You could go even further and saying he's come a long way from being the fat kid from The Amanda Show (which was far better than Drake and Josh, I have to say)

Why did Fringe get moved to Thursday? Anyone know? Also, I was really hoping Dollhouse would be moved out of its Friday night deathslot. Guess not.

That show was one of the few good shows on TV last season...

Seriously... stop posting. =/

And the same was said about TDK after Batman Begins became a cult hit. They couldn't possibly top Batman Begins. TDK did top it, however

Please read my above post. I'm 100% sure that this isn't a new Batman.

I'm going to assume you meant to post this under the original poster and not myself. Either way though... you're the dipshit here. You don't go around calling people "retards". You don't put an exclamation point at the end of each sentence either.

Oh and suggesting that someone go see Star Trek being used as an insult? You either are a Star Wars nerd afraid to admit that this new Star Trek film is the best Star Trek or Star Wars film in a few decades or you are a Trekkie/Trekker who is desperately trying to hold on to the past.

Go troll somewhere else. Coherent and well thought out comments are one of the cornerstones of this great site. Don't ruin that.

Why would they be shooting in so many countries? Gotham is entirely shot in Chicago and any Batman film almost -has- to be shot 75-80% there. I mean, yeah the first two films had quite a bit of Asia in them but if they are scouting Canada and 4 other countries, it cannot possibly be Batman 3.

Oh. And let's look at the cast. Ken Watanabe died in Batman Begins. Michael Caine has said repeatedly that his character has a very small role and would require only a day or two of shooting (Alfred is in probably 40-50% of TDK for comparison). Just those two right there make it insane to think that this is Batman 3. Not to mention having two actors commanding somewhere in the $20 million range isn't financially feasible especially given that much of the hype surrounding TDK and much of the reason it had such a huge opening weekend was because of Ledger's death. They don't have that this time around. Batman 3 will be huge but I don't think it could possibly top TDK financially.

So can we please stop saying this is Batman 3? It isn't. Nolan is allowed to film other things. His two best movies, in my opinion, weren't even Batman. They were Memento and the movie he filmed between Batman Begins and TDK - The Prestige.

EDIT: Forgot to point out that with the cast, why bring in so many more actors? Leo could play the villain, sure. But Ellen Page, Marion Cotillard, Tom Hardy, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt? There's no need for them. You already have Gary Oldman, you already have Richard Alpert as the mayor, you already have Morgan Freeman. Combining this cast with the cast from TDK would put the budgets for salaries alone above $100 million. That isn't exactly something movie execs would want.

Glad to see Bettany getting a starring role. He's a great actor who seems destined to act in the shadows of stars just because he isn't a big enough name to hold a movie at the box office.

The movie looks great, btw. I'll have to keep an eye out for a release near me.

In the book, I am pretty sure several creatures are called "fell beasts" by various characters (mostly Gandalf, though) throughout the 1000 or so pages. I am pretty sure the Wargs are called that sometime during Two Towers and I think one of the dwarves called the spiders in Mirkwood in The Hobbit fell beasts as well.
