ROTTEN TOMATOES: "Bat" Bits: Teaser in December and ... Anthony Michael Hall?

"Bat" Bits: Teaser in December and ... Anthony Michael Hall?

by Scott Weinberg | May 21, 2007

That freaky "Dark Knight" website that we've been talking about ... has been changed. Plus, Anthony Michael Hall joins the cast, but won't say who he's playing!

The "Dead Zone" star recently flew over to London to start production on the "Batman Begins" sequel, but his "busy time" on the project won't be shot until August. According to Mr. Hall, who signed a confidentiality agreement and is apparently pretty serious about honoring it, he has some scenes with Morgan Freeman and appears "throughout the whole movie," but that's all the scoop he'd spill ... so far.

In other Bat-news, that creepy promotional website we talked about yesterday has undergone a few changes. Click through it to find out a hidden message, but the bottom line is this statement: "See You in December" The logical assumption is that December is when we'll get some kind of teaser trailer. Cool.

no it is really there -- just copy and paste the "hahaha" text into Word or something like that, then just use "find and replace" to get rid of all the "ha"s.

All you'll be left with is "See you in December"

Wow. That's really cool. When I suddenly noticed all the "Ha's" I actually thought that was pretty creepy. I hope the rest of the movie's going to be like that -- creepy, cryptic and entertaining.

December's an awfully long time for a teaser to come out, isn't it?

A full trailer in December. A teaser this summer, and Joker's not in it. And AMH is playing a villain.

hall isn't necessarily a villian, all thats been said is he plays a batman "wannabe" which means he could be a nerd(wow, thats a shocker) who in attempt for people to like him...dresses like batman and tries to get the public to think he's the real deal.

It would be pretty neat if Hall was going to be the Riddler, and they kept him hanging about the background for a while. Of course, they couldn't give out his name in the movie, or everyone would instantly know. He'd have to be like "mr. lab assistant" until they were ready to give it away.

He is going to play a nerd who will be fascinated with Bruce Wayne & Batman, and will become the riddler with 2 Face in the third movie!!!

Yeah, the teaser will be more of an announcement or something, as in no footage, just text, but we'll finally see the good stuff in December.

I hope not. Too many Forever parallels there.

I probably missed the article on this, but was there a hidden message on the Dark Knight web page where it shows Harvey Dent on the promotional poster?

I can see the parallels to the Burton/Stupidmacher Batman movies, I think Nolan doesn't care because he can reuse Joker, Riddler, Two-Face but make them badass!!!

AMH could be a completely different villian too, and I think he can pull off a villian. Just as long as Batman doesn't defeat him by putting him under a glass coffee table!!! LOL

Oh please, the Riddler?? that's the last villain they should use fo this movie. So far we have the Joker, possibly Scarecrow again(fingers crossed) but if they add the riddler, well I can't imagine Hall possibly overtopping Jim Carreys version, although Batman Forever was bad and too comical whereas this is dark and serious, but they might pull it off, I least expected Ledger to be the Joker but so far he' lookin great in character.

This could be a stab in the dark, but do you think that this story is leading up to the story in the graphic novel knightfall?

AMH could be Azrael, scarecrow, joker, harvey dent (two face) may all stay alive, get released from arkham asylum by Bane in batman 3 or 4, and batman screws himself catching them, then an exhausted batman has the absolute crap beaten out of him by bane, prompting azrael to take his place etc.

Only problem with this is that robin is in this story, and robin sucks giant cock.

Looks more like they're leading up to The Long Halloween, since there's no sign of Bane.
