I don't know about your family...
Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Official TDKR trailer. Bane looking good.

Does anyone have any idea if Nolan is going to play Bane intelligently, like in the comics? I'm tired of people complaining that he's stupid, and it would be really irritating if the movie went against canon and proved them right.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I recently read Knightfall, and I totally liked how smart Bane was! Why would people say he was stupid? Dude planned the SHIT out of his triumph.

Why would people say he was stupid?
Because he's big and muscular and has a wrestling background. Also, because they seem to not mind talking without citation. Someone just made that complaint on IO9, and their response to me pointing out Bane was intellectual was that that wasn't plausible.
Okay, man dresses up like bat and fights crime at night, and you think a guy with muscles and a brain is what breaks the suspension of disbelief?

Because books.
I can't wait. More Bat!
I watched the John Carter trailer linked on that page, too, and I'm familiar with the story at all, but I like Taylor Kitsch. Mmm.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It's obviously impossible to be both muscley and smart.
