The Joker is Batman's rival, he's far more threatening than Bane, he's a highly intelligent psychopath with mad explosive skills. Imagine Gotham's buildings wired to the teeth with explosives threatening hundreds if not thousands of people that's true fear.

I know Bane isn't dumb in the comics he figured out Batman's identity afterall and cornered him in the Bat Cave. Bane just doesn't strike me as some one capable of putting Batman on the mental edge, if you get my point.


Well actually it was all Bane's plan that lead up to Batman's downfall in all of that. Bane was the one that orchestrated the release of the arkham inmates which kept batman busy for a long time, so when Bane cornered Bruce in his home, the guy was already weary and exhausted. So the guy really isn't no slouch in the brains department.

But honestly I wish they'd left the Joker for the final film if they were only going to make a trilogy. But this is Nolan, he's made The Dark Knight and Inception. If there ever was a guy that has the ability to spice up Bane, it's going to be Nolan. I'd say wait and see before anything else.

No, it wasn't possible. Heath Ledger made it unattainable to repeat his performance because it was so memorable and so good. CGI and tech wouldn't have helped.

Mr. Freeze, Poison Ivy and Penguin weren't going to work. Bane and Catwoman on the other hand could.

I was saying it's possible they could've used Joker but with Heath Ledger dead, they can't.

And I'm saying it doesn't matter if he is dead or not, Heath Leger was so good as the Joker only he could play it, but with the role destroying him I don't think he would do it again even if he wasn't dead.

Ah, the re-imaginings of various fairy tales. The question after "Will it be good?" is "I wonder if this concept is interesting?"

Yes, Captain America was awesome. His shield is a national treasure that will hit Nazis and Hydra in DA FACE!! Loved how Buck from Band of Brothers played Dum Dum Dugan and Howard Stark was potrayed great too. And Avengers trailer awesome as well, but did they change the Thor actor?

Nah. Chris Hemsworth just has longer hair.

Hulk will be portrayed by Mark Ruffalo now. Since Edward Norton got pissy with Marvel.

Lol, more like that's what happens when you are a careless freeloader teenager, this guys seem to be one of the worst types to give superpowers, but I have to admit I probaly would use these powers for my own amusement, but not in such an extreme way as them, I wouldn't be a superhero neither because that's just suicide.

But that's the thing. It's easy to say, "if I was in that position I'd never abuse it,". Because there is a base part of us that knows it will never happen. But even in your own statement, you said you'd probably use it for your own amusement. In the beginning of the trailer they did just that. The problem is the part they don't show about the whole getting powers thing is, when you start to have some power or ability that's beyond the terms normal. It's very easy for megalomania to set it. A single notion blossoms from, "I can perform this incredible feat/power. Why do I need to listen to what this cop says? Or why do I need to go to school? Or why do these rules and laws apply to me? I'm above the people they were written for." It can start to snowball effect from there.

Something that I found interesting in the trailer it says, that they're powers were getting stronger. I mean when some people getting a little bit of power, it's easy to go to their head. But if that power is steadily growing. That's when things get hectic.

In closing, I have to add, yeah it's easy to say, "If I had that power or ability, i wouldn't let it go out of control..." But in all honesty, until that really happens to you, how do you really know?

Me personally, I'd like to think I'd be responsible with it, but I know there are dark parts of my personality that would make me deathly afraid of ever gaining such power for fear of what I might do to someone else. But that's neither here nor there.
