Moreover, the character of "The Black Mask" was chosen for multi-purposes:<p style="margin-left: 20px"><strong>1)</strong> It introduces a brand new Batman villain to the big screen.</p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><strong>2)</strong> Nolan's got a deep, psychological concept to accompany the Black Mask's character development. In other words, Nolan's going to try to make this new villain more interesting/terrifying than the Joker. </p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><strong>3)</strong> The title of the film might, in fact, be<em> "Batman: The Black Mask"</em>, or even just <em>"The Black Mask"</em> (as opposed to <em>"The Caped Crusader"</em>). Why? It would be a running theme. <strong>BOTH the protagonist and the antagonist wear BLACK MASKS</strong>. The thing is, one of them is a good guy and the other's a bad guy. Apparently, the citizens of Gotham are having a hard time telling each of them apart, due to the violent nature of either.<p style="margin-left: 20px"><em>(Personal speculation)</em> I think Nolan's going for something akin to that little speech Mel Gibson's character had in "Mad Max", where he's talking about the bronze badge being the only thing separating him from the bad guys, only Nolan's turning the concept into Batman's identity crisis.</p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"></p><p style="text-align: center"><span style="font-size: 12px"><strong>......................................</strong></span></p> <p style="text-align: center"></p></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"></p> </p> <p style="text-align: center"><span style="font-size: 12px"><strong><em>But all this is just speculation, right?

[spoiler]Actually, absolutely nothing like this message appears anywhere else amongst the thousands of comments made regarding Camelot. In fact, research strongly suggests an orchestrated smear campaign is being conducted against Camelot. Why? Could it, perchance, be for the same reasons random persons disguise themselves as ghosts & monsters on [I]"Scooby Doo"?[/I] [B]WHAT TREASURES ARE PEOPLE TRYING TO HIDE???[/B][/spoiler] And [I][B]so wha[/B][B]t[/B][/I] if it was posted on December 8th, 2008? I mean, so what, right? This "[URL="http://www.google.com/finance?q=CMLT"]Camelot Entertainment Group[/URL]" [I](that most people don't even realize exists)[/I] doesn't have anything whatsoever to do with either D.C. Comics, Christopher Nolan, or Warner Brothers.

Moreover, the character of "The Black Mask" was chosen for multi-purposes:[INDENT][B]1)[/B] It introduces a brand new Batman villain to the big screen. [B]2)[/B] Nolan's got a deep, psychological concept to accompany the Black Mask's character development. In other words, Nolan's going to try to make this new villain more interesting/terrifying than the Joker. [B]3)[/B] The title of the film might, in fact, be[I] "Batman: The Black Mask"[/I], or even just [I]"The Black Mask"[/I] (as opposed to [I]"The Caped Crusader"[/I]). Why? It would be a running theme. [B]BOTH the protagonist and the antagonist wear BLACK MASKS[/B]. The thing is, one of them is a good guy and the other's a bad guy. Apparently, the citizens of Gotham are having a hard time telling each of them apart, due to the violent nature of either.[INDENT][I](Personal speculation)[/I] I think Nolan's going for something akin to that little speech Mel Gibson's character had in "Mad Max", where he's talking about the bronze badge being the only thing separating him from the bad guys, only Nolan's turning the concept into Batman's identity crisis. [CENTER][SIZE=3][B]......................................[/B][/SIZE] [/CENTER] [/INDENT][/INDENT][CENTER][SIZE=3][B][I]But all this is just speculation, right? I mean, where the hell is it confirmed that this "[URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Mask_%28comics%29"]Black Mask[/URL]" guy is supposed to be the villain in Batman 3......!? And why would you even bother discussing that nothing, start-up production company, "Camelot"? .................................................
