The Dark Knight Rises Joseph Gordon-Levitt as John Blake

If they were going to use Black Mask, they would have used Roman Sionis.

 

[RedIsNotBlue]

If they were going to use Black Mask, they would have used Roman Sionis.

While I don't think we will see Black Mask it would be easier to make Alberto Black Mask simply because it would be difficult to setup a completely new villain when we already have so many new characters being introduced.

 

[Brother Jack]

Perhaps, but if they brought in Alberto to be another masked villain it would make more sense to use Holiday or even Hangman, rather than tying in a completely different character. And besides, I'm confident Alberto won't be filling in as a masked villain anyway.

 

[Doctor Jones]

Well I just reread TLH and DV (still love them) and I doubt Holiday will be used. A murder mystery is a whole movie in itself. You can't develop that while you have Bane and his plot since he's the main villain.

Now Nolan uses TLH and DV as influences. You hear some lines and see some of the images, but not much. They do have an influence though and are just inspirations. He has never outright taken an entire plot and used it to adapt. The biggest was Dent's arc, but even he twisted that around.

Reading DV, Porter coming in after Dent and the aftermath of what happened with Dent would be a great direction to go in after TDK. And Gordon's wife and child leaving him. Gordon putting together a task force could be used as well. And I remembered I got the idea of Alberto wanting to legitimize his family name from Mario Falcone. The stuff with Porter and Gordon is something I could see Nolan going with.

 

[Catman]

Yeah, I don't think he will become a masked villain. There just isn't any room for that. They may just use him to do what Carmine did in The Long Halloween. He'll use one of the "freaks" to help defeat his enemies. That freak being Bane. And, Selina Kyle will be seeking revenge from the Falcone family and that'll be her role to play in the whole. Meanwhile, Bruce and Talia will be a seperate thing. Which is how Bruce and Ra's storyline worked in Begins. They were almost a seperate thing from Falcone and Scarecrow.

I really hope he has this:

Well someone is complaining about Nolan basically bringing back a majority of the actors from Inception to be in TDKR. It is silly for someone to be upset by that because if they are talented actors and can play a part well then they should play it. Just because the worked with a director before shouldn't invalidate their talent or validity. Martin Scorsese is definitely a main example of a director that often recycles the same actors and his films are amazing hence making that person's whining ridiculous.

perhaps it's a good thing that person isn't whining about Scorsese.

I personally can only imagine how much nolans films would suffer if Michael Caine wasn't around to reprise his supporting role over and over.

 

[Rowsdower!]

I don't know if they will do the Holiday story or not, but if they do, remember...

There were two holiday killers.

Just food for thought.

 

[Hurm...]

I don't think they'll adapt the Holiday story completely, just take a few aspects from it to form a murder mystery.

 

[Doctor Jones]

But Bane and Catwoman mixed with a murder mystery? Bane wouldn't really fit into that would he? There's not alot of room for that.

And reading DV it was always spooky that Gilda suddenly disapeared after the events of TLH and was never heard from again.

 

[Brother Jack]

And reading DV it was always spooky that Gilda suddenly disapeared after the events of TLH and was never heard from again.

From what I recall she left the country, or at least Gotham.

In Face the Face Harvey mentions "She's gone now." or something like that. But that could mean anything.

Maybe she'll come back as Four-Face or something.

Now I am getting confused. Are you trying to be sarcastic here?

 

[Caped Crusader]

Would be interesting if they tied some killings together with Alberto & Dent

 

[Avengers-Report]

Would be interesting if they tied some killings together with Alberto & Dent

Idk how that would work. You mean Alberto ended up killing one of the people we thought Harvey killed?

 

[Yurka]

It would be interesting if they try to pin Dent's murders on Alberto/Holiday somehow, but I cant see it not going against what Gordon is standing for.

Just somehow involved

Inception star Joseph Gordon-Levitt has signed on to play The Holiday Killer in the third Christopher Nolan Batman movie.

The actor's villainous character, aka Alberto Falcone, is the son of mobster Carmine Falcone, who was portrayed by British actor Tom Wilkinson in Batman Begins.

Christian Bale's Batman killed Falcone, Sr. in the first movie.

Gordon-Levitt joins Heath Ledger, Cillian Murphy and Ken Watanabe on the list of director Nolan's Batman bad guys.

lol

 

[HighFivingMF]

I can't believe they mentioned Cillian Murphy and Ken Watanabe over Liam Neeson.

 

[Gianakin_]

He didn't kill him. He just didn't have to save him.

 

[batman11]

I find it humorous that the article paints him as "The Holiday Killer, aka Alberto Falcone" and not the other way around. t:

Oh yeah, and Bats' murder and Neeson's absence is good too.

 

[Saint]

Christian Bale's Batman killed Falcone, Sr. in the first movie.

That line is actually a secret plot detail they're letting slip; in the TDKR script I read, it's revealed that Batman secretly murdered Falcone during his assault on Arkham in Batman Begins. You see, the big twist of The Dark Knight Rises is that the Bruce Wayne we've been following since he left the League mountain enclave is not the real Bruce Wayne; he's Ra's Al Ghul in disguise (Liam Neeson was just another decoy).

Falcone had found out the truth, so Bat-Ra's killed him.

Another thrilling twist is that Alberto Falcone isn't actually a villain; in order to bring Bat-Ra's to justice, he travels across the world to rescue the true Bruce Wayne, who has been imprisoned by Talia Al Ghul ever since we saw him first arrive at the ninja enclave in Batman Begins.

However, Talia's bodyguard, Bane, kills Alberto--but not before Alberto can send out a distress call, answered by Christopher Nolan driving Optimus Prime with Robocop riding shotgun. They free Batman, and they all drive Optimus Prime straight across the ocean, all the way back to Gotham where Batman fights Bat-Ra's on top of a train.

Bat-Ra's, beaten, asks "Have you finally learned to do what is necessary?" As the train begins to crash, Batman says "I won't kill you, which also means that I will rescue from this chain of events I have orchestrated," and saves Bat-Ra's from the crashing train.

In the end, Gordon and Batman meet on the rooftop of police headquarters. Gordon says there's a new criminal in town--hired by the mob who were hired by Ra's who was hired by the police who were hired by Hugo Strange--who leaves a crucifix at the scene of his crimes.

Batman, knowing that not even he can withstand the power of a wrathful Super Jesus gone mad, must now form the ultimate team to challenge this new threat. He'll need a partner. A sidekick. He takes his batphone and dials a number.

Somewhere, in a cabin in the middle of nowhere, Bruce Banner picks up the phone.

BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHMMMMMMMM!!

Credits roll.

 

[Avengers-Report]

That was horrible writing for any Batman fan haha.

 

[Saint]

I think that's my best one yet; even better than the one where Nolan deflects bullets with his beard (which he has since shaven, sadly).

 

[HighFivingMF]

Now do Nolan's vest Vs. Aronofsky's scarf!
