He may reappear but I don't know if it'll be in the next flick since it kind of set up for TwoFace and Joker. The next one is suppose to be inspired by the Graphic Novel "the Long Halloween"
I don't think the story will be based on TLH since it's not really a joker story. But I imagine they'll use the Batman/Gordon/Harvey Dent team up dynamic in trying to bring down the Joker and Goyer already said in the third one, the Joker will be on trial and will be the one who throws the acid in Dent's face.
So are they making a whole new series out of this one? If so, thats cool i guess, I didnt like the other ones after Batman Returns where they seemed kind of childish. Also will Scarecrow be in the next one or is it gona be just joker? And is Katie Holmes gona be in the next one or are they gona stick to the original concept of new actress and new female lead character in every movie.
I think Nolan and Goyer probably planned to keep her on, but if I'm the WB, no way do I want her back since her and Tom Cruise have completely overshadowed this movie and now that they are enganged, all hell will break loose. I mean, she doesn't even promote the movie during her talk show appearences, she just gushes about Cruise and avoids the "how did they meet" story even though Tom has already explained it.
Yeah this series of flicks in a relaunch of the franchise. Begins and any other movies that follow are not related to the previous flicks. Don't know about scarecrow but Joker will be in it for sure. I personally hope Holmes doesn't come back because her character was pretty useless
**SPOILERS** I dont know, isnt she the one who took him to that mobster which made him decide to confront him. I guess she is the one who helps him become what he is and not become one of the criminals. Also, I think she had a bigger role in this movie than any of the other chicks in the other films. So if you think she was useless so were the other chicks in all of the other batmans. Except Catwoman.
I was at the movie's premiere for Germany in Berlin two days ago (walked down the red carpet and passed Katie Holmes on the way (she was giving autographs)). I thought the movie was great. The only thing, as macalu said, was that the taser scene was kind of weird, you have this supernatural monster thing and it gets driven off by a taser gun? Huh?
this movie was incredible!! i saw it two days ago and plan to see it again asap. the acting was great by everyone in the movie bale turned out to be a great great choice for batman. i really hope nolan and his crew decide to do more batman films. cillian murphy as one of the other posters said was great as scarecrow. to me he was spookier without his mask with his glass-like eyes and emotionless expression. 5 stars 9 thumbs up what have you, just go see it right away!
since it appears the joker is going to appear in the sequel are they planning or re-doing all the batman movies. having the joker in the sequel will diminish the first batman movie with the joker.
This is the start of a new franchise that have nothing to do with the previous movies. That way, they can bring back character who shouldn't have been killed "Joker" and properly develope characters who were mishandled "Two-Face."
I hope they have Harley Quinn hanging around the Joker. She has always been my favorite Batman character.
I love Harley but I hope she never appears on the screen because it will be a start down the camp street again....
SPOILER But, since she was already inoculated with the antidote for Scarecrow's gas, she wouldn't be seeing the "supernatural monster" thing... only the kid would. She'd just be seeing a smallish silly man with a tattered bag on his head trying to talk in a scary voice (but really its just his own squeaky voice... it only gets scary if you get the gas). Frankly, it wasn't too suprising that she didn't flinch and just tazed him... he's not that imposing by himself.
Does anyone think that this kid may become Robin in the future? Also, what did Batman give this kid when he first encountered him?
I hope not... Batman never needed Robin. Also, he gave him his night vision binoculars... like the kid would really need them.
So anybody know about the cast of the next movie? And also are they gona stick with one chick this time, because isnt batman supposed to be a pimp and get a bunch of chicks.
So who is Katie Holmes' character anyway? Her name is Rachel Dawes. Never heard of her. Granted I've never read the comics, but I did watch the animated series religiously, and I've heard that they did a pretty good job of transcribing the comic storylines and themes. Is she just some random chick that they made up for this film?
You know, now that I think about it, they really shouldn't have had Holmes in the film, at least not as the assistant DA. They should have made Harvey Dent the assistant DA, and build up that relationship. So when it comes time for him to turn into Two Face, the fall is that much more tragic because they have more history with each other. I think it would have really laid the foundation for a very dramatic about-face, err so to speak.
actually, i think that's why they had the top DA shot, to have an opening for Harvey Dent in the next movie.
