About Robin:
"There is a lot of rumors, people like to talk about Batman"
Jay pointed out that the answer was a political one, and that he didn't say "no."

JGL"Well, it is flattering, people do like to talk about it," Gordon-Levitt said. "Batman is a very important character to a lot of people. It's important to me. I've loved Batman way before Christopher Nolan was making movies about him."

Jay Leno:"Before it was fashionable to like Batman."

JGL responded, "It was always fashionable to like Batman. He doesn't go in and out of fashion. He's just classic."

About The Joker Heath Ledger's Joker.

JGL:"I think Heath Ledger's Joker is probably one of the coolest things I've ever seen."





The Dark Knight Rises is scheduled to hit cinemas July 20th, 2012, and will feature an all-star cast that includes Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Gary Oldman Marion Cottilard, Anne Hathaway, Josh Pence, Tom Hardy, Morgan Freeman & Jospeh Gordon Levitt.

Cool, would've been nice to hear him elaborate more but that's what happens when the clip is only 50 seconds long...

And, i like this guy, he seems to have genuine respect and love for the character..."Batman is always fashionable..." <- Win

He's playing Peter Parker oh wait wrong movie( wouldn't be a bad choice for Parker IMO) its [frick]ing obvious who he's really playing I mean look at him he's hit the gym hard he's obviously playing Nolans version of Superman so obvious.

@SaintCrow I Agree with you.. He maybe be Nightwing in the Comics Dick Grayson is A Cop in another city??
Hellsing
Hellsing - 9/22/2011, 7:22 AM
perfect example of a child actor developing in to a fine adult, more young actors need to follow this guys route.
Hellsing
Hellsing - 9/22/2011, 7:25 AM
yes Dick Grayson does become a cop BUT that all comes AFTER he goes through the robin phase. IMO he's either going to be mole in the GCPD or he's either going to be Gordon's protégée, we know Gordons going to get a beating from the teaser trailer so I wouldn't be surprised if John Blake is sort of the Gordon of this movie.

BATMANx - 9/22/2011, 7:35 AM
I think Nolan may have wipe Robin history and He May gave John Blake Batgirl back story. He was inspire By Batman so he Created Nightwing Himself.. Or He could Tim Drake.. all I know hes not The Joker

He probably is just a cop...I mean look at that dude from The Dead Zone that was in The Dark Knight. People kept trying to guess what his role was, like if he was going to be the Riddler and what not. But noooo, he turned out to be a news anchor lol

So dont keep your hopes up people. AT ALL lol

JGL should be fawkin Joker he's heath's twin....

@ironman53 who's to say he's not covering it up with some kind of prosthetics or make up? remember the joker is deceiving.

He IS playing John Blake, but...

John Blake = Nolans' Jean Paul Valley

PLEASE LET HIM BE THE JOKER!!!

Ledger Joker = Extremely over-rated

I would love for Mark Hamill to get a shot at playing him in the post-Nolan reboot/sequel

Robin = Ain't gonna be in a Nolan movie period!

And no Gordon-Levitt isn't right for the Riddler either.

RacerREX and Dionysios if you that heath ledgers Oscar winning performance as the joker is overrated your both sadly mistaken because Robert downey jr is in fact the overrated one as tony stark / iron man .
RacerREX
RacerREX - 9/23/2011, 8:28 PM
DC Fanboy's opinions don't count Batman92. The only reason he won an Oscar was because he died. All the buzz and box-office surrounding this movie were a direct result of his death. If RDJ would have ODed after completing IM he would have won a posthumous Oscar too.

RDJ is not gifted enough to ever win the academy award .

Everytime you open your mouth you show your ignorance. RDJ is a clearly talented actor and quite capable given the right role to win an Oscar. Your personal taste and or dislike regarding him doesn't alter that fact.

As far as Heath's Joker I never said he wasn't talented or did a crap job in the role. I only stated it was OVER-RATED. Because we ALL get so sick and tired of it being heralded by every Nolanite, and DCfanboy, as the greatest acting performance in a CBM to date.

I actually liked it at the time, and after multiple viewing I still feel Heath did a really good job. But it was not the groundbreaking triumph of acting genius that many on here put forth on a daily basis. Was it Oscar worthy? Probably. Groundbreaking? Meh. IMO he only won cause he died.

I can't wait to see the response of you of the DCFanboy nation, when TDKR comes out and doesn't do 1/2 the box-office that TDK did. You see, because in this one none of the actors died at the perfect time to ignite a world-wide interest in seeing it. What will you say then? And funny how you guys tout that Oscar Heath won but we never hear any of you praise Bale's acting.

RDJ acts circles around his throat cancer Batman portrayal.

Everytime you open your mouth you show your ignorance. because RDJ is a clearly an overrated actor yeah
due date and Sherlock Holmes games of shadows are real Oscar roles heath ledger shocked the world with his greatest acting performance in a CBM to date that is why he won actors die every day they gave heath his Oscar not because he died but because he was an artist when it came to acting nobody in his category deserved that more then Oscar winner heath ledger .
