Default Re: The Dark Knight Rises

That title smells like marketing. I know Christopher Nolan must have enough clout at this point that he could have any title he wants, so I really have to wonder about this. The Dark Knight Rises? The same title as the last film with "Rises" added to the end? Really, does anybody think he's not going to rise?

As for villains, I've already told BAB that I'm not too worried as long as it isn't Hush (a.k.a. Most Generic Batman Villain Possible). The only other villain who doesn't have superpowers is the Penguin, and he wouldn't be bad. Of course, they might decide to turn one of the villains into a realistic version, like perhaps a master of disguise named Clayface.

What would be interesting is if they did the Red Hood storyline. Obviously, it wouldn't be the resurrected Jason Todd, but the same kind of story could still explore the nature of Batman's vigilante activities and his willingness to kill. Or they could bring in the Huntress as another vigilante for him to tangle with. Plus she would bring a female into the cast.

But here's my bold prediction: the villain will be Catwoman. That's all. No, she's not really enough to carry the movie all by herself, but she doesn't have to. After all, Batman Begins wasn't about Scarecrow and Ra's Al Ghul. It was about Batman. The Joker overshadowed Batman in The Dark Knight, but in this third film we now have a chance to return back to the main character who is really the most interesting of them all.

In my opinion they need a strong villain to carry this movie. For me I don't think I could watch a movie again centered around Bales Batman. It get painful.

Saying that I don't know how they can top the Joker. He is Batman's greatest villain and the performance was amazing. In my opinion this movie will be a letdown. Not a bad movie, but with all the hype and it having to follow the Dark Knight I don't think it will be as awesome.

Really? What interesting could you still tell about Batman? Batman Begins was a great movie (much better than the sequel), but I don't think I'd enjoy any more of the same.

The title made me wonder, what does the Dark Knight rise to? The air? Presidency? Or did he just build a sweet elevator in his mansion?

Perhaps it was a trade off for not doing it in 3D. I can guarantee that WB would like to release it in 3D, but Nolan didn't want to. Perhaps they agreed to not do 3D if Nolan agreed to having "The Dark Knight" in the title?
