I don't mind a new batman personally for a 4th movie later though.

But which director would ever want to try and follow in Nolans shoes? Talk about a tough act to follow. At least when Nolan had a go at redoing the Tim Burton movies he made it less comic book, and more dark.. not sure what take anyone else would be able to have on Batman next?

That's true, but if we're talking a 4th movie and not a reboot then Nolan can just move over to the executive producer role and the new director, whoever it is, can just stick with the same dark Nolan theme and not change the formula at all. Only reboots need to redo things but a sequel can stick to the same format without issue, and in the end it works great so why change it?

I certainly don't want them to continue on in this vain. But I don't see why there has to be a complete "reboot". A new intepretation doesn't need to start at square one again.

Agreed. Just look at Spiderman/Superman. I'm tired of rebooting franchises simply to try and gain a new crowd or because sales weren't as high as expected. They need to find someone who can continue on after this movie. I'm sure there is someone that could do it.

Well I don't mean that I want a fourth film in this series(dunno if that's what you meant). I'd like to see a new batman that doesn't relate to this series, but also doesn't start at square one.

And I'd like to see it go the opposite route and be more fanastical like the comics. Villians like Clayface, Killer Croc, etc, would all be great to see in live action with out trying to make it "realistic".

What? People didn't know this? I guess maybe I just follow the comics too much when it comes to batman but those two come very close to hooking up for good iirc. Besides, as of now, comics wise, I think there's a different catwoman, just like there's been 5 or so Robins to date.

I'm certainly well aware of their relationship in the comics, but that doesn't mean that Nolan followed the comic strictly. The trailer shows that he certainly kept her as an on again, off again ally, and we'll have to wait and see if they do become romantically involved.

I went to the National Media Museum earlier this week (brilliant place to go if you love all media-related things (Y) ) and grinned when I saw this nod to the film in the room where the IMAX projectors are kept inside the museum ....

The image has a bit of noise due to the digital zoom being used on my iPhone as the boxes were far back in the projector room but if you can't read - it says "Dark Knight Rises Black Eye" :p

Character posters awesome, movie poster not so much. But that's only because I have seen the previous posters. For the general public that makes WB straight cash, they don't notice. Or WB hired summer students from a digital art school and this is the result of their Photoshop project.

      I agree. I also think Phil stayed too long. They should definitely fire whoever thought all a console platform needed was Call of Duty, Elder Scrolls, and Fallout to survive. Asha and crew are still saying they need more Elder Scrolls and Fallout games. They simply don't get it.

    • Mozilla highlights Firefox Nova 2026 redesign and more upcoming features with new roadmap

      Mozilla highlights Firefox Nova 2026 redesign and more upcoming features with new roadmap by Sayan Sen Last month Mozilla confirmed that Firefox was set to get a major redesign this year. Dubbed "Project Nova", it can already be tested and will roll out to all users later this year.The idea is to keep the browser competitive in a rapidly evolving internet landscape. As such the revamp focuses on improving privacy, usability, performance, accessibility, and customization. Key privacy features including the built-in VPN, private browsing mode, and Enhanced Tracking Protection, will be more visible and easier to manage, while users will have the option to disable AI features entirely through a dedicated kill switch. Additionally, the redesign promises faster page loading, the return of Compact mode, expanded personalization options, and stronger accessibility support. You can find the full details in the dedicated piece linked above. In a new blog post today the company once again reiterated on Nova and also emphasized other new and upcoming features like the settings revamp that is intended to make it easier for users to understand browser settings. In order to make it simpler for users to keep up with such features Mozilla today is launching Firefox roadmap. Hence enthusiasts and interested users will be able to check out what's cooking and also share feedback about the upcoming additions. Alongside the roadmap announcement, Mozilla also highlighted what's new in Firefox 152. One of the biggest additions is the arrival of Tab Groups on Android. The feature, which has already been helping desktop users organize large numbers of tabs, is now beginning to roll out on mobile. Users will be able to group related tabs together, assign names and colors to them, and return to them later. Mozilla says support for iOS will arrive later this year. Firefox 152 also introduces the aforementioned redesigned Settings experience. The company says the changes are meant to make controls easier to find and help users discover features they may not have previously known about. Existing preferences are not changing, though they are now better organized. Another notable addition is the new Blocked Tracker Widget, which provides a visual overview of Firefox's privacy protections by showing how many trackers have been blocked over time and the types of tracking activity the browser has stopped. Looking ahead, Mozilla revealed several upcoming roadmap features. They include customizable keyboard shortcuts, as well as enhanced PDF editing tools that will allow documents to be split, merged, and reorganized directly within Firefox. The company is also working on bringing Multi-Account Containers into the native Firefox experience thus removing the need for a separate extension. Meanwhile Firefox's built-in VPN is set to expand to mobile devices. Mozilla is also developing AI-powered features like Quick Answers, which can provide concise responses to voice queries, and Smart Window, its optional AI browsing experience that is now available without a waitlist. Finally, a new Power Saving Mode is in the works and will help reduce the impact of resource-heavy tabs on mobile devices in order to extend battery life. The video below summarizes the upcoming changes in an easy to understand format: You can find the announcement blog post here on Mozilla's official website.

      Dead on arrival at that price. Like they missed the mark by multiple hundreds of dollars - this should actually undercut the Macbook Air at $899 if they want any sort of sales / further adoption of WoA
