The Dark Knight Rises

[Seth]

I want a plot driven batman movie since it's the 3rd nolan installment.
Also, Rises is an awful name. When i first read it I thought I was misreading. Don't really care, but it is bad. They might as well have titled it, "The Next Batman without Joker as the Overwhelming Antagonist"

I have a feeling it's going to change but these types of news releases usually aren't made until they've made up the minds?

Bale's batman is awful, but I don't really blame him for it, I blame the director who has been to scared to push for a more dynamic performance. It's like he's worried about overstepping the 'seriousness of bruce' or something. Wouldn't it be great to have an emotional connection with the already alienated billionaire? Possible only if he doesn't dish each line in the marlboro, 10-drinks the-night-before voice. But, according to the title continuity reigns.
