Ryan Reynolds to play... uhm... every comic hero?

^

Michelle Pfieffer & Halle Berry's characters both died before they were able to become Catwomen.
 
Nolan had a good idea for a female character and Katie was brilliant casting, but she married badly.

We really didn't see the same movie. She was awful. She IS awful. She was dumped, I'm sure of it.

Instead of creating a new female lead, which would have been the easier thing to do, Nolan insisted (Too strong? It's not like he says "no" to himself.) on keeping Rachel played by the equally lovely Maggie Gyllenhaal making sure to sign the gal into a two picture deal. Maggs is locked.

Link?

Maggie is a much better actor. Period. Rachel was developed in the first movie so we CARED when she died. She was someone that mattered, maybe someone the audience didn't think they would kill. I can't imagine watching Katie Holmes in Dark Knight. It would be like Sofia Coppola in Godfather 3. (Well, if Godfather 3 was a good movie...)

Maggie is not Catwoman.

It's fanboy nonsense.

I always thought Pfieffer wasn't really "dead", but merely very badly injured. The movie never made it clear. The less said about the Halle Berry version, the better...
 
Ryan Reynolds is a really nice guy. I worked with him wayyy back in 1996 on a tv movie. At the end of an extremely long day we were shooting a birthday party scene in the basement of a house and he started chatted to me, about how long the day was and how hard it must have been on us (the crew) and so on. He came across as a nice friendly guy who genuinely liked people.
 
It's going to be pretty hard for Rachel Dawes to be Catwoman now that she's dead.

As much as I hate to say it, I just rewatched The Dark Knight the other day and noticed that the explosion that killed Rachel came from her right. We saw it blow her hair around, and then the scene cuts to the exterior of the building blowing up. We never see her in the explosion. We only see her next to the explosion. So there is a chance (an itty bitty one, mind you) that Rachel might be alive somewhere.

I don't really want her to be alive, but if they wanted to go in that direction, I think they could find a way to make it work.

What, she would be Rachel Two-Face?

If she was alive, I think that would certainly cut all sort of credibility from the franchise. It's a soap opera/comic book gimmick. Yes, I know it's a comic book movie, but Nolan has gone to great lengths to make this a credible world.

She's dead. The building that she was in exploded and burned.

Besides, where's the proof that Maggie was signed to two movies?

Oh, this is the first I've heard of the two movie thing, too. I'm just saying, from how I watched the scene, some writer could find a way to bring her back if he really wanted to. I mean, we never saw her body. Isn't that a rule? Nobody's dead until you see the body. :p

I'm just afraid that without Rachel, they'll try and introduce some new random love interest, which to me would be worse than having her come back from the dead.
 
What's your opinions on the new wave of comic book movies

Not something I grew up with or have any nostalgia for - call me when Hollywood gets its grubby claws on Asterix (Seth Rogen as Obelix?) or maybe Hollywood does Enki Bilal! and then I might react. It doesn't help that a couple of the comic book premises - such as America's pulpy spin on Thor - sort of irk me in general. Mostly it's guys in bright silly suits and anthropomorphic names beating up other guys similarly attired.

Consequently I haven't even seen many of these movies. Ang Lee's Hulk; which wasn't good, I turned off the TV midway through the first X-Men, which bored me, Iron Man had a nice performance from Robert Downey Jr. but mostly when he's a rich prick, and so on.

That said, the Nolan Batman films have been a lot of fun, as was it's prequel; and the Hellboy films were passable enough. I'll probably go see the third Batman film without fail.

Do they just need to stop?
I'd like to see a slew of films copying Avatar instead. Like that John Carter of Mars film in works. Less superheroics, more planetary romance, please!
 
Well, not really, but he is playing both Deadpool and the Green Lantern.
There's also this...

I wouldn't mind seeing him as The Flash. He actually seems more perfect for that than for any of the other superheroes he's done.
 
Okay that looks fun^

As for Ryan playing everyone, call me when he does the world's finest movie by himself. You know as Clark, Bruce and Lois. Or just when he plays Deadpool, please let that be a good.

Just out of curiosity, there was a rumour going round 'bout him having to drop one role to play the other. Has that rumour gone now or does us getting GL mean we're not getting DP?
 
Will he want to do Deadpool when Marvel lowballs him and offers him a fraction of the salary he's getting for Green Lantern? Oh, wait, Deadpool is part of Fox, not Kevin Feige's Marvel.
