Goodwin!
I think everyone has seen these 2 at one point or another either way I like these two. Variety says that Cullen is playing a judge and Ellis a priest.
Priest ! The theme of TDKR is going to be LIFE AND DEATH !
AAAAAAAAA ! That was doing my head in , i reconised the guy on the left , but could not remember were from , and the first comment did not make sense ! then it hit me ,Goodwin from LOST !
This Brett Cullen guy looks alot like an older version of Harvey Dent. A priest should been appeared since Begins! I mean, it's a cool "goth" element for the Bat's, don't you think?
Yeah can you imagine , BATMAN , on the edge of death , after BANE has destroyed him , being given his last rights by the priest !
I actually reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally like the idea of Ellis as a priest. For some reason, I can totally see that as a part of the film. Now we just have to wait and see exactly HOW Nolan uses him...
I can already picture the scene in my head of Bruce Wayne in a confession booth, anonymously revealing himself as Batman and describing his struggles
I only made it through a couple episodes of Lost before I "lost" interest. It would seem Nolan is fan.
A judge and a priest?? YEEEEEAAHHHHH RIIIIIIIGHTTT!!! It's obvious to everybody that Sneider is Hugo Strange and Cullen is his beard!!
Why so... sarcastic?
Another LOST actor in Christopher Nolan's trilogy :D Woo!
Well, we do need a new judge since the last one blew up in her Mercedes...
The priest is obviously to marry Bruce and we know who hahahahaha!!! Just kidding...
A priest huh? I wonder if its to do with Selina Kyle. Probably just a guy with one line but cool none the less.
I trust we're not going to hear about EVERY actor cast. I like hearing news about this movie as much as the next fan. But some of these actors probably have just a few lines.
Hope that's the priest that teaches the inmates in Santa Prisca prison. In the comics the priest is blinded by one of the inmates, then Bane kills the inmate in revenge. However, years later when seeking information about his own father, Bane questions that same priest before killing him to keep him quite.
Cool , Great Batman knolage , that would be EPIC ,welcome to the site !
Thanks EBostock!
Ellis as a priest seems flawlessly perfect to me and i dont know why
Anybody know if Keith Szarabajka (Stephens) is returning to Gotham PD. No word, so I doubt it, but I thought he was a good supporting character in Dark Knight. If I remember correctly he was in that shot of Gordon breaking down the bat light.
Yeah, I really liked him. I'd be keen to see him again, maybe with a permanent neck scar.
Keith Szarabajka would have been the greatest Bullock to Oldman's Gordon.
Hey, I'm wondering... BN and BOF always put almost the same pics in their articles... who puts first? Would be good to BN to get some differencial from BOF, you know...
I almost always put up the articles first. I had this one about Brett Cullen & Chris Ellis the night before BOF posted it.
Fair enough... I believe you! But it was only an observation that you share the exactly same pic montage with BOF, but flipped.
Yeah, he used the same images of the actor that I did. I don't think we have the same pictures too often though. I think there's a lot of other things that differentiate our sites :)
Sure, sure! You're right... the sites are really different, BOF gimme some headaches visually speaking! :D
No just 1 thing ! NO B.S on Batman-news.com
@One_Eyed_Willie:disqus lol yeah, my #1 goal with Batman-News.com was to make a site that had a nice, modern design. I wanted to make it really easy to find news too. I hope you find the tags, categories, and photo gallery useful! :)
Dude , come on , of course there are going to be similar pics , come Summer 2012 were all going to be watching the same movie .
huahuah! Yeah, but the same pic montage is lot of...err... "BOFism"? hehe
@One_Eyed_Willie:disqus I posted this story (with the picture) on May 23rd, when the news came out. BOF didn't post it until May 24th. Of course we'll have similar pictures, but Batman-News.com is usually first to post news. We get a lot more traffic than BOF too! :)
I am not surprised you get more traffic , i followed BOF for years and to Boil it all down to simple terms Batman-news is far more USER FRIENDLY than BOF !
User friendly, as late, has become something of a side-issue. BOF's antagonism of late has been grating. If I was a first-time visitor looking for a set picture and had the show-runner effectively call me -- in his own words -- an "A-hole", I'd never go back.
