Nolan Mulling Batman 3

Warners has an offer out to the director.
by Jim Vejvoda

August 18, 2008 - The Dark Knight soared past the first Star Wars movie this weekend to become the second highest-grossing domestic release of all time just behind Titanic. With over $470 million now in their coffers, Warner Bros. is understandably eager to make sure that filmmaker Christopher Nolan, the director of TDK and Batman Begins, returns to helm the third installment in their revitalized Bat-franchise.

So far there had been little hard news about Batman 3 (but plenty of unfounded casting gossip about who might play the villains in the next sequel). Until now.

According to Variety, "There's a deal for the director to helm a third pic, but he has yet to decide on whether to tackle it yet." Warner Bros. studio boss Alan Horn told the trade, "We have no idea where Chris is going with this. ...We haven't had any conversations with him about it."

Although the paper doesn't say, it should probably be expected that Nolan's next directing effort will likely be a non-Batman project (assuming he even wants to do Batman 3), much like how he followed the success of Batman Begins with The Prestige.

　諾蘭大導尚未決定是否要為第三部蝙蝠俠執鏡，這件事情我姑且保持樂觀。

　這消息最讓我高興的一句話是「but plenty of unfounded casting gossip about who might play the villains in the next sequel」。會不會有第三集尚且是個未知數，更何況那些關於第三集惡役選角的消息，一切都只是謠傳罷了。

　個人希望會有第三集為諾蘭與貝爾的蝙蝠俠做出一個完整的落幕，但不樂於見到它變成壞人過於眾星雲集的片子，這勢必會讓導演因為顧慮角色的演出戲份，影響劇情呈現的結構與重心。

　再者，電影叫做蝙蝠俠，主題終究該回到蝙蝠俠與布魯斯韋恩身上，關於這部分的想法我很想另開新帖抒發一下感覺，等周末看過TDK後再說吧。

Two-Face: Dead or Alive?

Books settle lingering TDK debate.
by Jim Vejvoda

August 13, 2008 - Be advised that this article deals with SPOILERS regarding the end of The Dark Knight. Ever since it opened July 18, there has been a bit of a debate amongst fans about the fate of Harvey Dent/Two-Face at the end of the film.

Although Dent apparently fell to his death during a standoff with Batman and Jim Gordon in a burnt-out warehouse, some fans have suggested that Dent might not be dead since there was no blood evident (it was rated PG-13, mind you, and there was no blood even when Batman beat the snot out of Joker in the interrogation room). Also, no coffin was seen at the Dent memorial that Gordon spoke at so some have wondered if that meant Dent was simply locked away or hospitalized somewhere. Given that Heath Ledger is dead, fans also suggested that perhaps Two-Face could be brought back as the villain in Batman 3 since recasting the Joker has been met with less than overwhelming approval from fans.

TDK producer Emma Thomas fueled doubts about Dent's demise when IGN asked her about it following a press screening in late May. She told us that Dent's fate was somewhat ambivalent, and that fans could interpret it either way they'd like.

But was that the filmmakers' intention? According to two new tie-in books, no. In the movie novelization, author Dennis O'Neil wrote, "Dent was sprawled, neck twisted, the mutilated side of his face exposed, his left eye open and staring sightlessly. He was obviously dead."

And just to hammer the point home further, the script by Jonah and Christopher Nolan -- included in The Dark Knight: Featuring Production Art and Full Shooting Script -- states, "Dent lies at the bottom of the hole, his neck broken. DEAD." The capitalization is their emphasis not ours. And in a later scene, "Gordon stands on a podium at Dent's funeral. Behind him is a large photograph of Dent smiling."

So there you have it, fans. The brothers Nolan killed off Two-Face. It makes you wonder if they flipped a coin to decide his fate before they wrote the scene.

　「It makes you wonder if they flipped a coin to decide his fate before they wrote the scene.」內心隱隱贊同（淚）。

　在我眼裡，TDK對雙面人的處理扼殺了一個極有潛力成為續集大惡役的角色，若第三集（先假設會有）要延續黑暗人性走向，雙面人的背景與本質無疑非常適合。

　部分觀眾指望哈維墜樓沒流血（因電影為PG-13級）的那一幕，能成為一個解釋他生死未明的有希望疑點，可是原來小說和諾蘭兄弟早已將雙面人判出局。
