i know there are already two to three other batman 5 threads, but i just had to get this bit of news out that i just read at superherohype.com.
alot of you have probably already have read some version of the summary/plot for the movie, so all you have to know is that this movie is going to follow the early career of the dark knight, batman (christian bale).
here's what Latino Review has confirmed as it says in the Batman Hype! section of SHH:
the scoop: two villians, one love interest, a young comm. gordon and harvey dent.
the cast:
christian bale - batman
michael caine - alfred
judson caspian - viggo mortensen
cilian murphy - harvey dent
katie holmes - rachael caspian
chris cooper - gordon
elle fanning - barbara
noah emmerich - (unknown)
note: the two villian roles is not a for sure thing, so don't get your hopes up.
my opinion: i didn't expect caine, holmes, and fanning to be in this. holmes doesn't seem the comic book hero movie type, but oh well. *shrugs* i'm so hyped that viggo is going to be in this after all! chris cooper was a shocker also.
since i've never read the comics, whose viggo's and katie's characters? is viggo not a villian like i had heard or hoped?
We should make this a note. From that info, I think and hope, that the movie will be based on the Long Holloween. By the way, BOP, what's your name on the hype? I'm Unthinkable.50
can people still reply to this thread when it becomes a note? whose the mod of the batman forums anyways?
what's the long halloween? like i said, i don't read any of the comics, except the ones that are based on the 90's toon.
i'm not a member of the SHH boards yet, but i have looked at it. i'm not sure if i want to join or not, still considering it since i don't know or read much of the comics. let me know what the people are like there. thanks for the heads up on the un, i'll keep it in mind to pm you if i ever join.
more or less. i just tend to read alot of the articles at superherohype.com. i keep myself updated on those things, movie news. so i hit all the major and quality movies sites that i go to.
Long Halloween is a beastly Batman storyarc (13 issues) that follows a mob storyline and guest stars everybody from joker to catwoman to harvey dent (lawyer, etc) and involves the mystery of a criminal named Holiday who, evidently, does his evil only on Holidays... (seems like EVERY holiday...)
Judson Caspian is a char from Batman Year two, he is a death-dealing vigilante with scythes who goes at it with Batman, meanwhile, Bruce falls in love with his daughter, Rachel...
just read some of the new articles at SHH, mostly they talked about some of the movie being shot in iceland for 2 weeks for a scene. the exclusive scoop mentioned that the iceland scene is where: [SPOILER - highlight to read]: batman (bale) will be training to fight by/with Ra's Al Ghul's #1 pupil...whoever that is. also, that the movie's story will take place between year one and year two. so remember the characters who were in at that time! plus, the film is very story-driven and the two years are creatively infused. no news on the costumes, but it does sound quite interesting. the little cliff hanger... by the way, do any of you know when this movie is supposed to come out? the counter says 541 days to go until the release in 2005, next year.
um... he's not a warlock. he's immortal though. i never read the comics so i'm not too familiar with his story, but i watched the cartoon a lot and in it he has this lazarus pit that he keeps going to to stay young and he has a daughter, talya (i think that's the spelling), who calls bruce beloved. um... that's all i can remember right now. but he was very kick @$$
i remember that guy from the toon also, just had to make sure that it was him. i used to watch that 90's toon all the time, i loved it to death! i don't care how many times i've seen any episode, i'll still watch it! ^.^ my fave villians were live wire, poison ivy, and....
