    The thing i love the most is that they both agree that Maggie Gyllenhaal was bad, but for both different reasons. Skip was saying she was just a bad actress and not believable meanwhile Stephen A was just straight up calling her ugly. LMAO.

      She's a good actress but Nolan is not good at writing female characters. The only actress that has been able to work through his writing has been Anne Hathaway.

      Why does everyone always say this?
      First of all, Nolan doesn’t write a lot of female characters in general. They are pretty much all side characters.
      His only female lead that I know of was Interstellar, and Jessica Chastain’s performance was one of the best parts of that movie.
      The love interests in The Prestige are very well done.
      And that’s most of the female characters Nolan has directed, other than Hathaway’s

    Batman was the star. At the time of release people thought it was all about the joker due to the buzz of Heath ledgers performance. 11 years later it is very much a film about Batman’s choices and the consequences of his actions. Oh and it’s still the best superhero movie ever made by far ! No superhero movie has gone to these depths of thought. Logan was the closest.

    Skip is right on all points. Nicholson was the better Joker because he was actually FUNNY! Ledger took the humor out of the character. Eckhart gave the better, more nuanced performance. And Maggie was BAD! Not pretty enough to swing a guy like Bale, and she has no screen presence. You may not like it, but Skip is right here.

    And as for you Stephen A. Maggie is not bad looking at all. She’s a very attractive lady.

    They should have just canned Rachel and brought Haley in as Selena. The would have been a great catwomen with Nolan directing. Then brought Rachel in part 3 again with Katie Holmes. No need to bring in the fuglies. Bruce only dates 9’s or 10’s

      She was adequate. Should have waited for Katie to be available.
