ROTTEN TOMATOES: The Dark Knight's Character List Leaked Online?

The Dark Knight's Character List Leaked Online?

One sequel, 101 names, and countless impatient fanboys.

by Jeff Giles | January 16, 2008

It's been awhile since we ran a story about The Dark Knight, we know -- but as proof that we've repented of our Bat-deficient ways, here's a doozy of an item!

IESB, running with a report from BadTaste.it, has posted what is being described as the "complete character list" from the Batman Begins sequel. Attributed to "a very reliable source," the list contains over 100 names -- none of which will be divulged here, natch -- and although it isn't the spoiler-est of spoiler-type posts, it's still a fun, unexpected treat.

You know what to do, Bat-fans...get to clickin', and read up on who you can expect to see when The Dark Knight debuts on July 18!

The site even has a "spoiler" of the plot but I doubt its real.

You know, I was certain "Cop (w/Fat Thug)" was NOT going to make it into the picture. Maybe his scene will be cut.

Once you make it past the first 20 characters, the rest are just the "run-of-the-mill" characters.

Yay! It's about time Man #2 got a big screen, live action portrayal. Been clamoring for it for years! I don't know about you, Elixor, but I'm stoked!

Bounty Hunter #3 is being blackballed by the industry just because he participated in the training class in Domino. It was an honest mistake let the guy eat already.

I have to say that I've been a fan of Man #2 ever since "That Late Evening" and "All These Broken Toys". I always knew he'd get his due!

Nothing we didn't already know. I wish it showed who was playing what role though.

I hear ya Matanuki, I just hope that they didn't screw up the casting. I'll be pissed if they don't capture the awesome image of Man #2 from the comics. He's a deep character with lots of history ;p

Let's just hope that Man#2 doesn't get all strung out on rock or something....would hate to see all the years of hard work go to waste, after all these years the hard work is paying off. :) :p

Sal Maroni... interesting. If Dark Knight follows the plot of Long Halloween like Nolan has suggested it would then judging by this cast list the next one will follow Dark Victory. Both great books so that's fine by me.

Oh, and who wants to guess on how old Barbara Gordon will be? Little girl? Or a young adult? Her casting makes me think that there might be more than "a little" influence of The Killing Joke on this flick.

You know guys. All this support is great. It'll help to mention when I pitch my masterpiece screenplay to big wigs. Prepare yourselves everyone,... for part I of The Man #2 Chronicles.

'Barbara Gordon' is referring to Jim Gordon's wife, not his niece, the eventual Batgirl.

Awesome to see the Scarecrow is making an appearance. That Gotham Times viral website strongly suggests that Scarecrow's fear toxin attack in Begins has permanently effected Gotham City...an allusion to 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina.

A little peeved that there's no mention of Harley Quinn. But maybe they've credited her under a different name. I think I've lost a girlfriend or two because I hinted that I wanted her to playfully call me 'puddin' or 'Mr. Jay.'

Or maybe it was when i proposed a menage a trois with a tree-hugging redhead. Who knows.
