The Dark Knight Rises Bane

^My god, reading that, I don't think I've ever seen someone sell such a small and irrelevant role...he acted as if he was going to be the main villain

Either way, I don't see how it matters.

One was an actor making ridiculous claims to build up his personal hype (and succeeded on our personal Hype t, whereas the other is the director and co-writer of the film. That said, you are on point with Nolan being incredibly vague...like...all the time.

While I don't see the situation as similar to Hall's, I think it's definitely within the realm of possibility that Hardy isn't playing a huge role. Not my personal opinion, but I don't fault anyone for thinking it. You never know with this Nolan guy. And I mean nevah!

Thank Goodness he was wrong. AMH was great back in the day but those days are gone.

Don't have the time to read all 100 pages. When I read that Tom was cast, the first thing that went through my head was that we was being cast to play the Joker (since Heath cannot) With the way that TDK piggybacked off of BB... I would think that the Nolans already had an outline/direction that they were heading in for their 3rd and final movie.

Has anyone brought this up?

 

[Majik1387]

Nolan has distinctly said no return of the Joker. He has also said he doesn't plan or outline future sequels while making a present movie.

Here are what I consider to be facts regarding this next Batman film of his.

1. No Joker
2. No Two Face
3. Nolan's final Batman film

That's just me though...

 

[rashad]

No Riddler
No Mr. Freeze

No Riddler
No Mr. Freeze

That's right! Forgot about those two.

To stay on the topic of this thread, I'm at a point to where I don't care if Hardy isn't the villian, I just want some news on characters. Even if that includes not saying who Hardy is out of them.

1 and 2 were confirmed. I'd like to see both but logistically Two Face would be dead and although I hope he's mentioned the use of CGI for Joker sounded bad.

Nolan said and believes this to be his last Batman film. They may be able to talk him into another one someday but the approach is definitely, last act of a trilogy.

I would love for him to do a fourth film but I think after TDKR he'll be moving on.

No name.
No other alias.

All we found in his pockets were Tom Hardy's name and a title.

 

[Wolverine1988]

I doubt he has a ANM type role,

The guy was the first new person to be cast, so hes gotta be a pretty prominent character i would assume.

 

[ModestMr.Green]

You know, reading Nolan's recent comment about Hardy having a "key role"... I'm suddenly hit by this feeling that he won't be playing the villain. I have no idea why.

I get the same impression. One could easily apply the 'key role' description to Coleman Reese, False Ra's, Brian Douglass, and any number of other characters, but they weren't main villains.

Michael Caine's Alfred gets injured in an action scene, he explodes and Tom Hardy's Alfred emerges from within him.

I thought that from the beginning. My sig may still be true.

 

[Boom]

Which means there could still be hope for Robin Williams as Hugo Strange .


I'm a dreamer.

 

[Symbiotic]

^I wouldn't be against it.

Make it so.

Nolan is going to pull a Raimi and have it turn out that Tom Hardy was Joe Chill's partner and he really killed Bruce Waynes parents. Then his going to stumble onto an experiment become shapeshifting monster clayface, have a fight with Batman have a cry and tell him his sorry for killing his parents then disappear

Everytime I start to forget how awful SM3 was, someone has to remind me.

It would be really neat if both him and Christian Bale return 10-15 years from now to see an older Batman in one last movie. That'd be beyond awesome if WB/Nolan were to do that.

It would be but I think a lot would have to happen for it to workout. Plus, WB would continue to make more Batman movies in the meantime.

And I am reminded why the franchise is being rebooted.

The horror...the horror. SM3 had a worse storyline than B&R.
