QuoteEXCLUSIVE: While Tom Hardy's plan to play Mad Max in the George Miller-directed Mad Max: Fury Road has hit another delay, the fast-rising Hardy's in the mix for another big film at Warner Bros. I'm told that Hardy has been set by his Inception director Chris Nolan for a lead role in the next Batman film at Warner Bros. Insiders are keeping the role secret and won't even say if he's up for a villain role, but that seems a reasonable assumption. Hardy has followed up Inception with lead roles in the Tomas Alfredson-directed  adaptation of the John Le Carre novel Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, and he's currently starring with Chris Pine and Reese Witherspoon in the McG-directed Fox comedy This Means War. CAA reps Hardy, who's expected to return to Fury Road when it goes.

I'm glad Tom Hardy is gaining popularity, because he has been awesome in every role I've seen him in. I'm sure he will be amazing in the new Batman as well.

Yeah I'm excited about this. Ever since Bronson I've been amazed by him.

I think he'd be a good Black Mask:

Let's not forget he was also great in RocknRolla before Bronson.

They're saying nothing about him being Batman, just about him having a lead role.  If Nolan's directing the next Batman I'm not sure he'll switch out Christian Bale.  He already pulled that stunt once with Kate Katie Holmes and Maggie Gyllenhaal.

I am very excited to hear this news.  Dude was baller as fuck in Inception.

GOOD LORD. D=

I overheard some dummies in class today saying that he's going to be the new batman. I highly doubt it, but if he were to replace Bale, would you mind? I sure as hell wouldn't.

Quote from: Zen Micro Clock;1788636I overheard some dummies in class today saying that he's going to be the new batman. I highly doubt it, but if he were to replace Bale, would you mind? I sure as hell wouldn't.

Nah, he's a lot more like Batman than Christian Bale is. Batman/Bruce needs to have an apparent calculating intelligence - Christian Bale just comes across as being kind of stupid. There's no way he'll give up the role though, he loves feeling important.

I'm hoping they go with a Bane story and make him the scheming genius he's supposed to be instead of just assuming he's an idiot because he's big. Getting Catwoman involved makes the most sense at this point though.

I had someone tell me he might be the Riddler.  I wouldn't mind that.

Everyone has been saying the new Batman will have Riddler, I think it would be funny if it didn't have Riddler at all. Bane would be cool.

Bane would be pretty awesome.

Wouldn't be surprised if the third movie is the end to the Nolan batman trilogy. Would make sense to base it on Knightfall staring Bane.

specially this part:
"The story takes place over approximately six months. Bruce Wayne (Batman) suffers burnout and is systematically assaulted and crippled by a "super steroid"-enhanced genius named Bane"

snrk.

yeah I too would not be surprised if the third movie was the end to a trilogy :]

Everyone just says it's the Riddler because he's the only other Batman villain they know besides the silly ones. I'm pretty sure it's been confirmed that this is the last Nolan Batman too. He didn't really even want to do this one for a while.

It would certainly be amazing to see the famous breaking the bat moment in full live action glory

I don't know about knightfall.
long halloween had a sequel.
I wouldn't be surprised if batman 3 was largely the bits of dark victory they didn't already put into dark knight- probably not the serial killer, since they skipped that sizeable bit in long halloween, too, but the arkham breakout, batman blaming himself for what happened with dent and becoming even more of an asshole loner, maybe some of the mob stuff from long halloween... there's a lot to work with.
I think introducing another rogue element would feel like a bit of a retread. with two-face dead, and the joker... unable to attend (and, really, their two-part act about chance, corruptibility, and faith having closed its curtains pretty soundly when deebo threw the bomb controller out the window, batman took the fall for harvey, and alfred burned rachel's note) it kind of seems like batman's problem isn't freaks anymore.
the city thinks he's a killer (not entirely unlike what happened with jean paul valley in knightfall, tbqh), and most of his allies can't stand beside him- dawes is dead, dent is dead, gordon has to lead a manhunt against him, and lucius fox was threatening to resign. not to mention Mysteries knows his identity, and hasn't been given any reason to believe he didn't murder harvey dent in cold blood after rampaging on maroni and his men.
the villain, if there is one, is probably going to be somebody that jonathan and christopher nolan can fit into those themes (and how they mesh with batman's quest to rid gotham of its criminal element) to create a satisfying conclusion to the trilogy. my gut instinct would honestly be the penguin (it's kind of a shame r'as was wasted in begins, because he'd be my go-to rogue to follow an act like the joker and two-face), but I'm not the creative genius behind dark knight and the prestige.

I'm pretty sure I've read somewhere that when they pitched the idea to Warner they pitched it as a 3 movie deal so if he didn't want to make a third one maybe he shouldn't have told them he wanted to make 3!

I think you're right but they don't like the Penguin so we can be pretty sure it won't be him. I think whatever they do as a primary villain story, Catwoman would be a smart move for a subplot. With Bruce in such an unstable position, he's going to be considering either retiring Batman or becoming him permanently. In Dark Knight he was feeling as though he may be able to give up being Batman soon but now with the guy he hoped to replace him as a symbol for justice dead and no one else left to support him besides Alfred the idea of just giving up his normal life is going to be tempting. A Catwoman story would be perfect, she can act as a temptress, giving him a reason to leave his old life for good, while also acting as a warning, showing what the freedom that comes with this new life can lead to. I'd be really interested to see Nolan's take on Catwoman. I'd like to see a version where she's just sneaky and can't really hold her own against Batman in a fight so he doesn't want to hit her out of guilt more than anything. Put a whole domestic abuse spin on it. Nolan would love that.

Honestly, he's also the most possible in the real world one left other than Catwoman as far as major Batman villains go.
Bane is somewhat realistic, at least more so than the likes of Killer Croc or Clayface, but the full extent of his strength is still usually taken to superhuman extents in most iterations I've seen.

Well there's people like Hugo Strange, Black Mask, Firefly, Deadshot, Mad Hatter, Zsaz and The Ventrioloquist but they're not as well known. If it wasn't most likely going to be the last episode in a trilogy I'd like to see them do the Ventriloquist. He's really interesting but doesn't have enough of a connection to make it a final story.

And yeah you could pull off Bane as long as you just made him a big guy who's trained himself to peak form like Bruce has but has an edge on him because he takes some pretty powerful steroids. He doesn't need to be a giant, just a big guy. Hardy could do a good job he got pretty super buff for Bronson.

Ooh!

Zsasz was already in Batman Begins.

I think The Ventriloquist would be really interesting, certainly a challenge to do in a serious way but if done correctly could be very cool. Supposedly he was going to be in the third Schumacher film before Batman & Robin tanked. He'd certainly be easier to slide seamlessly into that world than Nolan's.

I definitely think Black Mask has potential. It's got a lot of the psychological elements and the ideas of the vapid high society over the corruption of Gotham that Nolan would be attracted to. Also, his look in the picture I posted looks seriously like Tom Hardy's character in Inception, just wearing a mask. I can see 2 problems with using him though, 1) Black Mask growing up to hate and resent Bruce Wayne is quite similar to Mickey Rourke's Whiplash character in Iron Man 2, so it might come off as a bit done. 2) It can sometimes feel like a cheat when a character is introduced in a sequel as someone who knew the lead well during childhood or earlier in life but has never been mentioned before.

Catwoman certainly makes sense, Rachel's dead, Bruce is distraught and vulnerable. She would fit in well but with her being in Batman Returns and that Halle Berry movie existing, as well as her never being a really strong character presence, she really couldn't be the central villain or plot.

Riddler would definitely be very interesting if done well. Toying with Batman, leading him around, red herrings and the like. I'd like to see how Nolan handled him.

It's a very tricky call, Joker and Two Face were very obvious choices. Their strength and their ease of fit were perfect. Not to mention their fame in and outside of Batman circles. I'm really looking forward to seeing who we get!

I'd also like to see Scarecrow return again. That's lots of fun!

http://herocomplex.latimes.com/2010/10/27/christopher-nolan-reveals-title-of-third-batman-film-and-that-it-wont-be-the-riddler/

So it's called The Dark Knight Rises

and there's no Riddler

ooooooooh

I hope its Clayface! I love realistic gritty villains!

The Dark Knight Returns will be about Batman's crippling Viagra addiction

If Riddler's out and he's gonna go with the kind of story that seems most likely I reckon Bane's the best bet. There's a good chance he'll do something completely different though.

I really hope Nolan isn't too worried about people's current perceptions of the characters and does Cat Woman. She's kind of the only remaining villain who has a really significant tie to Batman and I'd like to see her dealt with by a good writer instead of just made into nerd porn.

If Nolan has the balls to say no to the studios when it comes to 3D I trust him to have the balls to say no to the fans.

well, I was Expecting something more of a c-lister like Prometheus, something of an anti-Batman, but again sounds overdone now that the Iron Man Franchise does it every time

if he doesn't break batman's back, or at least injure it in a plot relevant way i'm gonna be a little bummed out. i'm curious to see how they're going to portrait him in the movie.

He's more than likely going to be a villain. Bale said he didn't want to have anything to do with Robin and Dick Grayson was young when he took up his suit. I'm hoping he gets cast as Deathstroke, Black Mask, or Deadshot.

Now theres also a rumor floating that Robin Williams could be Hugo Strange as well.

I think they're still going to have a lot more villains. They're probably using the plot line where Bane breaks out all the prison inmates. Also, pretty sure Batman's gonna have his back broken, because their fight was in the bat cave and they have a bat cave just for this movie so...

To be honest I think killing him would be a good move. They could have someone else become Batman at the end or something I don't care. I just want to see superheroes moving away from comic-style writing where they're all immortal and just go through the motions over and over again.

No one gives a shit. I'm a huge Batman fan and I don't give a shit. The only people who give a shit are the anal ultra-fans and we shouldn't give them the slightest bit of slack because they've been ruining comics for decades.

This is a different story and the further it distances itself from the rigid, stagnant continuity of comic-world the better. Superhero writers need a fucking wake up call.

yes.

but it was also to provide an in-universe explanation for why everybody kept dying and coming back to life, and put an end to it.
nekron, one of DC's numerous embodiments of death, became Black Lantern Guy. he'd left the door to the afterlife open a crack, as part 1 of a long-term plan to take over the universe with zombie douchebags. (because he could also claim anybody who'd died and came back to life for his army of douchiness. slick.)
his takeover push failed, and it's widely held that he probably closed the door behind him, making death in the dcu much more permanent.
it was a pleasant surprise, but all it means is they're probably not going to kill anybody for a while, not that superman's story is suddenly going to become finite.

Yeah I heard about that. Honestly comics just need to stop referencing themselves all together and tell some damn stories. Continuity and backstory is fun and all but superhero lore is so thick trying to get into any new comic is like wading through treacle. Pretty much the only decent comics I've read that were made since the 80s are ones that find a way to completely detach themselves from the standard comic universe so they can get away with proper storytelling. 90% of modern comics are just long running soap operas with tits and fists thrown in to keep little boys happy. It's a real shame.

Bane looks kind of shit but so does Batman without all the lighting and post-production so who knows. I hope they do something to make Bane look bigger. He doesn't need to be comic book huge or anything but the scale has always been his main aesthetic.

Tom Hardy doesn't look right as Bane :/

Quote from: Munglai;1832332

Bane looks kind of shit but so does Batman without all the lighting and post-production so who knows. I hope they do something to make Bane look bigger. He doesn't need to be comic book huge or anything but the scale has always been his main aesthetic.

but how do you expect bane to look big when you know tom hardy is shorter than christian bale and the picture you are judging from was taken by a spectator

its like someone seeing a set photo of elijah wood as a hobbit and being disappointed that hes not 3 feet tall

Man I didn't expect him to, I said I hope they do something to make him look that way. I mentioned post-production in the same post. Read harder, boy.

dont ever ask me to read

:/

:\

I don't know who that's supposed to be. Batgirl?

Nope, Catwoman.

When I heard they were using Bane and Catwoman I kind of assumed the theme was going to be masks and how having a Batman-style alias can easily lend itself to evil and how Batman deals with that, but it looks like neither Catwoman or Bane is going to have a mask so I have no idea what the story might be. I'm going to reserve judgement for now but so far none of the costumes reveals have been as exciting as the Joker's.

Quote from: UshankaClock;1834309Nope, Catwoman.

Hahaha holy shit.

I can totally see all the cat stuff going on there.

with how publicized any and all footage of the movie is and how secretive i hear chris nolan likes to be i wouldn't be surprised if everything we've seen is just to screw with us

WHY

I read this thing that talked about all of nolans movies and made a pretty believable prediction that bruce wayne dies in the third one and then theres a new batman

bane is huge

Quote from: MiracleFruitClock;1879424

Watched the prelude thing that they stuck on the front of Mission Impossible. I like Bane's voice. I was worried they'd ditch his accent but he's got it.

Quote from: MiracleFruitClock;1880372bane is huge

i know but his arm is right next to some other dude's arm for a couple frames in that .gif so you can compare and of the two Bane has the smaller arms i am confused

I'm surprised this hasn't been posted here yet.

I have listened to what Bane says in that trailer a bunch of times now and I still can't figure out what it is exactly.

When Gotham is ashes, you have mad the reason to die?

When Gotham is ashes, you have my permission to die.

Quote from: SoBe Clock;1882615When Gotham is ashes, you have my permission to die.

Yeah, that makes sense. Though I still hear 'mad the reason' when I read my post when listening to it. 'Permission to die' when I don't read anything. An unintelligible voice and a mouth covering mask make for a bad combination.

Sounds like "When Gotham is ashes, you have my permission to die."

Also that shot with the football field crumbling was awesome, I don't normally get giddy over fancy special effects but goddayum.

Yeah I was able to follow what he was saying in the prelude thing but that "you have my permission to die" line is pretty much unintelligible. Nolan's Batman trilogy is definitely going to go down in history as the Batman trilogy with the funny voices.

They've made so many, too. It's horrible :(

The blogger whines the film would be a stretch from reality if this is indeed an earthquake machine.

As opposed to a machine that vaporizes water supplies, flowers that create fear inducing gas, cloth that becomes rigid when electrically charged ..

Quote from: pop-tart clock;1910174About 50 seconds or so in... mannnn

That and the minute mark. Fucking awesome.

I just got the new Empire today, and it has a huge spread about the whole trilogy. I'm scurred to read it a'cus of spoilers, though.

mr waynnnnnnahehhueheuehue

its like evening commissioner but it owns even more

We can assume from this scene that the movie takes inspiration from Knightfall... where Bane exhausts Batman by unleashing anarchy in Gotham and then ambushes him in the cave when he's worn down from trying to restore order. This preview shows how perfectly played this is... from Bale's face when Batman realizes he's walked into a trap... to Hardy's, as MFC points out, glorious "Mr. Waynnnne."

I'm pretty psyched...

this tv spot is the boss


:12 bane climbing like a beast, :20 batplane bustin through the batcave waterfall

sick wheelie jump at teh end too

our theater has a midnight screaning of the whole trilogy, yey
I'm just gonna rewatch at home then go see Rises in Imax

kind of had to fight myself from lolling the entire time I watched it. A lot of the same problems I had with Prometheus.
