You forgot the quotation marks around "development"
That train wreck is never coming out. I mean, yes, JGL would be great, and who knows about this new Superman guy, but then what.. Ryan Reynolds as Green Lantern, no one as Wonder Woman.... Aquaman? The Flash?

I'd say go with Gordon-Levitt as Batman for that film. He's got a good range.

I've actually enjoyed it more seeing bits of it on airplanes and on other people's tvs in the background. I didn't think there was any question of it being better than Dark Knight, which was an obvious peak. The most iconic villain, a great performance, etc. (though it's hard to re-watch, as some here have noted - it's probably 45 minutes too long). I think the hope for DKR was that it would wrap up the story and give us a few more thrills. Let us see our old friends again. It had some very stoooopid parts. Bane was a mistake from the beginning. Dumb in the comics, lame in the movie, just a very surprising choice and a very poor execution. However, I thought they did a very nice job of tying together the story they started in the first one. Like, that's not easy, and I thought Hathaway and JGL were fantastic additions. Hathaway was red hot and very funny, very pleasantly surprised. JGL is putting together a great body of cult films (with big budgets). They built up so much good will, I was cool with it. I wish the movie had STARTED in the Bane-controlled city. That was the story. The best thing this series did was having him feel like his parent's death was his fault for being afraid at the opera. That was a magnesium flare set off in a dark cave. It was the most brilliant addition to Batman mythology in 70 years. Magnificent, and the bit in this one about needing to allow himself to be afraid to succeed (and to recapture his humanity) is genius. It's pure, basic, distilled Batman-story genius. I won't watch any of them again but I enjoyed them.

Between the two, though, I found Bane's the worst. I've seen parodies of Christian Bale's Batman voice that have really cracked me up. I'm surprised there hasn't been numerous ones of Tom Hardy's Bane voice yet. ---------------------------------------- Have a Better One, Edward Crosby http://about.me/edwardcrosby On Wed, Jan 2, 2013 at 9:16 AM, Jennifer Walker <[email protected]> wrote: I'd say that Bane's voice affectations filled the annoyance gap left by Christian Bale not doing his Batman voice throughout the bulk of the movie.

It took a long time for the story to develop so I was kind of bored for the first hour and a half of the movie. Also, am I the only one who was really annoyed by Bane's voice and speech? And, I had my reservations about Anne Hathaway being Catwoman before the movie came out; she wasn't as bad as I had expected but I still think they could have found a better Catwoman. To me, The Dark Knight is still the best of all three Christopher Nolan's versions of The Batman movies. I'm ready for Batman Beyond movies now. :) ---------------------------------------- Have a Better One, Edward Crosby http://about.me/edwardcrosby -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Unique Geek" group.
