I just hate when they replace an actor in a series, and her character was useless, so why not get rid of her? Throw another girl in? Oh well.

I actually disagree with you there. I don't think that she was useless. Certainly, she wasn't as important as pretty much everyone else, but she did serve as a link to Bruce Wayne's past and his basic decency as a human being. Her line about how his father "would be ashamed" prompted him to go off on his journey and ultimately learn the difference between vengeance and justice.

Sure, another character might have been able to do that, but if you cut all of her scenes, you'd be missing something.

Personally though, I prefer Gyllenhall to Holmes, although I don't dislike Holmes. I'd rather they kept it the same for continuity's sake, but it doesn't bother me all that much.

That could have been done just as easy without the character. Bruce could have come to all of those realizations on his own or they could have used Alfred.

My point was more that she didn't distinguish herself as a character... there was nothing special/unique/interesting about her and anyone could fill her place, not that her scenes were pointless.

sub780lime · 07-30-2007, 10:09 PM

I agree with El Lancito in that I dont think they could have replaced her with another female character. Thats the one thing that always annoyed me about the Batman series before. It always had to be a different love interest. It just go so annoying and threw off the continuity, IMO. Having this character continue is nice. Why does Bruce really need a love interest anyway. To create more conflict? To put in danger? Bah!

Exclusive: Batman Gets a New Theme!
Source: Edward Douglas
July 31, 2007

Comic book movie fans the world over were thrilled with Christopher Nolan's 2005 relaunch Batman Begins and a large part of that--not to disparage the talented Danny Elfman--was due to Hans Zimmer's fantastic score. ComingSoon.net/Superhero Hype! recently had a rare opportunity to talk to the musical maestro about his score for The Simpsons Movie, and we asked him how things were progressing on the musical end of the Batman sequel The Dark Knight.

The biggest news from Mr. Zimmer, who told us that he's "playing around" and "getting some ideas" is the fact that he's crafting a new Batman theme for the second movie in the relaunched franchise. "It's going to evolve," He told us. "There is a big Batman theme which I was playing with for the last one, but I always felt the character hadn't earned it yet, so I just want to go and play around, and I now want to go and complete that theme, so that's part of the idea. I felt I had a good start, and now it would be really nice to develop that world a little further."

As long as it doesn't change too much, I will be okay.

It looks like the semi I've seen in other 'upright' spy shots. It had a gaping door with the Joker seen inside it. Plus the architecture of the buildings seems correct for Chicago. If I can find an upright pic of said semi, I'll post it.

Iguana Man · 08-04-2007, 02:18 PM

The BatPod is almost ridiculous! I heard the stunt man took 3 months learning how to drive it.

Unbelievable.

bembol · 08-04-2007, 08:36 PM

I saw, more like heard the Teaser today. I can't wait!

1st Teaser at the end of 2007?

12:04 PM TEXAS TIME: This has been going around for a while now (Hell, I may have already mentioned it), but it looks like the first full-length trailer for TDK will come during the holiday movie season and be attached to I AM LEGEND -- which is a Warner Bros. film, by the way. I AM LEGEND is scheduled for a December 14th release. Hmmm, "See You In December...?"

Cant wait.

Awesome read and WHY DO I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL 2008 to see this

MooglePorn · 08-17-2007, 01:12 AM

The joker looks pretty much PERFECT...

Agalloch · 08-17-2007, 04:05 AM

Glad I got to see those images...they're disappearing from websites faster than you can blink. Warner's lawyers are on the loose so they say...

**SilentBob** · 08-17-2007, 04:13 AM

Looks like a few were missing up there.

MooglePorn · 08-17-2007, 04:27 AM

Joker's hair is getting as thin as mine up front.

MJZ · 08-17-2007, 10:01 AM

Some more at Dark Horizons, for now.

I'm not sure about the bike, it doesn't look very practical so I'm looking forward to seeing how/why it was developed in the film itself.

mighty mint · 08-17-2007, 02:31 PM

Those look awesome!

I want to hear more audio clips of the Joker though...Ledger sounds downright creepy!

GlacierMonkey · 08-17-2007, 04:52 PM

Meh...I'm not that into Ledger's Joker. But then, I was one of the few who wasn't that thrilled with Begins.

MJZ · 08-17-2007, 05:10 PM

How about these special images I found:

Out of curiousity alone, did you enjoy any of the bat films? I only ask because some feel the first Burton film was best and the Begins film boring.
