Re: The BATMAN Thread
I have to say I am actually looking forward to this movie and may even get off my butt to go and see it at the theatre rather than waiting for it on DVD - which for me is really saying something.
With all the acclaim that Ledger has had for his role in the film (which I have no doubt he will live up to when I see it), it's a bloody tragedy that this was his last, although I suppose he went out on top!
Yes, he did go out on top. He's going to become a legend frozen in time because of this unfortunately. The James Dean of the 2000's.
I would highly recommend you go see this movie in the theater. The cinematography on it looks incredible. Begins was nominated for an Oscar for Cinematography and I think the footage so far from TDK looks even better as far as the visual style. They're using a blue filter on the cameras instead of the brown filter like they did with Begins. It really is going to look great on the big screen and there will be some stunning, iconic shots of both Batman and the Joker.

I gotta confess I gave up on the Batman films back in the day when Penguin was in it and he had the army of penguins marching with bombs or something on their backs :sick:
I turned my back so much in disgust that I never even saw BB. But after hearing everything about TDK I think I might have to back and get that out and watch it.
Do you know if there is much of the storyline continued, that you would miss out on if you hadn't seen BB? I will still watch BB, but I was just curious.
Yes I think I will have to see it in all it's glory at the cinema. Besides, I gotta support Heath being a fellow Aussie from Perth.

Ha, go Aussies! I enjoy watching the pro golfers from your country, guys like Geoff Ogilvy, Adam Scott, and Stuart Appleby.
Batman Begins is a great movie. He doesn't become Batman until around an hour into the movie. The biggest continuity between Batman Begins and TDK is that all the major characters are back: Bruce, Alfred, Lucious Fox, Commissioner Gordon (who is just a lowly cop during Begins and actually gets promoted to Lieutenant at the very end of the film) and Rachel Dawes (Bruce's lifelong friend and he has a huge crush on her of course...she does on him as well). Nolan's movies have a very different style from the other Batman films. The cast is excellent. It includes Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, Gary Oldman, Liam Neeson, Tom Wilkinson, and Cillian Murphy. Katie Holmes (TERRIBLE actress) plays Rachel Dawes. She was replaced by Maggie Gyllenhaal in TDK for the role of Rachel. The final scene of Begins is the perfect setup for TDK. It is what has been fueling hype for this movie for 3 years.

Yeah we have had the odd decent golfer from down under. I enjoy watching those three you mention play too. On a seperate golf related note I see Greg Norman creating a bit of a stir with his marriage this weekend to Chris Evert. There's a bit of golfing tragedy for you, awesome golfer in his day and a damn successful business man, but man the poor guy just couldn't win a US major. I am sure he would have swapped one of his two British Open wins for a major win on US soil. I think most Americans wanted to see him win at the time too, but damn he just couldn't get over the line.
Thanks for the rundown on BB - I will get it out and post my comments on what I think.
Re: The BATMAN Thread
Yeah tejastech08 I guess the PG-13 rating makes huge sense forma marketing perspective. I was just under the impression they wanted ot do an R rated film.
I was pissed off yesterday listening to Maxim Radio. They were calling all the hype and prasie for Leger fake. Just hypeing up a dead guys last performance to sell the movie. Calling the idea of Oscar talk a pitty vote. Stretch is a fucking idiot. Obviously they have no clue that there was hype about his performance well before he died. Obviously they haven't seen any of the spots. Just a stupid conversation. Typical Maxim Radio though.

Fuck those people. Every single review has honestly described both the movie and Ledger. Batman Begins was great, my favorite movie ever, but the climax with the microwave emitter was not a very good plot element. It sounds like TDK just has a stronger plot device to end the movie. The first hour of Begins is incredible, but it sounds like the entire 2.5 hours of TDK fits that description. More consistent. Improvements in the fight scenes (camera is further away so the audience can see what the hell is going on), Rachel Dawes is now played by a great actress instead of a crappy one, and the acting is top notch from everyone involved. Check out these 12 clips that were released by WB:
Clip #2: If You're Not Getting Shot At
Clip #3: I Have Heard All About You
Clip #5: May I Suggest A Travel Agent
Clip #7: They Are All Going To Come After You
Clip #8: This Town Deserves A Better Class Of Criminal
Clip #9: You Cannot Ask Me To Wait
Clip #10: He Cannot Endure This
Clip #11: One Day Batman Will Have To Answer For The Laws He Has Broken
People who are getting annoyed by the hype need to just judge the movie itself instead of the hype around it. I cannot stand people who hate something just to go against the grain.

Re: The BATMAN Thread
The more Dent the better, I say! Eckhart is a very underrated actor and Two-Face is one of the most interesting characters in the comic book world.
I haven't watched those clips, because elswhere I heard they are too much - not a taste, they actually give stuff away. I'm trying to avoid everything but the old trailers at this point.

A trailer i haven't seen before. It just has a couple of new shots in it and shows two Batmans fighting.
