ick yeah, I forgot about the stripper pole.
Okay, but -- Stark banging the reporter, and having sexy stripper flight attendants is (1) totally in character, and (b) kind of a heavy-handed way to emphasize his Dissolute Ways From Which He Departs After Seeing The Light In Afghanistan.
Plus, I don't actually find the reporter to be a mark in the sexism column. Yes, she sleeps with Stark (but hell, I would, too), but she's also got the connections and the balls to get the pictures that she shows to Tony at the shindig, she's not hesitant to give him well-deserved shit about what Stark Industries has wrought, and she's clearly intelligent.
Just because she fucks a hotass multimillionaire does not make her a character who reinforces sexism.
I didn't think I could get more excited about DK. I was wrong.
The reporter may have pinged me because she didn't strike me as behaving in a professional manner at any point. More like one of the tabloid reporters on Dirt. Not unintelligent, but trying to drum up controversy in yellow journalism fashion rather than keeping her objectivity and clearly using her appearance as a lure to get noticed.

I completely agree with this.

Okay, now I want to read the article. But:
VERY CHARACTER-SPOILERY
Tep, does the title of the article in the URL comprise the brunt of the spoileriness? That is, it implies that
Harvey Dent does become Two-Face in this movie.
If I've gathered that much, is it safe to read?
If you've gathered that much, you're good; the article is mostly about
the techniques they used to make it so.
I'm pretty sure the trailer gives away what you spoiler-fonted P-C. There's a clip of
Harvey Dent on the ground with half his face in a puddle of liquid that gave me the impression it was about to go up in flames.
Ah, I didn't catch that, Laga. I try not to Zapruder trailers to avoid more spoilers than necessary.
*reads*
HOLY SHIT THAT SOUNDS AWESOME.
I try not to Zapruder trailers to avoid more spoilers than necessary.
Me, neither. I mean, there's also a scene in the trailer that I *thought* showed the very edge of some damage, but it was hard to tell, so I just engaged in wishful thinking.
Until now.
Wow. DUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!
I KNOW RIGHT!!!!!!!
