Let's face it - the dried-up prunes of the Academy wouldn't give the Oscar to someone whose character hearts orgies and massacres anyway.

Damn! Got me there. Hannibal Lecter probably dug the orgies, too.
and beats his mom and sister.
If people got arrested every time they yelled at their Mom, I'd be in jail for life. That's just how we roll in The Bronx.
Swing Kids: The Nazis are coming ... let's dance!
That's why I LOVE that movie. If Independence Day were real, I would be dancing my heart out to negro music while Will Smith flew an alien spaceship into a large alien spacecraft. Can you see the symmetry there? Cosmic poetry ftmfw!
Okay. If I'm putting Reign of Fire in the queue, then Swing Kids has a place there, too.
But I'm still voting NO on Newsies.
They are? Oh, vomit.
And ... Swing Kids. Really? Hm. I may have to add that one to the same pile as Newsies.
The action sequences are infinitely better than the ones from Begins, methinks. Even the short fight sequence in Lao's building in Hong Kong tops any of the major sequences in Begins. One of the many things that makes this film superior to Begins, the previous high watermark for superhero films, in my opinion.
The close-in fighting is excellent brutal takedown stuff, ideal for special forces or police or street fighting, speaking as a martial artist. Especially right at the beginning where Batman takes on those guys dressed as him + Scarecrow.

Alright my nerdy minions, due to my athletic ability (I captained my hs bowling team and averaged 256/game as senior - can you say "Varsity Letter"?) and the fact that women and men in windowless vans find me attractive, I do not know as much about comic books as the rest of you.
However, I did love The Dark Knight. So, while we are all still feeling hot and bothered by the latest Batman let's turn our attention to the next movie. What direction do you think the next film should take? Nolan finished Batman Begins with a nod to the Jokers presence in the next film. He ended TDK with Gordon smashing the Bat Signal and Batman on the run. Will that be the dominant theme of the next film?
Which villains should Batman face in the next film? Should the Joker be recast and make another appearance?
The only assumption I have is that Christopher Nolan will be back to direct and that the actors of all the main characters (save Ledger, of course) will be back.
Ok my little nerdies: GO!
It's been suggested in another thread that this time, Selina Kyle / Catwoman will come in, and I think that's probably what'll happen. The Penguin has also been mentioned, but I find that slightly less likely. Perhaps Freeze?
I highly doubt Joker will be back though - what actor would dare try and touch Ledger's performance?
Alternatively, it could go down another path and not have a villain at all, but be about Batman and his struggle against himself, or something like that. Perhaps a Bruce Wayne: Murderer? style story arc.
Two-Face might be back though, although I'm not entirely convinced either way.
Yeah, this should be interesting. Anybody catch the Catwoman reference in the Dark Knight?
Lucius references a cat when he is creating a new suit for Bruce after he gets bit by the dogs.
