Batman 3: Adventures in Rumorland
Wednesday, August 26, 2009 at 11:04AM
The rumor mill is churning this morning in Gotham City cranking us out a few new things to talk about regarding Christopher Nolan's 3rd installment in his mercifully Chris O'Donnell-free Batman saga. One rumor everyone is going to get behind, and one rumor every dude would get behind if ever given the chance and were willing to risk an STD or two.
Texas based fanboy extreme Harry Knowles broke the story over at AICN that Christopher Nolan may be filming the gravely voiced vigilante TOTALLY in IMAX next year. And not digital, bullshit IMAX, we're talking big loud ass cameras rolling 70mm film through its many gears churning out footage that looks simply amazing. Portions of Dark Knight were filmed in IMAX, the entire opening sequence for example, and in the hands of Chris Nolan the results were stunning. Here's the rub. Shooting in IMAX is remarkably expensive, time consuming, and a huge pain in the ass. Not to mention that the cameras run so loud that it's virtually impossible to get usable audio on set, so not only does the camera budget get inflated by at least double JUST for film stock, but the audio budget expands because of all the ADR that must be done in post to get usable dialogue.
This is only rumor at this point, but it was proven to WB that Nolan will bring in a few bucks when he puts his hands on a Batman film so it's entirely possible he will get the budget to do it. The only question is, does he really want to take on a challenge of that magnitude. Here's hoping he does.
The next rumor you can file under 'Total Bullshit' which can be cross-referenced into the 'Worst Ideas Ever' folder. Seems that the ever observant British internet mag The Sun has a pretty good hold on their claim that Megan Fox, seen here looking as trampy as ever showing off her one pose that I like to call "Slut Face," will be stepping into the torn leather suit as Catwoman, most recently portrayed by Halle Berry (the worst), but only properly portrayed by Michelle "Still hot at 51" Pfeiffer. Seeing as there's not even a script for this yet, it's a little hard to believe that Catwoman is even going to be a part of the film, let alone that she'll be played by Megan Fox.
I can't imagine a world where Christopher Nolan will let this happen. He's made a couple mistakes with his female leads so far and I'm pretty sure he knows it, so why would he ever hire an actress who can barely flap her lips and make noises let alone act in a serious role? Especially after having just worked with the brilliant and beautiful Marion Cotillard on Inception. That anyone would believe this is baffling.
I'll keep you posted as news about the IMAX story unfolds, and I will assure you all right now that Megan Fox will not be in the next Batman flick, and if she is you won't be hearing about it from me because I will have killed myself.

Thank you. I fucking hate Megan Fox. She is hot for about one out of every 60 frames in film, and that may be when I'm blinking.
I honestly died a bit inside when I saw the post to this on Facebook, because it scared me. I became a big fan of the Batman story with "Batman Begins", and even more so when "The Dark Knight" came out - but I'll revert all that love into hate, ten-fold, if this cuntfuck is allowed in the next film.
There are few people I hate more in this world over Megan Fox, and I'd seriously love nothing else than to punch her square in the fucking face, then set her on fire. And watch.
Dude. Megan Fox=teh worst. So annoying. I'll be so damned upset if she's in it. Like... won't really want to watch it. She's basically ruins everything.
