[Movie] The Dark Knight (Batman Begins Sequel)

It's hard to know if Nicholson is being serious with that quote... he is known for being pretty dry. If he was serious, I guess he didn't bother watching Batman Begins and doesn't understand it was a reboot of the franchise. It's not like Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer or even Adam West (LOL) are angry that Christian Bale didn't ask them for advice.

Totally agree. I'm actually looking forward to it, especially if Bruce Timm is involved. I just wish they could bring Kevin Conroy back in to do Batman's voice... however, it probably won't happen since the anime is completely separate from the DC animated universe.

Edit: Changed the text on the poster to make fun of Jack Nicholson's recent statement.

Awesome. It's a great poster.

I changed the text, though.

Ah, didn't catch that before. Either way, yes, disgustingly good poster!

Indeed. I'm using it as my wallpaper right now. =)

Did you guys know that Two-Face is in this movie? Look at the casting list, Harvey Dent. He was played by Tommy Lee-Jones in Batman Forever.

Maybe Two-Face is the next villain in the sequel?

I read an article somewhere (trying to find source) saying to watch him throughout the movie, because this is the only chance we'll have to see him as a person, and Nolan put a lot of time into developing the character.

It's likely he'll be the next villain, and I'm glad he's being developed in advance! Viral marketing FTW here!

I heard rumours about the next sequel will be Batman vs Superman. Any thoughts about it? It was also an advertisment in the movie "I AM LEGEND" with Will Smith.

Maybe if Christopher Nolan was a dickless fag with no pride, love, or respect for the series. Luckily he's not, so there's nothing to worry about.

The concept of a Batman/Superman film has been kicked out a lot in the past few years, but I don't think any of them have ever gotten past the drawing board stages.

Justice League, however...

On February 22, 2007, Warner Bros. hired Kieran Mulroney and Michelle Mulroney to write a treatment for a potential Justice League movie. No announcement was made on the characters, actors, or crew involved. They handed in their script by June that year. In September, word broke that Warner Brothers, happy with Mulroney's script, was moving ahead on the project and George Miller was announced as the director. The film features Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Green Lantern, Aquaman and the Martian Manhunter. Warner Bros. has put their Justice League plans at a higher priority than a proposed sequel to Superman Returns.

In October, 2007, Miller announced auditions for the leading roles in the film, indicating that he had no interest in established actors for the parts, as he was "looking for actors who can grow into their super-roles". The film is currently slated for a 2009 release date.

In November, 2007, entertainment websites reported that Australian supermodel Megan Gale had been chosen to play Wonder Woman. In December, 2007 it was reported that Adam Brody had signed to play The Flash and relatively unknown actor Armie Hammer is to play Batman. However as of January 2008, no official casting announcement had yet been made by Warner Bros.

In January, 2008, The Dominion Post in Wellington, New Zealand reported that Weta Workshop has been selected to design costumes for the movie, including Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and The Flash.

So a JL movie is in early production, and will probably have little to do with Batman Begins or Superman Returns aside from the characters involved. Warner Bros. says it'll take precedence over a Superman Returns sequel, which was also rumored to be considered. Nothing too concrete yet, but it seems to be going along on schedule.

Awesome! I was wondering when they were going to release Batman Begins on Blu-ray. ( Was this planned before the downfall of HD-DVD? )
I wish they'd release all this a lot sooner than a little over a week before The Dark Knight comes out.

Leaked Two-Face pic!

Spoiler:

Man this is gonna be one effed up PG-13 film.

That looks fake to me. Partly because of the graininess, but mostly because that looks like CGI and not makeup, and they're not going to just CGI half the man's face.

The pics's originally from CRB.com, a pretty respected and in the know site (they have some decent inside sources, though most of their best breaks have been about Batman comics, ie the skinny on Bruce Wayne's departure from the roll of Batman months before the Batman R.I.P. arc was announced).

Obviously, we'll see what happens. It could be a concept design, it could be a fan manip.

Hmm, I'm voting "fake" as well. Seems too gruesome to me... Of course, I am used to the Animated Series version with the blue face, white hair & yellow eye. LOL. And the original picture of Eckhart would have turn to up in order to debunk it (like the fake Joker picture that was circulating around, everyone thought it was the real thing).

Well that might be it considering as in a recent article Eckhart was saying how gruesome and disgusting the Two-Face look will be and how shocked people will be when they see it.

""I can tell you that, basically, when you look at Two-Face, you should get sick to your stomach. Being the guy under all that, well, that was a lot of fun for me. It's like you would feel if you met someone whose face had pretty much been ripped off or burned off with acid. I can't talk about it beyond that because I don't want to give away too much of the plans by Chris."
