    I think the Penguin would be a very convincing side baddie/mob boss in TDKR. With Phillip Seymour Hoffman using a Cockney accent like in AA.

    Let's talk about ....
    ***SPOILER***
    Let's talk about .... [spoiler] Marion Cotillard's role. Is she really who everyone thinks she is? There's supposedly a flashback scene to a younger Talia Al Ghul and young Rhas. I believe her character is has been left out of the promotions for a reason. Is she out for revenge on Mr. Wayne? [/spoiler]

    It's apalling, I know, but I still havn't seen The Dark Knight yet. Need to get on that before this is released.

    I think you guys will enjoy this.

    Lol, very interesting. I wish when we return to Arkham, we would see some old faces like Scarecrow and Zsaaz. Maybe even some new faces in there such as Calender Man or even Croc.

    from a technical standpoint, Croc already exists in the Nolanverse, as the animated film Gotham Knight is slated as having taken place in between Begins and TDK.

    Yeah it was in the news. They filmed that Bat-mobile in town....could have gone down but I figured it would be difficult to get close anyway. My brother in law washes windows in town and he got a good view....plus buzzed by the helicopters.

    I do not remember that film...sorry

    I've never seen it either. I was just there when they filmed one night. Did you recognize a good bit of the city in the previews?

    I think they did film some parts in Chicago. Funny, I always thought of Gotham as Chicago and Metropolis as New York.

    As I understand it Bob Kane's original idea was just that. Gotham being the comic's version of Chicago.

    I'm certainly glad they used real locations. The models in Batman Begins just stood out too much.
