Pity if for no other reason than for consistency's sake.

Okay and because you never got Nolan's autograph.

I noticed Marion Cotillard is listed as part of the new cast. Is it safe to assume it's official now? Of course, this will just add more fuel to the "who is he/she playing, damnit?" fire.

Batman-News emailed the journalist behind the article and she said she got those names (Marion Cotillard and Joseph Gordon-Levitt) from The Hollywood Reporter and Variety.

However, Marion Cotillard just confirmed she's doing a project during the summer but didn't clarify which one, so it's still quite possible she's in the film along with Joseph Gordon-Levitt who seems confirmed.

Pitsburgh eh? Will there be a villain called The Terrible Towel in this? Played none other then by Ben Rothlisberger.

Selina Kyle is at a nightclub and rescues a woman from being raped by Ben Roethlisberger, and thus Catwoman is born.

Except that we're commenting on rumors. Rumors started with websites who say that they're getting information from "studio insiders" and what not. This later turns out to be false in most of the cases. We still end up speculating and debating pretty much nothing really. Then the real actual news blows our mind because we've already been discussing something totally different. It's just frustrating as a fan to know what's real and what is bullshit.

Can we start our own rumors here? Taylor Lautner is the primary villain in Superman and he's gonna be playing Matter Eater Lad, but in the third act he and Superman join forces to fight the true villain of the movie -- Colin Firth's Toyman!!!!

And now I guess we wait and see how many sites that pops up on over the next couple weeks.

It needs to be a somewhat plausible rumor. Like Taylor Lautner being courted to play Jimmy Olsen.

[Admiral_Young]

^ That's more like it. Yeah it has to be a plausible enough rumor to be picked up by "reputable" websites who will then run with it and make it viral. We'll claim to have inside "sources" as well.

Doesn't look like it.

This article says that in addition to Pittsburgh, there will be filming in Chicago, Romania, and England.

[CorporalClegg]

Does that mean Bats is now the man of steel?

I haven't heard anything about filming in Chicago. I've heard about the production filming in New York, Los Angeles, Pittsburgh, England and possibly Romania or somewhere in Asia but not Chicago.

[Admiral_Young]

That's a lot of locations.

Some of that could just be Second Unit though right?

They are doing 2nd unit photography and plate shots in New York right now and will return for principal photography around November. They plan to film in Pittsburgh for four-six weeks, and I've heard England will be some time as usual (they have the Bat-Cave sets on the outskirts of England; they filmed a good deal of The Dark Knight in England). I've also heard they plan on doing some soundstage work in Los Angeles as well. And I'm sure if they're going to a foreign country like Romania you can bet it won't be just 2nd unit photography.

[Admiral_Young]

Do we know where in England by any chance?

[Obiwanshinobi]

Lower Uncton. And if that reference doesn't make sense, umm check out the Married with Children episode where the Bundys win a trip to England.

[Admiral_Young]

So they're shooting in London eh?
