The Dark Knight What are your biggest Dark Knight Fears?

[antmanx68]

Where did you get that Avay?

if you're talking about mine, its from one of the 300 production blogs... its Gerard Butler as Leonidas.

 

[Duneboy]

Monica Belucci as Wonderwoman

 

[7Hells]

^ She would be great but a little old.
Connelly is pushing it at her age thats why i said depending on how soon they get it going.
Monica is about 6 years older than Jennifer.

I fear that Nolan might come to this boards and read that is ok to bring robin, change the costume, get Danny Elfman, a new batmobile, a new Gotham or anything that is not BEGINS concept. And some people saying Batforever is good. I say keep in line with EVERYTHING from Begins and we are set for something special. We had 4 films with everything that should NOT be in a modern Batman flick. I trust them. They brought back pride in being a Batman fan in these Spiderman's days! So we should really trust them! I know I do.

???

Why did they keep the black rubber costume then? or the cape-glider, or the gauntlets or the models for Gotham or the dark mood or the bats attcking people? I think some things were good.

Other than that, I agree with what you say about trusting the people in charge.

The only thing you're right about here is the black rubber costume. None of the films used the cape-glider in the way Begins did (sure, we saw SOME of it in Batman Returns but it didn't invent the idea). The gauntlets were totally different from the other films, as was the model of Gotham. The dark mood? It's because of the comics, not the Burton films. Bats attacking people? Lifted straight from Year One.

The Burton films are great, but they were hardly as influential in the making of Begins as you're making them out to be.

The cape-glider was in BR as you say. Of course, BB wasn't a BR remake and it had a different treatment, but the idea was already on screen. I don't know if it was used sometime in the comics; what I have seen is a bat-glider there, not the bat-cape that turns into a glider; different thing.

The gauntlets were totally different from the other films,

Gauntlets were nowhere until Burton's B89. Yes, the design was different, it would have been too much to keep the exact same design. But the gauntlets appeared in Batman's life back in 1989.

as was the model of Gotham. The dark mood? It's because of the comics, not the Burton films. Bats attacking people? Lifted straight from Year One.

Of course, but you said that the previous 4 films has "everything that should NOT be in a modern Batman flick" and, as you see, Nolan decide to re-use several of those elements, no matter if he was influenced by Burton or by the comics. Those elements ARE in the modern Batman flicks.

The point is the previous movies had many good things that are there until today. This doesn't make the Nolan movie any less good than it is. On the contrary, he was able to recover the good elements out from the previous versions, good for him, good for us.

Forget Wonder Woman. let's see a Nova film made or since we're on the topic of DC. How 'bout Deadman or The Demon?

 

[The Sage]

My greatest fears:

1. That the movie will become too real and lose the fantasy elements.

2. The Joker won't be flamboyant and won't have any of his toys.

3. That the lighting will be even brighter than BB.

4. The Joker will be a silent killer.

5. Harvey won't already have his two-sided coin.

6. The Joker will look like The Crow.

 

[Immortalfire]

That "The Dark Knight" still stick as the title.

I don't recall ever saying that.

1. I don't a worry about that. With a guy like Nolan, he's smart enough not to pull a Bryan Singer and isolate the fanbase, even if fanboys can be dumb sometimes.

3. I think that the lighting should be harsher by using hard light. It's more dymatic that way. For example, a movie that has good hard light cinematography is Spider-Man 2. Even Million Dollar Baby.

Crap. haha. Well, it was said and that was the only point I was trying to refute.

 

[kenellard]

I'm not going to pertend that action isn't important to me (not that anybody is pretending) but Batman was never a character that you would expect to have huge Spider-Man/Superman fights.

Now that I got that out of the way.

I fear that the action/fight scenes will be as lame as they were in the first film.

I fear Bale's awful Bat-voice will stay the same.

I fear the return of lame ole Katie Holmes.

I fear the Joker will be turned lame by the extreme realism angle and won't be the Joker, but just a "crazy guy".

I fear the movie will look just as visually uninteresting as the first.

I fear the movie will fall apart in it's second half, like the first one.

Okay, thats it for me!

I agree entirely with this post, worst thing is though, judging by begins and the direction the franchise is going, this could become a reality

 

[Beelze]

That they will forget Ra's al Ghul.
That they will forget Rachel Dawes.
That they will forget Martha Wayne, again.

Bruce should've payed more homage to his mother in the first film.
Rachel Dawes shouldn't just disappear. I wish she had never been though.
The entire movie shouldn't pass without Ra's being mentioned at least once.

I thought Nolan had already mentioned that TDK will be DARKER movie than BB

Yeah, that would really suck

Damn the fanbase.

I'm just concerned that the fun and fantasy elements won't be in the film for whatever reason.

I'll try to do the seven points too.

1. Joker casting will turn out to have been a huge mistake.
2. Two Face casting taking the same path with some young guy.
3. The Joker not looking like the Joker (white face, freakish smile, green hair; some purple suits).
4. Batmobile will still be unintentionally funny (Batman shouldn't get in the floorboard).
5. The Batsuit will still look overworked, it doesn't actually look like real armor, and I'd rather see Batman with a cloth-like suit.
6. Bruce Wayne will have another relationship with a woman that doesn't continue in the next film.
7. Batman will still have the laughable porn voice.

Cloth would not work in the movies very well and it does look like armor. Oh and the voice sounds nothing like a porn voice maybe if you were smoking crack the first time you watched it but to us normal people that is not what it sounded like.

Well, you really should read what Ledger is saying about Joker as a character.

I thought batsuit looked cool in BB, but yeah, I'd like to see some changes.

Don't worry, Holmes comes back for sequel.

I thought Bale's voice was normal in BB.

 

[deathfromabove]

im like matt murdock about this movie

 

[Eros]

my only fear for the Dark knight, is that chris Nolan becomes to ingulfed in his idea[realism,crime] of Batman world, and the movie turns into Batman returns again:The Nolan cut.

Well, BR wasn't actuallyrealistic. It was just very dark movie.

Besides, Nolan isn't Burton.

 

[Poetic Chaos]

One of my fears is that Joker won't have a laugh worthy of the character.

 

[Saint]

I don't get these assumptions that the Joker will be ruined by Nolan. Was the Scarecrow ruined? Zsasz? Ra's Al Ghul?
