The Dark Knight (SPOILERS START ON PAGE 3)

<< < (64/88) > >>

KvP:
Basically. Way back when Batman was just a detective in a costume, with a pistol and everything. I liked Nolan's / Ledger's relatively unadorned Joker, a head case who isn't "Super Sane!" or fond of gags or anything, but isn't unrelentingly grim or some Chighur-like Manifestation of Evil either.

And despite the excellent Animated Series, Batman is one of my least favorite comic heroes, so in general I'm cool to most of the stuff. If it was all like the Dark Knight I'd like it much much more. If DC decided to make a Batman comic in the Nolan universe I'd buy it. Ironically, for the abundance of Marvel films having been and being made none of them have really been as good as the Dark Knight, and DC up until this point has been seen as the fuck-ups (granted, Superman Returns was not that great) I still maintain that the first two X-Men films were pretty good, but given the tone of Marvel movies I don't see any of them ever really being this good. They're just not this... ambitious, I guess. Iron Man was fun but it had just about one viewing's worth of it. I have no interest in the Avengers, but I'm very interested in seeing where Nolan takes the third Batman film.

Tommy I'm pretty sure they can manipulate a person on camera so it appears they are shorter. Like, I'm pretty sure Elijah Wood isn't actually three or four feet tall like he appers in Lord of the Rings. Though maybe he is a short dude, I dunno. I just think with a large enough budget height would not really be an issue. Hoffman probably would make at least a resonable Penguin.

Jackie Blue:
The Riddler as a dark, OCD, Rube Goldberg-and-puzzle-obsessed ex-scientist would basically fit into the Nolanverse perfectly, I think.

Tergon:
Only problem I see with a realistic Riddler is how, exactly, he'd challenge Batman.  The Nolan series is so gritty and, well, bloodthirsty.  A guy who steals diamonds while leaving bizzare clues about it... there's ways to make that realistic, but I can't think of many ways he could actually pose a THREAT to Batman.  The only way I can think of is a possible Brains 'n Brawn teamup with another villian, but I can only see a cliche like that hurting the film.

I know, re-imagined versions and all, but still.  How do you keep the Riddler in style, but still make him dangerous enough for the new series?

Lines:
Hoffman is around 5'10, but they could make him look shorter. But I agree with Tommy, in Capote it was a bit weird and didn't completely work. Besides, Elijah Woods is 5'6 and I'm sure it's easier to make him appear to be much shorter, since most of the other actors in LotR were taller than he was anyways. But they did it with John Rhys-Davies and he's 6'1. He was rather convincing.
