Joel Schumacher Comments On Christopher Nolan’s Batman Trilogy

image

Joel Schumacher is a man shrouded in infamy by the Bat Universe for being responsible for Batman Forever and Batman & Robin — the latter of which was the final nail in the coffin of the Caped Crusader. Schumacher and his Bat-nipples are largely held responsible for destroying the Batman mythos so much that it took 8 years before another Batman live-action film could be taken seriously.

He has given his thoughts to ComingSoon.net on Christopher Nolan’s recent Batman trilogy.

Geek Spotlight: The Best Batman Is…

So, the burning question rages on: Who is the best Batman?

Now this question can throw up numerous possibilities. What does one judge their answer on? Is it which Bruce Wayne is the perfect playboy? Is it which Batman balances the correct tone of intelligence, grit, determination and symbolism? Is the Batman in question judged by his script? Is it the ability to banter with supervillains? Is it a case of familiarity and which Batman you grew up with? Is it simply who has the better jaw? I’d like to think that the answer is made up of a nice amalgamation of all of the above and then some.

Christian Bale Visits Colorado Shooting Victims

Actor Christian Bale spent the afternoon at the Medical Center of Aurora, as well as with victims from the Swedish Medical Center in Englewood, Colorado, to meet with those injured in the mass shooting that took place during a midnight showing of The Dark Knight Rises at the Century Aurora 16. The Denver Post said that Bale spent two and a half hours at the hospital, and besides victims, also met with police officers and emergency medical technicians who were first responders at the incident.

Bale initially requested to not have the media informed, but news of his appearance began to spread once pictures of him meeting with victim Carey Rottman (pictured above) and Swedish Medical staff leaked on Twitter.

A rep from Warner Bros. confirmed that Bale was there “representing himself and not Warner Bros.”

Six New Images For “The Dark Knight Rises” Released

We are getting ever closer to the day that I’m sure that will be in everyone’s diaries, and Warner Bros. are continuing to release snippets for The Dark Knight Rises. Comic-Con International saw no last minute preview, but instead saw six more images from the film released.

Despite not being released until Friday, the film is already getting some nice things said about it too. Perhaps most notable is The Hollywood Reporter’s assertion that the film makes “everything in the rival Marvel universe look thoroughly silly and childish”.

The Dark Knight Rises opens July 20th.

New “Dark Knight Rises” Trailer: ‘I’m Not Afraid, I’m Angry’

Nokia has exclusively revealed a new trailer for the final film in Nolan’s Batman trilogy, The Dark Knight Rises. 

Packed with new footage and some familiar scenes, it’s a great little trailer, showing just how personal the conflict between Bane and Batman will be. Be warned, however, there is a spoiler line of dialogue in this trailer, so if you want to avoid a plot-point reveal, then I’d advise you to resist watching. 

The legend ends July 20th.
