Tom Hardy as Bane... there was apparently another viral marketing campaign today with some sort of mosaic that came together to form this photo:

Are they still planning a Deadpool movie?

Can't wait for this movie. Bane was a natural choice given the dark direction of the Batmans under Nolan and the dark atmosphere Bane/the Knightfall story bring to the Batman universe. I know they'll do the character dark justice and not let it stray into the realm of cheesiness. Can't say I'm too excited for Catwoman's apparent inclusion though. Lame.

Ok, I'm sensing a parallel between your taste in music and superheroes...

Wow...another epic fail in logic, Rip....asking a question whether or not they are making a Deadpool movie says nothing about my liking or disliking of Deadpool, in general....

Let's try another one, shall we? 'Is it going to rain tomorrow?' ok, now do I want it to rain tomorrow, or not?

Same here... I second all if that. Catwoman could be cool though if done right, but it would be a tightrope walk.

Today? It was 2 or 3 days ago! Rip, you're slipping!! :lol:

Yes, there will be a Deadpool movie with Ryan R. The character won't be 100% the same, i.e. a "soft reboot."

That should've been the title of the movie, too.

I agree. Kind of surprised Nolan went for her, since's vocally anti-Penguin.

When thinking Catwomen, don't think Michelle Phyfer or even the awful Halle Berry. Think "Nolan-verse." Nolan has practically made the Bat-series a very well told story and plot that follows a very dark, dark script, kind of like Frank Millers take. I think Catwomen, played by the SEXY Anne Hathaway can really steal the show in a Nolan-verse. She's kind of a mysterious tweener who at one moment can be Batman's love interest and the other moment be a vicious as any other villian. Nolan can make her very unique.

Bane is just all kinds of AWESOME. TDK Rises is going to Badass.

I think they should have gone with the Riddler or something. But, then, I'm not a comic reader.

He's sourced a lot from what Frank Miller (Batman: Year One) and Alan Moore (Batman: The Killing Joke) have done. Which I applaud him for, because the best source material was all but ignored in the Schumacher films.

Man, I so liked Jack Nicholson as the joker. Riddler would be cool. I didn't dig Catwoman played by Michelle Pfeiffer.

So no mr.freeze eh? :twisted:

by **brywool** » Thu May 26, 2011 2:11 am

yeah Catwoman can only be Julie Newmar. Hallie Berry was a joke as was Pfiefer.
Not sure why Batman flicks always have to have a multi-villian approach.
Bane's a great idea but I just don't want to see them mess that up with Catwoman added.
