The Dark Knight Should Batman's Identity Be Revealed In This Movie?

[DrawingBlanks]

I have no problem with Lucius knowing Batman's identity, but that's about it.

Ditto. Rachel must die .

I think the right amount of people know who Batman is. Lucious and Alfred obviously need to know because they are his source for his alter egos. Lucious provides him witht he ability to become his "symbol," Alfred there to aid him in his difficult journey of being two men. Racheal simply asked him who he was if he was dead by the end of the night, so he let her know not only who he was, but who he was truthfully inside.

Now, if the whole situation turns to "newsflash! we think we know Batman!" that could be interesting, but the whole "Should I expose myself as who I really am?" crap should stay far, far away from this so-far-so-great franchise.

Look, remember that behind-the-scenes we got, I remember one part specifically..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNnHBbH0jEg&feature=related
0:12-0:19 sec. into it.





Somebody knows,unless he's masking his voice which could be a possibility...or it's the same person on the other-line in the trailer when Bats is on the rooftop with his hand to his ear/cowl?

Didn't he design the suit also?

he was talking to morgan freeman

I would like to see Batman toy with telling Dent, as he did in the comics, but not do so in the end. Enough people know, but I don't mind hints that Gordon may know, or that The Joker might. It shouldn't be clearly evident though. Anyone outside of that finding out will just feel "forced".

We're all very protective over the characters, and want to see them accurately portrayed in these films, but what if Nolan took the plot in a strange direction, altering the entire course of the series?

I'm just thinking about how relatively by-the-numbers these movies can be where, with the exception of supporting character deaths, very little changes from movie to movie. The filmmakers are kind of bound by the confines of what has come before, in the comics.

What I specifically had in mind was, what if Nolan outed Batman? What if TDK ended with Bruce's identity being exposed to the entire world? No dream sequence, no going back - the entire third movie (and beyond, barring a reboot) would feature an alter-egoless Batman.

It's something that isn't part of the character's classic arc (like Iron Man, and now Spider-Man), but does that matter?

Is it okay for a filmmaker to treat these films as a big "what if?" scenario?

 

[Gotham]

At this point, it'd be a copy of Iron Man, wouldn't it?

 

[ActuallyRobin]

Doubt any of those things would happen

 

[sclabguy]

i bet it'll come close by no cigar

 

[Bunker]

I hope that he just sticks to the original story line, which I think he will, it's worked out pretty well so far.

agreed

 

[Nous]

About that....

No.

 

[Stotch]

Well he already did the "what if" by putting Batman in a realistic world. As far as changing it to the extend you mentioned, I personally hope not.

 

[turtlefocker]

how bout no, scott.

Batman's identity being revealed to the public should never ever be apart of the mythos. Be it in animation, comics, or movies. It just does not work for the character, in the long-run. I can see it as a "the last story of Batman" type of thing.

Now if they do something like Batman:Fugitive/Murderer, that'd be an interesting way to take the franchise. It's something that transcends the genre.

 

[Anjow1060]

Actually, Iron Man didn't "deviate" from the comics. That final moment was inspired by Civil War.

As far as all this goes, that's why Nolan is smart is creating a world with so many characters. People complain about how many roles there are, but it's genius. Why?

Because people can be off'd. Loeb, Falcone, Maroni, Garcia, Watanabe Ras, Engel etc etc.

You always know the damsel in distress won't be off'd. BUT, in this case, Nolan has no obligation to that. He created his own character that he can determine the fate of himself. It's pure genius.

With people getting killed and such throughout the movie, you really start to worry who else is next. I remember watching the end of Begins for the first time and wondering if Batman was really going to save the city.

Nolan knows what he's doing. If he has to break a couple comic book rules to make the movies exciting, then so be it. As long as it isn't durastic.

C'mon now. That entire third act followed the typical comic book film formula down to a T.

Should Batman's Identity Be Revealed In This Movie?

**** no.

 

[Starbird]

I don't think Baman's Identity should be revealed..


Nevah!

 

[Why Are You Crouching Spock?]

No.

 

[Rikxiepoo]

Anyways...

This is a valid thread but the answer is obvious: No.
Being curious to see how they handle the public now knowing who Iron Man is in "Iron Man 2" is enough.

War Machine much?

 

[yankee]

useless romantic angles and villains and women knowing Batman's identity and other superhero identities are so predictable. Time to retire that lame plot device.

 

[bunk]

I'm just not the hero type, clearly.

 

[BatSpider]

I'm just not the hero type, clearly.

That would be a really funny line

What if that WAS WB's intention and Iron Man stole it/ both want to do the same thing?
