The Dark Knight The James Gordon / Gary Oldman Thread

lol Two and deservedly so IMO.
Forrest Gump is AWFUL. I cannot believe it won the Oscar ahead of Pulp Fiction and The Shawshank Redemption. Unbelievable.
On-topic, Oldman's great, and he should have had an Oscar by now, should have won for his Lee Harvey Oswald.
 
Forrest Gump is "awful" ... umm yeah, you lose aton of points. That movie is one of the best of all-time.
 
Oldman just hasn't been given a big enough role I'd say..

-TNC

It is COMPLETELY overrated. Sentimental, simple drivel. I passionately hate it.
I keep my points.
 
I'd make a good husband Jenaay. *Wipes tear from eye*

:cwink:
:cmad:
I'm not gonna discuss it anymore. I jusy have an irrational hatred of that film.
I need counselling to prevent me going off-topic.
Any sign of Oldman in the scenes today?
 
Don't hurt me.

Nope, but seeing as they're filming the bat signal roof with a helicopter from 9 to 11pm it's a good bet he'll be there. Think this is what was supposed to happen at the weekend, but the weather was crap

I would never hurt you, my friend. Unless you give me reason to.:oldrazz:

Of course, the scene's later on. Would love to see pics of the rooftop trio together.
 
Nice, that he feels so connected to the Gordon character.:up: On a side note i must say that it's strange that he's never been nominated for an Oscar.
really gives a whole lot of confidence in the Academy doesnt it? :whatever:
 
Rewatched Batman Begins, and got the 'oh yea' feeling...i completely forgot all about Gordon being the one comforting Bruce after his parents were killed... Will Gordon find out about Bruce being Batman? how could this affect his relationship with him? theres a jumble of thoughts in my head if he in fact does find out, or even better..figures it out...

by the way..Gary Oldman...fantastic.
 
found by a mod, obviously with an extremely specific, complex search. kinda odd typing in 'Gordon' doesnt help.

i dont want Gordon doing a ton of investigating. maybe a little...but i feel at some point in TDK Gordon should suspect something is going on... maybe in the end he puts everything together... i also feel gordon comforting bruce after his parents death should be more touched on in TDK.
 
I'm hoping that Nolan spends a lot more time exploring the relationship between Batman and Gordon.

Aside from that, Gordon was promoted by the end of the first film. Do you think that Nolan will promote Gordon to Commissioner by the end of this film?

And, in additon to that, will Nolan provide Gordon with his own supporting cast in the form of Bullock, Montoya, Sara Essen, and his family?

Saw him and Nolan in a car filming, that was awesome, since then I have been watching numerous Oldman and Nolan films.
 
I've always loved Gary Oldman. I hope he has more to do in TDK, otherwise it's like having a ferrari and leaving it in the garage.

Advanced Search > Thread Titles Only. it comes up first :cwink:


Gordon's gonna be badder in this one. Running around in SWAT gear, stepping up to Maroni, I reckon he'll also have some firm words for Batman too.
 
I want there to be a scene where oldman steals the tumbler and goes joy riding
 
Considering I found him badass enough in BB, these set reports and plot rumors I've heard find me very optimistic about him in TDK.
 
I'm glad Gary "..but I've been wrong before." Oldman is gonna get a chance to finally embody Gordon to the fullest and not just play comic relief. This is like the most perfect casting in the history of comic book movies. From State of Grace to Romeo is Bleeding dude was one of the greatest to me.
 
I loved the classic Nolan flashback to young Bruce with his father and that heart-hearing device.

I would definitely love to see a flashback in TDK of a similar nature. Involving Gordan and the night Bruce's parents were killed would work perfectly. Oldman was great as Gordan and I definitely want just as much as him in TDK.
 
I want Oldman to cock a shotgun and say "lets kick some ass" if that was in the movie, TDK would be my offical favorite movie.
 
From what I've gathered so far based on details surrounding the film along with Ledger's reported influences behind his Joker portrayal, methinks Gordon could be in for one hell of a 'dark' ride.
Here's why:

1) Ledger himself cited The Killing Joke among the works he drew inspiration from in crafting his vision of The Joker. Fans of the TKJ can clearly remember how Gordon is nearly pushed over the edge here through the machinations of Joker.

2) Gordon is no stranger to the loss of a loved one at the hands of a crazed murderer (i.e., Joker). Let's not forget Sarah Essen-Gordon.

3) In the 7 minute prologue to TDK, reports indicate that a wide-eyed Gordon is seen swinging an axe and ultimately crashing it down on the bat-signal. What could this mean? Resentment toward Batman for helping spawn The Joker and others of his ilk? Mind control of sorts? Who knows? There's a definite story there. Somewhere.

I'm sure I might have left out a reason or two to support my reasoning, but what has been stated above should be more than enough to get you thinking about the probability of Gordon and/or his loved ones being victimized for the sole purpose of driving the former mad.

Of course, it's unlikely that Sarah Essen will be introduced in the film as Gordon's mistress which leads me to believe that Gordon's current wife (portrayed in TDK by Melinda McGraw) just might be a potential target.

Any thoughts? :brucebat:

it is a possibility...though its more likely that his family will be targeted

That's what I'm trying to suggest. Perhaps Gordon will be targeted through his family and that could send him over the edge.
