The Dark Knight (SPOILERS)

[Plastic Self-Cleaning Duck]

Age wise he's making it difficult for her to ever show up, at least while he's directing. I'd have liked to have seen your version of that scene though

My understanding of the age difference in Batman to Batgirl was that she shows up in her early twenties after he's been at this crime-fighting stuff a good while - therefore he'd be in his late thirties at least.

Being that Bruce is supposedly still a young man the girl they have in the movie looks the right age for that scenario.  Since there aren't going to be enough of these movies for Bale & Company to get to that point - and they'd have to go through the whole thing with Robin, etc. - there's no chance of that coming to pass this time....but this did start as a film called Batman Begins.   This was meant to be about a time of origins.  Even if we never see the woman Barbara Gordon (Junior) turns into, show us what could have put her on her path.

There are a lot of people elsewhere are lobbying for a Johnny Depp Riddler.  I seriously hope that is not going to happen.  I get the feeling he would just end up hamming the part up far too much.  We already had a Jim Carrey Riddler for crying out loud.

Oh yes I agree there, that would be great, and it was mostly thinking about how little she is rather than how old Bale might end up beingt

I read that and all I can see is Jack Sparrow and Ed Wood....I know it's not fair but it's the truth.

And now I'm looking at Depp's imdb listing and he's rumored to be in a Tim Burton film of the TV soap Dark Shadows movie playing Barnabas Collins?!?!?!?!

Holy shit!

To paraphrase a quote from another DC character based movie, in response to The dark Knight dominating the Box off for a Third week, I never thought this would go the distance. I mean really, third week in and this movie is still going strong. It's totally blowing away last years alleged hit, which I will not mention, In Name Only.

[Ortega]

What about Dexter's Michael C. Hall as The Riddler?

What!!  Oh, I got to look into this!

[Tripe]

Depp owns the film rights. Apparently Barnabas has been a dream role for him for years (don't see it myself but then I don't own the film rights )

Hmm I wonder if there's enough interest in Dark Shadows to start a new thread devoted to it.

YES THERE IS!!!!!!!

[Tripe]

Right you are.

WTF is Dark Shadows?

[RoninFox]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Shadows

It was a horror soap-opera.  Kind of a "One Afterlife to Live" or "All My Vampires".

[Tripe]

A bit like Port Charles  or Passions only significantly better.

Well, I'll never get to see it I think. Even if the episodes are out there somewhere (probably not), do you have any idea how much hard drive space 1,225 episodes would take up (418 gigs at standard quality)?

Also, old shows usually don't do it for me. Too much talking, too slow of a pace. Even a lot of the classics I have trouble sitting through. I'm a very interactive person. Or maybe I just have ADD.

[Doctor Who?]

Well if you hate old shows because of too much talking  never try I Claudius.

it's my favorite drama of all time but it is nothing but talking.
