Bane: You can't stop a flood.
Batman: I'm Batman, I can stop anything! I'll just freeze the flood with my bat freezer missile launcher.



Mr Freeze: Did someone mention freeze? I'm so happy now!

@ManOfKrypton

Magnus in the production title "Magnus Rex" is the name of Christopher Nolan’s son

Inception production title was called "Oliver Arrow". the name of Oliver is Christopher Nolan’s other son

Please stop using the word epic. It's been completely used up. Also, you don't think the flooding would be for the batcave? just a thought.

@marvel72, but yes it is, face this fact, mate! Do not agree? Then, sit down quietly and wait for the reboot... will take a while.

A lot of good news today.

We got an Avengers poster and all of their costumes look great
And a flood scene in a Batman movie sounds cool.

It's been a good day.

@BooYah, agreed, man, agreed. AND there is a trailer mashup of Star Wars/Drive!

Hmm, is this where the first encounter of Bane and Batman happens? I assume the fight scene we see in the trailer is going to be at the beginning of the film.

meh this and man of steel have crushed my faith in dc comics movies.

SigmaCenturion Two films that aren't even finished filming has crushed your faith in DC? As opposed to an actual DC film that is out like, say, Green Lantern?

Interesting.

@neobaggins no that shattered it.

@ HangoverWillie

i don't want a batman reboot not for at least five years,but knowing warner they're gonna jump at the chance to churn out another batman film.but this time they should think about some "unrealistic" villains for a change i.e killer croc,clayface & pioson ivy obviously joker will turn up in one of them.

reverendjonnynemo - 8/26/2011, 3:16 PM
wow... the film permit notice even has the title magnus rex; like anyone's not going to know that this isn't the next bat movie... this is the worst security I've ever seen since I threw the cardinal the finger!

(in all fairness, the altar boys did put up a good fight)

this is what I picture when I see TDKR news headlines now:

@marvel72

no Clayface and Killer Croc can be realistic cause the character in a few Batman comics has a skin disorder.

@SigmaCenturion

u cant be serious only based this on set photos. sorry but TDKR and Man of Steel will be great since its been co-handle by Legendary Pictures.

SigmaCenturion
SigmaCenturion - 8/26/2011, 4:45 PM
@jazzman hey im not a fan of either movies choices for costume designs or characters. they have already shown those in the set photos and i dont think any amount of movie magic will make either enjoyable to me.

bobevanz - 8/26/2011, 5:40 PM
@sigmacenturion so why are you even here? Hmmm to troll perhaps? ^_^ as long as they don't do something drastic like kill batman or some bull *ahem* x3. Having said that, bring on the dark knight returns with the only true batman, michael mc[frick]ing keaton!
