Re: The BATMAN Thread
It'll do more than Batman Begins which was hardly one of the big box office films of all time (and also didn't have The Riddler/Joker or Catwoman in it), not as much as The Dark Knight, but what would?
Bane was one of the smartest villians Batman had in the graphic novels which are the source material (Not the 80s/90s films), like guessing that Bruce was Batman.
Holiday if Alberto becomes it, is the perfect the character for a Nolan film and the main villian from "The Long Halloween" which was one of the biggest influences on both Begins and The Dark Knight.
Doing Riddler would be too easy at this point for a Nolan film, it's easy too see what they'd do. Black Mask/Penguin as someone taking over the Mob which was done in the previous 2 is too easy too.

Re: The BATMAN Thread
Yeah it was funny. Nice that they worked in all the elements from Batman's past movies, including 68.
Umm... but not to geek out or anything, but the whole Batman is a sociopath commentary... man nothing will get me riled up quicker. Sociopaths don't care about people. In other words, Batman wouldn't give a damn about protecting civilians. He'd just drop Batbombs and nuke any area with The Joker or Freeze or Penguin or Croc or whoever it happens to be this week.

Re: The BATMAN Thread
The selection of villians is too selective, and will 'cause the film to pull in less box office than the previous two, probably less than even Begins, regardless of Nolan and the anticipation of the follow up to TDK.
You say TDKR will make less than Batman Begins? Do you realize how crazy that is? TDK had some of the greatest word of mouth ever. Sequel openings are based almost entirely on the predcessor's word of mouth, so TDKR is guaranteed a huge opening even without the Joker or Ledger. Bare minimum it opens to is $140m and there is a chance it could open to $180-200 million if WB does a good job on the marketing.
TDK's adjusted opening is already around $175 million and will adjust to around $180 million in 2012 dollars, just to give you an idea of how massive it was and how massive the sequel's potential is. Even with a big drop in admissions, it will still have an insanely huge opening. No way in hell does it make below Batman Begins' $205m total. In fact I will go ahead and say this right now. There is a better chance of it reaching Batman Begins' entire domestic gross in 3 days than there is of it making below that number for its entire run.
