WE TOTALLY FUCKING CALLED THIS SEVERAL MONTHS AGO.

[evilhippo]

I'm sorry, but all I can do is sit here snickering over this: "Christopher Nolan, I may be willing to have sex with you." You sound like you've been burdened by this for so long and you're finally resigning yourself to it. I'm just picturing him hanging around making you Batman movie after Batman movie because you tried to let him down easy at first but he never really got the hint and now all you can do is shrug and go "Okay yeah fine, you earned it. No one else is going to put all these people in a Batman film for me." Don't settle, Ange! (-;

The list of set pieces and people I will be arrested for licking grows longer still. They'd better start filming this summer. In front of my building again. Also part of the reason my bike is matte black may have had something to do with the ease with which I could lend it to Batman if need be.

XDDDDD Oh come on now, I can hardly say no to him after this! I am a woman that can be bought, with the right currency... and you have to admit, he's done the work. Memento, The Prestige, Inception, and the god damn Batman cinema renaissance, plus casting a whole slough of famazing actors, including some of my very favorite talented eye candy, I mean, Cillian Murphy. Cillian Murphy. And probably a future full of Superman. That's gotta be worth a date at least, right? (Although, I dunno, maybe I should hold out, see what else he brings me.)

Notice to my future courtiers: you must make me at least one truly excellent Batman film if you even want to have a chance. Alternatively, have the ability to spontaneously set things on fire.

Ohmigod, the Batbicycle! THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN. Just leave it lying around seductively on or near the set; I'm sure Batman will not be able to resist! (Or I could put in a good word with Nolan for you.)

[harechan]

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Words. I don't have them.
Joseph as Edward Nygma? Yes, please! Pleasepleasepleaseplease!

[zolac_no_miko]

I KNOW, RIGHT?!

...Unfortunately, now that I've calmed down a little, I seem to remember Nolan announcing that the Riddler was not going to be appearing in TDKR quite some time ago, well before the Tom Hardy/Anne Hathaway casting announcement. So. THIS MAKES ME SAD. ...But! When it comes right down to it, I could really care less who Joseph plays in this movie, so long as there is more JGL in my life, omg. Especially JGL in a Nolan movie in my life. With a side of Tom Hardy, and probably Cillian Murphy as well.

[drownedcities]

He had better be the Riddler because if I hear one more rumour about Johnny Depp playing him I AM GOING TO FUCKING PUNCH SOMEONE IN THE GODDAMN SHIT BALLS.

[zolac_no_miko]

Actually, now that I've calmed down a bit, I remember that Nolan announced that the Riddler would not be in TDKR, like... quite some time ago. So, no, Johnny Depp will definitely not be playing the Riddler in TDKR, old rumor is very very old. But that means I have NO IDEA who the hell JGL is going to play. Basically, though, I DON'T CARE. JGL~! <3 <3 <3

[drownedcities]

I'm not too picky about who he plays, as long as there's no Johnny Depp. I hate Johnny Depp with this weird burning passion. B|

[zolac_no_miko]

Yeah, you know, it's weird... Depp used to be my favorite actor, like, I adored him for many many years of my life. And even at the time that I first heard that rumor, I liked the idea. But. Just, like, in the last year or so, I've gotten... tired of him. Mostly tired of the Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham-Carter, and Tim Burton show (I used to love Tim Burton so much too!). It's just been... over-done. And he's, like, EVERYWHERE. I liked him in Public Enemies, and Rango looks like it might be cool, and I'll probably see the Pirates film even though I'm dubious about it, and I still love all my old Johnny Depp films, but. Yeah. I don't really need huge piles of Johnny Depp in my life anymore.

[sirona_gs]

BB, I was wondering when you were going to post this! :DDD

Personally, I don't really care which role JGL gets, because Nolan's fairly laid back about allowing the actors to make a role their own, and whatever it is, JGL is going to make it ALL KINDS OF AWESOME.

And also? JGL and TH get to be in a film together again. OH, IT'S CHRISTMAS. <333 I'd be hoping for on-set pics, but this is a Nolan film and those will be decidedly thin on the ground. STILL, I'M NOT WITHOUT HOPE. MOAR SHADOWBOXING PLS, BOYS.

[zolac_no_miko]

...Why, did you know about it already? As far as I know the information only came out on the 1st, yeah?

Yeah, and actually, I remembered that Nolan already said that the Riddler wasn't going to be in TDKR, so... I have no idea. And while I still really like the idea of JGL as the Riddler (he'd be PERFECT, omg, you have no idea)... yeah, I'm with you, I just REALLY DON'T CARE as long as there is more JGL in my life. More JGL in a Nolan movie in my life. More JGL in a Nolan movie with Tom Hardy in my life. ...More JGL in a Nolan movie with Tom Hardy and probably some Cillian Murphy because Nolan really can't resist a Scarecrow cameo in my life.

[sirona_gs]

Nah, I only found out about it last night -- but I was sure that you'll hear about it and proceed to squee for some time! XD

[zolac_no_miko]

Well. YOU WERE CORRECT. :D
