Wait, you don't think people would buy less ppvs or you do?

Talia could still act as a catalyst to Ra's return in the same movie, though. Ra's could have Talia move in on Bruce as a love interest, just to bait him along and screw him over in the end. Aside from that, I also agree with someone else when they said that the Halle Berry Catwoman fiasco may be too fresh in people's minds to do that character again. If they're going to introduce a love interest, it doesn't necessarily have to be a villain, though. Why not make it Huntress? She's the next obvious step in terms of civilians acting as vigilantes and not cutting it.. to civilians acting as vigilantes and actually kicking some ass at it. It'd be an interesting twist, IMO.

^^ I also agree with that idea. At least it would force them to do more than 4 weeks build to another title match.

It almost looks like that thing that pops up behind Conner in the last second of the trailer. TBT, I didn't get a good look at it though..

I would've loved another movie with the Joker.. but after that performance, I'd rather not have him recast. I think they should just leave it as is. That said, I wonder that if we get to see the inside of Arkham in the next movie that you'll hear a soundbyte of Ledger's Joker laugh somewhere in the background as a bit of a shout out. That would be pretty cool, actually.

They'd definitely have to change the plot a lot to do Hush, but I think it'd be doable. They'd just have to be clever about it. No villain has figured out who he is yet, so I think it's a safe bet that that will probably be a plot device for the next film. I think a tweaking of Hush as someone from Bruce's past who already hates his guts would be pretty cool. I'm sure it'll never happen, though...

I was writing that before I even saw your reply.

..anyway, there's a huge chance that the third film will be the final in this version of the franchise. I think what the series needs is the be all and end all of Batman villains. I was thinking about this earlier.. who, outside of the usual suspects that we've all talked about, could be this villain? I could only come up with HUSH. For anyone who knows the Hush story.. and the uncertainty to what happened to Dent in this film (yes, we KNOW the book said he dies, but plots can be changed.. which is probably why the movie doesn't definitively say he's dead) ..I think this would be an awesome continuation in the series and make for the ultimate ending to the trilogy. For those who don't know the story and are willing to be spoiled, go here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hush_%28comic...2Hush_Begins.22 Obviously a few things would have to be changed to fit in with the movie canon, but otherwise I think it'd make for a great storyline to play out on the big screen. Plus, you get your Riddler appearance if they were to keep that part. I also thought of Knightfall.. but I dunno.. Bane can be menacing and all, but I think he might be too cartoony or over the top for this version of the franchise. Thoughts on Hush?

That Penguin could work as a side villain like Maroni or Falcone was.. but I really couldn't see an entire movie based around him. ..and Kamala, comedy isn't what we're looking for in the Riddler. That's one thing that I think the original franchise did to fuck up these characters in people's minds. Pretty much every villain after Batman Returns was a rehash of Nicholson's Joker with the one-liners and stupid puns. Jim Carrey's Riddler = Joker. Tommy Lee Jones' Two-Face = Joker. Arnold's Mr. Freeze = Joker. *sigh*

People are actually saying that Carrey should play the Riddler again? Sorry, if it has to be the Riddler then I'd rather see someone new and fresh take on the role. Carrey had his chance, and he blew. I don't how much he's "grown" as an actor since 1994, I highly doubt he would ever get cast for the Riddler again.

If it does turn out to be the Riddler for the third film, and I really hope it isn't, I do have faith that Nolan will go with the criminal mastermind Riddler and not the bumbling buffoon Jim Carrey Riddler. If you can trust it, Wikipedia says: While doing press for The Dark Knight, Gary Oldman alluded that the Riddler could be the villain in the proposed third film. David Tennant has expressed an interest in the role. It also says: Nolan explained that as long as he is directing, he is not including Robin in the franchise because Bale is portraying a "young Batman", which meant "Robin's not for a few films". ... Bale joked "I'll be chaining myself up somewhere and refusing to go to work" if Robin is introduced. That's good, IMO. There's some other stuff here about Catwoman & Penguin's potential according to Goyer: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batman_%28fil...29#Nolan_series

Nope.

Why does it have to be two villains? People are way too stuck on that formula from the last franchise, and look how those always turned out. The thing I loved so much about this film was that So if there is a third film, I'd like to see that explored a little more.. and if not, then Fries, because his story.. (well, the animated series' version of the story) ..behind Victor Fries and why he loses it and becomes Mr. Zero/Freeze is truly tragic and I think could make for an awesome arc if done in this darker tone that Nolan has set for the franchise. I'd be happy if we never see the Riddler or Catwoman or Penguin as villains in this version of the franchise. I'm not sure what it is, but I almost think that they're too obvious as choices. I think they had to do the Joker because he's just as iconic to the Batman franchise as Batman himself is to comics in general...

I want Victor Fries as the next villain.

Oh, and the Japanese site is now up: http://www.capcom.co.jp/deadrising_wii/ (no real content yet tho)

Some screens from the Wii version: http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/photos/dead-rising/ Looks like it definitely is just like RE4:

I'm sure the $100 people were talking about sellout theatres in bigger cities and not your little berg, Marvin.

So how are personal insults not to be tolerated when you're calling me an impressionable fool?

I don't usually get into stupidity parades like this one, but here's where I'll quote my post after seeing the movie, and bold the part that should be interpreted as favourite. I'm sorry that you can't read between the lines of my posts, but none of this really matters in the end now does it?

Well, there's a defense for it when it's my own opinion. Up until this point it's been Blade Runner for me. But after last night I have a new one, and it's The Dark Knight. It's not like I'm forcing the rest of you to declare it your best movie ever. Sheesh, get over yourselves.

I've never played it, and any ROM I've ever downloaded for it NEVER works. Always a black screen of nothingness.

Just because a few of us honestly feel this way about the movie, doesn't necessarily make it hyperbole. I've been waiting for a Batman film of THIS caliber for about 20 years, give or take. I've finally had it delivered to me and I don't see how it's doing any harm to state that fact. Maybe your should keep your pissy litte quips to yourself.

Holy crap. How many times has Johnny Depp played a Birtish character?

I don't think so. I think Batman himself received as much growth from this as he needed. We already know him as a vigilante out to fight criminals, but in this film he's

Complete with the old Thorn in your Eye theme music, heh.
