Comes out next year,who else is excited for this?I hope its better than begins.Heres the imdb profile:http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0468569/



Discuss!

I am definitely looking forward to it. Besides being a huge Batman fan since childhood, I am really fascinated by Christian Bale. Also, Heath Ledger as Joker and Aaron Eckhart as Harvey Dent (later Two-Face)...Plus, it will be partly filmed in IMAX...o boy this is gonna be good!

Here are some recent stills from the movie set...

And here is some latest news on the Dark Knight...

May 29, 2007

All directors promise that their sequels will be bigger and flashier than the predecessors'. But Christopher Nolan doesn't mess around.

The director's sequel to Batman Begins -- The Dark Knight -- will become the first feature film to be partly shot in the IMAX format, an expensive and cumbersome process that typically is the province of documentaries and short films.

Nolan will shoot four action sequences — including the introduction of The Joker, played by Heath Ledger — on IMAX. The move is one of Hollywood's most pronounced steps yet in its embrace of IMAX theaters, which are increasingly showing commercial fare on their giant screens.

'There's simply nothing like seeing a movie that way,' Nolan says. 'It's more immersive for the audience. I wish I could shoot the entire thing this way.'

'Batman has some of the most extraordinary characters in pop culture. We wanted The Joker to have the grandest entrance possible.'


***POSSIBLE SPOILERS***

* The Bat-cycle WILL be in the film, and will look similar to the Tumbler style-wise. They have built ten of these for various purposes.

* They are planning on having the Bat-cycle "emerge" from the Tumbler. The use of CGI may be incorporated to make it happen.

* Two Lamborginis were provided for the film and will be completely destroyed during filming.

* "Whether official or not, The Joker's get-away vehicle is always referred to as 'The Clown Car,' and there are several of these built...it may have a few tricks up its sleeve."

* Nothing yet about a "new" Batmobile.




Thats it, for now!

Batman has always been my favorite hero,peiod.I've loved him since i was a kid.And Christian Bale,Morgan Freeman,Michael Caine and Gary oldman are the icing on the cake.I doubt this will be anything but AMAZING.Kudos to Bale, Nolan and Batman fans everywhere.

i think the movie is going to be awsome

I can't wait! Batman Begins was my favourite one of the series, hopefully this one will be even better.

It sounds really good, cast wise at least. I to have liked Batman since I was a child. Particularly the villians. Matter of fact, I never really cared for Superman or Spiderman all that much.

all great apart from IMO the joker's image. I know they want to show a darker side to him but i really dont feel anything for that. It just looks...too dark. (At least it isn't too light like joel schumacher would have liked.) I don't think I can see ledger topping nicholson for the joker. But then, nicholson is one of the best actors to play insane people of our time.

Problem with Nicholson was he wasnt really that great as the Joker. He wasnt dark enough. The Joker is a sadistic killer. THat wasnt shown in the original Batman. I doubt Ledger will give justice to the greatest comic villian

I am excited for the film. Christian Bale is an amazing actor and I have a feeling Heath Ledger will suprise people. Joker will be dark and I think Ledger will be nominated for some awards after this flick.

Thats just my opinion.

batman begins was awesome so i'll definatly go see the next one! hehe, i've got an A3 sized promo poster in my room of batman begins :D

so? that makes them a make-believe...........oooh senators just scored.....hoo rah!


........erm.......a pork ball, how?

Bale nailed the role in Batman Begins. I'm looking forward to seeing TDK. I hope Ledger plays an Evil/Sadistic "Joker".

Very, VERY good news!

Batman Begins was awful but this seems like it's going to be up there with Batman [1989] and Batman Returns. Can't wait.

For those who are curious as to see how the Batman will look in this one...

Now tell me if that isnt a freakin badass suit...but no nipples though.:rolleyes:

i will definately go to see this movie.

however, i'm not too keen on Heath Ledger playing the joker, unlike most of you i thought Jack Nicolson did an excellent job on playing the joker. as a kid, and now too, i loved it. he was the reason i loved the Batman series so much. someone doesn't have to be dark and sadistic to be scary. that's just my opinion though.

Looks good.

this isnt the frank miller dark knight, is it?? cuz that would be insanity!!!

No.This a a sequel to BATMAN released in 2005.

yeah they used frank miller graphic novels for the original batman films

The Batpod is out...

http://www.moviehole.net/news/200706...he_batpod.html



Tell me if that isnt a cool set of wheels!!:D

I'm getting continually less excited for this...first the cheesy, over technical batsuit and now that "batpod" that looks suspiciously like something with no purpose beyond selling toys?

This movie is still going to be awesome because of the cast/crew/characters, but it's looking more like Schumacher by the minute...next thing you know there'll be nipples after all.

Incase anyone hasnt seen it yet, here's the new suit (just the link...didnt want to post the actualy pic becuse it's HUGE):

http://www.film-talk.com/forums/inde...=post&id=24575

im getting more exited, im a batman fan............................................... ........... i gotta stop being a fan of stuff, im totally devoted if im a fan of something and my opinion isnt what it would be if i wasnt.....if i wasnt a fan id think that batman bike thing looks aweful... whats with the wheels?

FOR SURE! should be a killer movie ... only problem is having Heath Ledger play the Joker not so sure about that?

He'll probably suprise us all.But atleast we have Christian,Gary and Morgan to look foward to.

Your right! Damn me for being so negitive!! :D All in all should still be a worth the hard earned money to see

Spawn is about to clash with Batman.

Proficient martial-artist and actor Michael Jai White ("Spawn", "Undisputed II : Last Man Standing") has joined the cast of the WB’s new "Batman" movie.

In "The Dark Knight", says MTV Movies Blog, White plays a mobster named Gamble.

Says abovementioned site, “Gamble is one of several mob bosses attempting to take over Gotham’s streets now that Carmine Falcone (Tom Wilkinson in the first ‘Batman’ flick) is out of the picture. As “Dark Knight” opens, Batman and Jim Gordon must decide whether to focus their energy on aspiring thugs like Gamble, or the homicidal Joker (Heath Ledger), a costumed anarchist bank robber.”

Rapper David Banner was also under contention for the part of Gamble, but White could kick higher - - - or something.

White is of course best known for playing the title role in the 1997 comic turned film "Spawn".

Meantime, speaking of all things Caped Crusader, IGN asked Christian ‘Batman’ Bale whether he’ll be taking part in the upcoming Justice League movie. According to the one-time American Psycho, he’d indeed be keen to kick it with Superman, Aquaman and Wonder Woman in the one film.

“It's like I was saying to Chris [Nolan] -- I'll be probably doing this in dinner theater somewhere in my 50s, so I won't knock it. Because who knows where I'll end up?"

I've never been a huge Batman fan for I'm far too much of a Marvel girl, however, when I first saw the picture of Heath Leger as the Joker I was super stoked.

I think it looks pretty good though I am not sure abtout the joker I like ole Jack from the first batman movie I think he did a great job.

yeah i get teased by friends for being a marvel girl.... with marvel being pretty poofy-ish but i love it.... i only like a few dc things.... and batman is up there

A couple of weeks ago it was reported that Anthony Michael Hall (Farmer Ted, Johnny Smith) was playing some non-specific criminal in the next “Batman” movie...

Well, seems that’s not quite right. The dude not only has a name…he has a name that “Batman” fans will most definitely recognize.

Hall could actually playing ‘The Riddler’ in “The Dark Knight”.

They could be right, but it seems a little silly adding another villain to the mix. After all, we’re going to have not only The Joker in the new film but also Two-Face. The last thing Chris Nolan wants it to have, is to have a “Spider-Man 3” on his hands.

Then again... Hall’s character will only be known as Mr. Edward Nygma in the film – and we won’t necessarily see him as ‘The Riddler’… so its possible. It is assumed that we won't see the character in full villain form until the next sequel, at least.

If this is indeed the case, then The Riddler and Two-Face will be the villains of the next movie…sound familiar?

Riddler and Two Face again? What I really want to see is Adam Sandler as the Mad Hatter and William H. Macy as the Ventriloquist.

The Joker, Harvey Dent, Gamble and now Nygma too? This could either turn out to be a great film, or a huge disappointment.

Cool. What they said about going back to the Joker's roots looks to be true.

More viral marketing but the police blotter thing isn't bad.

September 4, 2007


It may seem a little early to be worrying about a third Batman movie while the second one is still filming, but if Batman Begins has taught us anything about Christopher Nolan it’s that he plans ahead. Batman Begins set the stage for The Dark Knight, with references to the appearance of the Joker in the next film. It’s likely that Nolan will do the same thing with The Dark Knight in setting up a third Batman sequel, and we have a surprising bit of information on who may show up in it.

One of our most reliable, long time scoopers just sent us the following tidbit: “Word is that Heath Ledger could be coming back in the next sequel which will have Two Face as the main villain.” In Batman Begins, the movie’s main bad guy was dead by the time the film was over. Ledger plays the Joker in The Dark Knight and if this is true then it means that he may end up surviving to torment Batman again. Assuming Heath is any good as Mr. J, I like the idea of Joker sticking around in the background of future film, making life miserable for Bats. He is after all, his chief nemesis. It makes sense for him to keep haranguing Bats.

Even more exciting than the idea that we may get the Joker in more than one movie is the identity of another villain who may be in Batman 3. According to our source, “it could also include a certain female feline as well.” Bear in mind that the script for Batman 3 hasn’t been written yet, so it’s all just talk at this stage. But if this really is something Nolan is kicking around for a future Batman project, then don’t be surprised to see a few hints at the future arrival of Catwoman in The Dark Knight.

If he sticks with the influence of Long Halloween and Year One, there should be some hint of Selina Kyle being out there. I was hoping that Nolan would get closer to Long Halloween, which a Two Face based sequel would show the influence of. It's cool that he might not kill off the Joker, because Batman's rogue's gallery members are never one shot deals. The Scarecrow is still out there at the end of Begins, in spite of the puzzling and lame demise of Ra's Al Ghul.

Bring on TDK, just seeing the pics makes me want to see it more. Batman Begins is the best of all the films that have been made. Bale is the perfect Wayne/Batman. Even better than Keaton was. I'm sure TDK will trump Batman Begins, if Ledger can pull off The Joker.
