That's not what usually bothers me about cramming so many villains into one story. What bothers me is that it makes your hero seem invincible. If our hero can fight all these bad guys and win the day, how am I supposed to take any future threat seriously?

I know there are. But many of fans of Knight Rider didn't mind the Mustang.
Secondly, Val Kilmer as the voice of KITT?? Are you kidding me???
It was a circumstance that couldn't be avoided. You see, originally, KITT was going to be voiced by Will Arnett. However, after he had finished recording his lines to everyone's satisfaction, a conflict of interest came up because he was the distinctive voice heard on General Motors car and truck commercials, but K.I.T.T. is a Ford vehicle. So, they had to recast with the next available actor, who was Val Kilmer. Besides, I didn't have any problem with it. And some KR fans actually like Val Kilmer voicing the newer KITT.
Oh and then there's your "sleek and stealthly" comment. Is that what you call this:
Anyone who is a KR fan will know that Super Pursuit Mode has been used strictly as an emergency use or has in a majority of the time when the mission is near completed in an episode. Your picture doesn't count because KITT isn't in SPM all the time because it does tax itself on KITT's systems. It's the same reason why you don't see KITT in the original series driving around in SPM all the time. In fact, if you pay attention to the pilot episode for the newer KR series, KITT had to stop for fuel up after picking up Mike and had been using SPM for an extended period of time just to get to Las Vegas to pick Mike up. Seriously, that's Basic KR 101. But the point of this statement is that 99% of the other time, TOS KITT looked like a normal Trans-Am and the newer KITT looks like a normal Mustang. My comment of KITT being low profile/stealthy didn't mean ALL the time, only a majority of the time. When a cop is undercover, he doesn't wear his badge outside his clothes all the time, only when his job is near completed and is about to arrest a bad guy or in a case of emergency.
And for TKR, the reason why a majority of the why most TKR fans dislike it is because it didn't include Michael and KITT (until the last episode, where KITT is seen as a memory core and Michael turns up at his grave to meet the group), and the fact that Fords were used in that production was because in the original KR series, after the first season, Pontiac requested that the production to no longer refer to KITT as a Trans-Am because they had people coming to their lot asking to get the "Knight Rider car" only to discover that the mods seen in the show were not included. As a subsequent result, Pontiac refused to allow a Pontaic product to be used for KR2000 (so a Mitsubishi was heavily modded to look similar to Pontiac's Banshee prototype, and subsequently has appeared in other productions).
Sorry, I just happen to be a long time KR fan.
Now, back to topic.

LOL.
----back to thread topic ----
I just hope that if this is to be the last Batman movie (yeah right) that they can leave it on a high note.
Is that the new Batmobile? Kewwwl. Needs a big red bat on the door.
Really, if some guy built that thing it would be laughed off the internet. But because it's 'official' we are supposed to like it. It just showed they didn't know what they were doing.
But the same could be said for some Batmobiles.

My best guess is that it's the new 'Batwing'. Most of it is probably CGI - which would explain why it looks incomplete in all the pictures taken of it.

Maybe they're doing the whole Knightfall type arc...Batman is worn down by a string of villains allowing Bane to defeat him because he's exhausted/ill/injured. If that green haired fellow above is the Joker, perhaps the movie starts with a little prologue of him dying, kinda like DK began with a little Scarecrow bit. Just to start off the whole "tons of bad guys are running wild, overwhelming Bats" story. I could get on board with that.

Next thing we'll see Superman swoop in to help save the day as a Batman Superman crossover.
I want to see Bane break Batman in half:
IMO: I think they could have found someone better 'suited' to play Catwoman... but who exactly is a big ?? For it to be believable and dark like the recent Batman movies have been, they'd really need someone tough like Linda Hamilton from T2. I'm not sure that there are many actresses today who could pull that off very easily.

I have a feeling we are going to see Bats really get pummled, and probaly watches his best friend get murdered. Maybe at the begining of the film based on the trailer. I would guess this happens, Batman is presumed dead, leaves for some far away place, Bane pretty much owns Gotham...then Batman makes a comeback and rolls back into town and finishes Bane off Rocky style.
Some of the pics look so goofy, but I still have to believe in Nolan. He has not let me down yet.

Not to hijack, but um....... wait...What is this thread about?:lol
btw, what is a Sperg?
Anyway............
Exactly. My one and only pick was always that jewel-obsessed chick from "Sir Arthur Conan-Doyle's The Lost World". Australian actress named Rachel Blakely. Her character was called Angelique I think. Been awhile, but she had awesome green eyes, long curly brunette hair, and not only had the same type of face they were giving Selena Kyle in the comics, but she practically had her wardrobe! She was hot, and kind of a B***h.:lol She would have been perfect.

I know the Blonde is a bit distracting, but you can hopefully see what I mean Esp. with the first and lasrt pics. She is the spitting image of Selena from the 90s.
LOL!!

No, I'm saying maybe they kill him off in the beginning of Rises. Quickly and from a distance so you can't tell it's not Ledger.
