What if they did robin in a much more realistic role?
Like sort of a behind the scenes in the bat cave giving information to batman when needed because say alfred can't keep up with the technology?
Could that work in this new batman world?
you wanna make Robin a cripple, don't you?
No, it's just that they only way I can see robin being introduced would be some orphan kid somehow stumbling upon the batcave, maybe getting the idea to sneak around the richest man in gothams property to steal some stuff, and then being adopted by bruce wayne to keep him quiet and through constant bugging given some sort of support position to help him, by maybe giving him directions and doing survalliance or something in the bat cave.
I mean, in the semirealistic apporach they're taking with these movies, there's no way they'd have batman just say 'Hey, you're 12, but that's no reason you can't ride shotgun and throw punches with people who even I have trouble fighting.'
But I could see them playing the 'young people are more astute at technology then old people angle'
How is that any better than either the Tim Drake or Dick Grayson origin
I'm just looking for a plausible way that robin could be introduced, and what his role could be, because theres no way they can introduce a 12 yearold ass kicker and still maintain a sense of reality.
But some kid given a menial job could at least be a nod to it.
Also, barbra gordon is in this movie now, does that mean bat girl will be introduced?
Bane or Riddler would be pretty good in 3 but it's impossible to top Joker. I can't help but think of the Spider-Man trilogy in regards to the new Batman series, it seems like it's really hard to make a good third movie.
If you followed the Knightfall story with Bane, it could be really good.
I did read it a long time ago, and yeah I remember liking it a lot.

Mind you, they just need to follow the first part of Knightfall, not two or three.
Why is it significant that Jack has Joker printed on his golf balls instead of his name? Is there some plot point I'm forgetting? I don't want to sit through this garbage.
Um... Jack Nicholson plays the Joker in Tim Burton's Batman? It's his character.
He enjoyed playing the character so now he orders Joker printed on all his golf balls?
It's not very complex.

I remember he had a little kid in his apartment when batman visited.
Yet, the woman playing her is clearly not a little girl.
Which means they either fucked up, or gordon has more then one kid, which is possible because I don't know shit about gordon, and she was away at college or something.
Or she is supposed to be his wife and shares the same name with her daughter.

Duh.
Celebrities mark their golf balls in strange ways so they won't get stolen. They use symbols, a number of dots or a pseudonym to tell theirs apart without other people being able to figure out who it is.
I'm almost positive the trailer will release at 8:28pm tonight. It said this Sunday, and the Joker likes night time a lot more than morning time. I doubt it'll be the prologue.
Man, if I'm in a thread about a movie or a game or a book or something that hasn't come out yet, and there's a spoiler, I tend to assume it's a spoiler.
but how can you be sure?
How can I be sure it's not actually a dumb joke or reference that's not worth the risk of spoiling a major plot point anyway?
I guess I can't.
Well, unless it's in something like this thread, where I don't care about spoiling it. Then I can be sure by reading the spoiler.
You just admitted it's personal preference. Just beause you or anyone else feel that way about it doesn't automatically make me a fool.
I'm not sure what I just admitted was personal preference. My point is, assuming that a spoiler in a thread about a new movie isn't actually a spoiler is pretty stupid.

Jim Carrey would be like The Cable Guy in a Joker outfit. That's worse than getting AIDS from a moose.

Well i'm sorry I don't have the foresight you have. Regardless, just because you feel differently about it is a pretty shitty reason for being an asshole.

you know that casting him would only make you disappointed when he didn't time travel. even though you know the movie has nothing to do with the Doc, you still want it in your heart.
Dick Grayson became Robin because his parents were murdered by petty criminals just like Bruce. Bruce took him in and trained him because he saw himself.
Tim Drake was a kid who figured out that Batman = Bruce Wayne.

Re-read Hush and tell me that it isn't a great premise for a fighting game.
I did read it a long time ago, and yeah I remember liking it a lot.
Say what!?! Who is playing her?
Mind you, they just need to follow the first part of Knightfall, not two or three.
She was briefly mentioned in Begins and I'm pretty sure she was a little kid at the time.
Also Batgirl showing up before Robin does seems like a terrible idea.
Edit: What.

Also Anthony Micheal Hall is going to be in this movie as "Mike Engel" whoever that is.

Jack likes to mark his balls with "Joker".
End of story.
ten years ago, Jim Carrey as the Joker and Cameron Diaz as Harley Quinn would have been great casting
I hope so, having a 40-something Batgirl really doesn't do anything for me.
Carrey isn't evil enough. He never comes off as sinister to me, just goofy and/or annoying.
In my opinion, it didn't completely ruin the film, but it did weaken it.

Wasn't it Sarah?
I'll ask Wiki.
Wiki says that Jim Gordon adopted her after her parents Roger and Thelma Gordon died.

In Batman: Year One, Jim's wife is also named Barbara.
Except ten years ago Jim Carrey wasn't that great of an actor. Now a days, he could pull the part off probably pretty well.
Cameron Diaz... Well, she um... just fucking no.
Dick Grayson became Robin because his parents were murdered by petty criminals just like Bruce. Bruce took him in and trained him because he saw himself.
Tim Drake was a kid who figured out that Batman = Bruce Wayne.
The Mask is such a good movie.
If I remember, it wasn't that difficult either...
