No Robin.

Back breaking...maybe. Batman getting his ass kicked...without a doubt.

PLEASE no Robin. God I hate Robin. He totally cramps Batman's bad-ass style. You know, I hate pretty much all teen sidekicks for that matter. Aqualad, Wonder Girl, Bucky (before he went Winter Soldier), and Jubilee all suck, too.

To quote Nolan himself, "No fucking Robin". He said that from the start, so we're clear on that. Why he went with the addition of Catwoman, I have no idea, but I have total faith in his decisions (unless he's giving a "fuck you" to Hollywood which happens a lot more than you would expect).

It seems like the "8 years off" will make for a compelling transition. Last time we saw the caped crusader he was running from the law while still pursuing criminals, and that maybe he simply got tired of running. The teaser obviously shows us a battered Gordon stating that Batman has to come back. So...does Gordon know that Wayne is Batman? Will Nolan flip the script as he usually does and make Catwoman (instead of Batgirl) related to Gordon?


Of all the footage I've watched there are so many subtle hints, but I have to tell you I'm dying to read the script. As far as I know, the script is under lock and key for now.

Aqualad's actually pretty cool in Young Justice. But otherwise, I agree.

Capote
My wife and I both read In Cold Blood in h igh school and we really enjoyed this. It was really interesting to see Truman Capote being tormented because he doesn't want Perry to die but wants his book to finally have its ending as well.

Wait, lame still gets a 7, not something in the 3-5 range? How bad does something have to be to deserve a 2 or a 1? A movie that killed your dog or dug up a dead relative and had sex with them, respectively? :shock:

Far too many people these days rate things on a scale of 5 to 10. Remember, guys, using numbers 1-4 won't hurt anyone!
