The Dark Knight's Character List Leaked Online?

Summary

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! Back to Article

'The Chechen' is being played by an unknown. A character actor named 'Ritchie Coster' whose work I am totally unfamiliar with. I doubt the character gets much screen time and takes a back seat to Gambol and definitely Sal Maroni (a very important character in the Batman universe.)

Hall is playing a journalist named Mike Engel. I wouldn't rule out a 'Keyser Soze' moment for his character.

You know who i am really glad is in this movie. Heckler. I mean what would the Dark Knight be like if the Heckler was not in it. Whew, the chill i just got thinking about the inhumanity, and atrocity, of a movie without the heckler. Thank the Lord.

Ironically, the part of "female guest" was played by a man. I wonder who the key grip is? David Richardson? He did great work on previous films!

the pivotal characters in the batman mythos. give him some respect, please,

Man #1 deserves a lot more credit than you people are giving him. I mean, let's be honest here, Man #2 wouldn't even have a job if it weren't for him.

Though, I've been thinking. Perhaps they hired Man #2 FIRST, taking into account all the hard work he has put into the business and then, seeing this, they thought, wait, this doesn't make sense. We can't have Man #2 without having Man #1, otherwise Man #2 would actually be Man #1. So they ended up hiring Man #1 out of necessity. If this is the case, Man #1 can thank Man #2 for this wonderful opportunity.

I think I'm the only Batman fan (used to collect the comics) who didn't like Batman Begins.

Why is it every single Batman movie has to develop a love interest who he reveals his identity to ?

Since when would Batman drive a tank humvee through a city destroying half the highway and buildings in the process. Flying around via some kinda hang glider cape ... rofl. The Scarecrow was horrible, he wasn't even developed. The guy is basically a ninja/detective with gadgetry who works behind the scenes.

Thats the Batman I remember from the comics in all the years I collected them.

In reply to this comment (#1490318)
I think many of us share your misgivings about the overlarge Batmobile, Rorshack. But I think it was a small price to pay for a brilliant vision that, at last, has paid the mythology some much needed respect. One critic wrote that Begins "wiped the smirk off of the comic book movie," and I agree. It is a fitting description for a Batman film done well. As for your comment about the Scarecrow, well, you can't expect them to fully develop every villain. Especially one cast as second or third tier.
