not so much robin...but nightwing, after nolans done these films will continue

[Mr. Earle]

You clearly dont know much about Robin and Nightwing do you?

[archangel_jay]

You clearly dont know much about Robin and Nightwing do you?

I know plenty about robin, and how he becomes nightwing, the later robin who replaced him and also how nightwing became batman on what is now two occasions in the comics. I was merely stating my thoughts on it. Bale said he would never do batman if robin was in it. The film verse takes libities (its not the comics!), there for it is a possibility. Its a shame that debate is rubbished as people are so strict on the comics. When Nolan, Singer, Vaughan and many other comic book movies have taken libities with the source material to make it more cinematic

[TheBatman072]

We're not getting either Robin or Nightwing in this movie.

Nolan himself has said that Robin is still in a crib somewhere.

[Mr. Earle]

Bale and Nolan are done after TDKR anyway so we ll have a new team even if the continuity continues.

Anyway, you cant have Nightwing without him being Robin first, not to mention that Nightwing is his own man, not Batman's sidekick. He helps out but he's on his own most of the time. Also, the whole point of Robin is that Batman gets a surrogate son, so Robin has to be a teen at most. If he's a grown man, then they re bros, not "father and son".

[archangel_jay]

If we don't get him we don't get him. Its just my inner comic book geeks do or die will to see nightwing finally! we can all have our thoughts

[venus_ice]

Anyone in London and interested in hitrecord, they'll be having a show there on July 2nd http://hitrecord.org/records/415434

[Miranda Fox]

I was wondering if John Blake might be somewhat based on Jason Bard (and not because their names sound similar. ;) ). Some of Nolan's originals have been inspired by characters from the comics, and the Bard rumour was one of the options I liked.

Thoughts?

[The_Raganork]

not so much robin...but nightwing, after nolans done these films will continue
:huh:

What?

No they won't

Word has it that Nolan will stay on as a producer and WB will essentially reboot the franchise with a new cast/crew.

Yes, and? A reboot means these movies WON'T continue.

a new set of movies is starting

Haven't you learned anything about what ''word has it'' means on the internet?

Word from Warner Brothers is pretty solid.

[thisisbonertown]

Haven't you learned anything about what ''word has it'' means on the internet?

It carries a little more weight when Jeff Robinov says it (http://herocomplex.latimes.com/2011/03/29/justice-league-the-movie-warner-chief-sets-sights-on-team-up-film-and-reinventing-batman/).

lol, since he's a guy its ok!!

lol, since he's a guy its ok!!

Lol, this was going through my head as well.

I figured I'd counter all the Anne needs bigger boobs talk in the other thread with that.

At least I didn't describe the sex I'd have with him :oldrazz:

[Kynergy]

Lol, this was going through my head as well.

But that's the thing, she doesn't need bigger boobs. I don't get why people are so caught up on her looks. She looks fine, its the acting everyone should care about. She's a great actor, but I'm sure Nolan will find something in her that we haven't seen before

At least I didn't describe the sex I'd have with him :oldrazz:

Please don't :awesome:

I agree, I think Anne is fine, I do think she's a little too slim with in that recent pic but, I have confidence

[DoomsdayApex]

Agreed, Anne is a very desirable (insanely hot and sexually attractive) actress who can also happen to act -- unlike 60% of actresses today.

What is this obsession with big breasts? I'm more of an ass guy but I think Hathaways' cup size is fantastic. Why aren't her breasts good enough? I would really like to know.

[The_Raganork]

Go the the Hathaway thread for that, I didn't mean to get us off topic so much

Well since you mentioned it...

[*Whiplash*]

Hollyweird is too fake and it needs people like Hardy to bring it down a peg or two...especially when men walk about all fake-tanned up, looking like melting leather couches and botox flying about everywhere.

Screw that. Ruff n' scruffy for the win.....




I think I might be gay.... :funny:

Quick, someone post some Hathaway cleavage!

[DoomsdayApex]

Unfortunately, this is a JGL thread Whiplash. I could provide some JGL cleavage, if you wish.

[Kynergy]

I agree, people like Hardy, and JGL, are very down to earth celebrities. They seem to be very nice to their fans and enjoy being around them. Some celebrities will just shrug off their fans as if they are pests. Hardy and JGL seem to be to people that realize if it wasn't for their fans, they wouldn't have a career. Same seems to go for Anne as well.

[The_Raganork]

Unfortunately, this is a JGL thread Whiplash. I could provide some JGL cleavage, if you wish.

Yes please. :awesome:

[DoomsdayApex]

I think some of it might be due to anti-social behavior with some actors and actresses. Some celebrities may act alittle shy or scared of their fans, and the spotlight.

I know, if I were a celebrity, I would be too, but I would like to think I would overcome my fears for the people who gave me a career in the first place.

[guy_from_nerk]

Not trolling, but I have been lurking this forum for a few years now and just decided to register. Anyways I was watching BB today and decided to do some batman researching, I came across something that I found interesting, maybe its nothing but oh well. Anyways I was looking at a list of all of Batmans enemies and ran across Cat Man, real name Thomas Blake, I just found it ironic that 1. Theres no John Blake in the comics and 2. Catwoman is in this movie...maybe its nothing at all or maybe its a way for Nolan to tie Catwoman and John Blake together?

Catman (Thomas Blake) was a world-famous trapper of jungle cats who turned to crime because he had grown bored with hunting and squandered most of his fortune. He became a burglar who committed his crimes in a cat-suit made out of an ancient African (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Africa) cloth he believes gives him a "cat's nine lives."


Maybe he is the cop that will be put in charge of hunting down Cat Woman and admist that, turns corrupt himself

Hm, I sort of see the resemblance to Joe. Although at first glance, I actually thought it was Jake Gyllenhaal. :doh:

Bale is taller than Joe so if that's really Joe then it can't be Bale he's talking with since he (the guy who looks like Joe) appears taller. If that's Bale, then it can't be Joe. Unless Bale was leaning on the cab and that's why he looks shorter. [/I'mSoOveranalyzingThis]

Joe must have been standing on a step, because after a few seconds he moves around and is suddenly a couple of inches shorter than the guy in the suit. I say, it's Bale and Joe talking in between takes. :woot:[/overanalyzesWithYou]

POSSIBLE SPOILERS!



Okay, so the "Batman in the Burgh" thread has been off the chain for hours and hours now... tons of spoilers galore... and with those spoilers, we are reminded of this quote from months ago, about the possible plot of TDKR:

As she herself confirmed, Anne Hathaway will be Catwoman in the movie. I can’t tell you what role she has in the beginning, but by the end of the story Catwoman isn’t a villain but rather an ally of Batman. And who are they teaming up to take out?

The League of Shadows.

Headed by Talia Al’Ghul. With Bane, who is her muscle/possible love interest. And with Joseph Gordon-Levitt in tow. Is he playing Black Mask? My source didn’t know, but did know that Levitt is certainly an antagonist and involved with the League of Shadows.

So what say you? Is John Blake a villain as well? Is he a LOS member?

[batmanbeginsboy]

what if tate-cough-cough- is just trying to finish the order to ruin gotham and strategically placed henchmen in the political forum and in the uniformed services around Gotham. yes? maybe?

[sly]

So now everyone knows that Miranda Tate is Talia, can we finally move to the other big twist? John Blake!

There definitely isn't as much circumstantial evidence that John Blake is more than John Blake as opposed to the Tate/Talia debate, but I really have a feeling he's actually Alberto Falcone. Too many villains? Not a chance!

I'd like to see what other theories people have for why/why not?

[Goku Goes Crazy]

Nah, he isn't Falcone. He's just John Blake.

[brainsmasher]

what if tate-cough-cough- is just trying to finish the order to ruin gotham and strategically placed henchmen in the political forum and in the uniformed services around Gotham. yes? maybe?

Definitely a good guess. In fact, that makes a lot of sense. Did I mention how awesome this movie is gonna be?

wow awesome that you found that old post. that certainly gives more credit to everything we've heard today. I officially believe it.

[Cunning Stunts]

I'm calling it now as I have been (not on the boards, amongst my friends :p)... I'm thinking they're going to allude to John Blake being The Riddler, if in no other way than leaving a "calling card" at the end of the film, much like they did for The Joker in Batman Begins.

Regardless of whether this is the final film or not.

[Russell Nash]

To me JGL's character is going to represent the "people" of Gotham. His character arc will start off with him wanting Batman captured to answer for his crimes and by the end of the movie he'll see Batman for the true hero he is.

There are actually a few avenues in which at the end he could be presented as the riddler, but I just don't think Nolan would put him on screne and green tights. thus ticking off fan boys.

I don't think something like that will work. This is the final movie in a trilogy about Batman and Nolan will be too busy setting up Bane and the LOS/al Ghuls. No way he will throw in a beat cop becoming a super hero on the level of Batman in his absence, especially when there's still Catwoman running around. Way too comicbooky (how does Blake get his toys?), which is the opposite of what Nolan is going for with these movies. Hamming in that story line makes it sound more like Spider-Man 3.

I don't think it means him becoming a super-hero per se. More like he tries to fight crime on him own terms and rules, and he might get a bit out of hand.

He is a League operative posing as a policeman.

[Majik1387]

Extremely unlikely. They don't even have the same haircut. :o
Not sure if serious...

[RKO]

Not sure if serious...

Kinda serious. He would have to look just like him to be a stand-in.

Besides JGL wasn't even there for that shooting, he was already in L.A. There would be no point in having a stand-in.

[Cats]

Maybe he'll be the equivalent of Harvey Bullock.

[The Guard]

No, because if he was that, they wouldn't bother to include him in this franchise.

[Blader5489]

latino review said they caught wind of a rumor saying JGL/John Blake was gonna be a kinda Azrael character

If anyone is fulfilling the Azrael role in this movie, it'll be Catwoman.

[Excelsior.]

He is probably a LOS member disguised as a cop.

[venus_ice]

I'm torn between him being a LOS insider and a genuinely good cop in Gordon's ranks. I would love for his character to have more of a moral dilemma between hunting Batman as a wanted criminal and helping him. But then he would be so hot as a LOS ninja. So many feelings! :argh:

[UUBee]

John Blake is not who he says he is...

[sly]

He is probably a LOS member disguised as a cop.


If he's a villain, it's doubtful he'll just be a "LOS member." Not saying he'll be Black Mask or Deadshot, which is highly unlikely at this point... but Alberto Falcone makes complete sense to me, and would be a great story telling element in the trilogy. It ties the movies together and really pushes the father/son themes.

Anyone else with me on this one?

[brett66]

Perhaps he's in the film to replace all those terrible "police clips" with silly lines. This time, there will be a known actor repeating them.

"I DIDN'T SIGN UP FOR THIS!!!" (Flips off a wall).

They definitely need to up the one liner quotient. JGL as a more obvious comic relief character would really help I think.

But wouldn't the Gotham police force recognize the son of a major crime leader?

[UUBee]

But wouldn't the Gotham police force recognize the son of a major crime leader?

basically. Common sense is free. He's an LOS member. Nobody special, but he serves a special purpose.

[D.P.]

Here we go..

[Russell Nash]

I have no idea where this notion of JGL being a villain came from. John Blake is simply a beat cop who's character arc is going to leave him believing in the God Damn Batman. He'll start out thinking that Batman is a vigilante who needs to answer for his crimes, by the third act, John Blake will probably help Batman "rise." John Blake's character will be representational of the "soul of Gotham."

[Doc Holliday]

basically. Common sense is free. He's an LOS member. Nobody special, but he serves a special purpose.

Why do I feel like all you do is perpetually make vague hints at bogus twists about the movie?

[*Whiplash*]

Why do I feel like all you do is perpetually make vague hints at bogus twists about the movie?

Because his real name is M.Night Shyamalan.

[CinematicESP]

I can't help but feel like there's something more to him than just a minor beat cop character. He's included in the main cast. The only other original character that can say the same is Rachel, the primary love interest.

He must play a pretty important role somehow, but what? It looks like Marion has the wolf in sheep's clothing act going on, so I'm not sure JGL would be too. However, him being a LoS member would show that they're really attacking Gotham from the inside in several arenas.

[MultipleJesuses]

He's bound to be playing more than just a cop. He's JGL :)

[MultipleJesuses]

He's bound to be playing more than just a cop. He's JGL :)

[MeenieWK]

I think he will just be a beat cop, however, his special purpose will be that he finds Batman (who is still considered a criminal) near defeat, and either saves him or finds him wounded and makes the decision that Batman is too important to arrest, even though he could easily do so in his weakened state.

[RedIsNotBlue]

Yeah no doubt JGL's character is going to be a part of at least one major pivotal scene in the film.

[LokiDionysos]

I think this idea is the most likely. Something along the lines of him hunting Batman at first and then realizing he's actually a force of good. Then it could also go the other way with him finding out Batman's identity but keeping it a secret. Until Bane beats the secret out of him.

[sly]

But wouldn't the Gotham police force recognize the son of a major crime leader?


Of course not.

Wasn't Alberto kept away from the family dealings in the comics? And if he hasn't lived in Gotham since being a child and then partnered with the LOS, he could easily hide his past. Pretty simple.


Something along the lines of him hunting Batman at first and then realizing he's actually a force of good.


Meh, feel like any average actor can play that role. JGL is quite talented. Better for secret identities or playing dual personalities. I'm sticking with villain.

[the Wankstar]

To me JGL's character is going to represent the "people" of Gotham. His character arc will start off with him wanting Batman captured to answer for his crimes and by the end of the movie he'll see Batman for the true hero he is.

Ya know, when I passed by this poster, I had to stop and ask "Heath Ledger made another movie before he died?" then realized it was JGL I was looking at.

Heath Ledger...Hedger...Hesher. :woot:

Coulda, woulda...is all I'm sayin'.

[Doc Holliday]

Does anyone else feel like it's kind of crapping on Ledger's legacy and one of his greatest performances to just recast him because some people think JGL resembles him a little bit?

Let it go.

[American_Idiot]

Does anyone else feel like it's kind of crapping on Ledger's legacy and one of his greatest performances to just recast him because some people think JGL resembles him a little bit?

Let it go.

Nahhh. JGL is a good actor and gives Nolan the performance he asks for (otherwise he wouldn't have reused him). I didn't feel like they crapped on Richard Harris' portrayal as Dumbledore when they replaced him with Michael Gambon after his death during the Harry Potter series either. Show must go on sometimes.

Besides, I wasn't like "They MUST recast the Joker", but if they were to, JGL would've been a good pick.

I know, and that wasn't solely directed at you. I've seen several people say that and it just irks me.

As for the Harris/Gambon example, I do agree that it didn't feel like they disrespected him at all. But I would call Gambon's performance much more definitive. His characterization of Dumbledore was very different from Harris', and came (conveniently) at the point where Dumbledore's characterization in the novels started to shift.

But you're right, sometimes the show must go on.

[UUBee]

the thing is, Heath Ledger's performance was so specific with all of his vocal nuances, physical behavior, gestures, and idiosyncrasies that it would be impossible for an actor to organically create that kind of performance and make it feel as if it is unrehearsed, spontaneous living thing, happening in front of your eyes.


Not to mention, JGL hasn't exactly shown too much acting ability in his career so far.

[Aluchak]

If you don't think Joseph Gordon-Levitt would make a good Joker, you seriously need to check this out.

http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l8ejguied61qdq3teo1_500.png

Seriously. They have the same face shape and features look the same, with make up, you wouldn't even be able to tell it was a different person.

And I definitely think he could pull off the Joker acting wise.

how does that make a good case for the argument? Yeah, I see the make up looks cool on him. Who wouldn't the make up look good on?

The argument falls flat at the point when you bring acting ability into it.

Heath was more than facepaint.

He had unique; hand gestures, face tweaks, mouth movements, voices, walk, etc...

No one, no matter how good the "makeup" is can be Heath's joker but Heath. GRR, stop it people.

This was old in 2009, it's really old now...

[bkey]

Not to mention, JGL hasn't exactly shown too much acting ability in his career so far.

Brick, 500 Days of Summer, Hesher, The Lookout, Stop-Loss, the guy has some chops on him. Hell, even in Inception he gives a solid performance. He's supposedly really good in the upcoming 50/50 as well. I wouldn't knock his acting ability.

Brokeback Mountain aside, Ledger wasn't much more than a pretty face when he was cast in TDK.

[Aluchak]

Its not Heath's Joker.
Its the Joker. Just because Heath died doesn't mean no one can play the Joker. I just wish we had a little bit of closure. Not just "Oh the Jokers in prison now, he poses no threat"

[Doc Holliday]

I feel pretty confident that they won't piss on Ledger's masterpiece to give "a little closure."

[Aluchak]

Piss on his masterpiece? Jesus you are close minded. You think Heath would like people talking about him like this? Treating him like he's some demi god? he was an actor. he acted. that was his job. and that is also JGL's job. And christopher nolan is a director. his job is to make a movie. thats what he does. I think heath would be humble enough to let someone else take the torch.

[antsman41]

No ****.

But in this trilogy Heath is Joker.

Someone else can try some other time.

Nolan's Joker is Heath, plain and simple...

[Aluchak]

And I know he would of had some sort of role in this movie whether it was big or small, had he of not passed away.
I just think having batmans nemesis in one movie and having the opportunity to bring him back in the next but not because of an actor would be a waste.

But his performance as the Joker was one of his greatest. It won him a lot of respect, and even an Oscar. So whether or not he would feel that way, many people would see it as disrespecting his memory since TDK was his last complete movie, and arguably his masterpiece.

[Aluchak]

It was a great performance, he was the best part of the movie, yeah. I just think its a wasted opportunity. Oh well. Nolan knows whats best for the movie.

Because he's dead, they have lost the opportunity to bring him back unless they want to risk backlash and stigma over disrespecting his tragic death.

It's not a waste. It's respect. It also allows JGL to have his own performance without being compared to the Oscar-winning turn Heath had in TDK.

[UUBee]

none of those roles are the calibre of stuff Ledger had done. He disappeared in Lords of Dogtown and created a unique, enigmatic character. That was the role that made me think he would have been a great joker. JGL was bland in Inception and did the most basic level of acting that even Channing Tatum could have accomplished.

Its not Heath's Joker.

The Joker doesn't belong to Heath. But the way the Joker was portrayed in TDK belongs to Heath. He created that characterization. Nobody had ever envisioned the joker like that. The way he walked, hunched, growled, play with his facial mannerisms. This was all Ledger's unique touch. It can't be duplicated without feeling manufactured.

[Charlie The Red]

The debate being had right now is exactly why I didn't want JGL cast in this movie.

I knew it would just go on and on and on...

[Doctor Who]

Yeah no doubt JGL's character is going to be a part of at least one major pivotal scene in the film.

Here's an idea ladies and gents:

http://www.comicbookbin.com/artman2/uploads/5/azrael5.gif
Me and my buddy Ron's thoughts.

This movie appears to already be dealing with much deception and giving vital roles to characters like Miranda Tate who is already looking like Talia Al Ghul; we had an idea of this already, and after the success of Inception, we could also piece together that Marion's role would be bigger that what has been said.

I FEEL the same way about JGL, and when me and a friend of mine got down to talking a bit, we realized that Knightfall is playing a pivotal influence with this movie. And alone reading this Gotham Beat Cop description he's playing, it's understandable that just a big of role could be at hand as well; Nolan's tweaked with characters before like Ra's Al Ghul with Henri Ducard, and he could do so again. He already has. So I'm giving this shout out: the possibility of JGL become Azrael. Discuss. :word:


And one last thing:

Batman Begins: Fear
The Dark Knight: Chaos
The Dark Knight Rises: Duality :cwink:

If JGL were to become Azrael, are you picturing him in a Batman-esque costume? Or just beating the tar outta criminals dressed as a cop?

That same thought you and your friend had crossed my mind as well, only I was thinking MAYBE he'd appear after the breakout scene and actually be the "Joker cop" we saw in TDK, covering up his scares with some heavy duty makeup. I know this probably won't flesh out in the movie, but would definitely surprise us all.

Has anyone read this?

Hypable has received a tip from a legitimate source that a very exciting villain, previously believed to not be featured in the film, will be cast in The Dark Knight Rises!

Before anything is said, Hypable would just like to make sure you take this with a grain of salt.

This is being listed under the extreme rumor category, but if it comes to be true, remember where you heard it first!

According to a legitimate source who has seen an official casting document stamped April 2011, Edward Nygma (The Riddler) is being cast in The Dark Knight Rises.

As of April, it doesn’t look like the character had been cast, but that most likely has changed now, nearly 4 months later. Below is how our source described the document to look:

EDWARD NYGMA (LEAD) -
BRUCE WAYNE/BATMAN (LEAD) – Christian Bale
ALFRED PENNYWORTH (LEAD) – Michael Caine
BANE (LEAD) – Tom Hardy
SELINA KYLE (LEAD) – Anne Hathaway
FEMALE LEAD (LEAD) – Marion Cotillard (attached)

As you can see, a space has been left next to Edward Nygma’s name, meaning that he had not been cast at the time of the document’s conception.

Before The Dark Knight Rises was officially announced, The Riddler was the lead contender in the rumor pool as the villain of the film. Joseph Gordon-Levitt, having starred in Christopher Nolan’s last film Inception, was the actor believed to be in the running for the part.

Levitt is playing a Gotham City cop named John Blake in the film. Maybe this police officer isn’t exactly who he seems.

Like we said, this is classified as a rumor, but stay tuned because Hypable will be here reporting on any news that may be released!

I'm calling BS on that. I'm all for being suspicious about JGL just being a beat cop, but there's no way Nolan will convolute the film this much with 3 (or 4, depending on how you interpret Catwoman) villains.

At least we know we're getting a Two-Face picture in DKR. And Eckhart kinda changed his tone about appearing in this movie in his most recent interview, so we'll see... :cwink:

Nah. Too many characters being introduced as it is and this film is wrapping up the Nolan franchise. Azrael doesn't even make any sense. That would be like bringing Robin into this film. Is it possible that JGL is playing a character who that is being kept under wraps? Sure. This is Nolan we are talking about...he likes to throw character twists in his films. But JGL could very well just be playing John Blake...a cop. But it is gonna be an important role in relation to the plot of the film regardless. JGL is too big of an actor to not play a major part.

sort of off topic guys, but since we're discussing Heath and the Joker...

If Heath would have lived, would you guys have supported a Joker spinoff movie? Sort of like "Catwoman" but much much better. An origin story so to speak? I always wanted to to see that, even more so than Ledger playing the Joker in a Batman sequel. I think his own movie would have have been fascinating.

I'll admit I had to read what Batman R.I.P. was on wikipedia. Sounds silly for a Nolan Batman movie... and again, no idea how they'd balance Bane and Talia. Riddler is just too big a villain.

Alberto can easily fit in this plot (or what we know so far), his family was already set-up in BB (part of story coming around full circle), Selina could be related (has been done in the comics before), and the character was already heavily rumored around the time the Talia leaks occurred (and we know how that has been proven correct).

I think we may see shades of the Riddler. Maybe Edward Nygma will make an appearance but not as the riddler yet. Which makes Nolan saying that Riddler is not in this movie correct.
The whole riddler part to his charcter in this movie could be that he is a cop, tasked to take in Batman who is obsessed with figuring out who Batman is, and the riddle of not only his secret identity but why he does what he does. He could still hate Batman at the end of the movie and that's why he becomes Riddler at some point in the future but for now maybe he keeps Bruce's identity a secret. Maybe someone simply obsessed with discovering Batman's identity who could turn crazier and crazier by the end of the movie would work too. I just really see the potential for his character to come about in this way if the police are still hunting for Batman.

However, I'm starting to think that if Riddler's in this that it's not JGL.

Maybe a special detective is working alongside the Gotham Police on the case and focusing on the identity aspect but JGL is running interference for Gordon because he too beleives in the bat.

I agree that JGL was actually using a fake name and is really the Riddler reveal is highly unlikely with everything else going on.

[Mr. Wooden Alligator]

Is the lady in white Marion?

I am not going to expect the Riddler, because JGL would've appeared in something referencing the Riddler's trademark look if he were playing Riddler. There's no reason for him to even be the Riddler, really.

[Miranda Fox]

I highly doubt John Blake is the Riddler.

Love those photos - JGL is such a player. :)

[HighFivingMF]

I have word from inside sources that Riddler isn't in this. I can't reveal his name.

It's Chris Nolan. He's said no Riddler already! The "He only said no RIDDLER. Not no Ed Nygma!" thing is silly. Just like assuming Selina Kyle would be in the movie but not Catwoman. They're the same person.

[AnneFan]

"Oh, but you're wrong. He didn't rule out Edward Nigma."

TFR - Typical fan response.

I don't believe this person. I'll need something more substantial. :o

:oldrazz:

Anyway, I agree. Nolan wouldn't have said anything at all about the Riddler if he was planning to have him the film as a surprise. He would've (and could've) said another villain wasn't going to be in it.

[the amazing fro]

If JGL is the riddler then I will eat my own waste and not the kind you put in a bin.

Though, on second thoughts I said the exact same thing about Cotillard being Talia...

:barf:

Look at Joe, showing off his great behind like that! ;)

I'd rather not, I will if you're going to make me. But I'd prefer not to.

[Wolvieboy17]

Look at it! :p

It's beautiful.

Lol JGL has done nothing but look shady from all the set pics we've seen of him :D

Haha, true. But the pics are still ambiguous enough that it's hard to tell, if he's on Team Bane or Team Gordon.

Btw, you got mail. :cwink:

[AnneFan]

Haha, true. But the pics are still ambiguous enough that it's hard to tell, if he's on Team Bane or Team Gordon.
Either way...it seems he's belongs to a third team. Team shot in the head. :csad:

Meh. I'm still sore about one. There's a part of me which hopes that rumour isn't true...

I want him to die by the hands of Bane/Talia or Gordon if he turns out to be a traitor (its about time he unleashed some badassery on all those traitor cops he's been with)

[venus_ice]

I know Retro is reliable and has been since I've been here but I still don't believe that particular rumor. Not to discredit his source or anything but it just doesn't seem right.

Mainly because I will cry if it happens.

Whats he carrying in those recent set pics? Is that a drum of gas?

"Look what I did to this city with just a few drums of gas and a couple of matches."

I also find it hard to believe that rumor if only because it happened outside and *nobody* was able to get a single shot of it? And hardly anyone reported that it happened at all.

But mainly I just don't want it to be true lol

We can cry together. Seriously, him going like that would kill me. :csad:

Yeah, me neither. Can't JGL just be an awesome good cop helping Gordon and Batman and doesn't get killed?

[coderaven24]

he's a villian, the only question is his he an iconic one, or a Nolan created one.

[kvz5]

I really think he's one of the good guys. Someone pointed out the little Batlike drawings in the wall in one of the scenes Joe shot. I think in the video that Subaru shot, it looked like he was making the drawings. It looks like they're either alerting Batman or they're in some secret operation to help Batman out and flush out the LoS.

Ah yes more proof he's a good guy. This is very important to me :funny:

I wonder who the woman is...is she in the scene?

Its going to be harsh. Everyone is going to be looking at me as I scream 'NOOOO' at the cinema ;)

Nah. She's wearing shorts and it's suppose to be winter.

[antsman41]

JGL leaving Bat-symbols is so awesomely NML...

Oh, yeah! Damn, I forget everyone aren't like the English...

I hope so. Besides, wasn't Daniel Sunjata's character described as a good cop?

I knew there was something like that in the comics.

But I still think he's gonna die. :csad:

[batbax]

Sorry for the nooob like question but ive never read NML. Just wondering what the precedence for the drawing of the batsymbols is, iow, what is the context of it in NML? I find it pretty interesting..like batman has been outlawed, and the only safe way to communicate is through the drawings.
