See? That's a valid topic. ;)

There was just a story up at Comic Book Resources about Marion Cotillard at Talia and Joseph Gordan Levitt as The Black Mask, but it very quickly disappeared. Similar stories also sprouted up at other sites around the same time, and are still up.

It apparently stems from a fake press release, and all the bloggers jumped to act.

Just to comment on Nolan's Batman girls; he hasn't really had a great female role for any character in any of his films. Critics tore apart Johansson's role in The Prestige but it wasn't her fault. The part could have been played by any actress. I suppose Rebecca Hall did do a little better with her altogether forgettable role. Were there any women even in Insomnia? The only memorable female performance that comes to mind when you think of Christopher Nolan's body of work is Carrie Ann Moss in Memento. And even that's more likely because the film is so great.

Perhaps when it comes to strong female roles Nolan suffers like Kubrick in that aspect. But if that's the case then rock on Nolan. :up:

:up: She's memorable, but I too think it's a byproduct of the film and not the performance itself.

Maura Tierney was also in Insomnia.

I thought Hillary Swank was the best part of Insomnia. Odd that the only cast member from that film Nolan ever reused was Nicky Katt. :lol:

Of course, but I pointed out Swank because she was one of the stars of the film, in it and involved from beginning to end.

Just pointing out that there was more than one woman and she matches Rebecca Hall's role in the Prestige as a supporting female character.

Wow. I can't believe I totally forgot about her. I did remember Maura Tierney but thought it was so small not worth mentioning. Nice blog article.

I don't remember critics 'tearing' Johansson apart but, yes, they did say it was a wasted role. I just went through many top critics reviews over at RT and many just mention her and Hall in passing.

He does need to work on his female characters and I think that's something many people can agree on.

I want to punch that interviewer in the face.

Although it doesn't seem all that revelatory now that it's 'confirmed', but Anne Hathaway referred to her character as 'Catwoman' on a post-Oscar interview with Oprah.

I look forward to seeing the ads saying 'Academy Award winner Christian Bale is Batman.' So now both Batman and the late Joker have Oscars!

That makes two Batmen who have Oscars then -- Clooney and Bale.
Poor Chris O'Donnell.

Poor Val Kilmer or Michael Keaton would be more accurate.

Personally, I believe Adam West was robbed.

Rumors about the plot courtesy of: http://www.badassdigest.com/2011/03/...major-spoilers

Spoiler:
"I just talked to a good source near the Batcamp and have come away with information about The Dark Knight Rises that confirms lots of speculation from recent months. This is, technically, all spoilers. I feel pretty confident that this info is good, but know that Christopher Nolan has gotten very, very skilled at manipulating us nerds and isn’t above throwing out some misinformation from time to time.

Here goes nothing:

As she herself confirmed, Anne Hathaway will be Catwoman in the movie. I can’t tell you what role she has in the beginning, but by the end of the story Catwoman isn’t a villain but rather an ally of Batman. And who are they teaming up to take out?

The League of Shadows.

Headed by Talia Al’Ghul. With Bane, who is her muscle/possible love interest. And with Joseph Gordon-Levitt in tow. Is he playing Black Mask? My source didn’t know, but did know that Levitt is certainly an antagonist and involved with the League of Shadows.

I trust this source quite a bit, but again remember that there are rumors being fed out by the Batcamp that are purposefully untrue. And that there are people within the camp who have partial information – including my source here, who only knows some things and can only guess at others."

I got goosebumps reading that.

re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
 
IF that is true...Nolan's really going all out w/ it. I'm excited and intimidated at how huge this can get. I can't wait to see the kind of stunt work employed and how Gotham will be in danger from it. As much as I love his superior NON Batman films, I'm excited by the level of entertainment that comes from them.
