Haha, that is too cool. Definitely saving that.

 

[Anno_Domini]

Yes.

along with this too:

I love how he's known as THE Batman in Nolan's trilogy.

I thought they became more proactive? Nolan mentioned something about Gotham becoming more of a 'police state' if I recall. Though to be fair that element was hardly explored in the actual movie.

I don't remember Chris ever mentioning a "police state", but the GCPD were definitely very proactive in cleaning up Gotham City, solely because of the Dent Act.

Who dressed and undressed Wayne, on his way to, the pit? Would have been better to throw him in, there in his batsuit with the broken mask.

Who dressed and undressed Bruce? Some lucky bastard

Liam Neeson, Cillian Murphy, Heath Ledger, Aaron Eckart, Tom Hardy, Anne Hathaway...this trilogy has had amazing actors and I love how we've been seeing guys like Eckhart and Hardy playing on the roles they were from this picture of Aaron holding a Two-Face toy and then that previous picture of Tom with a kid wearing the Bane costume.

Same here.

 

[Panthro]

That's just

 

[Tacit Ronin]

lol someone should put a compilation of all the terrible moments from the TDKR red carpet.

What happened? What was so disastrous?

 

[Two-Face]

Did see it? or someone gave to him? Either way I love it. He was amazing as Harvey Dent/Two-Face.

 

[James.B]

In that interview with IGN Aaron says he didn't see TDKR. I wonder why he's avoiding it?

 

[Two-Face]

Well, he's an actor so he must been busy with work.

I'm sure he'll see it.

 

[Tacit Ronin]

He has no interest? Not every cast member does franchise films they are a fan of.

 

[James.B]

He just said no when asked if he saw the last one. But he was proud of TDK and enjoyed working on it so maybe its just because he has been busy with work.

Watch this and keep painkillers nearby.

No idea. It's probably the IGN offices where he did the interview and one of them asked him to pose with a Two Face toy.

I know I've mentioned this a few times these past couple months but I had to share.

Remember the premiere stream? I randomly came upon one for The Great Gatsby currently going on. The guy from TDKR premiere stream last summer is there but he has a new partner. I guess the gal from TDKR wasn't invited back.

Thank god they got spared. The TDKR cast wasn't unfortunately.

Sexhart!

 

[The_Raganork]

This is still going? wow!

 

[The Joker]

Wow it's Rag.

Welcome back

 

[Anno_Domini]

Anyone here read the novelization for TDKR? What's different on that that's not on the film?

You know... It's sitting on my shelf looking at me.

I must get around to it.

 

[Anno_Domini]

You should!

And let me know what's different in that then what's in the film

 

[BatLobster]

I've read most of it and it really is very close to the movie. Just little added bits of insight to the characters here and there, but nothing that really makes you see the film in a different light.

 

[regwec]

I have never quite understood the point in 'novelisations'. Not judging, just don't get it.

 

[The Joker]

So I go and pick up the latest issue of Detective Comics today, I'm reading through it and look what Batman is driving in it:

 

[regwec]

Wow, the new 52 blows.

 

[The Joker]

reg, do you really begrudge the Tumbler appearing in the comics?

 

[regwec]

No, I just think the temptation to blur the intellectual property into one overarching 'franchise' stifles creativity in the pursuit of uniformity. Comics tell superior stories to the movies which derive from them, in my opinion, because they are unencumbered by the need to safely manage huge budgets and vast international audiences. They can be inventive and take risks. If the comics ape the movies, then they are being derivative of something derivative.

I'm just not interested in that.

I understand, but it's not as though they're doing things like introducing Rachel Dawes as a prominent character, or making Fox the Q of Batman's life etc. These things like Tumbler, the Narrows, the Bat Bunker decor etc are minor little things.

It's not as though you read these stories and feel like you're watching a carbon copy of a Nolan Batman movie.

Marvel often do the same thing. They take little things like that from various movies. Since Spider-Man is my forte, several times Doc Ock had the trenchcoat look and red lights in his tentacle claws ala Alfred Molina in Spider-Man 2. Sandman got a daughter like in Spider-Man 3.
