Katie don't want to...

Maggie will take it.

Maggie Gyllenhaal will be the new Rachel Dawes!

Says LatinoReview.com.

Ok, I have a dumb question.

Wouldn't it be better to not have Rachel Dawes in the new movie?

I would rather see Maggie play a new character. I don't like it when the actors/actresses get changed from one movie to another for major characters when continuity is an issue unless there is a real reason for it.

James Bond really doesn't have to deal with continuity, so the actor changes there are OK, Richard Harris died, and so he had to be replaced as Dumbledore in the Harry Potter films, and those movies can't be done without Dumbledore. But I don't see how the character of Rachel Dawes is critical to the Batman franchise.

In this case, Bruce Wayne, Alfred, James Gordon, and Lucius Fox are important enough characters to warrant keeping even if the actor changes, but Rachel Dawes? I just don't see it, especially since the character didn't exist until Batman Begins, and Bruce and Rachel broke up at the end of BB.

You're right. I hope they consider it soon.

Aaron Eckhart is officially Harvey Dent.

Aaron Eckhart is officially Harvey Dent.

Interesting choice. Although I would have liked to see Damon or Norton, Eckhart I think will be good in the role.

[Mithrandir01]

I think it will be next smart move in Batman's World... after Bale choice.

It could be interesting news.

I think Dark Knight seguel will be released in 2011 (2005 - Batman Begins, 2008 - Dark Knight).

Frank Miller to direct Batman movie?

Could Frank Miller’s classic The Dark Knight Returns be up for a possible feature film adaptation? The question was asked at this year’s New York Comic Con and Batman producer Michael Uslan gave his glowing endorsement.

When asked about Miller’s involvement as a director in a future Batman franchise movie, Uslan responded:

“I believe in Frank Miller 100%… I think the sky’s the limit in terms of Frank’s talent.”

While nothing is clearly in the works publicly, it seems like a possibility.

Miller’s four-issue comic book miniseries, Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, was first published in 1986. It has since become one of the most popular graphic novel/trade paperbacks of all time. It reintroduced Batman to the general public as the psychologically dark character of his original 1930s conception, and helped to usher in an era of “grim and gritty” superheroes from the mid-1980s to mid-1990s.

Set 20 years in the future, criminals run amok and a gang called the Mutants terrorize Gotham City as superheros are a thing of the past. Bruce Wayne has been retired from crime fighting for ten years following the death of Jason Todd, the second Robin. Despite Wayne’s funding the rehabilitation of Harvey Dent (Two-Face), Dent returns to crime. Wayne dons the Batman costume again and apprehends Dent, but the populace debates whether Batman is a savior.

Please Warner, Please Frank, Let’s get this movie off the ground.

For Dark Knight Returns, I hope not... at least not yet. I hope Christopher Nolan finishes HIS Batman trilogy at the very least. The Dark Knight Returns COULD work but they should wait until Bale is at least in his fifties. Do it 20 years from now with Bale.

Sounds a bit too similar to another DC Comics character Returning...
