The Dark Knight Rises Anticipation Station

I don't think Leo would have been a bad choice...Nolan was able to get an amazing performance out of him in "Inception", I just don't really see him as Edward. He very well could have been epic in the role had it happened. What I find most interesting about the comments is that WB wanted the Riddler as the villain. Nolan and WB/DC Ent must have had some very fascinating back and forth discussions when it came time to talk about what villains Nolan and Goyer wanted to use.
Edward???? Does anyone really call him "Edward". Why not just say call him Riddler? The whole E. Nigma thing sound phony anyway. Almost as bad as Jack Napier or Joe Kerr.

Admiral_Young has a thing about referring to people by their first names.

It appears the movie is going to be 2 hours 45 minutes long.

Thus making it the longest film in the trilogy by a good 10 to 15 minutes, which is cool with me. It needs to be long so that no element of the story gets shortchanged.

It should be however as long as the story dictates; saying that a movie should be a certain length prior to its release strikes me as madness. Let the film speak for itself.

The Dark Knight crawled a little too far up its own ass at certain points for my taste, and a nearly three-hour run time for The Dark Knight Rises gives me some -- just a little, mind you -- trepidation. In any event, I'll just wait and see ... which I suppose is all we can do.
 
My ass is going to be so sore from sitting in those uncomfortable theater chairs for such durations...

Especially since I'll be seeing this two or three times opening weekend.

I don't know-just from the inklings of the storyline I've gotten(while avoiding major spoilers) it looks like a movie that needs a while to do it justice.

Dark Knight could have been two different movies. You could have ended it after the capture of the Joker(the first time, after the car chase), then done an entirely separate one about his escape and the creation of Two-Face.(obviously Ledger's death changed that, but they didn't know it at the time.)

Seems silly when applied to fictional character. They should be called by the name that made them "famous". Edward is a sparkly, sensitive vampire, not a guy who like puzzles ( and crime)

They probably would have been happy with Penguin too, or anbody very familiar to the public. A fly on the wall in that meeting could probably supply you with quotes like, "Bane? Who the fuck is Bane? How are we supposed to market him?"
