Ever since the new Batman villains was announced for the “Dark Knight: Rises”, they were just announced as Selina Kyle and Bane. The news didn’t quite say if Catwoman will actually be in the film or not. Well Anne Hathaway herself, confirms the Catwoman character will be in the “Dark Knight: Rises”. She didn’t say how long Catwoman will be in the film, maybe Catwoman will have just a small role or she might even be throughout the whole film, don’t know yet, but it’s good news to hear that Catwoman will be in the film after all. Can’t wait to see what the new Catwoman costume is going to look like.
Well here’s the next Superman casting pick! Warner Bros. and the rest of the Superman crew, are very interested in Kevin Costner, for a major role. Nobody said what character he would be playing in the “Superman” franchise, but the most popular pick is people think he’s going to play Jonathan Kent, Clark’s adoptive human father.
Yeah, I agree that Costner would be great for Pa Kent, but honestly, Costner has a Lex Luthor vibe to him. Keep in mind that Costner played quite a lot of villains in movies over the years. “Mr. Brooks”, “3000 Miles to Graceland” and maybe a few others he played the bad guy. I know people don’t want them using Lex Luthor again, but I think they will. Costner does play a villain very well, almost psychotic and mean. He might be great for Luthor. Don’t be surprised if they do decide to use Luthor again.
Before “The Dark Knight” and “Inception”, in my opinion, it was , “Memento” that I thought was Christopher Nolan’s masterpiece. If you haven’t seen, “Memento”, I’d suggest you see it soon. It is Nolan’s best storytelling. More creative and unique than, “Inception”.
On Thursday Feb. 17th, there will be special screenings to celebrate the 10 year Anniversary of “Memento”, being shown in selected theaters. The event is being held by Cinedigm which is owned by Lionsgate studios. See the list of theaters, here.
If the film is being shown in your area, I’d suggest you go. If you see this film, you would understand why he did the Batman films and, “Inception”. Read their press release, here.
Why is there a lot of hatred for this Robin character? I don’t understand it! Whenever a new Batman movie is on the way, and whenever the Robin character is mentioned, the character will get a lot of negative criticism by the fans. A new rumor for Christopher Nolan’s “Dark Knight: Rises” hit the web recently that Robin might be introduced to the new film. It kind of makes sense to bring in Robin for the next film. If you’re going to use Bane as the main villain for the next Dark Knight flick, might as well use Robin then. Bane was mostly used in “Batman & Robin” comics and animated series.
Why was the character, Robin, brought into the Batman franchise? Try to remember that Bruce Wayne’s parents were murdered in a random mugging in the alleys of Gotham. Bruce had nothing growing up. His parents being murdered, ruined his life forever. So Bruce trained himself into crime fighting to what he would become, Batman, later on. Batman needed a crime fighting partner. So Bruce, preferred that partner to be young. When he got together with Dick Grayson the first Robin, Bruce taught him detective work, taught him some fighting skills and acrobatic stuff. The reason for Robin is that not only that he would be a good crime fighting partner, Bruce is trying to recreate what he lost in his childhood, a family. Bruce wanted to be a part of something he never had growing up.
Even if Robin may possibly be used for the next Batman flick, I don’t think it’s going to be throughout the whole movie. Maybe Robin maybe mentioned very briefly, maybe he will get a small cameo at the end of the movie or somewhere in the middle. Robin have always been an important character of the Batman franchise. He was created hoping to attract children to the Batman franchise too.
I have no problem with the Robin character. Robin is also a useful crime fighting partner. He is smarter than Batman. Faster than Batman and more mysterious. I find it kind of funny how a lot of people like Hit-Girl from “Kick Ass” and everyone is hating on Robin, what’s wrong with that picture? What ever they do with Robin, I’m sure Chris Nolan won’t fail us. In Christopher Nolan, I trust.
Superman’s undisclosed villain have been leaked to the web a couple of days ago. That villain happens to be Ursa. One of the three super-villains from “Superman: The Movie” and “Superman II”, who had General Zod and Non by her side. Ursa is that scary and evil looking woman, pictured above, who was originally played by, Sarah Douglas.
It is rumored that three different actresses are in the runners-up for the role, Alice Eve, Diane Kruger, and Rosamund Pike. Read the full article, here.
The character of Ursa have not yet been confirmed by Warner Bros. or Chris Nolan but I’m sure we’ll hear from them soon on whether this news is true or not.
Many Superman fans hate this idea I’m noticing because some don’t want another Kryptonian as the villain. Honestly, I think having Ursa as the main villain for the next Superman movie a good idea. As long as they don’t have General Zod and Non by her side, it could be an original movie, and not be a remake of Superman II. The Ursa character could be used more, as she wasn’t used much in the Superman comics, animated series, and the films.
Ursa is a character who hates men and she enjoys killing men. The only reason she teamed up with General Zod and Non, even if they are men is because they have similar powers as her. Superman having a female villain would be cool. I thought Ursa was a great character in “Superman II”, it’s one of those villains that makes you want to really hate. If they use Ursa for the next movie, they’ll probably make her sexier looking though.
Christopher Nolan have announced today that Superman have officially been casted. An unknown actor by the name of Henry Cavill have been officially chosen to play the role of Clark Kent and Superman for the upcoming “Superman” reboot by Warner Bros., Zack Snyder and Christopher Nolan. As you can see Henry resembles Christopher Reeve, a little bit, they both look alike.
Wow. Warner Bros., and Chris Nolan are hard at work on both “Superman”, and “Batman”. I’m impressed! That is called multi-tasking. First the Batman villains have been casted and now Superman have been casted. Now that we all know who Superman is, we will know who the “Superman” villains will be very soon! I can’t wait to see who the villains for “Superman” will be. Just like everyone else, I hope they won’t use Lex Luthor or General Zod again either. We want a fresh and new Superman villain. A villain that haven’t been used in films before, like Darkseid or Doomsday would be cool.
Now that we know the main villains for Christopher Nolan’s “Dark Knight: Rises”, we will soon know the villains for “Superman: The Man of Steel” by Zack Snyder, Christopher Nolan/Warner Bros. I remember a while back they won’t be using General Zod, ’cause they shot down the rumors of General Zod this past year.
Predict which villains you think they will use. Here are my picks…
Brainiac
Doomsday
Lex Luthor (again)
Darkseid
Eradicator
I personally would like to see them use, Darkseid, the most. Imagine what Zack Snyder could do with the Darkseid character.
They haven’t even casted anybody for Superman yet, so we will know who will be playing Superman first before we know who the villains are. They’ll give us more Superman news soon, I hope.
Well, finally. Warner Bros and Christopher Nolan announced “The Dark Knight: Rises” villains today. Who are they? Anne Hathaway has been casted as Selina Kyle and Tom Hardy is Bane.
Carefully read the press release. Notice how the press release said, Anne will be playing Selina Kyle, and Catwoman’s name wasn’t mentioned. Does this mean Selina Kyle won’t be in the Catwoman costume? It is widely known that Catwoman’s real identity is Selina Kyle.
As for Bane is a good choice of a villain and in my website here, I’ve been saying that they should use Bane. Bane is a big and muscular villain, a wrestler physique type of villain. Bane only becomes big and muscular with a drug called, “Venom” when injected. If you think Tom Hardy isn’t fit for the role, have you seen shirtless pics of Tom online? The guy is fucking MASSIVE! He’s perfect for Bane.
Shirtless pic of Tom here:
That’s probably why he was hired because of his massive physique. Plus Tom played the villain a lot in other movies in his career and he does play a psychotic villain, that’s probably another reason he was hired, his acting talent.
Look like Tom will have to bulk up some more for this role. Remember, Bane was the first Batman villain to destroy Batman, break the Bat. So this is a great way to end the trilogy. I’m excited for the next Batman flick. Now they have the villains for the next Batman movie, I’m sure we’ll know who the villains will be for Zack Snyder’s “Superman” very soon!
More “Dark Knight: Rises” rumors hit the web today. Eva Green and Naomi Watts might have been signed for the two female leads. Could Eva Green be Talia Al Ghul and Naomi is Vicki Vale? Who knows. There is also talk of a new Batmobile, since the original was destroyed in “The Dark Knight” and there will be a new Batcave for “Dark Knight: Rises”. Remember, Batman doesn’t have a Batcave yet.
Even if Chris has been quiet on Batman news, the news seems to be leaking by itself. Come on Mr. Nolan, speak up? When are we going to hear more about Batman and Superman?
We all know that Christopher Nolan is hard at work at both Batman and Superman films for Warner Bros. but why has he been quiet on both films, you wonder? I think he’s keeping secrets and surprises from us that we shouldn’t know about yet.
So far, Chris has told us:
Superman – Zack Snyder has been hired director. Story will focus on the earlier days of Superman, mostly about Clark Kent. It will not be a remake of the earlier films and won’t be adapted from the comics of any kind.
Batman – Tom Hardy is set to play a main character, but didn’t say whether he will be playing a villain or a good guy character. There will be two female roles, one for female villain and the other for Bruce Wayne’s love interest. Several actresses have already been lined up for the actress roles. The film will also not be in 3-D. The Riddler will not be the villain.
That’s all the information we know so far.
Movie news will be slow around the Holiday season, so I’m sure Chris will tell us more in 2011, the new year. We still need to know the plots for both films and who the villains will be. We will know all that stuff soon. I know, I hate how they are not giving us more news, but it’s understandable, it’s hollywood.
