I really wanted to see a Nolan Riddler, after that embarrassment known as Batman Forever, but I know that Nolan knows what he\’s doing. The Dark Knight Rises is way better than The Caped Crusader, which might have been good if not for that 60\’s TV catastrophe.

I\’m fine with the title.

But if they had to choose something else I wish they would\’ve gone with GOTHAM\’S FINEST.

There may be nothing wrong with the title, but it sounds uninspired. Unfortunately.

\”The Caped Crusader\” at face value doesn\’t sound any more campy than, I don\’t know, the name \”Batman\”??? My point is, with a title like that it is all in the presentation. Crusades can be dark, dangerous, gut-wrenching, bloody affairs. Besides the words Crusader and Knight and practically synonymous, and everyone\’s already seen Nolan\’s Batman wear a cape. I don\’t get where the \”campy\” part would come in.

But it is what it is. The title is the title, and I am holding out hope that the screenplay will be a great one.

\”The Caped Crusader\” beckons too much to the old campy image of Batman, which wouldn\’t fit Nolan at all. I think the title is fine, there\’s nothing wrong with connecting it back to the huge accomplishment that was TDK. That\’s typically what sequels do, and its better that \”TDK II\” or \”Batman Begins III.\”

I was kind of looking forward to seeing what Nolan would do with The Riddler, but to be honest I completely trust him and his judgment in making a quality film. As a Batman fan, I wouldn\’t mind seeing Dent brought back to life (although the interviews following the film exclaiming his death would be a bit misleading to the fans). I\’m also a huge fan of Tom Hardy and would definitely like to see him in a major antagonist role rather than some mundane crooked cop type character.

I have mixed feelings about this news. I think \”The Caped Crusader\” would have been a nice title for the final Nolan Batman. \”The Caped Crusader\” to me says everything \”Rises\” says but does so in a new way–Batman is back and on a mission. \”The Dark Knight Rises\” just feels like a marketing choice to me. \”Hey, let\’s make sure everyone knows this is the sequel to TDK!\”

On the other hand, without the Riddler in the film, I think I\’m even more excited though to see something new from this movie.
