Is Nolan Scared?

I think the Nolan Bros. intended for most people to like the writing except TruerToTheCore. They said in some interview that they wrote it that way.

Also, the strong female leads you mentioned, who were awesome, were all before the mid 90s-forever explosion of bad Girls Kick Ass! heroines. So it can still be done right but I grew up during a time of darkness when every girl with an aggrivated vagina attempted to be made into a girl power icon.

No, that's about as lame as "Of course his actions don't fit with what he was before HE IS TEH INSANE!!!"

He was a bit too Darth Sidious in that alot of things that seemed like exciting events were really planned and were controlled the whole time, allegedly. And he does alot of things that you wouldn't think would be easy like get ferries filled with weird bombs and he can just do that cause he has men.

Sometimes I wish I had men.

I'd love to see what Nolan does with the next film, regardless of the villains, but I think he could make an incredible Catwoman and/or Robin. That's the best progression of this story anyway. I think the story should logically go to Dark Victory.
Batman's lost his faith in humanity. Emotionally, he's tearing himself apart. He hardly ever takes off the cowl anymore. He's afraid to let anybody in emotionally as much as he did Harvey Dent or Rachel. He's cutting himself off from human emotion. (I mean, this is Bale's chance to make people take back the words they said about his acting in reviews about him not being as good as Ledger.)
But as Dent said, the (K)Night is always darkest just before the dawn. The Dawn must come. That's why I think Batman should find kindred spirits in Catwoman and Robin. He realizes that he isn't alone in his condition and mindset, that he'll never be alone. That there's still good out there.

But I'm just spitballin'. I guess thats why I'm not the dude who makes these decisions

Watching TDK, instead of scared I think Nolan is sacred.

 

[Paste Pot Pete]

I have never seen that picture of Catwoman before. Hot damn.

I don't think Nolan's particularly scared of using any villain in his next movie to be honest (if he even makes the next movie). I think he's got a plan for the villains he wants to use and a way to fit them into the story. From what I've seen of the Nolan franchise so far, the villains fit into the story, not the story fitting around the villains, like happened with some of the previous Bat films. Personally I'm not particularly bothered whether he uses Catwoman or not, there are far too many Bat villains that have never had their turn in the limelight so perhaps he could take this opportunity to use someone new.

Nolan this Nolan that lol , Yh he did a good job,he aint God, Heath is the God in TDK

 

[Bobber]

Why do people keep saying Nolan should stop with TDK, am tired of hearing people think TDK is the second coming, comparing it to the Departed etc,

actually TDK is ten times better than The Departed.. Departed is one of Scorsese's worst films.

2nded. I like the feel of that movie and thats about it. IA was so much better.

Nolan created the film, direction, the concept, produced, wrote the script and casted the actors to be in it...as with the rest of the team.

and neither of them are God.

 

[jabbatheridge]

True, besides which, although it wasn't nearly as successful as TDK, Batman Begins was also an amazing comic book film and Heath wasn't involved in that at all, yet Nolan was.

 

[Comics N' Toons]

Why in sweet God's name would you want to go from The Joker and Two-Face in TDK to a Nolanized Penguin in the third installment? Talk about a jarring downgrade.

I believe there is no topping TDK. That's why I vote that Nolan needs to end while it's good. I don't want to a Batman movie disappointment of catastrophic proportions. And let's be honest... that's all it'd ever be.

It couldn't be worse than GEORGE CLOONEY BATMAN

 

[batlovescatDC]

I personally think that Nolan isn't worried about topping any characters that Burton/Schumacher used. Because I think in his mind his not portraying the same characters that they did in those films. He is portraying them in a completley different interpretation. Was Ledger's Joker better than Nicholson's... yes, it was. But the two of them were not portraying the same Joker. I personally hope and pray that Catwoman IS in the next Batman film. And I think Nolan's interpretation of the character would absolutely rock. Yes, it would be hard and almost impossible to top Michelle's performance, but once again, we will not be seeing the same character/portrayal as Michelle played in Batman Returns.... it will be a new Catwoman.

 

[Comics N' Toons]

i dunno... I mean the general consensus is Catwoman & Riddler... I dunno I mean I've heard speculation, but not anything definate that would warrant fans constantly going on about Catwoman or Riddler...

 

[batlovescatDC]

the only reason I go on talk about Catwoman is she's my favorite character. No other reason but that.

 

[batlovescatDC]

double post.

 

[Comics N' Toons]

I dunno I mean I've already agreed that a 3rd NOLAN/batman film would be made, but I do have doubts

 

[obiwan]

well....since penguin was already done ina dark twisted pshycotic way, nolan will most likely make penguin more of an intelligant, sophisticated mobster, the one from the comics. and lets say burton DID do the comics penguin, im sure nolan would make him dark, twisted etc. thats what he did with joker. its all about being DIFFERENT from what the other guy did.

 

[obiwan]

when we say faithful, we're talking about Catwoman of the comic books, not some idea of what Catwoman should be based off Batman Returns or TAS. If you knew the first thing about her in the comic books you'd know Michelle's Catwoman was FAAAAR from close. and not just talking about her origin either

this is one of those cases where i can gladly say "**** the comics". the movie version kicked the crap outta the comics version. i never ever liked comics catwoman OR penguin. maybe burton realized how friggin boring these characters are and injected some pizaz to them, which im glad he did cuz he created 2 of the best screen villians ever. seriously, i cannot see a batman movie where this woman just up and decides to become catwoman just for sh**'s and giggles and then goes robbing diamonds just for kicks. thats assine, and theres no deep thought out reason for her too, and the auidience wouldnt give a crap about a character like that. and making her an animal right activist ala BTAS would be laughable at best. no way, i dont think michelle will never be topped, even if they ever attempt to redo the character.

 

[maveholic31]

i believe nolan can take any interpretation of any DC character and knock it out of the park

 

[ScarecrowMan666]

Nolan isn't scared, he just doesn't want to use a craptastic villain like The Penguin. He wants something edgy and believable. As for Catwoman, I don't know his reasons there, but it would be a task to make a better Catwoman than Michelle Pfeiffer.
