Moore wrote TLH?

I think he meant to say TKJ instead.

i hope prestige is good, itd be GREAT if nolan n bale could rack up a few oscar nominations before da sequel.

 

[Bat Attack]

Neat.

 

[Batty Belfry]

The Prestige...October can't get here fast enough. It'll be a great morsel to hold us over until BB2. I think it'll do really well simply because all of us bat-geeks are dying to see the dream team in action again.

 

[TRUE]

cant wait later this year for more announcement

 

[Batty Belfry]

Unfortunately....I would have loved to see the other phases of Scarecrow.

Was there much of his footage cut? Somehow I was under the impression that practically all of what was filmed was in the final version of the movie....?

A whole scene involving the Scarecrow in a similar form as the monster Batman. Sort of like a monster Scarecrow... it seems is was cut due to being VERY disturbing.

With a great director (Nolan), a great cast (Bale, Jackman, Johannson, Caine, Bowie), and great source material (The Prestige), it'd be damn near impossible for the movie to be anything but great

Ooooh that would be awesome! I wonder how much that footage is worth in $$$$ I'd nearly sell a body part to see it.

Thanks!

Me likes this update! Joker Backstory, while I could have done without, as long as it is done right I'm sure many a average fan and fanboy alike will come to have a new found apreciation for The Joker character. More villains eh? I say Penguin, Black Mask, Maroni.

This SHOULD be the ultimate Batman film IMO. NOLAN YOU'RE A GOD!

 

[The Fallen]

double

 

[DV8]

man . . . why couldn't they have included more Scarecrow phases in the director's cut!?!?!?! Dammit!!!! It would def make more sense that BM was in 'monster form' as well . . .

 

[spdrknight]

I love updates! Great to hear some news and that from what sources have said that the film is still trying to be faithful to the material.

I may or may not be on board with this backstory thing, depends on what avenue Nolan takes the Joker's past in. But either way I am sure I'll be happy, Nolan so far has handled the characters well.

As far as Ledger's casting and the explantion for it... I still want to hear more about Nolan's vision (which probably will be kept tightly under wraps for a long while, trying to keep fans in suspense). But I am on board with Ledge and see Nolan's thinking, which will probably surprise people.

 

[BatMatt]

Flashbacks shouldn't surprise anyone as everyone of Christopher Nolan's films have had them

 

[batman7289]

that was a great piece of info

 

[Ceb-Man]

Great news.
I trust Nolan. This will be the ultimate Batman movie.

 

[RedIsNotBlue]

I wonder if all of the villains will be tied together?

 

[The Shape]

The mob bosses, maybe, but it's been stated that the Joker will not be tied to them.

By who?

 

[The Shape]

By who?

- "The Joker will be the central villain, although he isn't directly connected to the other 'villain plots.'"

^ From a plot update at BOF. Read the thread we have for it for all of the details.

 

[The Fallen]

It should be Maroni vs The Roman in a gang war with Pengin selling the arms to both sides. And The Joker should be the 'wild card' messing up everyone's plans.

 

[RedIsNotBlue]

Well I don't take anything from BOF as firm but sounds cool.

usually when they report something it's pretty legitimate. the only time they've screwed up was when jett started all of those bull**** lachy hulme/paul bettany rumors. he really dropped the ball on that one.

 

[StorminNorman]

well jokers joke was pretty funny, heh.

Batman should never think the Joker is funny - especially after he just shot and paralyzed Barbara, and tortured his friend.
