...The Hell?
Kate Holmes still in next Batman movie.
This should prove interesting. And not interesting in a good way. First, it proves that the writers have decided to continue a romantic relationship that shouldn't have been in the first movie to begin with, and was ended at the end of the film.
Second, they're going to have to do some somersaults to get the new District Attorney, Harvey Dent, into a position that seemed destined to be filled by Rachel Dawes. Again I believe that Dawes' character could have more easily and comfortably been filled by Dent in the first movie, as Bruce's best friend. Which he is in the comics. Just without smooching.
Now they have to somehow figure out a way to 1) Get Dawes out of the DA's office, and 2) get Dent in. It would have been so simple to say that Dawes, in trying to escape her past and her feelings for Bruce, leaves Gotham City to take up the postition of DA in Metropolis or some other DC Comics town. In response, Gotham would hire a young hotshot named Dent as a new Assistant DA. Over the course of the film, Dent would befriend Bruce and rise to the position of DA by the end of the film or the beginning of the third.
But with Holmes signed on for the film, it could mean one of many things:
1) She WILL be leaving the DA's office, and her signing is for a more limited role than she had in Batman Begins
2) They will be attempting to get Dent into the office despite Dawes presence. Potentially awkward storylines occur.
3) Dent will become Two Face, but not as District Attorney.
4) Dawes will become Two Face. Fandom riots ensue.
And I have one more idea that would be REALLY fun, but not likely: Joker does something that warps Dawes to the point that she becomes Harley Quinn. That would be a really fun idea, but might make things a little wonky in the BB universe.
And I'm also realizing that, in my tiredness, I'm making some really boring and uncreative writing up above. I apologize.
Other "...the hell?" moments from today:
- I know we are all happy that the space shuttle has landed safely. But its REALLY amusing and frustrating to me that the networks, after basically reducing the space program to an afterthought before the Columbia disaster, has suddenly decided that its important enough to cut into all programming to watch it land this morning. Mind, they're only breaking into more news, but pretending to care again just so they can be there in there for a screw-up is annoying.
- A suggestion or plea to people waiting for elevators: If there's a group of a dozen people waiting to get on an elevator when you arrive, and an elevator opens next to you, it's very impolite to jump in before everyone else. It may be a clump instead of a line, but there's still such a thing as polite behavior.
Okay, that's done.
