Thought: What would the Batman movies be like without Christopher Nolan???

Leave a comment

Chris Nolan announced the sad and not so surprising news that he’ll be quitting the Batman movies, after the “Dark Knight: Rises“. Warner Bros. will probably continue to make more Batman movies without Chris, but it makes you wonder what would happen if a director other than Chris helms a Batman movie? Here’s what I think. Nobody can make a better Batman movie than Christopher Nolan, period. I think we all know that. I’m a little worried that when Chris Nolan leaves after “DK: Rises”, the Batman franchise will go back to making crap movies again. Maybe a different director can make a good Batman movie, who knows…if a different director does happen to make a good Batman movie without Nolan being involved, it could be possible, but no other director could top Nolan. Nolan made the Batman movies the way they are supposed to be.

Hell, I’m even a little nervous about Chris Nolan’s “DK: Rises” flick that he’s planning. You’ll never know that the “DK: Rises” could turn out to be a shit movie or might turn out ok, but nothing will be better than ‘The Dark Knight” with Heath Ledger. I think, “The Dark Knight” is the best Batman movie out of all of them made from the past. I don’t just like, “The Dark Knight” just for Heath Ledger’s performance alone, he was great, don’t get me wrong. I like the whole movie overall ’cause it told a great story and the action was just amazing.

Don’t expect anybody to make a great Batman movie ever again. “The Dark Knight” was a very special film in so many ways. “The Dark Knight” should have gotten BEST PICTURE for the Oscars as well which didn’t make it that year. “The Dark Knight” was just a perfect Batman film, that I’ll never get tired of watching it. “Rises” won’t be any better, I bet your money on it. People want the next Batman flick to be better, but I don’t think it will happen. That’s how powerful, “The Dark Knight” film really is.

Just my 2cents folks, just don’t get all excited about “Rises” this soon.

Thought: Anne Hathaway as Lois Lane? Please not her!

Leave a comment

Rumors hit the internet, that Anne Hathaway could be the top contender to play Lois Lane in Christopher Nolan/Zack Snyder “Superman” for Warner Bros. My thoughts? I think that’s a bad choice. I like Anne Hathaway. She’s a good actress, but she won’t be good for Lois Lane.

I think the new Lois Lane should be similar to Margot Kidder’s Lois Lane from the earlier “Superman” movies. Margot Kidder obviously played the best Lois Lane, no other actress could top her. Lois Lane is a lady that is always aggressive and she’s one tough lady. She’ll do anything to get an article or photos for the Daily Planet newspaper no matter how dangerous things are. Anne Hathaway doesn’t fit. She’s not aggressive and mean enough. Lois Lane is supposed to be like that. Plus, Lois Lane isn’t supposed to be all that sexy and beautiful.

I’d go for actresses such as Michelle Williams, Scarlett Johannson or Hillary Swank. Lois needs to be played by an actress with talent.

I think it would be cool if Margot Kidder herself, made a cameo appearance in the new “Superman” movie Zack Snyder is doing. Maybe not her as Lois Lane, but a small role for Margot. Yes, Margot is still alive and well.

I also hope that new rumored Superman plot, where Clark goes to West Africa is a complete lie. If the West Africa plot is true, then the plot will suck. It should be taken place in Metropolis. No Smallville stuff ’cause we’ve seen enough of that already. I’m sure Zack and Chris won’t disappoint us with the plot. It’s interesting to me how they are keeping quiet on everything. I’m patiently waiting to hear more about Superman. Who’s going to play Superman and other cast members. I need to know the plot, who the villains will be. We’ll know all that stuff soon. Hope they don’t make us wait long.

Report: I’ve been saying this all along, “Superman” actor will be an unknown and not a big name!!

Leave a comment

Well Chris Nolan, keeps himself busy with both “Dark Knight: Rises” and Snyder’s “Superman”! You know, all you Superman fans out there naming all of these big name stars is just a waste of time. I’ve been saying the whole time that Superman will possibly be an unknown actor. That’s what WB’s and Chris Nolan are going for. They are not going for Jon Hamm, Brandon Routh, Tom Welling, Armie Hammer and all those other popular names that will be listed.

All the Superman actors from the past: George Reeves, Christopher Reeve, Dean Cain, Tom Welling, Brandon Routh, etc. They were all unknowns. I’m glad Chris is staying true to this. WB’s and Chris Nolan plan on going for an actor with no acting experience at all or lesser known TV actors. It’s a smart move, in my opinion.

See the story here at, Deadline.

It’s okay to pick big name stars for Lois, Jimmy Olsen, Perry White, etc., but Superman/Clark Kent can’t be a big name. For a good reason too! The Superman film makers are still keeping their mouth shut on the plot and I’m sure we’ll hear something about the plot soon. Hopefully the plot will be different. We already had plenty of this Krypton, Smallville and Metropolis plots, we already know those stories so hope this will be an original story this time around.

Report: It’s getting very close to see that Catwoman maybe the next Batman villain…

Leave a comment

Chris Nolan has lined up six different actresses who are in the hopes of being female leads for, “The Dark Knight: Rises”. It is said that one female lead will be Bruce Wayne’s love interest, the other will be for the main villain. If you look at all these six actresses, they are young. So the villain for the next Batman film, will be female. Does this mean that the female villain will either be Poison Ivy or Catwoman? I would like Natalie Portman as Bruce Wayne’s love interest. I would also like Naomi Watts as Catwoman if the villain will be Catwoman. It’s looking very likely that the next villain will be Catwoman, I’m very sure of it.

See the article here at, Deadline.

Cool Video: Zack Snyder’s “Sucker Punch” trailer, is this what his take on Superman will look like?

Leave a comment

Well Zack Snyder’s new movie, “Sucker Punch” teaser trailer has finally hit the web. In my opinion, it looks okay, nothing I would see in theater though. Looks like a wait for DVD type of thing. The action and story looks interesting, but the thing that doesn’t do it for me is the two leading women in this filim trying to look sexy and tough. Is Zack Snyder a player when it comes to women? You know, Zack seems to have a good eye and seems to be an expert with eye candy when it comes to women in film.

You wonder if Lois Lane and Lana Lang will look all sexy and tough for his version in “Superman”. If you watch the “Sucker Punch” trailer, this might be an example of what his Superman film might be like. Full of CGI and lots of green screen effects and of course, *ahem*, slo mo.

After seeing this trailer, it’s making me a little worried for Chris Nolan and Snyder’s verison of “Superman”. “Superman” will probably ending up being like “300” and “Watchmen”.

BREAKING NEWS: Christopher Nolan finally reveals official title for next Batman flick, it is officially titled, “The Dark Knight: Rises”…

Leave a comment

In more Batman news revealed today, Christopher Nolan finally reveals the title of the third film. It will be titled, “The Dark Knight Rises” and sorry to disappoint you, but it won’t be the Riddler as the main villain. Chris is still keeping quiet on the villain and he’s not ready to announce that yet.

Read the full story, here.

Who do I predict the villain is going to be? I’m willing to bet it’ll be either Black Mask or Hugo Strange. Although, it will be cool if Bane or Killer Croc could be the villains too.

Report: Christopher Nolan now on the hunt for female lead, for “The Dark Knight 3″…

Leave a comment

Tom Hardy is the latest to be casted as one of the male leads, now Chris Nolan is on the hunt for female lead for “The Dark Knight 3”. Of course, everyone will be thinking that Chris is on the lookout for a female villain such as Catwoman, Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, etc. That doesn’t mean a female villain is confirmed for the next one. What if Bruce Wayne finally has a love interest?

Maggie Gyllenhaal can’t come back because she was killed in a explosion from the last one, remember that?

More on it here.

Check out this list in the Batman love interest section, here.

Some may know that Batman had female villains such as Catwoman, Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn, but there are others. Other female villains are Mercy Graves, Smoke, and Blaze. People would like to see Harley Quinn be used, but she can’t. Why? Because I’ve said it before. She’s known to be the Joker’s girlfriend and Chris doesn’t plan to bring the Joker back because of Heath’s death. So you can leave Harley out. Honestly, I don’t see Chris using a female villain for the next one.

As for Batman’s love interest, I’d love to see Chris use, Talia Al Ghul, who is Ra’s daughter. It’ll make some sense with the story since Ra was in “Batman: Begins”.

Thought: Why do people want Brandon Routh back so bad?

Leave a comment

I look through entertainment movie blogs and message board forums talking about the actor choices for the upcoming new, Superman movie. The most popular picks are Brandon Routh and Jon Hamm. Brandon Routh is the most popular choice, of course. Ya know, I thought, “Superman: Returns” was a pretty good movie, but the only thing is, I never cared for Routh as Superman that much.

The reason people want Routh back is because he’s so similar to Christopher Reeve. Plus everyone wants to see Routh in another Superman movie. Honestly, I would prefer Jon Hamm more than Routh. I said before, I don’t want Routh back. I like Jon Hamm, he’s the better choice, I think.

I know I said this quite a bit, but don’t be surprised that it could be neither Brandon Routh or Jon Hamm as Superman. They could go with Leo Dicaprio due to the success of “Inception” like I said before.

So who would I want to play Superman? Honestly, and here is my 2cents. The Superman role should go to an actor who is not a big name star. In other words, the role should really go to an unknown. Christopher Reeve was an unknown when he came in, so was Brandon Routh. All that stuff with Brandon Routh possibly being considered to come back, all that news is from a UK newspaper, “News of the World”, which are tabloids. So I’m not believing that. The role should go to an unknown. I’m sure Chris and Zack would get a guy for Superman, that we’ve never even heard before. So don’t get all excited that they could get a big name superstar for Superman.

Report: Zack Snyder reveals that the new Superman movie will be original and will focus on earlier days of Superman…

Leave a comment

Zack Snyder recently did a French interview on a French film website to promote, “Legends of the Guardians”, over seas, and of course, he was asked about the Superman movie he is directing soon. While Zack still refuses to discuss the plot, he did reveal a little. He says the next Superman movie won’t be a remake of the earlier films and it won’t be adapted from the comics. The next Superman movie will stay focused on Superman’s earlier days.

More on it, here.

What does he mean, by the earlier days of Superman? Will the whole movie be taken place in Sueprman’s home planet, Krypton? If so, that would be really cool. “Superman: The Movie” had scenes on planet Krypton but very little, only in the beginning of the film. If we had a Superman flick that was taken place on planet Krypton a lot more, that would be sweet. That would mean Jor-El would get more screen time.

Either that, or are we going to get the other plot where most of the movie will be taken place at the Daily Planet in Metropolis.

Zack is keeping quiet on the plot ’cause I’m sure that is what he is paid to do. Christopher Nolan and WB’s don’t want the plot revealed until the time is right. Hopefully they’ll reveal the plot soon ’cause I’m dying to know what the story will be about too.

Report: Tom Hardy casted for Christopher Nolan’s, “Dark Knight 3” but keeping his role a secret for now…

Leave a comment

Wow! Christopher Nolan is on a roll with both “Superman” and “Batman”, working on both at the same time, it seems! First Chris hires Zack Snyder to direct, “Superman” and now Chris hires Tom Hardy for a top secret character in, the “Dark Knight 3”. They won’t reveal Tom’s character yet, but everyone is quickly assuming that it could be a villain character.

See the article at, Deadline.

Now, now, people. Settle down. The article never said, that Tom could possibly be playing a villain. I mean, he could, but Tom could still be playing a major good guy character, too. Don’t you think that Tom Hardy could play a good guy character who tries to help, Batman? I’m not saying he could be playing, Robin, but a different Batman character who’s a good guy.

Maybe Tom could be playing, Harold Allnut, who helps Batman with his crazy gadgets and maybe Hush could be the main villain for, “Batman 3”? Something like that could be a possibility. All this talk on Tom playing a lead villain, is just speculation, ’cause I guess that’s what the Deadline article wanted people to do. To play all these silly guessing games for the villain he will be playing.

If Tom is indeed playing a villain, I’d like to see him not playing one of those crazy costumed villains. Maybe Tom could play the role of Joe Chill? Joe Chill is the guy that killed Bruce Wayne’s parents and this could be a nice revenge story.
