Thank goodness Halle Berry's Catwoman was not meant to be Selina Kyle or any part of the Batman universe.

But really, I can't decide which was worse; Halle Berry being named 'Patience Phillips' in the movie or her performance! LOL

How many Razzies did she win that year? :D

Gotta give her credit for collecting the razzie award, though, she was brilliant!

This latest update has some big news from the set of 'The Dark Knight Rises' in Pittsburg about a new vehicle Batman will have in next year's movie.

I have included a SPOILER link to the footage below, in case some of you don't want to ruin the surprise:

If you've clicked on the link above and read the related article then you will know that the author / journalist speaks of how people are not going to be "disappointed" by the addition of this third vehicle to Batman's arsenal.

Unfortunately, I have to disagree. My particular love for Christopher Nolan's reimagining of Batman is that he has always appeared to give it a grounding in reality and our own world beyond the likes of other superheroes that rely on alien or magic abilities.

Batman Begins was an amazing film for giving us an insight into just how a real man, with no super powers (but an extraordinary amount of money) might not only become a vigilante but would use technology to combat his enemies.

There was an explanation for the Batmobile / Tumbler (being a military vehicle) and more impressively the sonar tracking wall (created using mobile phone signals in The Dark Knight). I could even just about accept the Batpod as it is clearly a working vehicle ... although how it came from the Batmobile/ Tumbler in the first place was a little far fetched.

However, this latest vehicle just looks and feels wrong. Neither does it have the appearance of something that we might see today (or in the next 10 years) and for this reason does not appear to fit with the gritty and realistic feel that the two previous films have had.

However, I trust that if anyone can prove me wrong it will be Christopher Nolan ... and given this latest revelation I pray he does.

Nolan has also confirmed that TDKR prologue will be in select IMAX cinemas on December 21: http://is.gd/zTebdq


Nolan on TDKR prologue: "[it's] the first six, seven minutes of the film" -- "an introduction to Bane, and a taste of the rest of the film."

or maybe at the pa*d previews of the full film as they start on dec 21st...

I don't think they'd keep it a secret if the Mission Impossble included anything else as they're trying to get people to go see 20mins as it is and would need anything extra to draw people in.
