kingjulian: Bane For Batman 3

kingjulian 01.19.11	Oh and Tom Hardy is playing Bane, along with Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle (Catwoman).
AggravatedYeti 01.19.11	100% fine with all of those decisions. I love Christopher Nolan.
acADHDemy 01.19.11	im stoked but i would have rather they kept catwoman casting under wraps and made it look like it was catwoman in the trailer but it ended up being talia
BurningApollo 01.19.11	well i'm pumped for this!!!
Deviant. 01.19.11	Was just reading about it, the big thing everyone seems to be prattling on about is that the press release never mentions Anne Hathaway as Catwoman, just Selina Kyle
WeepingBanana 01.19.11	i thought you were talking about the band Bane i was like lolwut
Athom 01.19.11	batfags
Strider 01.19.11	Hathaway as Catwoman is so right
Deviant. 01.19.11	I have the biggest crush on Hathaway but she is not a good choice for Catwoman Still interested by the fact they specifically avoided using the word Catwoman in the press release though
Oceanus 01.19.11	Dunno how I feel about Bane at all.
PayneTiger777 01.19.11	Oh shit! Tom Hardy is an interesting choice. 1,2, and 5 are amazing.
Strider 01.19.11	this should be interesting. I wonder what the main theme of the film will be. You know, like fore BB it was fear and for TDK it was chaos
TheJackal 01.19.11	if it's anything like the first 2 this will be amazing. Hardy as Bane is a great matchup
TheJackal 01.19.11	just got 5 the other day, quality stuff
patroneyes 01.19.11	1 is not good
ninjuice 01.19.11	Anne Hathaway is great but I honestly don't see her as Catwoman. Hopefully they both surprise (at least me) like Ledger did. And of course I have to post: http://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?memberid=219050&listid=64620
Thane 01.19.11	Needs more Clayface.
acorncheese 01.19.11	FUCK YEAH 2.
omnipanzer 01.19.11	I hope they use the same obvious blow up suit they did for batman forever... that would be sweet. no
deathofasalesman 01.19.11	Scarlet Johansson coulda made a good catwoman. You should buy an album from the band Bane.
kingjulian 01.19.11	Yeah, Hathaway wouldn't have been my first choice, but Nolan has been pretty good at pulling off surprising casting choices. I'm surprised that Nolan is doing a film with Bane; it seems like he would've tackled one of the other more intellectually interesting villains, but then again, Bane has more of a backstory than what Batman and Robin gave him lol
MUNGOLOID 01.20.11	anne hathaway as catwoman? awwwwwwwwwwwwww yeah!
Strider 01.20.11	Portman or Scarlet would have been great choices too imo, but Hathaway will do a good job, I know it.
Urinetrouble 01.20.11	@kingjulian in the comics bane is both super intellectual and strong he deduces batmans identity based on just bruce waynes arm movements he's a pro military strategist and he broke the bats back go read knightfall now and about the selina kyle thing....they didn't reveal eckhart was two face until a month before the movie...before tha he was just dent
Scoot 01.20.11	bane sucked shit in batman and robin
Strider 01.20.11	everyone sucked shit in Batman and Robin. Even Robin went to another level of sucking I didn't know he was capable of.
BassDemon333 01.20.11	I'm stoked for this, but I don't know if it can live up to The Dark Knight.
omnipanzer 01.20.11	"I'm stoked for this, but I don't know if it can live up to The Dark Knight." The bar wasn't really set that high. The Dark Night was acceptable and plenty of people feel I'm being generous with that.
Kiran 01.20.11	hardy is gonna rule, the guy is awesome. i had to google bane but if youve seen hardy in 'bronson' its so easy to picture him in the role dunno about catwoman, i always thought the character kinda sucked but thats based entirely on that awful halle berry movie and tim burton's batman
Kiran 01.20.11	and yeah the bar is set pretty high considering its predecessor was one of the highest grossing movies of all time, is the best comic book adaptation ever, and nabbed one of its actors an oscar cmon
kingjulian 01.20.11	I'm hoping this is better than Dark Knight in a lot of ways. Dark Knight is generally a great film, but there's so much about it that's so disappointing to me; mainly that it was hardly a Batman film. The best Batman stories have always delved deep into Batman's thought process and world view, but there was no room for that because The Joker and the chaos he created got most of the attention. Granted, I'm not a big fan of Christian Bale's take on Batman, but I'm hoping that this can be a more Batman-centric story. I am excited to see Batman on the run from the cops, though; the best Batman stories have always had that.
Nagrarok 01.20.11	'but I'm hoping that this can be a more Batman-centric story.' The pre-Nolan films weren't exactly that either, the villains got all the screentime. Plus Heath Ledger put down the best role of his life.
kingjulian 01.20.11	Both of those statements are true; I'm just hoping for this coming film to be more of a Batman story.
