It may be mind numbingly obvious, but there is a sense of professionalism in writing out the full location. It is an espionage film after all.

Great pics, Harmsway.

This is indeed sad news. Most of the f/x crew on Batman also work on the Bond films. They still haven't released the name. My deepest sympathies to those who knew this person.

[Monsieur B]

Harms, those are some amazing pictures! I'm really looking forward to TDK! Although from the looks of those pics, TDK looks much lighter in terms of the atmosphere. Don't see much of the dark, shadowy scenes. But yes, these are only a select few pictures of what could be a (what?) 3-hour movie, if I've been reading the last page or so of this thread correctly. So I'm sure we'll see a great deal of the dark and gloomy Gotham.

I must say that Ledger looks really good as the Joker! The costume and make-up really seem to gel with Nolan's 'realistic' take on Batman. Ledger's performance is probably the biggest thing I'm anticipating about TDK. From what we hear of his voice in the teaser, he sounds great! Even though that may not be his true voice as it sounds like he's mocking another person (Dent, perhaps?). I'm sure he'll both sound and look absolutely menacing. A true Clown Prince of Crime!

Although I would really love to see TDK be more of an adaptation of THE KILLING JOKE, I wouldn't mind at all if this were more in vein of THE LONG HALLOWEEN (for the Dent/Two-Face transition). Both are great comics! Even though I would much rather have the Two-Face story be in its own separate film (as to avoid a crowded film with too many villains, too many storylines as Two-Face's story is a deep one, I think), I'm confident in Nolan's ability. So far, everything he's done has been No worries here!

I wouldn't necessarily take that Latino Review story as rock-solid. I don't think it adds up, and Latino Review's track record with DARK KNIGHT scoops has been really dubious.

Spoiler

For example, one problem is that the Joker's crew for the bank robbery is six guys, total, and they're just holding bags. How can they possibly load enough money from the bank to seriously put a dent in Gotham's criminal element? Not to mention, how would you steal only from the (separate) criminal gang accounts, since there are about five different gangs? You'd need to take out a lot of cash, and this bank robbery doesn't take that long. Hell, the bank probably doesn't even have that much cash on hand.

The Joker's bank robbery does indeed open the film. That has been known for some time and was even publically reported a while back. It's a great scene (the Joker has a wonderful introductory line). But the motivation, as presented in the Latino Review article, doesn't wash.

Pft, we should know by now not to take LR's word on anything unless it's casting news, which they are usually correct when they get news on that sort of thing.

But anyway, is anyone else seeing "I Am Legend" in IMAX just to see TDK featurette?

For 65, he looks incredibly good and I don't want him to play a 49-55ish Indy anyway.I want Indy to be comfortable in his skin at 65...and he is still the world's #1 archeologist...Anyway, I haven't enjoyed Harrison's work the last 18 or so years but as Indy he's at his best and it seems ridiculous to me for him to have ran away from Indy all these years...
