How about the fact that the man that wrote and directed the Dark Knight saying that there will be no Joker in the next Batman movie, which he also will be writing and directing?

ill believe it when i see it, im sure he wouldn't announce it this early on. if anything it would be a surprise. so of course right now he is denying it.

But that is the thing though: he DID announce it. Not once but twice.

Nolan | Empire magazine Interview

Empire magazine recently sat down with Dark Knight director Christopher Nolan to get an answer to this question once and for all, and in turn, Nolan made the fate of the Joker's role in future Bat-film installments crystal clear: "No," said Nolan, with Empire noting a visible discomfort to the question before the Inception director added, "I just don't feel comfortable talking about it."

Nolan: | Inception Premier

"For me, Heath was the definitive Joker. It wouldn't feel appropriate to readdress that character."

i think it's a disgrace to not even have some form of the joker in the next movie. oh well... i wasn't a big fan of the nolan batmans anyways.

there might be a mention of the Joker that could very well happen

It would be a disgrace to recast him. Not to mention not even Levett would want to follow in his foot steps. Heath set the bar dangerously high. Nolan won't recast him, and most actors probably wouldn't wanna replace him. We'll see other versions of the Joker sure, but not the same character from Nolan's world. Like Rappy said, I'm sure they will mention him, but that'll be it.

Regarding casting, Levett would be great as Riddler, hope he gets it. On the same note, I hope there are more villains. They don't have to be major, but just more characters from the Batman universe to run into. I've wanted to Nolan do Penguin since the first one. I wonder why they registered that domain too. Why would Bruce Wayne disappear? It was Batman on the run. He could have just hung his cape up, didn't have to go into hiding, kinda obvious if both of them go missing :laugh:

Speaking of following in one's foot steps. The next director to helm a Batman flick is going to have one hell of a hard time. I would be surprised if there were references to Superman in Batman 3. While Warner obviously wants to pursue a Justice League, and release everything in 3D. Nolan has incredible leverage, if he says no, they will abide. Nolan said many times he likes to think of the characters (batman and superman) as in their own world. Completely disconnected from the others. Although with his brother doing the screenplay and directing Superman he might try and slip some references in :)

I really they don't try to fill it with lots of villans, I mean 2 or more is, imo, not good. They did a well enough job of working two-face into what Joker was doing, but the key there was that it always stayed as more of a subplot and never fought with the joker side/story. I haven't been keeping up with news and i didn't go through all 16 pages of this thread so maybe this info is out there, but whoever the next badguy(s) are I just hope the story doesn't turn out like the older movies.

Both Batman Begins and The Dark Knight had 2 villains. Most likely it'll be the same for the last movie too.

at least bring back two face, he didn't have enough screen time IMO.

It's been confirmed multiple times that Two-Face is dead. He won't be back.

Personally I would like to see Bane come and hurt batman bad as he was ment to. Not in the pos one that Tim Burton tried to incorporate. But the strong intelligent one in Knightfall (where he breaks batmans back and many thought would be the last of bruce wayne as batman, that comic book soared in price after its release, then dropped when bruce wayne put on the batman suit again). Awesome story, IMO.

That was Joel Schumacher. Tim Burton only did the first two (Batman and Batman Returns)

      O&O ShutUp10 3.1.1104 by Razvan Serea O&O ShutUp10 offers a simple yet effective way to take control of your Windows privacy. It provides access to almost 50 privacy-related tweaks, most of them hidden or not easily accessible to the average computer users. Using a very simple interface, you decide how Windows 10/11 should respect your privacy by deciding which unwanted functions should be deactivated. Using ShutUp10 you can easily disable Windows Defender, turn off telemetry, disable peer-to-peer updates, turn off Wi-Fi Sense, disable automatic Windows updates, turn off and reset Cortana and more. ShutUp10 allows you to create a System Restore point before you apply any changes, so that you can revert your system at any time if you run into problems. O&O ShutUp10 is entirely free and does not have to be installed – it can be simply run directly and immediately on your PC. And it will not install or download retrospectively unwanted or unnecessary software, like so many other programs do these days! O&O ShutUp10 Free and Premium The latest version brings O&O ShutUp10 Premium, expanding the app’s long-standing privacy controls with automatic enforcement of user-defined settings. Instead of manually rechecking options after every Windows update, users can set their preferred privacy configuration once—or apply recommended settings in a single click—and the tool continuously monitors them in the background. If Windows 10 or 11 re-enables disabled features or introduces new data collection paths, Premium restores the chosen settings automatically without user intervention. The free version remains available and fully functional for manual adjustments, offering the same core privacy controls for Windows. However, the Premium tier is aimed at users who want long-term, hands-off protection, adding automatic reapplication after updates, ongoing monitoring, and optional notifications to ensure privacy settings remain consistent over time. O&O ShutUp10 3.1.1104 changelog: Added “Show Differences” button in the overview panel “Don’t show again” option for the restore point prompt Ctrl+F keyboard shortcut for search/filter functionality Detection and linking of system-wide and user-specific setting associations Automatic search while typing PREM: Option to preserve notification counters and timestamps across application restarts PREM: Reset blocked settings button in the Settings dialog PREM: Informational message when no settings are blocked PREM: Update check can also be triggered from the menu PREM: Notification deduplication and activity log summary feature Improved L005 “Disable Windows Location Service”: Version-specific split (up to Windows 11 23H2) and new variant for Windows 11 24H2+ L001 (Disable Location): Added Night Light warning to the description in all languages Search now detects setting IDs even when ID display is disabled and offers to enable it Detection and removal of Copilot/AI desktop apps in RecallTerminator Optimized High DPI support PREM: Reset button is now only enabled when blocked items exist – setting IDs are shown in the confirmation dialog PREM: Updated tray icons with higher-resolution versions PREM: Activity Log timestamps now use localized date and time formats PREM: Tray icon status now uses OK/Warning indicators and localized tooltips PREM: Recall folder detection switched to service-based detection PREM: Copilot uninstallation now provides UI feedback and improved verification Fixed Description text was not displayed correctly for the last item and disappeared when clicking the scrollbar Crash when clicking a search result heading or the […] button PREM: Installation path is now correctly preserved during upgrades PREM: Tray icon was not reliably removed when exiting the application PREM: Main window was not displayed correctly in single-instance mode PREM: Incorrect display of the & symbol in tray icon tooltips on Windows 10 PREM: Fixed notification flooding after sleep/standby PREM: Dashboard was not refreshed after applying recommended settings during onboarding PREM: Progress bar was not reset after deleting Recall folders PREM: Fixed service startup failures PREM: Fixed incorrect drift detection when Automatic Protection was disabled PREM: Notifications now correctly count all deviating settings when protection is enabled PREM: Registration Wizard was shown after sleep/standby despite a valid license Download: O&O ShutUp10 3.1.1104 | 76.4 MB (Freeware) Download: O&O ShutUp10 32-bit | ARM64 View: O&O ShutUp10 Home Page | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

      In the past few days I have noticed two odd moderation activities. First, when I posted the term 'White Nationist Christian' it was asterisk's out. When I changed it to **** it was allowed! Second, in the Politics is a ###business thread I was allowed to post that the GOP is a party of p e d ophiles but I was censored  when I posted the GOP are a party of p e d ophile protectors. Wtf Neowin. Please explain.
