I'd fall asleep.
I guess the editing thing is a personal prefrence. It was the ploar opposite of say the LOTR movies(and books) the editing in those films is such where they spend 20 minutes on one scene with a few actors. So long to where you forget about the other characters. Then they switch and you're like oh yeah these guys again. LOTR is so driven by the story telling aspact of it where as TDK is in essence an action film so I felt the editing kept things moving. I will agree on one thing though. It would have been nice to have one scene with the Joker all by himself. Ala the scene in LOTR where Gollam has a conversation with himself(Smeagol). That would've been truely amazing.

I don't necessarily mean retire the Joker forever just for this paticular franhcise that Nolan as come up with. Like you I trust the vision of this franhcise so I would like to see a third installment 100%. I dont' thin they'd fuck it it up at all.
Do you guys think Tom Cruise could pull off the Riddler? I like Cruise as an actor and part of me can see this being a good fit but I wonder if he'd be too big of a star. Would it be too "Tom Cruise"? he'd be better than Jim Carey though that's for damn sure:haha:
The bitching would never end.
Then again, it was the same with Heath.

Never watched Lord of the Rings(well, tried once), but I do see your point of how the exact opposite style of editing can ruin films.

No stars. Its lame and brings that ultra cheesy aspect to it.
The franchise already has stars obviously, but you know what I mean. We don't need Tom Cruise, Jim Carrey, Jessica Alba,etc. in the next film taking up various roles.

My point was not how different styles of editing can ruin a film. I felt both styles were absolutely perfect for their respective films. My point was simply editing is a personal taste I guess.

Yeah I hear that. Just something about it makes me think Tom Cruise could play it. He's got that crazy laugh and he's a smooth talker and a really good actor in my opinion. Everyone in the Nolan franchise is a star though to varying degrees so it's not like they've chosen to go with an unknown cast. Quite the opposite really like you pointed out. Jim Carey and Jessica Alba are not in the same league as Tom Cruise though.
Liam Neison
Katie Holmes
Christian Bale
Morgan Freeman
Michael Cain
Heath Ledger
Maggie Gylenhall
Aaron Eckhart
You could put a star in the next villan's role no problem.
True Rex. the casting of Ledger was mocked at first but that turned out o.k. I'd say Cruise would never happen though I realize that. Just a thought is all.
Re: The BATMAN Thread
I agree. You could put a star in that role and it could be good. The Nolans are pretty good judges of this, so i'd trust in them. Preferably, i'd want a smaller star (not as big as Tom Cruise), and one who isn't type cast.
I really can't get the bitching about the editing. I thought it was great, it sure as hell kept my attention thoughout the whole movie.
I'm going to see it again later this week so i'll let you guys know if i feel any different about it.
I have a friend who saw it twice and he said it only got better the second time around.
Re: The BATMAN Thread
Bono... I think Depp would make a great replacement for Ledger on the role of The Joker.
If anyone could bring Ledger's energy, Depp could. The bad part is in hind-sight, with Heath's passing, it would've made more sense to

Good point. Although I obviously wasn't fond of the movie, it will definitely be interesting to see what direction this goes. Lucky for them there are plenty of villains to choose from.
Is there any timetable on when the next installment gets placed on the launch pad?
