So, does anybody know if Christopher Nolan will be dealing with the Joker and Two Face in the next Batman, as per the rumor I heard a couple months ago? That would make for a pretty claustrophobic storyline. Way too much is going on with both of them to flesh out origin stories and bring in Harvey Dent from scratch. Katie Holmes' DA character felt excessive for that reason (among many others, the least of which being that she didn't even behave vaguely like a DA) and Dent's story takes a lot of space. Especially since they seem to be doing a Year One/Long Halloween sort of thing. Nolan really needs to get his act together on the sequel if he is going to deal with either of these characters. His Gotham doesn't have that much punch or personality and Christian Bale needs to stop playing Patrick Bateman and get some facial expressions. Bruce Wayne might be icy, but it should be clear that the ice is concealing something as opposed to being the whole of the man's demeanor. As for Iron Man, Nathan Fillon may be a pretty good idea, but whoever's chosen needs to be a master of smirking superiority. It would actually be better to do an Ultimates/ Avengers movie, which they would if they had any real insight. Cap is way too boring and straightlaced to hold up his own movie and the Ultimates' new take on Thor is very cool.
