The Dark Knight Keyser Sushi Gets A Cookie

Maybe Selina Kyle will live in the same building and they bump into each other.

It's been mentioned many times. Nolan and Goyer even wrote the introduction for the Absolute edition of The Long Halloween, where they mentioned how much of a basis it was for BB, and how much they were going to use it for TDK.

Also, I Believe in Harvey Dent is a quote straight out of TLH.

That's all fine and dandy, but it doesnt mean that the movie is based around TLH.

So you don't think he lives in the Wayne Enterprises building? That's how I assumed it'd be, the top floor of the tower.

No but its big influence on Dent character.

 

[Katsuro]

Nolan saying the movie would be based around TLH doesn't mean the movie will be based around TLH? How does that work.

I'm not saying it'll be the exact same plot, because we obviously wont have the Holiday killer and whatnot, but it'll have a humongous influence. The trio of Batman, Dent, and Gordon working to take down a killer terrorizing Gotham. Not to mention having the same tone, where it's more of a gritty detective/crime story than a flashy superhero film. See the similarities?

People would easily find out he's Batman.

Then they are using elements of the story, not basing the moving on TLH.

I expect the penthouse to be in an extremely fancy hotel somewhere by Wayne Tower and the GCPD.

 

[TheMadHatter]

maybe hes just sleeping in the batcave (im only kidding dont yell at me)

You mean the hotel he bought in BB?

You just put words in his mouth. He said before that they are basing it AROUND TLH. Which means taking elements from the story and adding them to their own. He never said they were basing it ON TLH.

Terminology. One could argue those mean the same thing. The point is, the basis of the story, which is the trio going after organized crime while dealing with a lone killer, is the same as the basis for The Long Halloween.

The original point stands. It seems quite likely this story could take place over a long period of time, because it would take time to develop the relationships between these characters. Not just from the audience perspective, but the characters. It would make a lot more sense to Batman and Joker to build up this hatred if they've only been going at it for a couple of weeks. It'll be much more interesting if it's been months to a year of Batman trying to stop the Joker.

I believe Mr. Sushi was the first to bring up the fact that Bruce once lived in a penthouse in some earlier Batman comics - an idea he suggested may lead Nolan to use as inspiration for a home away from manner for our playboy billionaire.

According to Jett - Keyser got it right:

Bruce lives as a downtown Gotham penthouse because Wayne Manor is being rebuilt.

That also gives us some indication of time range between BB and TDK

I dont like that idea, I just want it to show the wayne manor already built

From what I've read so far, it does seem to take place over a matter of time. If ya think about it, if you had both cheeks ripped apart and gashed by a broken zip line, it would take sometime for it to heal well enough for you to draw lipstick all over your face.


I'm all for it, personally. TLH was a good read

Its a 3 part story, things just won't happen immediately. We have to wait for Bruce to develop before getting the detective, Gordon to work his way up to commissioner, etc etc

Not intentionally I didn't. I got 3 threads going that I'm active in right now and I'm trying to keep up the best that I can

Well I guess but I dont like the penthouse idea

 

[ronzpeed]

He did?

That's two things done in TDK and Batman 3. Ecveryone here calls Gordon a commisioner when he not yet.

 

[Two-Face]

He did?

He did, he wrote a cheque before meeting Rachel.

Oh, ok. Then Selina Kyle actually has a chance of being in the series! happy happy joy joy, joy joy happy happy

Que?

Que?

I guess you didn't read my earlier post

Maybe Selina Kyle will live in the same building and they bump into each other.

 

[Boom]

I'm a bit disappointed by this. I was never keen on the idea of the Manor burning down in the first place.

Unless he drives out to the remains, I don't think we'll be seeing alot of the bat cave.
