Wow. Yeah, I don't know what to say. I really hope it's a Net Rumor.

But then again, keeping an open mind, I'm so fascinated with Nolan's "real world" take on Batman's World I'm kinda interested....kinda.

re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
 

Come on, no way we're going to get Batgirl before Robin, and everyone involved seems to hate the idea of Robin.

re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
 

You're right, that is nuff said. :mad: Now git out!

re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
 

That's how it happened in The Batman. But this wont happen cos Nolan doesn't want Batman to have a Junior partner. That's why there's no Robin and undoubtedly there'll be no Batgirl.

That said, I freely admit I like Miley Cyrus. But I can't really picture her as Barbara Gordon. She's too young. Wasn't Barbara in college when she first dressed up as Batgirl?

re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
 

Aren't all these silly rumours a bit early? Has Nolan even started working on the movie? Isn't he busy with Inception?

re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
 

Nolan HAS NOT started to write the script, nor has he even signed on to the next Batman film. WB just said that right now nothings going on with the franchise, any rumors you hear until the script is completed are all bull shit.

re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
 

And yet there's all this talk about them like there's the remote chance of these being true, no matter how stupid (Miley Cyrus, Eddie Murphy) sound.

re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
 

Fixed.

:lol:

re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
 

If Nolan brings in Catwoman, he'll probably present her as The Cat. That was the original iteration of Catwoman and it'd fit with Nolan's "real world" aesthetic with these films.

re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
 

Somebody mentioned Michael Shannon earlier. I wouldnt mind seeing him take on the role of the Joker if they decided to put the Joker in the 3rd movie.

re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
 

They won't. After hearing how hard Heath Ledger's loss was for Nolan, I don't think he would be capable of recasting the role.

re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
 

:lol: Ah, I was thinking of all the TAS villains and was trying to think of one villain we haven't seen in the movies that would be good.
Anyone remember Red Claw?

Would be fun to watch a woman kick Batman around.
Or the ninja? Who says we can't have another ninja?

Or what about Ra's al Ghul's daughter Talia?

re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
 

What about Harley Quinn?

re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
 

Doesn't seem like Harley Quinn would work too well without The Joker. Had Heath lived I imagine we could have had some great scenes of The Joker twisting Harley's mind until she snaps and becomes a villain.

re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
 

I really dislike Harley Quinn but I think it would've been pretty cool seeing her in the Nolan universe. I could see what you described.

I love how there's all this anticipation, but there isn't even a guarantee Nolan's going to pump out a third film, is there? I mean ideally yes - but what if Nolan's burnt out?

I would think at this point the earliest we'll get a film is either 2012 or 2013. I think that 3-year window between Begins and TDK was a one-shot deal since in order for Nolan to give a treatment to a third film it's going to take a lot of time. There isn't even a script yet.

re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
 

Nolan needs to come back, if only to break the streak of directors doing two Batman films. ;)

re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
 

I know she's not real, but I don't think any actress can be as hot as Harley in the Arkham Asylum video game :drool:

re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
 

I agree having Harley Quinn w/o Joker is pointless. I wouldn't mind seeing some of the lesser known villains. I think the best villain would be Bane if they could do it right, but I think that would be terribly challenging.

re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
 

Yeah, Joker and Harley Quinn or just Joker solo. Quinn could not withstand by herself without the Joker, story wise. Her existence is all stemmed from Mr. J. It wouldn't make sense.

re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
 

:eek: She's so lovable on so many levels.

re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
 

If the series lasts long enough I could see someone like The Riddler using a mass Arkham breakout to run Batman through a gauntlet of villains, but I really can't see Bane working in the Nolan Batverse.

re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
 

I was wondering if they would be using the global financial turmoil as a possible backstory for a new film. Something along the lines of what happened to the mobs' money and how Gotham has succumbed to a new industrialist with major influence on the government as well as crime.

re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
 

Make Lex Luthor the next Batman villain. ;)
