I think its going to suck...

... as a romantic comedy, because it isn't in that genre. But it will be an awesome comic book movie (hopefully.) :D

I'm hoping that, as well. :D

Looking foward to this more than anything..even Tropic Thunder.kruesader

it goes like this for me:

Batman Begins >Batman Returns > Batman > Batman Forever > Batman and Robin.

Sorry guys, Michelle Pfiefer as catwoman > Jack Nicholson as Joker IMO. She just nailed that role down....ever since then Michelle has always held a special place in my heart :oops:

As for Batman Begins, Rachael really annoys me...its not so much the character but the actress :evil:

And about batman forever, its actually better than most people give it credit for. I think Val Kilmer was a great batman, just the screenplay was bad. Val Kilmer himself IRL was a great choice for batman, much like Robert D. Jr. was a perfect choice for iron man.

I've been looking forward to this movie for so long! As long as it's as good as/better than Iron Man, I'll be happy.CreepingDeath_

Me too :).

I've only seen Batman Begins once and that was at the movies when it first came out. I need to see it again before the Dark Knight!

Somebody get this man a sticky :)

Should be an awesome film. The trailers just look so... perfect.

Man, travo, I wanted to make this one! I had the plans and everything (even the topic title!). . .

But oh well. Point is, this movie is going to kick some major ass, and I will be seeing this movie more than once in theaters!

]Sorry, dude. I had been waiting a long time also. I almost did this in early June.
Travo_basic

Yeah, I was waiting for the 29th to do mine. Maybe we could collaborate, though.

Yep. I'd imagine Dave helping you. I'll work with some stuff and think of catchy one-liners (Holy summer blockbuster Batman, it's The Dark Night official thread!)

There was a conference with the cinematographer of the film, and he stated that the fights are edited better -- this is a big plus.

[spoiler] There is a scene, in which the Joker (dressed in the nurses's uniform) is about to blow the hospital. He has a detonator and it doesn't seem to work; the Joker gets frustrated and gives up. He gets into a vehicle and as the door slams the hospital blows up. The cinematographer said they had one chance to get it right and Ledger nailed the performance. [/spoiler]

Sounds great. This thread has caught on way more than the IJ one. I'm not surprised.
Travo_basic

Yep, there's an extraordinary amount of hype for this movie (which is completely understandable).

and that kind of hype can divide an audience an its reception of a film. Some want the film to fail and have already written it off (check CHUD).

I'm surprised an early review hasn't leaked. I expect it any day now.
