Well Dark Knight is the only other film since Star Wars 1977 that I have seen twice at the pictures.

I HAD to go and see it at the IMAX in Manchester, for the full effect.

Defo in my top5 films of all time.

And if you have IMAX near you....just go and see it. It's a MUST.

/Film reader Tony F sent us some photos of what could be the inevitable gift sets and box art for The Dark Knight?s DVD / Blu-ray release. We?ve heard that Warner Bros wants to release the film on home video in December (we?ve heard December 8th), to take advantage of gift seaThese have NOT been confirmed by the studio, and very well could be fan creations.s.

But for now, lets just pretend they are real. The most impressive of the bunch is the 2-Disc BatPod Collector?s Edition, where the two discs are housed in the base of a BatPod display (which looks roughly 1:18 scale).

Former Tori Spelling deflowerer, turntable spinner and current Terminator TV star, Brian Austin Green, has thrown his hat (sideways baseball cap?) into the casting ring for Batman 3. B.A.G. was wowed by Heath Ledger?s performance in The Dark Knight and feels deep down he?s the right thespian to play The Riddler in the next i

?I would love to be the Riddler,? Green told MTV in all seriousness. ?I hope to God they don?t replace Heath and have the Joker [again]. So they need a new villain and The Riddler makes sense. ?[My Riddler] would take years of preparation. It?s tough. Heath set the bar a new level.? the bar a new level.?

Why'd they take a picture from so long ago, ugh.. He's not bad, but I don't see him fitting the role, I think you need someone more tall and skinny. Riddler would be cool because hes a crafty villain, but I'd like to see someone more violent. Joker was cool and all but he had to use other people to get the majority of stuff done, I'd like to see a villain who was the focus. Reworking Freeze could be cool as long as he didn't walk around with a chrome cold suit. Catwoman would be nice, mostly because I'm sick of Maggie. I want some eye candy in the next one dammit.

Anyone a comic buff who can think of possible other villains than ones already used in movies?

Nolan's Bane could be cool. Penguin would be great to takeover the Mob family in the 3rd movie. Headhunter would make nice new addition as a hired hitman. The Wrath would also be cool as a criminal hell bent on killing cops. Thats all the wikipedaing I can do for now.

Knowing RDJ's attitude - I think exactly the same!

As for Riddler? I found the character to be too close to the Joker in theme (a LOT lighter though). Nolan has said he doesn't want the "campy" characters. He has also said that he doesn't want to do another Joker (he considers the character a one-shot deal - nowhere else to take him - an icon but not with staying power).

I'd like to see some of the more undevelopped characters, the less "gimmicky" ones. Turn the Batman franchise into a mob/crime one, not a comic book again.

I agree, the Riddler would be to much of a watered down joker, he was also obsessed with finding out who the bat is. However It could be done Nolan took a different path towards the Riddler. After His take on the joker, I don't think there's anyway Nolan can dissapoint us :wub:

I really think a Hush character would be amazing. Look up his story. Also, him and the "Zodiac Killer" like Riddler would make a great team.

'Dark Knight' Script Answers Highly Debated Question: Did Harvey 'Two-Face' Dent Live Or Die?

Despite memorial service in the film, many fans thought villain would return for 'Batman 3.'

By Shawn Adler

It's already the second-highest-grossing movie of all time, a gigantic cultural juggernaut that will soon break $500 million domestically. If you haven't seen "The Dark Knight" at least twice, well, you haven't really seen it at all. And, yet, for some people, the ending of the latest Batman film is still a complete and utter mystery, especially regarding the fate of Harvey "Two-Face" Dent, the villain played with such delicious glee by Aaron Eckhart.

(Massive spoilers ahead if you're one of the two cave-dwelling people in America who has yet to see "The Dark Knight.")

Does he die? Does he live? Even though he falls from a great height at the end of "Dark Knight," and even though there's a memorial service in his honor soon after, and even though it seems bloody obvious given Batman's sacrifice (can you tell which side we believe?), fan opinion on the matter has been bitterly divided. On MTV Movies Blog posts about potential "Batman 3" villains and themes, commenters argued back and forth over the matter, refusing to budge on what they think is right.

They might not have budged before, but now, like Dent himself, they have been pushed.

The script for the blockbuster sequel was made available for purchase on Tuesday and soon after found its way online. It's a long read at 167 pages, but fans looking for confirmation on the fate of Dent need only look at page 163.

"Dent lies at the bottom of the hole, his neck broken," the stage direction, written by brothers Jonathan and Christopher Nolan, reads. "DEAD." (Capital letters their emphasis, not ours.)

Although some already are arguing that because it refers to the character as "Dent" and not "Two-Face," it's possible the villain could make a return appearance, but Gotham's D.A. is always referred to as Dent throughout the script, even after his transformation.

Now that Dent is definitively dead, does it change fan opinion of the movie or mean something different for the franchise moving forward?

    • Zed 1.7.2 has landed with updated OpenCode models, bug fixes and other improvements

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Zed 1.7.2 has landed with updated OpenCode models, bug fixes and other improvements by David Uzondu Zed 1.7.2 recently landed on the stable release channel, bringing a host of AI-related features including automatic context compaction and settings-based skill management, along with other things like better Markdown preview rendering and custom git commands in the graph view. Starting with the AI stuff, the developers introduced "/compact", a command that basically summarizes your conversation history on demand. This tool prevents your active chat window from hitting token limits by compressing older parts of the dialogue into a brief overview. In addition to that, the team relocated skill management to the settings UI, improving how the application communicates errors regarding those skills, and updated the OpenCode model roster to support DeepSeek V4 Flash, MiniMax M3, Qwen 3.7 Plus, and Nemotron 3 Ultra Free. External agent users can also monitor context window cost metrics and delete individual sessions directly from their history. Right-clicking ref labels in the git graph now opens a context menu that runs different actions against selected targets, kind of how VS Code does it. Here are some of the bug fixes this new release brings: The active agent fails to auto-select when creating a new git worktree. A scrollbar unexpectedly appears on wrapped code blocks in the agent chat. Collapse indicators for project headers appear when performing sidebar searches. Bracketed ellipsis title prefixes fail to show the ellipsis icon properly. Project icons render incorrectly in the recent projects picker. Diff hunk controls appear inside non-editable commit view multibuffers. The software update button hangs indefinitely on the downloading stage. Restoring an agent terminal in a remote project triggers a sudden crash. Splitting a pane that contains an active commit view causes a crash. Linux Wayland freezes when trying to read the clipboard from laggy external apps. Zed is a "newish" code editor trying to break the massive stronghold VS Code has on the developer community. Funny enough, the editor was created by former GitHub employees who worked on the Atom text editor (which Microsoft killed in 2022, several years after it bought GitHub). The project officially hit version 1.0 back in April, introducing platform parity for Windows and Linux alongside deep support for DeepSeek-V4-Pro.

      26H2 absolutely will support ARM Windows just not on devices that came with 26H1. This is evident by the fact I am running 26H2, which on my MacBook Neo and Surface Pro 12 (inch), within a VM.

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2, urges IT admins to prepare for release

      By WrongHead™ · Posted

      It’s amusing how Microsoft is pushing IT admins as if this was a major, game-changing update. In reality, it’s just an enablement package that bumps the build number, which is disappointing compared to the more substantial 22H2 and 24H2 releases. Technically, 25H2, 26H1, and the upcoming 26H2 are essentially the same, differing only in support schedules. They could have included the Windows K2 improvements here, but chose not to. The era of Windows being in the backburner continues, and this 26H2 release feels like an afterthought. Shame, Nadella, shame.
