Nice find there, Spider. Never noticed that. Probably because I was drooling over WM and the Mark VI.

Oh and btw RIM, I love all the stuff you post. You post the best stuff. You're actually alot like Andre@s from the TDK board. So thanks for all the stuff and keep 'em coming. :)

[Redd]

Right on!

What do you mean by regulars in regards to your 3 friends? Do you mean they actually had some dialogue or close ups?

Oh sorry, "Regulars" is a term that is used by background people and people on set.

A "Regular" is a person that is a background person that is consistently called back to be on a certain show or movie. They very rarely ever have lines. In order to have lines on a show, you have to be part of the show for more than 5 years or so.

If you go back and look at some of your favorite shows, you might notice certain people keep popping up in the show. EXAMPLE: go watch NBC Heroes. You might notice the same Carnival people over and over again. Those people are considered "Regulars"

Everyone that does background work wants to be a "regular" on a show. It makes it easier for them to find work. And in this economy, the work is really slow.

Also, everyone wants to have lines on a movie or tv show. WHY? Because you can get paid over $800 for saying just one line. And also you get residuals every time it is aired in a movie theater or on TV.

The arch kinda looks like the "Central Park Gates" and for the lotus flowers in the water? That is a reflection of a explosion going on behind WM.

If that were so, the reflections would be larger, not multitudinous and small, because there is only one source of light behind War Machine. It seems more like the flowers were litten up, instead of a reflection.

...
What could possibly lead you to that conclusion?

[Shadow-Guardian]

Does anyone else think WM looks kinda...fat?

[hame4479]

I am in 3 different scenes. I also, became friends with some of the crew. They told me a little bit about the story and what is going on.

Also, I have 3 friends that were "regulars" in the movie. They worked from February 09' to July 09', and they told me a lot of what was going on in the movie.

Plus, from the 3 scenes that I did, there was a lot of action and dialogue going on. Just from that you can put the pieces together and figure out what was going on.

For awhile I had a quote from the movie in my signature, but I took it down because of the contract that I signed when I joined the movie.

Well let us know what u know. Pleasssssseeeeee!

[hame4479]

Does anyone else think WM looks kinda...fat?

He looks bulky, but in a superarmored badass kind of way.

[marvel_freshman]

Hes supposed to. Him being bigger & heavier shows how more high-tech Iron Man is, basically standing out as he should cause it is his own movie.

[SpiderByte]

Like Union Jack should get his own film. Or Captain Britain.

[LightningFlash]

If that were so, the reflections would be larger, not multitudinous and small, because there is only one source of light behind War Machine. It seems more like the flowers were litten up, instead of a reflection.

Do you just want it to be in Japan? Lol.

[Redd]

Well let us know what u know. Pleasssssseeeeee!

I can't. I am under contract. I could get in big time trouble if I do.

[Fort Max]

It's probably just some corporate garden/show area or something done up in a Japanese stylee since corporations, having no culture of their own always seem to copy Japan.

*Ironette pictures*

So that's what Redd's been doing all thsi time!

Someone suggested Japan, but most seem to agree it's not.

But yeah, likely a corporate garden or something. It would be fun if it was a hint at the Mandarin.

[Iron_Stark]

I'm not a particular fan of the alcoholism. It'd be a far cry from the fun tone of IM and IM2 and Stark would spend a big part of the movie without being Iron Man, which I also don't want to see. I think "Demon in a Bottle" can be done without, well, the bottle. What if the Mandarin organized an attack against every aspect of Stark's life. Using Titanium Man to keep Iron Man busy and the Ghost to steal the Iron Man's blueprints and selling them in the black market trough Justin Hammer, framing Tony and making him a public enemy of the government, SHIELD and the public, as well as targeting Tony's loved ones, destroying his factories and etc. It'd be pretty much the classic plot, but, instead of giving the armor to someone else, Tony would be more motivated than ever to stood up and fight.

IMHO, obviously.

Oh, and I also don't think Pepper gets a new boyfriend in this.

This.

**** Demon in a Bottle and **** the Tony gives up being Iron Man for most of the movie for alcoholism story line.

More "Iron Man 2" storyline spoilers!
http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:BDr2sMBESt15EM:http://www.filmofilia.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/ironman2.jpg
1) "I am Iron Man." With those words, billionaire industrialist Tony Stark revealed his secret identity. Now a famous high-tech superhero, he uses his powers to protect mankind. Yet things are not going well for Tony Stark.

The U.S. military demands control of the most powerful weapon on earth--the Iron Man suit. His beautiful new assistant has a strange, mysterious agenda while his best friend, Rhodey, has betrayed him. And Tony is hunted by a vengeful Russian criminal armed with a lethal technology that may be stronger than Tony's suit. But even as he fights his demons, the hero faces his greatest threat--one that no armor can defend against...

Meet all of Iron Man's friends (Rhodey, Pepper, Agent Coulson, Nick Fury) and his new foes (Whiplash, Black Widow, Justin Hammer).

How is Black Widow a foe? She's a Shield agent. She has the symbol on her uniform.

[LightningFlash]

It's called being a spy.

[The Navigator]

Plus she doesn't have the patch on here:
http://img40.imagefra.me/img/img40/2/2/19/redwoods_wolf/f_doeapkm_d526d43.png

[protocida]

Photoshop.

[The Navigator]

Or it's just, you know, not there.

[protocida]

It's there. Check the trailer and the Black Widow thread. The photoshop was prooved.

[The Navigator]

I refuse to admit I'm wrong! :cmad:

...yeah, I was wrong.

[Avengers-Report]

Maybe Shield feels like Iron Man is a threat, but idk if you can classify her as a foe.

[LightningFlash]

Black Widow is most likely a spy working for S.H.I.E.L.D., but actually working for the US government that want Stark's blueprints for the Iron Man suit, so they can send the prints to Justin Hammer to build an Iron Man-like army, lead by Rhodey as War Machine. Although Hammer is also working with Whiplash.

At least that's my take on Iron Man 2's premise.

If true, that's a lot of double-crossing in one movie.

[SpiderByte]

I want a huge shouting match between Rhodey and Stark, that goes along the lines of:

"Tony, you've gotta turn it over, it's a weapon."
"You made it a weapon. I made the suit to help people."
"Tony, I had no choice, I -"
"You're no better than Stane."

[sabetoonth]

I want a huge shouting match between Rhodey and Stark, that goes along the lines of:

this would be cool

Although Hammer is also working with Whiplash.

At least that's my take on Iron Man 2's premise.

Probably going to happen, I just ope Widow's character isn't too complicated and doesn't crowd the already busy story line.

[Jostru]

I want a huge shouting match between Rhodey and Stark, that goes along the lines of:

"Tony, you've gotta turn it over, it's a weapon."

Next you'll be telling me that if her whole bodysuit isn't covered in micro-suction cups that allow her to climb walls like Spider-Man that you'll be pissed about that as well.

Widow doesn't need wrist blasters. Guns are just fine and dandy for her, IMO. When was the last time she used those wrist-blasters in the comics anyway? Seems like they got shelved a long time ago.

[Hype_BEAST]

* 6inch Whiplash, Black Widow and Nick Fury are planned, as some people said over the Hasbro conferention on Toy Fair'10.

That is purely speculative, bro ... there is no confirmation on that and if they are just being "planned" and aren't in production, it could be awhile before we ever see them.

For example, see the newest wave of The Dark Knight movie masters set to release in Spring. Mattel sat on the fence with making addittional MM figures, had to wait till the movie released to get a finalized look of Two Face in order to design and mass produce a figure and we're about to get key figures from key scenes in the movie ... a whopping two years later after the initial release of MM TDK figures. Same can happen with these "proposed" concepts.

Let's face it Hasbro is focusing its efforts on the 4 inch line. All figures are changing to this size and scale due to production cost, pricing @ retail, etc. And from the looks of it, the line itself is very well done. Alot of the details for instance on the 4 inch Mark I are better than the Mark I from 2008 the original film.


* Bad paint on War Machine + looong neck
Huh? Where do you see bad paint or a long neck?

The Marvel Select figures are out of this world quality.

Only true problems is that its ashame they're not making more characters in that line, full of Tony's other armors (Mark I, II, III, V) and no Whiplash, Iron Monger, etc

And the other negative is that two of the three figures being released (War Machine and Mark IV) are going to be BORDERS exclusives. Nothing like giving the exclusive rights to a fairly obscure bookstore.

[RealIrOnMaN]

1) That is purely speculative, bro ... there is no confirmation on that and if they are just being "planned" and aren't in production, it could be awhile before we ever see them.

2) Huh? Where do you see bad paint or a long neck?
That is veeery funny man)

1) It is possible to release other movie characters in 6inch wave in IM2 2-packs, like they did with MKVI and War Machine Wal-Mart 2-Pack (http://comicfigs.net/News/images/N85_587.jpg). + they also showed Exclusive MKIV (with Tony Stark's head) figure from Toy Fair (http://s859.photobucket.com/albums/ab152/RealIrOnMaN-1/robert-downey-jr-with-iron-man-2-1.jpg), which means, that it will be either an sold separetely exclusive figure or they will just put it in another Iron Man 2-pack with some movie character (Black Widow, Whiplash, Nick Fury). Now, if you saw this pictures, you might fing that IM2 6inch figures from now on have: new sculpt, applications, head, double wrists and paint. How great is that for the collectors? Why not to make MORE 6inch EXCLUSIVE figures.

2) NO! YOU DIDN'T!! Ok, ok))) Here ya go (showed at Toy Fair'10): http://www.cooltoyreview.com/TF2010/DST/image41.asp
The paint is alll-too black bro, so no offense, but I really liked the promo one better.

Now my question, bro: are you the same Beast from thefwoosh.com?))

2 exclusive sketches from Chris Kawagiwa + one of the Ironette talks about "Stark Expo" scene:

Herlocker (http://blogs.westword.com/latestword/renee%20ass%20over%20pool%20table.jpg) says: "I'm actually in the opening of the movie. The lead character, Tony Stark [played by Robert Downey Jr.] has a cast of professional superhero cheerleaders called the Ironettes, and I'm one of them."

* She was originally scheduled to speak a line or two prior to Downey delivering a big speech to a convention crowd. Problem is, he was having problems memorizing all the dialogue, so the sequence was cut down in length, and her speaking part wound up being scrapped as well.

Link on the interview: http://rockymountainspirit.blogspot.com/2009/10/ex-broncos-cheerleader-is-ultimate.html

So the expo is the beginning of the movie then, maybe doing the whole flash back thing again, starting with that and then retreading all the stuff to do with his dad etc, maybe

[kedrell]

I've never known her to use suction cups. :whatever:
But why have the bracelets if they serve no purpose.

Yep, she did:

The Black Widow uses a variety of equipment invented by Soviet scientists and technicians, with later improvements by S.H.I.E.L.D. scientists and technicians. She usually wears distinctively shaped bracelets which fire "widow sting" energy blasts, as well as "widow line" grappling hooks, and tear gas pellets. She wears a belt of metallic disc-charges containing plastic explosives. Her costume consists of synthetic stretch fabric equipped with micro-suction cups on fingers and feet, enabling her to adhere to walls and ceilings.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Widow_(Natalia_Romanova)#Powers_and_abilitie s

I agree about questioning why have the bracelets if you're not gonna use them(I actually think the grappling hooks angle is what they'll use them for, if anything). You can see that she already has a side-arm so wrist blasters is kinda redundant. Maybe tranquelizer cartridges for non-lethal combat or spy stuff? That was basically what the widow blasters were for, to knock people out rather than kill them.

I like, how they did the helmet. At least, it differs from previous helmets not only in color, but in the stripes too.

That would certainly put it over the edge with me deciding whether or not to get the Marvel Select or this one.

I think, that it is pretty much possible to do with Mark IV figure, but I can't tell you for sure, because I don't know, if the figure is going to be in Iron Man 2 Wal-Mart 2pack with some other character or will it be sold separetely as some kind of Wal-Mart/Comic Con'10 exclusive figure?

This set (with Iron Man 2 Wal-Mart 2pack: MKVI and War Machine (http://comicfigs.net/News/images/N85_587.jpg)), for example, includes 2 kinds of wrists, so I think, that if this Mark IV Tony Stark figure will be included in 2pack, it will be possible to change the figure's wrists.

[SPOILER]"Help Tony Stark/Iron Man collect enough power to build a new suit of armor. Tony's newest suit of armor, the Mark VI, is complete! As a special bonus, once the Mark VI suit is ready, a final battle begins between Iron Man and his friend War Machine vs Robotic Drones."

You can see all Mark's and War Machine there:
* Mark IV
* Mark V
* Mark VI
* War Machine Armor

I swear to god, if that's how the movie ends, I'm going to be pissed.

i wants them all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[marvel_freshman]

RIM got to it before me. I was gonna post it but I was prepping my cap articles.

I want the Whiplash badly. His costume would look the closest the the actual thing.

[kedrell]

The BW one should have the black & red Widow symbol on the belt but other than that it looks fine. W/o it, it simply looks too generic. A side arm would help also.

This post is directed to RealIrOnMaN. On the walmart exclusive figure with Tony Stark head, you can switch heads right?

That would certainly put it over the edge with me deciding whether or not to get the Marvel Select or this one.


I'd go with the Hasbro one, it has more articulation, alternate hands & a Tony head. It might also come packaged with War Machine.

[justmyname]

are there more news about this movie?

Not news really, but I saw Sam Rockwell in "A behanding in Spokane" on Broadway Monday night. He was alright, so I hope his performance in the film is better, but Christopher Walken was great as usual in the play. At least Walken stayed around for autographs after, Rockwell just flat out bailed.

[Redd]

Or I would be happy with some viral marketing...

[WindsofHorus]

i like the viral marketing idea better.

[Redd]

Cuz, let's face it. When we all did the TDK viral, we got to be INVOLVED in the movie. Plus it was fun and exciting for us nerds to be running around the Chicago and Los Angeles area doing all these games.

Plus by us doing these games, it will put the word out about the movie. HELLO! I thought that everyone realized that. (Nudge* Nudge* at the executive people)

That is one of the many reasons, that The Dark Knight made so much money! They did over a year of viral marketing.

And could I get a discount on the Whiplash costume if I just take the chestplate?

I could use my shoestrings for the whips and they'd look the same and most likely the same effect.

Yeah, you would figure they would make an armored toy or something by now if he was going to get an armored suit. They made Weapon XI Deadpool toys way before the movie after all and that was supposed to be a big scene.

I hope there's an actual fight between Tony and Vanko when he is in his Mark V suit because if Ivan is only the sub villain like it is rumored to be ( I hope he gets a suit) then he deserves a proper battle. after all they wanted Mickey Rourke so bad. If not I can live with it.

I find these two pictures specifically interesting, basically because we have seen the mark VI with the silver parts on it but this one is all gold, and he is wearing the silver parts in the scene with war machine, which leads me to believe at that point the Mark VI isnt finished which means that the iron man and war machine scene isnt the end of the movie so im glad about that.

The MarkVI is awesome and well proportioned. :up:

[RealIrOnMaN]

good call on the mark V there
No pro) After all, it is my favourite armor in this movie)

[Mr. Stark]

Or it can also mean, that the armor may be battle damaged in that "Drones" scene.

Im not saying your wrong because that might very well be it, but if you look at the kotobukyia figure there is no damage on the suit at all, and their stuff is extreme detail, not to mention that a "battle damaged" mark III was released after iron man 1. But not only that but the silver plates are very deliberate on the biceps and knees, i dopubt he would have damage just on those two areas

[Kent]

It's a very short moment where we get to see the practical suit, but it looks to me like it's more easy to move in this one then the one in IM1 (which in the few scenes they had it looked clunky to move around in).

Of course the suit will be improved upon, so this shouldn't be too surprising. (I always assumed the suit he has on in the trailer before the "You complete me." line was CGI because he moves so fluidly and easily in it, but maybe it's practical)

[Mr. Stark]

that new video also makes me believe the whole "you come from a family of thieves" speech is during the interrigation

The toy looked pretty bad, but in this pic Ironman looks A_M_A_Z_I_N_G_!!! Or it can also mean, that the armor may be battle damaged in that "Drones" scene.Battle damaged? What do you mean? That both his biceps and both his kneecaps were damaged and the paint was chipped off? Seems intentional.

Hmmm, yeah, now I'm confused.

By the way, when Downey talks about "Monaco" scene he says:
"What a cool suit (Mark V). What a great sequence. What a blast!"

[Jostru]

I knew Vanko would be captured!

And Mark VI looks absolutely amazing.

No mid section( to be replaced with CGI later)

[Steyin]

When Stark is walking down the hall and the damera stops on the guy in the cell behind him before he enters the interrogation room, was that Vanko or someone else? I can't pause the video at the right moment to see. That pause of the camera on him seems odd if it wasn't Vanko.

He's not related to Hammer at that point.

Right on.

I also hope that isn't the final scene, how anticlimactic, IM and WM just easily mowing through a bunch of drones.

The final battle should be Iron Man vs "the big bad", be it upgraded Whiplash or Hammer in a suit.

[the alamo rippe]

ohh i think iv figured it out...

Justin hammer breaks ivan out of that jail, with the use of the drones..

[Iron_Stark]

Agreed. I'm thinking that War Machine tries to stop Whiplash (who I still think will get a new and upgraded armor), but gets his ass kicked and right before Whiplash is going to finish off War Machine, Tony arrives in his finished Mark VI and starts the final battle against Whiplash.

i dont think thats true because in the trailer you can clearly see war machine chasing tony and shooting at him durring that night scene

[protocida]

He'll have a change of heart.

I'm betting War Machine will fight the Hammer Drones while Iron Man fights Whiplash in his ED-209 mecha.

But just in case anyone missed it. Now everyone can stop whining. It's not official, its just battle damage!

Probably scorched off the paint in one of the explosions while fighting Rhodey, I bet, or ripped off or damaged so bad Tony had to take it off. Whiplash wouldn't do that type of damage, it would be slashed if it were, it looks like they were knocked off

[Mr. Earle]

The suit with the silver parts is not battle damaged, probably just a different paintjob or maybe Mark VII, because:

1) The suit isnt damaged anywhere else.
2) The suit is damaged on both biceps and both kneecaps and the paint was chipped off perfectly? CONVENIENT MUCH?
3) There is a toy of the damaged suit?

Official Mark V and "Stark Expo" scene description!

1) http://img641.imageshack.us/img641/5744/mkv.th.jpg (http://img641.imageshack.us/img641/5744/mkv.jpg)

Tony Stark is caught unaware by a surprise attack by the crazed Russian rogue Ivan "Whiplash" Vanko! Luckily, he's got the powerful, portable Mark V armor with him.

The one drawback to the IRON MAN armor is that it isn't very portable, so it's only available when Tony Stark is home. That's why he invented the Suitcase Armor. Though not as powerful as other suits, it's light and compact enough to take almost anywhere, concealed in a simple suitcase.

2) The Stark Expo is thrown into chaos when Justin Hammer's haywire drones begin attacking everything in sight. Luckily, Iron Man and War Machine are there. Even though the drones outnumber them ten to one, the two Super Heroes are more than enough to handle them.

[SpiderByte]

Imagine this:http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/9457/ultironman01.th.jpg (http://img21.imageshack.us/i/ultironman01.jpg/)
Though, I don't hate this design. In comics it is doing some great stuff (Warren Ellis's "Armor Wars #1-4"), but yeah, on the big screen it would've not looked as cool as Adi Granov/Phil Saunder's designs.

[TheVileOne]

I can imagine how much I would hate it onscreen since I hate it on the page. I hate that gaudy ugly as **** design.

[Redd]

Look at this shot:

http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii289/SpiderByte_photo/nogray.jpg

I was here for this scene. That set was huge! This is just outside the expo. So, yes there are vendors at the expo convention center.

This is the one that was in the Sepulvida Dam.

I was at this one too. Do you notice the War machine armor off to the right? :woot: This was shot over at Raleigh Studios. My seat in this scene is off to the right of the stage.

Yeah, 500 extras and 1 exit door. Not fun when you are running.

Official Mark V and "Stark Expo" scene description!

1) http://img641.imageshack.us/img641/5744/mkv.th.jpg (http://img641.imageshack.us/img641/5744/mkv.jpg)

Tony Stark is caught unaware by a surprise attack by the crazed Russian rogue Ivan "Whiplash" Vanko! Luckily, he's got the powerful, portable Mark V armor with him.

The one drawback to the IRON MAN armor is that it isn't very portable, so it's only available when Tony Stark is home. That's why he invented the Suitcase Armor. Though not as powerful as other suits, it's light and compact enough to take almost anywhere, concealed in a simple suitcase.

2) The Stark Expo is thrown into chaos when Justin Hammer's haywire drones begin attacking everything in sight. Luckily, Iron Man and War Machine are there. Even though the drones outnumber them ten to one, the two Super Heroes are more than enough to handle them.


Where did you get this from? Cuz I was told that I could not talk about this scene until the movie was released.

[TENK]

I think the suit with the grey parts is just a upgraded version of the triangle suit for the finale fight.

look

maybe he can transform the suit during the fight for more armor

[Dr Lee]

Redd- How bright are the eyes and chest lights on the suits? different shots seem to show different brightness's

Guessing by the Toy packaging in the spoiler box... from that....

[protocida]

Redd, is that the final battle?

Those are the only ones that are filming here in California.

But right now my next film that I am trying to get on is Pirates of the Caribbean 4.

That one is going to be fun.

The suit is big and clunky, it constantly runs out of power, and Tony needs a team of mechanics to help him operate it, or even repair it right in the battlefield. Its a different version that is cool in its own way.

There is a huge speech that *Someone* gives. That scene is awesome.

Give it a couple of years before there's an Iron Man reboot and they take story elements from "Ultimate Iron Man"


Blue Tony Stark for the win

More of Howard Stark than this version

Let's be honest here, RDJ's Iron Man takes cues from the golden age and Extremis.

Heck even the new Superman movie is going to take elements from John Byrne's superman(supposedly)

[Rocker22]

This makes me want a new trailer incredibly soon.

[Aesop Rocks]

I'd say March.

[kedrell]

Yeah, likely around Oscar time.

It's inspiration, yes. But I don't see how one could be mad over it.

It's not blatantly stealing TDK's aspect of the Joker/Batman dynamic. Sure, there might be one line copying Gordon's speech, but this dynamic will feel different. TDK didn't create interrogation scenes mind you.

I wish people would stop trying to compare Iron Man 2 and The Dark Knight. First the "You complete me line" and now this. The Dark Knight didn't originate lines and/or scenes.

Give it a couple of years before there's an Iron Man reboot and they take story elements from "Ultimate Iron Man"

Iron Man 3 will have to suck first.

Are YOU serious? ... what did you expect?

The 1st movie was literally almost a beat for beat rip off of Batman Begins

This looks line another atrocious rip off of Nolan's Batman series that has been scattering through out Hollywood.

I mean they have taken scenes and characters from TDK and literally made whole movies around them. I heard a score from this terrible vampire movie with Ethan Hawke. Add this to a long line, and sure to get longer of films that have aped some aspect or more from The Dark Knight.

Shows just how influentially that film truly was.

I mean watch the trailer, the whole theme of "escelation" from Batman Begins to Dark Knight is shown in the transition from Iron Man to Iron Man 2 ... just re-worded. "The sharks will come."

It's the same thing.

[Hype_BEAST]

Why? The comparisons aren't even legit, they are exact rip offs.

Sure TDK had completely original lines and scenes.

Difference?

Dark Knight's interrogation scene was INFLUENCED by a scene of an immovable force and an unstoppable object being rivals and having a candid philisophical discussion in the movie Heat. They met in a public setting in a diner.

This is literally an exact rip off.

The hero visiting a incarcerated villain of the film, interrogation style. Yeah, I'd say thats kind of a rip off.

The dialogue in the teaser from Whiplash is in essence the things Joker said to Batman, just not as inspiring / original and with a russian accent.

[LightningFlash]

So that means the movie Cop Out ripped TDK off too then?

Every Law & Order episode.

Bones.

CSI.

They all ripped off TDK.

Damn TDK for being original with having interrogation scenes :cmad::o

[sabetoonth]

wow, hypebeast, a little tdk minded are ya? well, again tdk didnt invent the interrorgation scene, hell, this is the first interrorgation wer etheyve only left him his underpants that i can think of

this is no rip off, crap almighty

You do realize Whiplash got interrogated by Stark in the Demon in a Bottle storyline right after an unprovoked attack, when Stark was away from his home enjoying himself? Sound familiar? Long before TDK and a Killing Joke interrogation. (actually Ant-Man did, but Stark asked him to do it)

But I guess since the Gospel of Nolan did it, everything gets set to zero. Every interrogation scene from now on is a rip off to TDK, everytime someone says "You complete me" is rip off, every time there's a superhero movie that comes out after July 18, 2008, it's a rip off, every time there are police cars following each other with their lights flashing, it's a rip off, every time a hero fights a villain and his hired goons, it's a rip off, every time a villain breaks out of jail, it's a rip off.

As our Lord and Savior Nolan said in his 8th commandment, "Thou shalt not STEAL."

The Dark Knight was the first movie in cinema history to have a interrogation room scene? I didn't know that. And can you elaborate on the similarities of the speeches by Whiplash and the Joker? "An unstoppable force/immovable object" is one of the most common themes in movies. Ever see The Mummy? Imhotep clearly was a unstoppable, yet Brenden Fraser was immovable. So, did the Dark Knight rip off the Mummy? Or every James Bond movie, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, and every single movie in history that had a hero and a evil bad guy? Speaking of James Bond, Goldeneye had an interrogation scene and a close relationship between the villain/bad guy. Complete with mayhem on the streets, cars being destroyed, an old guy that hooked the hero up with gadgets, and a scene in a club (Eric Roberts/Robbie Coltrane).

So, there we have it. The Dark Knight ripped off Goldeneye. Batman is a rip off of James Bond. Lucius Fox is a rip off of Q. Gordon is a rip off of M. Maroni is a rip off of Valentin Dmitrovich Zukovsky. The Joker is a rip off of Alec Trevelyan, complete with messed up face. The explosions/battle on the streets of Gotham is a rip off of the chase on the streets of St. Petersburg.

Oh, wait. Thats right. You probally are too young to have seen Goldeneye. Like 85% of Dark Knight fans, this is probally the first good action movie you have seen. I like that movie, but you people need to just stop with propping Nolan up like he is god, who created every plot point/scene in movie history. You can find plenty of similiarities in his movies with those in others. The truck flip in TDK? Terminator. The jail scene? L.A. Confidental. The ferry/explosives scene? Do you recall the Green Goblin forcing Spiderman to make the same choice in the movie that came out before both Nolan Batmans? I. Rest. My. Case.

Good post although I disagree with the Terminator and L.A. Confidential comparisons. As far as Nolan is concerned, he's much better when he isn't dealing with Batman. I'm much more excited for Inception than I am for Batman 3. In fact, I wish he wouldn't even bother making Batman movies anymore. He's too talented to spend his time on archetypal rehashes that have already been done many times in the superhero genre.

thanks. I think the jail scene in TDK had a similar feel to the hectic one in L.A. Confidential. In both hectic scenes, you had vengeful cops and prisoners that needed to be protected. I wasn't really trying to say Nolan ripped this off, just providing an example to these younger fans of the similarities that can be drawn for any movie.

Inception looks awesome, hopefully Nolan gets an Oscar nod for this. I think he has deserved more credit for his movies. Not on here of course, but in Hollywood and in the media. :yay:
