Anthony Michael Hall in TDK - Page 13

Ceb-Man · 05-22-2007, 03:45 PM

I tend to think he will be a classic villlian. I could seeRiddler or Black Mask.
Isn't it fun right now guessing???

neobido9999 · 05-22-2007, 03:56 PM

ok, this is a bit of an out-there guess

What if AMH plays Edward Nygma (Nashton - whatever) asnd he is a humble employee of Wayne Enterprises, in the technical department. But - and here's the twist - all the while he is really the riddler and is playing Batman and the Joker (this murderous maniac who's arrived on the scene) off against each other. So he's sitting in wayne tower, pretty much the entire movie, exagggerating and faking the joker's taunts to enrage batman - in order to discover the identity of the latter.

That kind of idea would fit into what he says. hey maybe it's crap, but i thought it connected the pieces, and it seems good to me, though it does blunt the joker a bit.

-he's in the entire movie
-he's a suprise
-he's a villain
-he's a well known charcter (how many well known charatcers left are there that he could play? i'd say, form Joe Public's point of view, Catwoman, penguin, Riddler. And he's perfect for one of those)
-he interacts with Fox and Wayne
-we (think we) know the joker taunts batman during the movie
-with scarecrow -post taser, joker and two face - black mask would be one too many deformed characters

I have a bad feeling that maybe since AMH is a wild card for the movie he's a character that he doen't fit into(like the Penguin).

My money's going on the vigiante decoy/wannbe Batman, but then again that would be a little too close to Spiderman 3's plot with Topher Grace as Venom.

But I'm hoping for him being Green Arrow as unlikely as it is.

I think the surprise should be that he is really an old classmate named Ted Kord of Bruce's when Bruce was a Senior in High School and Ted was a freshmen. Bruce tried to get Ted to fix him up with this little redhead who he had a crush on.

Another though, if it's a charcter they can keep secret up to and including the films release, then he mustn't be visually distinctive. but rather identifiable by a symbol (lie a question mark cane/badge/screensaver etc etc)

Think about it, if they said "James Gandolfini is in it but we're not syin who he is because its a surprsise" then you'd guess, the second you saw him on screen with a long nose and umbrella that he's pengiun.

If they cast AMH as black mask, you know the second you see a guy in a black mask that he's playing...well, you get the idea.

But if you see an anonymous Wayne enterprises employee, slowly learning more about bruce's idnetity, then, at the end, see him wearing a question mark emblem, then THTA's a surprise. the audience didn't know riddler had been in the film until now. Very fitting for the character.

A) Green Arrow is a vigilante with a questionable/blurry ethical code (IE: The Punisher)
B) Goyer has talked about introducing other DC Universe characters to film and is penning a Green Arrow flick.
C) TDK would be a perfect movie to intro Green Arrow and then spin off into another movie that focuses on him.
Possible...yes...probable...maybe/maybe not...it would be different and original and proper if it is done perfectly.

^ lol, yeah wtf. I mentioned it as a quirky suggestion from Goyer to Nolan but c'mon, get serious dreamers. Same goes with Azrael, the hell?

You've laid it well and it seems a perfect fit, but I dunno why it still just doesn't seem right to me. Too good to be true maybe? If it is true damn it WOULD be a HELL of a surprise....

I would be cool with that too! That's what I like about Nolan and the team of story writers. There are several possible, and very interesting, ways that they could successfully deliver a full and complete story while we're enthralled the whole time.

So exactly how would a vigilate who uses archery better than a cat burglar who's infatuated with cats, or a guy who's a bit odd looking who likes birds?

I dunno. I'm for all of it if Nolan can pull it off with no camp.

05-22-2007, 05:02 PM

hey there... long time lurker, first time poster....

what if Nolan's pulling the old Switcheroo on us... Im not suggesting that Hall's really playing the Joker but I wouldn't put it past Nolan to mess with us

05-22-2007, 05:15 PM

thanks for the welcome...

yeah... I don't think that's it either... in every Nolan movie thus far there's some sort of reveal or twist... wonder if Hall has something to do with it....

I higly doubt that, Ledger is The Joker.

Batty Belfry · 05-22-2007, 05:22 PM

The progress on this film is really developing in a strange way that I don't think any of us could ever predict. I sort of wish I was around here for BB filming.

AMH is kind of creepy on The Dead Zone. I don't really watch it but my wife does.

and once again my two-faced friend.. never suggested that... Im just saying that there was a time we all thought Ken Wantenabe was Ras Al Ghul... not very long mind you with the leaked script...

I also don't think that Nolan is going to repeat the same plot twist... I just feel that there's gonna be one...

Just read up on him, and I am in agreement with you here. Perhaps he is a member of the league of shadows who after figuring out that Bruce killed RA's will go after Bruce/Batman for vengeance?

I could be wrong but thats a pretty obsure character... Goyers not involved this time around.. I doubt Nolan's ever heard of him

And you're probably right. What would a Nolan movie be without a plot twist? Welcome to the Hype btw!

I actually would like a surprise like that!.. Unlikely, but I'd really like that

clearly Michael Caine is really the Joker... clearly

05-22-2007, 05:29 PM

This announcement has got me so pumped for the movie, I've been a fan of Anthony Michael Hall ever since I saw him in Weird Science.

raybia · 05-22-2007, 05:31 PM

There seems to be a few opinions about Miranda around here, so I will also add mine.

I don't know the full scoop concerning Miranda not being around but I will say in my 3 + years around here, she is one of more productive members of the hype.

I say productive because she offers enjoyable comments, opinions, and information concerning the Nolan's Batman films. She is a very considerate person and has treated from what I'm seen, other posters with respect and camaraderie.

She is obviously passionate about Batman and the Nolan Batman series and that is one of the reasons why I like her because we have that in common.

And this passion for Batman is what make her a valuable asset to these boards, so I ask all of you to appreciate people like this, because it makes this place a fun environment to hang out in from time to time.

I am saying alot of nice things about her because she has treated me and others in like fashion and I would have this to say regardless of her gender.

My appeal to you Miranda is that there are more of us that value your presense around here than not, so I hope for your quick return so we can begin having fun again discussing and critiquing Nolan's new flick.
