Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell  

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

I was going to call him a douche, but "scrunt" is a much better word.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I don't know a whole lot about Batman, other than what Joe has told me and what I have gotten from the movies. But first of all, I was really hoping the Batman Begins fanchise would NOT do The Joker. At least not for awhile. Every other franchise has done him. Find someone else. Give The Riddler another shot without that jackass Carey effing him up. Do Two-Face again. Good lord, try Poison Ivy again. But anyone, anyone but The Joker.

Second of all, Heath Ledger? SERIOUSLY??

I think that just because the Joker is in the film doesn't mean it's going to be all about the Joker.

True enough, but I'd rather not see him at all.

He does team up with criminal Gotham fairly frequently.

Did mention of the Joker mess up BB for you?

If that leads to Michelle Williams as Harley, I think I'm okay with it.

It'd surprise me if no big bucks director ever got shown the door, but it's not something I have ammo for.

Oh, you can certainly be crazy (or drunk) enough to get booted, because then you're risking their investment (and, by extension, their jobs). But I think they're willing to overlook bruised feelings when they can soothe their egos with piles of money.

Was he mentioned? I honestly don't remember if he was.

Where was he mentioned? Some scene at Arkham?

I guess I wouldn't mind if there were like, little clues that were mostly asides and ignored by Bats. A bit of foreshadowing, if you will, for a lter movie.
