Amanda Plummer as Wiress is perfect.
But I understand. You gave up everything you had to find me. And you found me broken. It's hard for you.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I've seen the Mackie talks being reported as a done deal, Vortex.
I can't help reading him as small for a superhero, but I also read him as delicious, so I'm adequately prepped for the drool.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Amanda Plummer cast as Wiress.
That is awesome. Also, I had forgotten/maybe never realized that she was Honey Bunny! "Any of you fucking pricks move, I'm gonna to execute every motherfucking last one of ya."

Because books.
I LOVE her as Honey Bunny! She and Tim Roth were fantastic.

So as not to reveal any DKR spoilers, I will let slip only this detail:
Alfred is a Buffista spirit baby - he drinks Fernet.

Jessica,
did you like the film?

I'm still mulling it over. As a piece of filmmaking, it's incredible. But the more I sit with it, the more I find the movie's politics really disturbing.
This Gotham is WAY more explicitly NYC than in the previous two movies, where it looked more or less like Chicago. In this one they did a lot of on-location shooting here, and didn't bother to do any set-dressing, so there are NYC subway entrances, and newspaper boxes with the NY Post in them, and the trash cans look like the ones outside my office, and all the buildings in "downtown Gotham" are real buildings in downtown Manhattan. They also say "Gotham" instead of "Gotham City" which isn't a huge difference except that one is the city where Batman lives and the other is NYC's nickname. And so on. And that made it very difficult for me personally to take this as pure fiction and not political commentary, especially given what I know about how Nolan wanted to shoot certain scenes.
So. I'm conflicted. I want to like it, but I'm not sure I can.

Oh, and to answer a question posed upthread, Bane is quite intelligible. You have to pay attention, but he enunciates very clearly from behind the mask.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Speaking of masks...? I realize this is old news, but I was just reading American Gods, which of course made me think of the Avengers, and I didn't know there's a mythology thing about Loki's mouth being sewn shut, but apparently that is, so maybe there was something about that in the gagging?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I wondered about that, too, Jesse, but I haven't seen anything about sources of inspiration for the muzzle.
