No its got to do with Slade just not fitting in to well with the style of stories Nolan has done so far.

And I'm really only aware of 1 good fight between these 2, and I wouldnt call it a beat downs on Bats by Slade, and I'm not aware of how many times [as you put it].Care to enlighten me?

I was joking, but:

I can't remember the exact number of times they've clashed, but he's beaten Bats at least twice, every other time has been a stalemate. We're also talking about a man who took down Flash, Hawkman, the Atom, Zatanna, and Black Canary all at the same time and almost stole Kyle's power ring if Green Arrow hadn't stabbed him in his missing eye hole.

But I agree, he doesn't fit the Nolanverse at all.

Thats not the fight I remember, but I was aware of a lost fight.

Just wouldnt characterize it as a beat down

I'm aware of that as well.

Thats my thinking.

We got our villains

http://blog.movies.yahoo.com/blog/435-anne-hathaway-is-your-new-selina-kyle

Ann Hathaway will be playing Catwoman, who will most likely serve as a parallel to Batman.

The other, will be played by Tom Hardy, who will most likely be the main villain, will be everyone's favorite intelligent steroid-induced muscleman, hailing from South America, Bane.

Dear god. No.

I sure didnt.

I knew he would be great as the Joker....just didnt know how great.

I've trusted this director and this cast through two of the finest Bat-stories I've been able to absorb in any form of fiction, written or on screen. I'm not thrilled with Bane as a choice (despite being familiar with both his comic, animated and god-awful Batman and Robin portrayal)...but...my trust continues nonetheless.

I look forward to seeing whatever will be done with these two.

Yes, it's a crappy title, as was the Batman Begins title.

And Riddler is not the villain, sadly.

Kindda makes me wonder if they'll actually go with Catwoman or Bane.

i herd that it will be bane.

Good call on that one. I'm starting to suspect conspiracy.

I completely forgot about that OP. :lol:

If only I had that luck on the lottery.

I hope they use Bane's origin story. That always gets overlooked in favour of the juiced brute intro.

by **NTESHFT** » Sun Jan 23, 2011 8:08 pm

Just like Ledger, I'll bet everyone will be surprised by Hathaway. I feel like they made a good choice. She can't be no worse than Phiefer. I don't know anything about the guy playing Bane, and usually it turns out good. Eckhart doing Dent really worked for me. I just wished he wasn't dead. Two Face was my favorite in the comic. And I hope they do a orgins story for Bane. After Schumacker's (or however you spell it) goof-up, it can't be any worse, either. I would love to see some side characters like Scarface or Montoya and Bullock. I doubt he'll have Harley in there anywhere.

You know, when I first heard that Hathaway would be playing Catwoman my first reaction was "Oh God, why!?" But having seen her in Love and Other Drugs I am fairly confident that she will do the role justice.

Double Negative! My arguement wins! Go-------o victo------ry!

On a side note, is anyone disappointed about it not being Two Face? I'd love to see a gritty, badly disfigured, realistic Two Face with a well rendered double personality complex.

We got 2Face in the last film, and according to Nolan....he's dead.

Well. I'll say this- it really isn't her, it's how she did the part. I don't know if that was her doing or that's how they wanted her to portray the character, but that's not how she is (or was) in the comic, to me. Sorry if it's splitting hairs or whatever. I'm just weird on such things as the Bat.

And YES, i was disappointed over it not being Face!! He is my fav of all the villains in the comic. I was hoping maybe Nolan would bring him back due to Leadger's untimely demise - wow I know a few big words....

The problem with Two-Face...well, you know how he fell off that building then stopped moving? Yeah, he was dead. Nolan had to explain this to people in-depth. "Oh, but Batman didn't die from it!" Batman is in peak physical condition and was wearing advanced body armor, and is capable of surviving falls that would break another man's legs. (Which was shown earlier in the film)

Maroni fell from about the same distance (in my opinion) at the club, and he survived. No armor or nothing......

Maroni didn't have half his body burned off and didn't have a guy in body armor land on him.

Sorry, but it was nowhere near the same height.

I had considered saying that, but then it's been a while since I watched the movie and I am horrible at judging distance.

I can judge distance enough to know there was a sizable difference.
