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.

    • The Microsoft Office feature that time forgot

      The original word arts were far more awesome! With their own preconfigured fill patterns, 3D layout, etc, with options to fine-tune their size and colors as desired. I especially loved the ones circled below and still miss them from my primary school years: I frankly use them less these days 'cause the new one isn't as straightforward fine art as what we originally had, taking time and effort to get back to the same graphics quality as the original offered, which I simply don't have enough of for merely fine-tuning my presentation titles. Same with the built-in picarts selection. Bring back the original pre-configured options for word art then I'll be using them far more frequently in my presentations even today.
    • Why you need to take back control of your synced passwords and how to go about doing that

      By +Good Bot, Bad Bot · Posted

      What didn't you understand about that was mainly referring to Google, Microsoft, etc. keeping your passwords. Password Management is a key service of Bitwarden and it's not going anywhere. In any case they do offer export to other Password management services, backup/download of passwords, and the already mentioned on-prem option. I don't agree with the OP to use the free option as it's better to be an actual customer IMO. They don't just don't delete accounts like the big tech companies with no recourse which was the main concern of this article. I was confused if the author was trying to sell this setup? It should be obvious to anyone reading this article this solution is overly complicated and overkill for most users.
    • Ads in Now Playing notifications on Spotify Android mobile app?

      By Steven P. · Posted

      I got this notification just now in Android: So I went in to disable the "Other" or "Marketing" notifications in Notifications management: But it came through the Now Playing? So if I disable that I no longer get what's Now Playing in Notifications? I'm a paying subscriber, not on the free plan... can they sink any lower?
