The Dark Knight Update on Ubu's info

[8atman]

Awhile back I had info on this script from my friend who had worked for WB's writing dept. The stuff he passed on to me goes along with what Ubu claims to have gotten.

[Kebab gud]

you suck at spoilertags..

 

[General Vulcun]

Interesting. But since script news from back in '05 is subject to change, I really hope they haven't got rid of the Selina Kyle part.

 

[FaT_tONle]

Catwoman Two face and Penguin for part 3....

 

[itsthebatman]

Keep Joker in part 3 as well. He's Batman's nemesis, he can be in two movies. I love the idea of a continuing villain in movies: Darth Vader, the Osborns in the Spidey movies, Magneto in X-Men. I'd leave Penguin out.

 

[Miranda Fox]

Mmm...

I do like the idea of a Selina introduction. Most definitely. But this was all posted awhile ago...

 

[Darknightnomis]

Cool deal about Selina.

Seems like each movie will have some a clue to who will appear in the next one like in Begins when Batman flips over the card to see the "joker".

 

[jimmy]

This movie will be glorious.

 

[Milkman95]

^Indeed.

Your in the ****ing spoiler forum man. If you dont wanan see spoilers then go to the non spoiler forum and talk about batmans cape or how many super models he got the clap from.

I believe he said that because the spoiler code was there but it didn't create the spoiler effect.

To me that was the best ending to any movie ever, gave me goosebumps because I knew what was to come after seeing that card, and it is so subtle when Batman remarks on the card to Gordon, because he has yet to understand what is coming. Loved it.

Who'd ever thought they could make a simple playing card look so dark and ominous?

 

[explode7]

If Selina is in TDK then Halle Berry should play her.

 

[Infinity9999x]

If Selina is in TDK then Halle Berry should play her.

I hope to god you're joking.

 

[Victarion]

Awe ****. There goes any chance of Talia as a love interest.

 

[LionHeart]

I much rather have Talia than Catwoman. Something different. Imagine Talia coming into the story, she is going to want revenge on Batman and its going to be hard for Bruce to stop her when he understands what she is going through, he will feel guilty for doing to her what was done to him, though to be fair at least she got to grow up with her father while he didn't. And it would be interesting if Talia doesn't know Batman's identity but strikes up a romantic relationship with Bruce and falls in love with him. Would she be willing to kill him? Would he be willing to stop her or let her go free?

Such irony. Could set that up for Bat 3 I suppose.

 

[raybia]

I have said it before and I'll say it again.

I support a Bruce/Selina and Batman/Catwoman film as long as its modeled after Hitchcock's To Catch a Thief."

Make this film a romantic thriller and a one shot movie after Nolan's trilogy is completed.

Selina chould be an apparent socialite that comes to/back to Gotham, who attends the parties and balls of the rich in order to case them.

Bruce meets Selina when she attends one of his. It would be cool to see Catwoman coming back later that night to rob Bruce blind.

Maybe after coming up from the cave, Bruce walks in on Catwoman where a battle ensues and she escapes.

Of course, Catwoman shouldn't be the main villian or even portrayed as a villian but more of an anti-hero and put her and Batman in a situation where they have to team up against the true agtagonist.

This main agtagonist, could be Black Mask, who Selina puts the movies on in his Roman Sionis identity creating a love triangle. Of course she gets more than she bargain for when she unwittenly gets wrapped up in his scheme for Gotham.

 

[DieSmiling]

If the Selina stuff is true, it pretty much cements that Rachel Dawes gets offed in part 2, right? I mean, not guaranteed, but most likely...

I like the idea. Totally different tack. God, Batman is so open to different interpreations, isn't he?

That's a gret idea. Although I say, incorporate the Catwoman/Roman stuff from Year One, Long Halloween and Dark Victory, rather than having Black Mask. Bruce and Selina can meet at one of the Roman's parties (they could also meet at one of Bruce's parties before or after this) and become involved, and later Bruce will discover she's the Catwoman he earlier met at an encounter at the Roman's house in Year One. Eventually the connection between Falcone and Selina would be revealed. Holly, a very important character in the Catwoman story, would also have a role - she's almost her Robin. And then you may as well include Dick Grayson to contrast against this.

THEN, after Catwoman is actually established in a film as a villain (or rather, an in-it for herself anti-hero), you can spin her off into her own films and chart her evolution from selfish thief to an actual heroine. And Darwyn Cooke's Selina's Big Score would make a great film for one of the films in that series - a hip sexy heist movie - and then do stuff based on Brubaker's solo Catwoman series.

I loved the silent short film "Chase Me" which was on the Batwoman movie DVD a few years ago. That's the kind of vibe I'd like to see on film with Batman and Catwoman.

 

[lujho]

Also, "Chase Me" is on youtube:

so check it out if you haven't seen it before. It's nice to see something a bit different than the regular BTAS stuff. I'd love to see more "silent" shorts.

I like that much better. I would love to see Holly but I would rather if Grayson was dealt with separately.

Unfortuntely, I don't think there is a chance of fixing the tragedy that was Catwoman with Berry. But its a good idea. Maybe a mini-series on HBO instead?

Never saw it. I'll have to rent it.
