TWITTER BUZZ: THE DARK KNIGHT RISES (Matthew Modine Edition)

The actor playing Foley/Nixon in Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises, has some VERY strong words for Marvel's The Avengers. "Batman would tear off Iron Man's head and sh#* down his neck."

I didn't realize I had to hate one movie and love the other. I was kinda looking forward to both. Oh well, since I already love Avengers, I guess I'll have to hate TDKR.

Getting old.

It's funny how he mentions Catwoman's high kicks and motorbikes, then asks what's Scarlett got. If you saw the movie you'd know that Widow kicked PLENTY of ass. I'm sure Catwoman's going to kick ass as well but for him to not acknowledge that is just childish.

Marvels the Avengers needs 6 heroes to reach 1 billion, but DC needs only 1 hero to reach 1 billion and thats Batman... TDK FTW!!!

Unlike all the Batman haters out here, Matthew Modine was in the movie, also its likely that TDKR will more than just a CBM. Avengers did good and if a simple movie like Avengers gets that amount of money then it deserves everything it gets, but fanboys needs to chill, because at the end the money goes to the studios and not to the so called fans.

This dude is right about one thing: avengers is straight fantasy. The main draw was the action bits.

MarcoPilgrim - 5/13/2012, 6:20 PM
Wow, looks like theres a nolanite starring in the movie.

If he's serious, then modine seems like a douche.
If the president of marvel can admit that he's super excited for TDKR,
and an actor who is staring in only ONE batman film is talking shit,
That shows alot about him as a person.

Childish...This is NOT Lakers vs. Knicks! We're all on the same team, remember? It's the worst when someone involved with the movies does this, bc then all the bottom-dwellers on the internet think it's ok to act like this too!!!

TDKR will be great but I doubt it will bring down the Avengers box office haul though. :P

Go Modine! I just disagree with the comment on The Avengers onky being for kids. Good for everybody! But THE FIRE RISES!

Why, why and why I love the Batman film series, I loved the Avengers, why did he have to light the match to the arguments all over again.

They are both good films, we don't have to choose people, we can like what we want, without having to hate on something else.

JDUKE25 - 5/13/2012, 6:22 PM
Personally, I think TDKR will be better story-wise, and I think I'll like it more. That type of movie is just something I prefer over something like Avengers, which I've seen twice. But there's no way TDKR is making more money than Avengers.

I'm sorry, I don't mean to troll But do any of you really expect Bats to beat Iron Man? Really? I know the enviroment plays a big part in it (As do all fights) but just about anywhere they would battle, a uni-beam is all it would take, just sayin'.

@ComicsCommando, yep I'm a real dick and if you can't get over my comment which is true then go F yourself.

@Godzilla Very well put, how unclassy is that. However I think it should be stressed that this is one guy, and everyone who was involved in this movie should not be paired with the same brush.

I think he got a little bit carried away, and should be said the likes of Bale, Nolan etc have been doing the normal interviews and have seemingly shown great respect towards the Avengers

First of all its good for the movie business that both movies do well. However batman is the weakest of the justice league and ironman would shit on batman. If the joker in TDK can sit on batman, (at the end) and he is a terrible fighter, then the hulk would rip his limbs off and say puny rodent.
