COACHELLA!!!!!! BATMAN!!!!! and my theories on everything.

The Coachella lineup came out last night. The poster is below:

My take. I like it. It seems different from most years, but I have full faith in Coachella and its amazingness. There are acts that are must sees, possible sees, no sees, and unknowns. Thats usually how it goes, and I'm happy about it. It is very interesting to see Kanye and The Strokes on the same line though? Usually there is only one headliner on that line. 

My Theory: There will be a major act announced later that goes above Kanye and The Strokes. It also seems that there is no real "closing" dance act. Unlike the other days that have major dance acts that will headline in the dance tent at the same time as the stage headliner. I can't identify who it will be on Sun. So my theory is the major act that gets put on top of the day will be a dance act. Do I smell a little Daft Punk coming my way?

To the Bat Cave!

Anne Hathaway has been cast as Catwoman in the next batman movie "Dark Knight Rises". A couple months ago Tom Hardy was cast as another villain. It has been announced today that the two main villains will be Bane and Catwoman. This give me great insight as to which story line from the comics will be followed. 

Quick background (do your own research): Bane is a criminal from another country. Who is extremely smart. He is used as a test subject for a drug called "Venom" (no, not the same one in Spiderman). This drug makes him strong and superhuman like. He goes on to cause mayhem in Gothem. 

Catwoman- It is most likely they will follow the more edgy and dark Catwoman story line. She is a prostitute/ low life woman who is abused by her pimp. She just wants to get out of that business. So she starts stealing and robbing to make more money. She uses a suit that her pimp once gave her. By night she is a thief. By day she falls for Bruce Wayne. 

Theory: SPOILER ALERT---------------------------------------------------------------------
The comic story this seems to be following will be "Knightfall". Bane, using his smarts and strength, wears out Batman and causes trouble in Gotham. He lets prisoners out of Arkham Asylum. All the meanwhile Bruce Wayne and Catwoman (aka Selina Kyle) have a fling going. Eventually Bane will find out who Batman really is (the only villain to do so). He goes to Bruce Wayne's mansion and breaks Batman's back (literally). Bruce Wayne becomes a Paraplegic and has to pass on the crime fighting duties to Azrael (a young smart Gotham University Grad student whom Batman takes under his wing). Azrael goes on to defeat Bane. 

Why I think this will be the story? Chris Nolan said this will be the last Batman film. What better way to end it then to make Batman immobile and pass on the legacy? It seems dark and edgy with a whirlwind of emotion. Just up Chris Nolan's ally. Also, there will be another huge casting announcement. My guess is a younger character to play Azrael. ( Joseph Gordon Levitt is my guess). Or someone similar to him. Also this is the only real solid storyline with both Bane and Catwoman in it. Also the title of the movie is "Dark Knight Rises", what is the opposite of rise? Fall. "Knightfall"
