Re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
Thanks to the family of an actress who turned down a role in the film, we now know who child actress Joey King is playing, which in itself confirms what we've suspected all along about another actress in the film:

That's great parenting. Really nice to see a parent putting their young child's self-view ahead of the paycheck and notoriety.

Doesn't excuse their reveal of a major spoiler. They could've said just as much without saying WHO she was offered to play and it would not have changed a thing. Until now, no one knew who King was cast as.

I didn't say you were excusing anything at all. Their choice was fine but they didn't have to spoil anything beyond bringing up the fact that she was offered a role.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
Bruce ain't dying. I criticize Nolan quite a bit, but even that seems beneath him as it's not as very creative (or edifying) solution to the corner he's painted himself into.
The scene in the trailer with Gordon in the hospital bed talking to Bruce, who is offscreen, suggests to me that at that point in the film there is a logistical, not merely psychological, issue preventing Batman from performing- though I suppose it could be read the other way too.
However there is also a visual component that is telling for what it does and doesn't show- Gordon is being filmed at eye level if the person opposite him were seated. He seems to be conversing with Bruce (who isn't shown) and that to me seems a strong clue that Bruce is likely in a wheel chair at that point in the story. No need to kill the character when crippling him performs the same story function, but with the option of a more positive upbeat ending.
Of course it looks like I called all the Selina stuff wrong. Never expected Nolan to go with a cartoon catsuit, so I could be way off base with all this other stuff.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
All of this talk so far has been about how physically brutal Bane is, but there hasn't been any mention of his intellect. In the comics, Bane is a genius and the complete opposite of Schumacher's retarded Bane. Bane knew that Batman is Bruce Wayne in the comics, and in fact their epic battle took place in the Batcave where Bane ambushed him. I would love to see the Batcave brawl on the big screen.

^ Actually, it took place in Wayne Manor above the Batcave, or started there at least.
The last shot of the first teaser is taken right out of the battle in question.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
your preference kind of goes into that fan fiction type a bit too much for my taste. It'd also be a cliche element w/ that last...the "neat ee"
Disregard whatever supposedly is supposed to be. It's an adaptation. Changes happen in adaptations. While the element of YT is odd if true...I'd have no predetermined criticism of it because...I don't know what it's context in story is.

The teaser showed them fighting in the cave? All I remember is the fight in front of the court house.

The shot from the teaser is a sewer, not the Batcave. It's the same location as this shot:

Re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
That prologue will be leaked in iPhone form any time now, considering it's now 10PM EST so people are watching right now.
That plus a trailer is supposed to be out Friday, so we're in for a lot of official non-paparazzi material to see in a better context now.
