Rappy, are you trying to kill me through laughter? Because if so, you are doing one fine job showing that video of Batman's lost in translation speech while punching the Joker :rofl: !

Me and a friend were talking yesterday about who could be the big villain in the next movie and who hasn't been in any of the others... we finally came down to Mad Hatter.

I forgot where I heard this one, but next film is rumored to have Johnny Depp as The Riddler. Now, if that's real..It is going to be good!

Alongside with likes of clayface, mad hatter, croc. No penguin or catwoman, then its all good.

More Rumors...

Batman fans are petitioning for Megan Fox to play the villain in the next instalment of the movie franchise.

An online poll found Catwoman is the baddie most filmgoers would like to see take on the Caped Crusader ? and the 22-year-old Transformers star is the actress they want to play her.

But producers are said to favour Cher for the role previously played by Michelle Pfeiffer and Halle Berry.

'Cher is [director] Christopher Nolan's first choice to play Catwoman,' an insider tells the Daily Mirror. 'He wants her to portray her like a vamp in her twilight years.'

For the follow-up to The Dark Knight Johnny Depp is rumoured to be joining the cast as The Riddler and Philip Seymour Hoffman has been linked to the part of The Penguin.

Jonny Depp was asked in an interview his response...

Host: Hey Johnny, a listener called in earlier said you have to ask about the rumors on the internet of you doing the Riddler.

Depp: Oh yeah, I heard about that. Not that I know of.

Host: You?d be a good choice.

Depp: It seems like it?d be a fun gig for a while, yeah.

What I dont understand is this obsession everyone seems to have with seeing Penguin, Riddler, Catwoman AGAIN on the big screen??

Sure it would be interesting to see how Nolan fits them into his universe, but for gods sake they've been done to death already - isnt there any interest to see any of the Batman villains yet to make it. Nolan went against the grain in Begins when he had Scarecrow and Ras'al'Ghul as the baddies so whats to expect him to all of a sudden go for these tried and tested (and quite frankly, i find them extremely boring) villains in the 3rd movie.

If they fit into his theme then fine, otherwise leave them out of it. Dent and Joker were necessary to fulfil where Nolan wants Batman to go, I can hardly see:

1) a woman who is like a cat

2) a guy who likes numbers and riddles

3) a man who was brought up by penguins

fitting in anywhere or developing the story already there???

Saying that, I dont think there should be a 3rd movie atall anyway...

SPOILER ALERT!: The following article spoils certain aspects of The Dark Knight. If you have not seen the movie, turn back now!

Aaron Eckhart on Two-Face

Yes, it's true. Aaron Eckhart says goodbye to Batman. At the press day for his upcoming indie film Towelhead, ComingSoon.net/Superhero Hype! talked to the actor who portrayed Harvey Dent/Two-Face in The Dark Knight. He told us he's definitely not signed on for another film and confirmed his character is dead.

Eckhart laughed about how he tried to ask if there was a chance he was coming back and was good-humored about the deadly fate of Dent.

CS/SHH!: Is Harvey Dent alive?

Aaron Eckhart: No. He is dead as a door nail.

CS/SHH!: So he's not coming back?

Eckhart: He ain't coming back baby!

CS/SHH!: I was hoping he would.

Eckhart: No. I asked Chris [Nolan] that question and he goes, "You're dead" before I could even get the question out of my mouth. "Hey Chris, am I?" "You're dead!" Alright, cool.

CS/SHH!: That's not a problem in comic book movies. You could still come back.

Eckhart: I think in contract negotiations it's a problem.

CS/SHH!: So you were never signed on for another film?

Eckhart: No, I'm not coming back. I think unfortunately, Heath [Ledger] was supposed to go on and that didn't work out. I'm nobody. I'm a cog. I have no say over this sort of stuff. I'm sure that there's so many other characters that they could whip together. I heard Angelina Jolie was going to be Catwoman or something like that. I thought that was a great idea. I'd like to be in that one.

CS/SHH!: It must be gratifying that so many people responded to your character.

Eckhart: Yeah, I dig it. Write your Congressman. I like that for the first time in my career I'm getting fan mail from kids and 8-year-olds. "My name is Bill. I really liked the film." I've never had that before. I think that's fun. I think someone told me they're going to be Harvey Two-Face for Halloween which is cool. I said to two kids the other day, "Did you see Batman yet?" Then I come to find out like two seconds later they've seen it four times. People are really going back to see it. My parents saw it I think 12 [times] so far. They're sick that it's going out of the theaters.

CS/SHH!: Do they normally see your movies 12 times?

Eckhart: I don't know about 12, but they like to go see the movies. They like to go see the audience. They like to tell people that I'm in the movie like popcorn people.

    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      Looks like the 7.1 is fake effects, can it at least do real 5.1? It says 'virtual 7.1' in all descriptions.

      You can't, if you didn't notice, it doesn't support surround at all, it's right in the spec list.
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By cleverclogs · Posted

      Hi — I’m always interested in soundcards. Like displays, I just want to know I’m getting as much clean “sonic juice” into my brain as possible as the years take their toll. I’m not entirely sure what to take away from this review, though. It doesn’t really tell me whether the AE‑X is a good product or who it’s actually for. Most of what I’m getting is: there’s a driver to install, here’s what it looks like, and here’s what’s in the box. There’s a lot of emphasis on the SPDIF input. When you mention not needing to switch headphones between console and PC — does that mean the PC has to be powered on just to pass audio through? That seems like a fairly big waste of energy. Is this more something a streamer would use alongside a capture card? How are you testing the sound? (Also, you might want to clarify that you’re using the headphones in wired mode when you mention they’re wireless.) You mention the lack of EMI shielding — how much real‑world difference does that make compared with typical motherboard audio? On multi‑channel: what exactly isn’t supported? Does this mean Windows spatial audio (Dolby Atmos for Headphones, DTS Headphone:X, etc.) won’t work, or just that the card itself doesn’t decode surround formats? And are there any true multi‑driver “surround” headphones left that would even use that? You also highlight support for high‑impedance headphones — but what does that translate to in practice? How does it compare to driving the same headphones from a normal device, and does it make any difference for everyday, lower‑impedance models? In short, who is this card actually targeted at?
