There are some specific lines and scenes from the comic that made it into the movie and the major ideas of the relationship between the Joker and Batman in the movie bears and uncanny resemblance to the comic as well…

BUT, I can’t help but think they’ll be one of two changes….
Either one of those 5 films won’t be nomed for picture (I’ve mentioned the stats before of how they seem to always replace one film, and if it lines up perfectly this year it will be the first in forever) OR if they ARE all nomed, one of the directors won’t be.

Out of the last 10 years, there has been one director nominated whose film wasn’t nomed for Best Picture each year except for 2006 (but then there was two in 2002). I know the oscars can be predictable sometimes, but this predictable? We’ll know tomorrow.
