Hardly. It represents the character he portrayed in the movie. You can't play a semantics game here.

... OK, well I have no idea idea what your talking about, but my point was an action figure holding a rocket launcher is bad way to immortalize someone.

Payed off perhaps. Can't imagine a family thinking a toy holding a rocket launcher would be a suitable way to honour their son.

It's not an action figure of Heath Ledger with a rocket launcher. It's the Joker, whom Heath Ledger plays in the movie. The family supports it, there is nothing wrong with it. And I very much doubt the family were paid off.

Exactly. Being paid off is just a ridiculous notion at the very least.

I said they could have been payed off if they had NOT agreed agree to the doll. The last thing the film makers would have wanted would be for the family to be in an uproar over it.

Batman fans have been wondering if the Joker's sidekick Dr. Harleen Quinzel aka Harley Quinn would ever be making an appearance, especially since the Dark Knight is the Joker's big comeback. No one has said anything about Harley Quinn being in any of the films, but Sarah Jayne Dunn's management company spilled the beans!

No double sided tie?! Glad to see they aren't going to Tommy Lee Jones style. If thats true to the style of the character that is.

Yea, Tommy Lee Jones was a joke, it never looked like half his face was gone! :rofl: I always thought the typical Two-Face style was a bit silly with a perfectly straight scarline down his face, and all his clothes double sided. From what we've seen in that action figure it looks great, and realistic, just as Nolan likes it.

ps: I think some comments here need to be cleaned.

Here's a preview of Batman: Gotham Knights, which is a six story animated DVD, each story is also done in a different artistic style. I think it looks pretty good! It's to be released the same month as The Dark Knight. I think the stories also take place before the film.

Whoa, I can't wait for that. :D

Ever since Heath Ledger's death last month, there has been much speculation in the entertainment press about how Warner Bros. might alter its marketing for The Dark Knight. Bat-fans will reportedly get their first hint of this new approach next month.

According to DarkHorizons.com, the next trailer for The Dark Knight is slated to debut with Warners' prehistoric epic 10,000 B.C., which opens March 7th.

The site adds that this new trailer, unlike the Joker-heavy first one, will feature more of Christian Bale and Aaron Eckhart as Bruce Wayne and Harvey Dent, respectively. It was previously reported that Warners had always intended on building the initial marketing phase for The Dark Knight around the Joker before switching the focus to Dent.

Dark Knight director Christopher Nolan has said that while the Joker is an important character in the film, the main story arc belongs to District Attorney Harvey Dent. In the comics, Dent is doomed to become the villainous Two-Face.

^ I really hope that means Nolan will direct a 3rd sequel. I remember reading somewhere that he didn't want to do it anymore as its taken up so many years of his life already. Whoever inevitably takes over, I hope they don't ruin what he started.

Didn't Sam Raimi said there will never be a Venom in his Spider-man movies. Looks like directors are able to lie.

I think if Christopher Nolan did not direct the 3rd film, it'd probably tank like the ones Joel Shumacher did. Nolan's vision is the reason the first film was so successful. We need to stick with the dark theme. I can't think of any other director that could do a serious batman movie. Maybe Sam Raimi, but i dunno after seeing Spiderman 3.

    • Password Safe 3.72.0

      By Copernic · Posted

      Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu. SF936 Notes and Custom fields layout now overlap, selectable by tabs, resulting in a more compact and less cluttered layout. SF935 Autotype: Specifying '\v{name}' in the autotype text will cause the corresponding value to be autotyped.

    • Google DeepMind AI Control Roadmap: When Alignment Fails, Defense-in-Depth Takes Over

      Google DeepMind published a document on June 18, 2026, that may be the most consequential admission yet from a frontier AI lab: alignment training alone cannot guarantee that AI agents will remain under human control, so structural containment must be built before more capable models arrive.............. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318758/20260620/google-deepmind-ai-control-roadmap-when-alignment-fails-defense-depth-takes-over.htm  
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By Taliseian · Posted

      I've got a SoundBlasterX G6 that I use in my streaming setup. Sounds great to me and I've had zero issues with the ancient software package so far in Win11. That G6 has 7.1, Dolby, fully working SPDIF and since it's a USB device it's outside of my rig so I don't have to worry about EMF distortion. Looks like for now this is a pass for me as I think I have better hardware....
