel very naive.

Erm....how so? Saying that The Joker is flat-out evil, with no redeeming or likeable qualities, sounds pretty much like the character to me.

Did you miss the in-depth set report which talked about The Joker using his trademark laugh?

[regwec]

I didn't miss it, but I am suspicious of it. It seems to disagree with everything else.

And I don't want to enter into the argument over The Joker's personality again (for this evening, anyway), but I will say that his monicker is intended to be descriptive.

[DSET]

Original caps of the original file. I seriously am thingking THUG

http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t46/riskproductions/TDK/cap1.jpg


http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t46/riskproductions/TDK/cap2.jpg

So after reading the news on Joblo
Im guessing that was one of Jokers masked minions without thw masks

[sasquatchs]

Sounds pretty real, can't see any discrepancies. We know Ledger was there, that he's been practising his laugh, he has clown goons, it was a party held for Dent, Batman breaks in, Bruce arrives with models. The helicopter bit is new, but it was supposed to be the top floor. Pretty detailed stuff

[NoName86]

He is one with just white make up on, no mask.

[AndrewGilkison]

This Joker will be much "darker" then Jack Nicholson was in 1989, it seems. That doesn't mean he won't be The Joker. That doesn't mean he won't have a sense of humor. It just means his sense of humor will be really sick, and he will do more sadistic and evil things then say... Joker in Batman 89 did.

[Bond]

How the guy said that the Joker was wearing a "long purple jacket" makes me question if this report is real.

[wikum]

Didn't Miranda say he wears hardly any purple? Anyway, not really bothered about his clothes

At the same time, why is Miranda definitely right?...This is what really gets me about this place. I know she was a credible poster on here, but doesn't mean her sources were 100% accurate.

We will get news that sounds fake that turns out to be legit and vice versa. Thats all part of the fun.

EDIT- saquatchs - this isn't a dig at you, it's a dig at the "well miranda said this, and miranda said that" people.

[regwec]

Miranda must be right because she hates us and that gives us some hugely over-compensated sense of collective guilt.

[Naite22]

batman is fighting the joker?
how?
I'm having questions inside my head about this matter as well!.... They're FIGHTING!... I know that Nolan wants a logical explanation for everything in these films (which I'm loving!!!). So how will he explain Batman having trouble kicking the **** out of the Joker at ANY LEVEL WHAT SO EVER!???

We all saw how batman "killed" off 9-10 guys all at ones with EASE in the first film, and within no time at all (when he first appears as batman at the dock!). So why should the Joker be a problem??? Unless of course we'll learn that the Joker is also HEAVY in to martial arts!!!... but would that work???????????????????????????????????

[sasquatchs]

That's fine, I was just contrasting 2 different sets of information we have. They could both be wrong

[dark_b]

Why do people refer to this movie as Batman: The Dark Knight?! It's just THE DARK KNIGHT! There ain't no Batman: Batman thing going on here!come on. you knwo very good that a lot of people dont knwo who the dark knight is. they need to say batman so that general people know what they are talking about.

[AndrewGilkison]

To those who are complaining about Joker's interpetation in TDK, did any of you really think Joker was going to be a goof ball Jim Carry type of villian in this movie? Come on guys. Get real.

[regwec]

You seem to have a problem distinguishing desire and expectation.

[NoName86]

So is anyone heading out this evening to any of the sets? They said this week is going to be alive all across chicago with filming.

[Excel]

Whats Going On?

[sasquatchs]

We've got another couple of days to wait before filming at the garage. Still worth a visit though

[AndrewGilkison]

You seem to have a problem distinguishing desire and expectation.

So then why are you holding onto this version of Joker that we clearly were not going to get from the beginning?

Ever since the ending of Batman Begins, it was almost a given that Nolan's version of Joker was going to be played more scarier and less goofy.

And truthly, I don't see anything wrong with this take.

[ihavecomputer]

another interesting thing is that the joblo report re-introduces the idea of joker "goons" being present. for a while there i was under the impression that it would be him & him alone.

[Retroman]

More details about the Penthouse/party scene from Joblo:- (http://joblo.com/excl-dk-spy-report)



Apparently, a second report is coming later on...
Evil son of a gun that Joker.:woot: :up:
hey guys. a tumbler just pulled into the parking garage.

http://www.ihavecomputer.com/i/TDK_batmobile.jpg
Awesome, got a bigger version?:yay:

[sasquatchs]

another interesting thing is that the joblo report re-introduces the idea of joker "goons" being present. for a while there i was under the impression that it would be him & him alone.

Were you not here when the bank robbery was being filmed? He uses similar goons then. I really expected him to be a one-man band for a while, probably not practical though

[ihavecomputer]

Evil son of a gun that Joker.:woot: :up:

Awesome, got a bigger version?:yay:

Nah -- I'm kicking myself. I didn't bring my good camera today, that was taken by cell phone. It'd be great to have a higher-res pic to spot any changes to the design (to potentially accommodate the bPod).

[ihavecomputer]

Were you not here when the bank robbery was being filmed? He uses similar goons then. I really expected him to be a one-man band for a while, probably not practical though

Yeah that's right. I figured that the bank robbery would happen at the start of the film and then his gang would disband afterwards -- not sure why I thought that.

One minor thought, continuity-wise: if the end dialog from BB is in reference to the bank robbery, why would Gordon be referencing only the Joker and not also his group of assistants? The robbery certainly seems like (and is) an organized multi-person undertaking.

[sasquatchs]

Good point, hmm. I'm not really sure how the goons fit it, someone mentioned they have no idea where their leader is for the first half of the film. But then its also pretty clear they don't know he's Joker until half-way through the robbery. *Head explodes*

[Retroman]

Nah -- I'm kicking myself. I didn't bring my good camera today, that was taken by cell phone. It'd be great to have a higher-res pic to spot any changes to the design (to potentially accommodate the bPod).
Shame but we'll probably get better ones within in the next few days since it's out there in the open.:hyper:

[Octoberist]

batman-on-film took down their report from The Goon..why?

[FCEEVIPER]

hey guys. a tumbler just pulled into the parking garage.

http://www.ihavecomputer.com/i/TDK_batmobile.jpg
It looks like it's going to blow up. :woot:

[Bond]

batman-on-film took down their report from The Goon..why?
You're right... that's odd. :huh:.

[ihavecomputer]

hopefully because it's wrong. i was having a hard time fitting the entire account into the context of what we already know.

[Batman>all]

so why is everyone upset about the BatPod coming out of the tumbler?

I think it is a great idea and really anxious to see how they pull it off in film.

[Keyser Soze]

I didn't miss it, but I am suspicious of it. It seems to disagree with everything else.

And I don't want to enter into the argument over The Joker's personality again (for this evening, anyway), but I will say that his monicker is intended to be descriptive.

Not really. The Joker hasn't really been one to literally tell jokes all the time, and the ones he does tell aren't funny. It's not like, say, The Riddler, who DOES tell riddles.

I just don't get where you are coming from, or why you are disappointed with the news. Do you somehow think that The Joker should NOT be "flat-out evil", or "a sadistic bastard"?

[Bond]

Maybe WB made him take it down?

[Batman>all]

Maybe WB made him take it down?

He took it down because it is too spoilerish

The forums on that website are spoiler free now

[Octoberist]

i don't know.

I mean, the Goon has supplied Jett with scoops before, (with set pix too) so I have no idea. Maybe he's kinda chicken and doesn't want stir any trouble with Wb.

[Retroman]

He took it down because it is too spoilerish

The forums on that website are spoiler free now
That makes no sense. They've been posting spoiler reports on the mainpage for a while now yet people aren't allowed to discuss it? WTF?

[Anjow1060]

They took it down because of the spoiler controversy thats like dividing the board over there. Think about the WWF when they had their draft for RAW and SMACKDOWN. Jett keeps going back and forth about how to deal with spoilers and set reports and semi spoilers and speculation..etc etc. Myself and others got upset when he took all spoilers off of the forum (which lead to me creating my own spoiler forum -- see below - feel free to join). When he posted the report, he had said anything he posts on BOF news page is allowed in the forums. So i took it to the forums as did a few other posters. I guess Jett changed his mind and didn't want it discussed on his forum, so he pulled the report. I'm trying to find out who THE GOON is to get him to report to my boards and keep us in the know. I'll keep you all posted on any advances we make on the stuff.

[Octoberist]

He took it down because it is too spoilerish

The forums on that website of spoiler free

But the site's a walking contridiction. With every scoop, at a certain level, can contain a 'spoiler'. I love Jett and his site, but it's a gossip/homage Batman site. Go with the flow.

So he's not going to post Goon's later reports then?

[Boom]

Probably for spoiler reasons.

So pretty much, Jett keeps on changing his mind? So he's not going to post any more 'scoops' from Goon?

[sasquatchs]

so why is everyone upset about the BatPod coming out of the tumbler?

I think it is a great idea and really anxious to see how they pull it off in film.

I think its more that it doesn't make alot of sense, cool idea though. The arm connecting the frame to the wheel seems different, seems pretty impossible that this thing could shoot out from the middle of the Tumbler

I'm trying to find out who THE GOON is to get him to report to my boards and keep us in the know

What's wrong with this board? :oldrazz:

[quote=sasquatchs;11910003]I think its more that it doesn't make alot of sense, cool idea though. The arm connecting the frame to the wheel seems different, seems pretty impossible that this thing could shoot out from the middle of the Tumbler

I was looking closely at the design from the morning show and if you look at the front of the bike it seems that the way the frame is designed, the tumbler would shoot out from one of the sides?

I wish I could explain it better but I don't know how to put it into words.

[Wedge A.]

He's torn between wanting to be a good reporter, and remaining loyal to WB.

But..come on. If you didn't have minor spoilers, what would you have then? Really..

[Batman>all]

Can we drop the Jett/BOF talk?

I don't think it is fair to crack jokes on the internet behind his back.

[Juanigi]

I thought jett's no-spoiler policy finally paid off in the form of the high-res photo, but WB released it to all the sites regardless of their "ethics", and now all he has is a version with a huge garish watermark.

[Octoberist]

i'm personally not cracking jokes on Jett, and I actually like his site. But it's just a weird move on his part.

[sasquatchs]

I wish I could explain it better but I don't know how to put it into words.

You explained it fine, its just the connecting arm on the Tumler looks far larger than on the bike, I could be wrong. But it could even be a modified Tumbler they're using. I just don't see Nolan going that elaborate without telling us, feels like cheating

[Batman>all]

well Jetts policy on his website is that

"BOF's SPOILER policy: BOF DOES NOT post information that would ruin the enjoyment of the film, but DOES get people excited and interested in the BATMAN film series. However, BOF does post information that some may deem a "spoiler." Therefore, read at your own risk."

The Goon supplied him information of important scenes in TDK which could ruin the enjoyment of some who rather not know.

[Batman>all]

You explained it fine, its just the connecting arm on the Tumler looks far larger than on the bike, I could be wrong. But it could even be a modified Tumbler they're using. I just don't see Nolan going that elaborate without telling us, feels like cheating

I guess it is something we won't know until the movie comes out.

Right now the most plausible explanation would be a modified tumbler if it were to shoot out.

[NoName86]

Where is everyone getting this idea of it coming out of the tumbler? I haven't read anything that says it is, nor do I see any clue or hint of it?

[donk70]

Where is everyone getting this idea of it coming out of the tumbler? I haven't read anything that says it is, nor do I see any clue or hint of it?
Jett confirmed it earlier on BOF earlier today

[Batman>all]

Where is everyone getting this idea of it coming out of the tumbler? I haven't read anything that says it is, nor do I see any clue or hint of it?

BOF got news from "The Goon" about certain plot points, one of them being about the Batpod and Tumbler.

BOF took down the claims recently based on the fact the news was too spoilerish for their website.

[ihavecomputer]

re: the bPod coming out of the tumbler --

in the video put out this morning, roker says "he doesn't CHOOSE it, he REQUIRES it." this would make sense in the context of it being an escape pod -- as in he requires the use of it in order to survive.

[donk70]

BOF got news from "The Goon" about certain plot points, one of them being about the Batpod and Tumbler.

Meaning the WB goons called Jett and told him he wasn't their preferred customer anymore?

[sasquatchs]

No, they're just struggling to get to a consistent policy

[JL Unlimited]

The Tumbler is supposed to a military vehicle and it seats two people, right? Why would there be only one escape pod? Both sides probably shoot out for both passengers if needed.

[itsthebatman]

No, they're just struggling to get to a consistent policy
Don't they have a spoiler thread within the forums? Where everyone discusses what they saw and heard here?
Just seems... odd.
To be honest, it's not that so much as the mutual backslapping they do that annoys me. 'Well done, jett! You have such integrity!'. Yada, yada, yada.

[itsthebatman]

The Tumbler is supposed to a military vehicle and it seats two people, right? Why would there be only one escape pod? Both sides probably shoot out for both passengers if needed.
Because Batman hates Robin.

well it might have been something along those lines because it was replaced with a hi res pic of the batsuit. he obviously got it from wb.

[Juanigi]

so you can say "and remember, we had it first but sat on it out of journalistic integrity"

[wikum]

whats the point of getting spoilery scoops if you're not going to post them?

because jett likes to be in control. he likes to do stuff like "i just heard a great scoop, i'll post it later" when all he has to do is copy and paste.

[The Only Woj]

because jett likes to be in control. he likes to do stuff like "i just heard a great scoop, i'll post it later" when all he has to do is copy and paste.

I love Jett and all for keeping the Batman dream alive those years between B&R and BB ... but we need a competitive website run by a guy who'll post the things that Jett would normally say "I heard something great, but I can't tell you" to.

What's the point of having all these great sources when you only post what you want to post? Maybe some are too big of a spoiler ... but that's what spoiler tags and text the same color as the background are for.

[General Vulcun]

I think what Jett's thinking right now is: respect WB, and get the better scoops later (the exclusive ones provided by WB). I think his new stance on spoilers is a bit of both keeping a good relationship with WB, and pleasing fans/BOF'ers who want to come into TDK surprised.

[Crook]

It's a set report. :huh:

It's not like his source is on some confidentiality agreement, he was paid to be at the scene, and the info was simply passed on. I could understand if these spoilers were script excerpts or something and were meant to be hidden, but this?..

[sasquatchs]

There's several other Batman news sites that post everything they're given, if Jett doesn't post a scoop it'll just be sent elsewhere. The only problem for BOF is that they'll become a less visited niche, but if they're happy with that who cares. Alot of people want a spoiler free forum and their front page posting big stuff confused that

[wikum]

yea i'm not being downright horrible towards jett, he does a great job. i'm just pointing out a home truth.

[Bond]

This is from BOF:

After second guessing my judgement, I decided to take down the earlier report sent to BOF by "The Goon." Even though it was found on a separate page and I did issue a strong warning, I felt it was simply too spoilerish and that I had violated my own spoiler policy. My apologies to everyone...

[iambrucewayne]

Maybe because the scoop is wrong? From the interview with Nathan Crowley below, it's said that Batman needs Batpod for a specific reason, he requires to do something he can't do. Nathan Crowley built it after reading the script. So I think the bike must be separated from the Tumbler.

http://allday.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/06/18/228490.aspx

[willis]

Actually Drexx, everyone that works on the film (extras/stand-ins included) must sign a confidentiality agreement before being allowed on set.

[wikum]

Q: What's the difference between this and the Batmobile?
CROWLEY: All I can tell you is that Batman needs a second vehicle for a very specific reason. He doesn't choose it... he requires it to do something he can't do. That's all I'll say!

Interesting. Maybe for driving down a narrow tunnel/alley type thing?

The seat is rotational? That is beyond cool. Can you post it to the Batcycle thread? Then this one doesn't get derailed

[Bond]

Q: What exactly is the "Batpod?"
CROWLEY: It's Batman's new vehicle from "The Dark Knight." It comes from the same family as the Batmobile that he got from Morgan Freeman's character, Lucius Fox. The Batpod is as fast as the Batmobile, it's self-standing, it has front weaponry, and it can lower itself to protect its rider. It can fit through small spaces, and the seat is rotational, so even if it falls over, the rider can't be thrown off.

Q: What's the difference between this and the Batmobile?
CROWLEY: All I can tell you is that Batman needs a second vehicle for a very specific reason. He doesn't choose it... he requires it to do something he can't do. That's all I'll say!

Q: What was the inspiration and how long did it take to create the Batpod?
CROWLEY: We went through the script and realized we needed a new vehicle. The design came out of the script, and then I just had to invent something that would be worthy of Batman himself. I wanted it to relate to the Batmobile. Also, fans should expect a lot of other cool "Bat Toys" in the new movie. It's going to be sensational!

Wow! TDK is gonna kick major ass!!!!!!!!! Thanks for the link, iambrucewayne.

[Crook]

Actually Drexx, everyone that works on the film (extras/stand-ins included) must sign a confidentiality agreement before being allowed on set.
Ah, well if that was the case here, then I stand corrected.

But let's face it though, set reports are a common thing nowadays, it happens with every movie. If taking these reports down does lead to a bigger scoop in the future, then more power to them.

[Mysterio]

No, they're just struggling to get to a consistent policythat's an understatement. let's just say that the policy is shelved when hit traffic can go up. just about everything on there can be regarded as a spoiler.

[Mysterio]

whats the point of getting spoilery scoops if you're not going to post them?so that he can claim he's always right. who's going to know the difference? "pay no attention to the man behind the curtain."

[Phaser]

OK what is this 'Goon's report' everyone is talking about? Can someone post it please?

[Bat Brain]

OK what is this 'Goon's report' everyone is talking about? Can someone post it please?

.......
* Dent and Rachel are indeed“…sittin’ in a tree, k-i-s-s-i-n-g.”

* The Scarecrow is in TDK.

* “The Bat-cycle or pod will emerge from The Tumbler in a explosion. Everyone will think Batman is killed, but you'll see Batman go in the area of the Tumbler where he fires the missiles and that's where the Pod will shoot out from.” (Remember, BOF was informed and reported this a while back. It was said to be bogus info from another source of ours, but it IS TRUE!)

* The Joker is one sadistic bastard -- flat-out evil. There will be NOTHING to like about him. If you were expecting The Joker the be "funny," you were way, way off.

i have a feeling that WB and Nolan wants Scarecrow to be a secret...

...I haven't seen Ocean's 13, but wasn't vincent cassell's character was kinda of a secret (despite being in part 12). I guess, to that extent, Scarecrow is like that too.

[sasquatchs]

If true its a move worthy of Transformers, I can't see much similarity between the Tumbler cockpit and the bike

Not many at all. I saw three sitting on a trailer not doing much except smoking.

[ihavecomputer]

nice pics, mak.

i'm now thinking that that purple pickup is going to be used for a stunt of some kind. it's pretty distinct looking (weathered) and the back tires are smaller which would allow it to accelerate faster. it's been up there for about a week now.

the other older purple pickup is nowhere to be found...

notice how there are street lights strewn about as well. i think that once they're finished with the GPD rooftop shooting they're going to set up those lamp posts to dress the surrounding set differently.

[Octoberist]

What purple pickup?

Wasn't that fake?

And no,I don't believe that one guy who posed got casted as one of Joker's goons, who was posting here a couple of days ago. It's too risky to even reveal anything if it's that mid-high of a role esp for a SAG member.

[Phaser]

.......

I knew the whole design of the bike was more along the lines of an ejection mechanism than a stand-alone vehicle. Exactly why it looks so 'bare'. :up:

[sasquatchs]

What purple pickup?

Wasn't that fake?



The picture was. ihavecomputer posted about seeing a hastily painted purple truck being moved into the garage, then someone came up with the manip and the mayhem began

[Steyin]

* “The Bat-cycle or pod will emerge from The Tumbler in a explosion. Everyone will think Batman is killed, but you'll see Batman go in the area of the Tumbler where he fires the missiles and that's where the Pod will shoot out from.” (Remember, BOF was informed and reported this a while back. It was said to be bogus info from another source of ours, but it IS TRUE!)

This was exactly how I said it would/should emerge a month ago, damn I'm good.:hyper:

[IamtheBatman]

So, will the pod emerge from where he goes into capsule he did in BB.

[typeorocks]

nice pics mak!

[IamtheBatman]

Someone, needs to be at the site of GPD rooftop on BOF shows it being completed. So, they might be filming there tonight. Hopefully, someone will get pics.

[General Vulcun]

Going to be now, but I just want to remind everyone in Chicago to get down to the sets with cameras and video recorders so we can get a load of the action tomorrow (or later tonight, for some of you night hawks).

[Batman>all]

What are the new toys Batman will be getting?

There is the bat cycle and suit, but the weather guy said he had more toys coming.

[Bond]

I can't even think of possibly any more new gadgets that he doesn't already have.

[Harley Quinn]

as for the guy posting spoilers in here about is "summer job"
i have a few friends in the business. i know that 9 out of 10 times, usually goons casted in movies are professional stunt men. as soon as that poster said he could either be the actual "actor" or a "stand in", made me believe that he was fake.

[riskproductions]

Isnt the set still missing a railing? Reference a screen cap from Begins:
http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t46/riskproductions/TDK/bbcap.jpg

[Stringer]

Maybe that angle will never be shown

[sasquatchs]

They could show Gordon heaving the signal over to a different part of the roof :woot:

[riskproductions]

I doubt it. Notice they've taken the time to dress the whole roof. Im sure they'll go for continuity? But maybe not. If theyre going to have it they would have built it by now.

[ihavecomputer]

What purple pickup?

Wasn't that fake?

ah, i could have been a little clearer in my post. indeed, as sasquatchs said i saw an old purple pickup pull into the garage, however later someone asked if a certain modern pickup in a rooftop spy pic was the one i referred to.

that newer pickup is the one i referred to on this page. you can see it parked right next to the rooftop ramp in mak's picture set. it's the pickup just right-of-center in this pic:

http://good-times.webshots.com/photo/2185868180101556974nJtQzB?vhost=good-times

[typeorocks]

Maybe that angle will never be shown


what people don't know is that where that roof set is and the new roof set are 2 differnt locations.

The buildings between Garage A and B are where they filmed BB
http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t46/riskproductions/TDK/garagemap.jpg

Here is a picture I took from Garage B looking at the set of BB (you can see garage A in the backround)
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/typeorocks/film91.jpg


Why they decided not to use the same set as last time is a mystery to me.

[ihavecomputer]

as soon as that poster said he could either be the actual "actor" or a "stand in", made me believe that he was fake.

i'm with 'ya here. he was on the boards in april and never mentioned being part of the pre-production bank shooting. then just the other day in an attempt to validate his posting he says that he was in the spy pics from april, having been a part of the bank shoot as a joker henchman. ya right.

[riskproductions]

Interesting typeorocks, I wasnt aware of that. They probablly had trouble securing the location or something. Considering on the new parking garage they are filming possibly two scenes for TDK, and the one for BB, the owners must be really nice or something lol

[ihavecomputer]

i'm wary of people sending in big spoilers on the heals of big news. they always seem to state the obvious, and yet leave any unknown details out of it. take the "escape pod" tip for example -- if it's an escape pod OF COURSE it's going to come out of the tumbler as it explodes, when else would be a good time for that to happen? dent and rachel together? well it's convenient that we've just about compiled enough circumstantial evidence to support that claim.

GOON's spoiler blowouts have brought absolutely nothing new to the table. the tips just "confirmed" things that have been discussed here for the last month. very suspicious.

[The Mighty Wind]

Wow! TDK is gonna kick major ass!!!!!!!!! Thanks for the link, iambrucewayne.
Indeed, and if that all doesn't put a kabosh on this "escape pod" bull, I don't know what will.

i did mention something. but i was under a different s/n but it was banned and after takling it over wit one of the mods they let me make a new sn but i had to watch my mouth.
so thats y.

Just wondering...

Will the movie be finished filming by December? Then what kind of process do they go through in terms of editing and what not?

...aww man, I was hoping for the old 30s/50s purple pick up truck.

[Boom]

I'm really hoping we get a decent picture of The Joker soon (official or not). All of this talk about brown hair with green highlights has me extremely worried.

[Gothamextra]

"ask Threshold. he got a good look at him. also ask that Gothamextra dude if he still bothers to lurk around."

I'm here. I don't 'lurk,' I have a life, and it involves a a long weekend hanging out with Bruce Wayne and some supermodels. You all can catch this handsome face on the IMAX in July 2008, since they used IMAX to film our scenes. I got some up close and personal time with one of the supermodels (you know, a real woman who you don't communicate with over myspace or IMs). I grabbed onto her when the Joker attacked. The producers liked it but then they had another guy do the same thing to the supermodel in later takes, but hopefully they will use mine.

Later on I help save the partygoers by ushering them away from the fight. One of them is the hot supermodel. Look for a handsome dirty blonde dude up on the screen in thirteen months grabbing up one the hot blonde supermodel - you can't miss me (or us!) I've been told I fashion a young Flash Gordon, but since this is the Batman Universe I'll settle for a buff Tommy Elliott :)

That scene will be tough to explain to my wife, but I was just "acting." Of course, she didn't see what went on behind the scenes, but "hush hush"

[Shot Gun Shy]

All this news is ****ing amazing.

[smatt584]

Just looking at those pictures shows that if the batpod were a part of the tumbler, it couldn't use either of the front tires and the back ones are too big. The article about the batpod said that the engine is inside the wheels, which we can see is not possible with the tumbler's wheels. We can also see underneath that there are no other visible tires, so either the tumbler is changed during the film, the pod is completely inside the tumbler and out of view, or we are expected to have a serious suspension of disbelief during the scene. Either that or the post was just plain wrong about where the batpod fits into the movie.

[Terminator]

he's probably gone by now to answer questions/

He's too busy hanging out with super models, movie characters. and being that guy in the background.

What happens when filming ends and the world ceases to exist in real life? Will he go crazy telling everyone he's part of Gotham's elite and Wayne is Batman? When does fantasy end and real life begin? Maybe a trip to the looney bin. Poor soul. :csad:

[Hunter Rider]

Maybe because the scoop is wrong? From the interview with Nathan Crowley below, it's said that Batman needs Batpod for a specific reason, he requires to do something he can't do. Nathan Crowley built it after reading the script. So I think the bike must be separated from the Tumbler.

I didn't, Jett received it and posted it on his site.

I'd be happy with nothing like the train scene in the finale, just didnt fit in well with what came before. A bike chase is a given though, bound to get some photos of that.

Mak posted some more rooftop photos for those that missed them

you know whats funy? it would be easier to film this in the studio with greenscreen. but now lets film it outside. and it amazing.

this will look amazing in themovie.

Thanks. I think that's two different places, the first on Navy Pier itself, and the other south of there at the end of E Wacker Drive

[typeorocks]

Yeah I'd really like to see what they do with this....I figured the barge set would be something to blow up or something. But the boat lift I don't get.

[ihavecomputer]

i have a feeling some massive green screening is going to be installed there.

[sasquatchs]

The bottom set is on a floating platform isn't it? Might not be the final filming location

[Mikesimus]

Could possibly be some sort of on/off system for the ferries or boats if the rumours are correct about everyone being evacuated

[fooknasty]

I actually live about an hour away from Chicago and I am planning on going up there either Sunday or Monday. Does anyone have any heads up on where would be the best place to try and get some solid picks for those days? I have heard a lot about the construction on Navy Pier, but I doubt any actors will be there because it doesn't look completed yet. If anyone has any information on where some of the actors will be shooting, that would be awesome. :yay:

[sasquatchs]

We know alot less now than a few weeks back, the parking garage on Randolph street has no parking signs around until the 25th in places, so they may be filming for almost a whole week. Check out the Information thread linked in my sig

LOL, maybe Nolan will personally ask you to replace Christian Bale as Batman in the movie, judging by your brilliant performance as an extra. Look out Hollywood this guys star is on the RISE!!!!!

They aren't boat lifts, they're drawbridges.

[Threshold]

If only being an extra actually got someone credit for being in the film... ;)

It's pretty lucky that the guy got to be involved in such a key sequence as the big party being crashed by The Joker. I actually had to pass up my extra work in The Dark Knight because I had to film my role in an independent film. It may not have been in tuxes and with Chris Nolan at the helm. But I got to create a character who spoke actual lines and take part in some pretty intense sequences.

As an actor, it really just depends on whether you want the glamor or the work. I'll take the work over anything.

[Stringer]

^Right on:up:

[sasquatchs]

You call yourself a Batman fan! Nah, if I was an actor I'd go for the independent film too. What film is your avatar from? Or do you usually have blood all over yourself?

It was a rough choice, but the filming was before Nolan & Co. had returned to Chicago. I guess they were taking plates for CGI later and other group shots.

The pic my avatar is from is of my director (not pictured) and me after filming my big death scene, which is also the first death of the film (due to my character being a total dick). They've been saying that the teaser trailer, reportedly featuring me, may be going online soon. PM me if you'd like to get updated when it comes along.

[SantoAnderson]

Note to self:
Always refer to Hummers as "Hummer-like vehicles".
That's a weird prop for Nolan, but who knows, it could be a drug dealer.

And how does this guy know so much about picking up hookers?

[riskproductions]

Nice! What a douchebag commentary though. Thanks to the bloke, but honestly, shut the h*ll up lol. Oh yeah, just talked to my Aunt who lives in Chicago. Turned out her friend was an extra and worked all night on Friday Sat. an Sunday! I was like WTF, details please! Hopefully she calls back. Regardless Im spending the night with her on Thursday when I go up there (yes to get more footage). Ill get the 411 my friends.

To our Bat spies hopefully you guys can get more pics.

[jsf]

copy/pasted this from BOF. don't know if someone already posted this or not... probably since you guys are on top of this stuff right away, but either way...

* The Joker’s face is different, yet similar, to the pictures that have been released.

* Extremely different both look-wise and in manner to the two previous live-action interpretations.

* The white face looks to be “cracking” -- like dried-out face makeup.

* The Joker’s hair is long, greasy, and colored blondish/brown with green “highlights.”

* His clothing gives off a “…a demented Willy Wonka” vibe. The Joker also “…wears a long velvet purple trench coat with a diamond pattern purple shirt, a green vest, and very waist high purple pants. He sports purple gloves and a very long chain wallet.”

* There is nothing, and I mean NOTHING funny about TDK's Joker. He's one sadistic bastard. He'll be hated.

* From what “The Goon” has heard, Heath is taking The Joker to “…all-new f***ed-up levels.”

So I'm a mere 3 weeks late with this so probably not very interesting, but the new Batsuit and bike pics were definitely taken at the Familoe Building on St Johns St, London. I should have gone down there, gutted :csad: They actually used the set on Begins too for the GCPD police station, and Shanghai Warehouse.

This is where the reports came from of SWAT cars, Gary Oldman and rumblings of the new bike. Someone else said that they heard explosions too, so maybe something big happens at the Gotham Police Station?

[ihavecomputer]

i loved the GPD interior. good to know what building that was. is that architecture typical for that area?

[ihavecomputer]

i saw the tumbler yetsurday the one they have is differnt than that one.

that is the same one i took a pic of being unloaded yesterday. there are 4 or 5 in the garage now, all under tarps. where'd you see one? how was it different?

Not sure about the interiors but there's alot of these old industrial buildings and yards around there, although industry has all moved away now

[regwec]

So then why are you holding onto this version of Joker that we clearly were not going to get from the beginning?

Becuase my tastes and opinions aren't entirely transient?

Hmm, so educated guesses here but with the info above, Ledger being in London at the time, and what we know about the police station rooftop/garage in Chicago (purple truck, tumbler, stunt wires, breakable walls, SWAT, police dogs, gun firing rehearsals), I'd say a mammoth action scene will happen at the police station

[ihavecomputer]

sounds about right. the action probably won't take place on the GPD rooftop set though - there are no breakable set pieces in place.

could it be that the joker gets arrested and his goons assemble en-masse to break him out? just a stab in the dark. it should be noted that among the trailers gathering near the garage there are a few doors bearing the label "J-Gang".

[The Compass]

I was downtown today for an appointment at 111 E. Wacker, and here is an update on filming locations:

111 E. Wacker: Set was being emptied, green screens and lighting were being packed away. Staircase and fake bookcases still in place at 1PM.

Parking garage at Randolf and Wells: Lots of prepping around the entire structure. Tons of lighting equipment across the street (Randolf side) at ground level. Also a lot of lighting further down Wells underneath The EL. Security very tight at the entrance to the garage.

Sounds good to me, there is someone incarcerated in the sides that could be the Joker

Does anyone know if there's anything happening at Lakeshore Athletic on Stetson Ave, or is that finished?

I hope this picture posts here. If it doesn't, the info is that the bat signal is up.

where did you see that?

[ihavecomputer]

franklin & washington. two blocks from the garage. it's an empty lot that has become populated by cast / crew trailers of the course of the last few days.

oh cool.

i should have noticed the big fat "chicago" in your location. thought you meant in a picture.

"Takin' my time
Choosin' my lines
Try'n' to decide what to do
Looks like my stop
Don't wanna get off
Got myself hung up on you

You don't wanna talk about it
Seems to me
You just turn your pretty head and walk away"

Oh, sorry, wrong J-Gang. :oldrazz:

INT. VACANT ROOM

Randolph (Gordon?) enters: COPS IN UNDERSHIRTS, bound, gagged, blindfolded. Randolph moves to the first man, RIPS the tape from his mouth.

RANDOLPH
What happened?

TERRORIZED COP
(breathing hard)
Took...they took our guns, our uniforms...

RANDOLPH
Who?

TERRORIZED COP
I don't know. I just remember his...

RANDOLPH
His what?

TERRORIZED COP
His smile

[sasquatchs]

I wasn't thinking of that one, but it seems to fit in very nicely too. I wonder if "Randolph" is an injoke seeing as they're filming on Randolph Street

[Crook]

Joker could very well be in jail at the middle of the flick. In one of the sides, Joker (presumably) is in a cell, and he has a nice chat with one of the guards about how many friends he's killed.

Shame, they filming in the city and it's like no one was really excited about it.:o

Here's a new set report from Chicago.

From dpnash:
My street's gonna be famous! [Jun. 15th, 2007|08:56 am]

So yesterday morning when I left for work they were setting up trailers & trucks for a movie location shoot on my block. But it wasn't clear yet which one. I didn't get home until 9:30pm, though, cuz I went direct from work to dinner and movie with a friend. As the friend was dropping me off at home and we saw just how much stuff was parked on the street, with a small crowd of neighbors observing we realized it was obviously the new Batman movie!

It's not every day a major movie films across the street from your apartment, right?

Unfortunately I really didn't see much, other than Gary Oldman in his full costume & makeup as "Lt. Gordon." The cast trailers were all parked on the basketball courts of the school that my building is next to. The filming was across the street from there, in a building on Cuyler and in a small alley/parking lot area behind it. Some kids told me that Christian Bale had indeed been there earlier in the day or evening, and that he'd been driven the short distance across the street from the trailers to the set, to avoid getting mobbed or photographed. (I heard Heath Ledger's name mentioned by the crowd but dunno if anyone actually saw him.)

Speaking of photographs - I didn't take any. I brought my camera out, in its bag, in case there was something to shoot. But I saw a security guy stop a guy who had his cell phone camera out. So I figured they'd totally freak if I whipped out a 6-megapixel DSLR! Even though I question the legality of "not allowing photographs." From everything I've read, if I'm standing on a public sidewalk or street, anything I can view from there is fair game for photography. Movie or no movie, my impression is that they can ask that no photographs be taken, but I don't know that they could actually stop you or arrest you. (well, I mean, they could claim as much and arrest you anyway just to harass you, but I don't know how legal that is in the end.)

Besides which, the only picture I coulda got was of the group of neighbors waiting in hopes of a glimpse of something. Or of a big "cherry-picker" type lift, which was holding up a big lighting rig over the height of the 6-flat apartment building being used. I think what they were doing was creating fake daylight in the alley/parking lot behind the building, so they could continue a daylight shot during night hours.

Oh, and the crew - depending who you asked, they either wouldn't say anything about what movie it was, or they said it was something called "Rory's First Kiss." Despite the fact that there was a Gotham City Police car parked in the school parking lot. And despite Gary Oldman walking around in recognizable costume! Hehehe. They knew damn well they weren't fooling us. And whenever someone walked by and asked, the onlookers said "Batman."

So it was both very cool, and kinda disappointing at the same time. At any rate, when the movie comes out I'll be looking for glimpses of my street!Source: http://dpnash.livejournal.com/

Sharp looking African American males needed for Rory's First Kiss

Hello! Are you a sharp looking African American male 18 to 60? Do you have suits and look attractive? (Yes, I'm talking about all you beautiful men). Well, there is a very cool scene for you! This shoots on Thursday, June 14th and possibly other dates. These are non-speaking roles. Non-speaking, yes, cool... totally!

These are paid extras positions on a Warner Bros. feature film. Don't miss out. Be part of this wonderful film.

If you might be able to do this scene and you fit the bill please e-mail me a photograph with your name, all your stats, and phone number ASAP!

e-mail to: jadeph@gmail.com

Thank you so much and have a great day.

[ihavecomputer]

signs have been put up around the garage pointing to an extras' meetup point and RFK crew base camp. given that there were no extras involved in the BB rooftop shoot it's safe to assume we're going to see something larger in scale.

they're very close to being able to shoot. so much that it's making me nervous that they might shoot tonight. the rooftop is immaculate now, all debris and equipment from construction have been removed. lights are all set up on the streets below, power cables attached. the only thing that's missing is the massive lighting vehicle (http://sleepless.blogs.com/george/08_lighting_truck.jpg) used to brighten the block. once that bad boy arrives we'll know they're ready to begin. that said, i'm contemplating swinging by later.
