Hello Residents!

(27:56) Do you think a Joseph Gordon-Levitt film could have worked? (35:46) Do you believe that the Nolanverse showed that the quality of the world must be as important as any part of the story? (44:24) It seems that while these movies are eternal, the ending was disappointing.  Thoughts? (54:40) What villain would you like to have seen get the Nolanverse treatment? (1:03:11) What hero would you like see to have seen besides Green Arrow? (1:10:59) Does Gotham Knight count as part of the Nolanverse?  If so, does Killer Croc fit the style? (1:15:43) If Heath Ledger had not died, what would have Dark Knight Rises looked like? (1:21:02) What do you think of the theory that there were hidden villains in the movies? (1:28:38) At the end of The Dark Knight, why doesn’t Batman reveal his identity to Harvey? (1:33:15) How would the DCEU look if Nolan’s Batman been in the universe?   Guest Appearance - https://carleton.ca/filmstudies/people/matthew-poulter/ Characters - Black Manta (http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Black_Manta_(New_Earth)) (http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/David_Hyde_(Prime_Earth)) - Booster Gold (http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Michael_Jon_Carter_(New_Earth)) (http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Michael_Jon_Carter_(Prime_Earth)) - Bronze Tiger (http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Benjamin_Turner_(New_Earth)) (http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Benjamin_Turner_(Prime_Earth)) - Clayface (http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Basil_Karlo_(New_Earth)) (http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Basil_Karlo_(Prime_Earth)) - Cyborg (http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Victor_Stone_(New_Earth)) (http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Victor_Stone_(Prime_Earth)) - Deadshot (http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Floyd_Lawton_(New_Earth)) (http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Floyd_Lawton_(Prime_Earth)) - Dick Grayson (http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Richard_Grayson_(New_Earth)) (http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Richard_Grayson_(Prime_Earth)) - Firefly (http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Garfield_Lynns_(New_Earth)) (http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Ted_Carson_(Prime_Earth)) - Hush (http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Thomas_Elliot_(New_Earth)) (http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Thomas_Elliot_(Prime_Earth)) - James Gordon Jr. (http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/James_Gordon,_Jr._(New_Earth)) (http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/James_Gordon,_Jr._(Prime_Earth)) - Jeremiah Arkham (http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Jeremiah_Arkham_(New_Earth)) (http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Jeremiah_Arkham_(Prime_Earth)) - Lady Shiva (http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Sandra_Wu-San_(New_Earth)) (http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Sandra_Wu-San_(Prime_Earth)) - Midnighter (http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Midnighter_(Wildstorm_Universe)) (http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Midnighter_(Prime_Earth)) - Mister Freeze (http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Victor_Fries_(New_Earth)) (http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Victor_Fries_(Prime_Earth)) - Penguin (http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Oswald_Cobblepot_(New_Earth)) (http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Oswald_Cobblepot_(Prime_Earth)) - Riddler (http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Edward_Nashton_(New_Earth)) (http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Edward_Nygma_(Prime_Earth)) - Scarecrow (http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Jonathan_Crane_(Nolanverse)) (http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Jonathan_Crane_(New_Earth)) (http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Jonathan_Crane_(Prime_Earth)) - Suicide Squad (http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Suicide_Squad_(New_Earth)) (http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Suicide_Squad_(Prime_Earth)) - Zsasz (http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Victor_Zsasz_(New_Earth)) (http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Victor_Zsasz_(Prime_Earth)) Recommended Reading/Viewing - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batman:_The_Animated_Series - http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Batman:_The_Black_Mirror - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batman:_Mask_of_the_Phantasm - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batman_Begins - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constantine_(film) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dark_Knight_(film) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dark_Knight_Rises - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batman:_Gotham_Knight - http://dcau.wikia.com/wiki/Over_the_Edge - http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Red_Hood_and_the_Outlaws_Vol_2 Media - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Animatrix - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archie_(comic_book) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DC_Extended_Universe - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghost_in_the_Shell_(1995_film) - http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Nolanverse - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonic_the_Hedgehog_(Archie_Comics) People - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Nolan - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Gordon-Levitt
