No, I'm actually 100% in agreement with you. She's a decent actor, but nothing more (and yes, I have seen Rachel Getting Married). Which is how I felt about Ledger, pre-Dark Knight.

I would have preferred some of the other rumored actors, but I'm not upset or anything over the choice.

No disrespect intended, but you are dead wrong. Sevigny was monotone throughout the whole damn film. I wondered at times if she had a pulse. I think she's a good actress. But she's done much better work. Beckinsale's performance in Nothing But the Truth was better than her quite good performance in Last Days of Disco. It's without question her best work. Snow Angels was a better performance as well.

So to each his own.

These are presented as facts but

shows they cannot be.

I wish I knew who was right!

Actors are usually only as good as the people, roles, and screenplays they're working with. Only a rare few rise above that. It's not just the performance. I don't think she'll do bad there. It's the other stuff like the sexuality and the action sequences, which I've never seen her do. Of course, they'll just CGI her to death. I'd prefer to see as much real as possible.

Doesn't really matter. I think he's dead wrong. Whether that is ultimately provable is in doubt. Then again, there's not much about film that's objective. Two people can see the same movie and come away with vastly different perspectives. Case in point. Besides, people usually present their opinions as facts, because they naturally believe they are right.


Gotta decide for yourself!

They'll CGI her to death, just like they've CGI'ed all the other actors in the last two Batman films?

Damn Nolan and his overuse of CGI and slo-mo action scenes.

I never really noticed it.

It is kind of funny that he picked Snyder to do Superman, given their contrary styles.

Hey, at least he didn't hire Sam Worthington.

No, you misunderstand. Nolan pulled a Lucas in his last two movies and had the actors real heads over CGI bodies. It was really distracting. No way those were Ledger's legs in that nurse's outfit that Suprmallet loves so much.

Yeah but he replaced Morgan Freeman with Shia Labouf.

Are you serious, or just joking? Because I honestly never noticed. Maybe I wasn't looking for it.

Dead serious.

Eh. Not really interested in Bane, would have preferred something like Strange or The Riddler or Black Mask. And it would have been cool to see Rutger Hauer come back in some capacity to bookend the series.

I will pull back the curtain for you. Nolan is known for disliking and avoiding CGI as much as possible, so your suggestion that she would be "CGI'd to death" is highly unlikely. This is the director who insisted on actually flipping a semi-truck on a Chicago street when most other modern directors would have just done it in CGI.

Hauer for what?! To be a Hobo w/ a fucking Shotgun?! He's out and no need for that character.

I'm game for AH for SK. Really interested into how bulked up Hardy will get for Bane. Will he get bigger than Bronson? Choosing Hardy I also think that he'll be the smart Bane we know from the comics and TAS. Loved him in TAS...well..the first time I think..the last time that was all a dream.

Point taken! But Catwoman is a different beast entirely. Of course this all hinges on how much action there will actually be in the film for Catwoman, and if they can get around that the way they did with Michelle Pfeiffer. These films are more realistic, so I don't think it will be a problem.

Nolan hasn't failed me yet.

Yeah, I don't see why they would need Hauer to "bookend" anything. Most people probably forgot who he even was in the first movie.

Geez people, just a suggestion.

exactly. Hell...I don't even remember the character's name that he played.

Yeah, Nolan's all about doing everything practical and on camera as much as possible. He only uses CG for when it's the option needed.

Bane???? Ugh. I hate Bane. I have no problem with Hathaway as Catwoman though..RAWRRRRR

well you suggested wrong!

If Nolan can do justice to Catwoman and Bane in the same movie then he is a god.

Batty. Roy Batty.
