i do like batman movies, even the bad ones. and the tv show versions. and the cartoon tv show versions. comic books and hand painted collectible figurines, too. everything batman. no sheets, pillows or underwear . . . i guess that would be going over the line. but i wonder who will be the best new villian for the next film, which name seems kind of dumb. if i got to choose, it would be solomon grundy, doctor death, and probably a revised catwoman, though m. pfeiffer did a hell of a job. i guess anarky would be too "risky" in these times with the sudden resurgence of what is looking like a "entertainment pmrc".

Batman is my favorite.

i've heard really good things about Batman: Under the Red Hood animated movie

So when you meet him, are you supposed to call him "Batman" or "The Batman"?
And do you think he gets embarrassed when smartass kids tease him while he's getting gas for the batmobile?
-

No, he just gets Robin to do the pumping.
'Holy gas guzzler, Batman! How big is this bat tank of yours!?'

so . . . catwoman and bane it is. but anne hathaway? hmmm. have to let that one sink in. somehow, i feel she will not top michelle pfeiffer. don't know much about tom hardy, but somehow he doesn't seem large, as in human size, to play bane.

Batman is ga....oh wait, never mind! ;D

no, aquaman is gay . . . batman is bi. ;)

I'm having trouble envisioning how Catwoman can fit into Nolan's Batman. She seems a bit too campy without the underlying malevolence.
As far as Bane, I'm already having flashbacks to the cluster-f*ck that was Batman and Robin.
-
Ann Hathaway has the sex appeal of kitty litter so hey, great pick!
-
I don't like big production movies, more of a indie/sundance type of bloke.
I used to love the original batman tv show when it was all campy and stuff. Although Robin will always be Robin to me, even though he's now a bad-ass NCIS LA agent!!!
-
I don't think Anne Hathaway is hot, Selina Kyle is supposed to be smokin' and I just don't buy Hathaway as that. I'm sure she'll be amazing somehow though. Nolan's done some damn find movies including the last 2 Batman movies [duh] so I think that trend is going to continue and can't wait to see his Bane. I hope he kicks Batman's ass for 3 hours.
I've heard Bane breaks Batman's back and Catwoman attacks Bane to avenge Batman? That would be interesting...

I LOVE "Batman and Robin" and "Batman Forever". I'm not being ironic, either. They're like live-action comic books. I never understood why comic fans think Batman movies have to be darker and more serious than "Schindler's List."
I actually think Nolan's two are extremely overrated. Can you IMAGINE "The Dark Knight" without The Joker? That movie would be AWFUL. Christian Bale has negative charisma. And that voice! You thought "Batman and Robin" was funny and campy?
I'll forever be disappointed that because "Batman and Robin" was considered the worst film of all time by 35 year-old blog-writing virgins (which is impossible since Russell Brand, Ashton Kutcher and Adam Sandler all were not in "Batman and Robin") they never got the opportunity to make the fifth one, "Batman Triumphant" which would have had Chris O'Donnell become Nightwing and introduce a new Robin.

Can you imagine ANY superhero movie without a villain? It would be awful! That's the point.
-
i honestly feel this batman movie will be the last. just as in iron man 2 (which sucked so hard, the director bowed out of part 3) the villians here will ruin the film. has nobody ever heard of when villians have been done before, you don't do them again. i really feel heath's joker pales in comparison to jack's joker, and nothing will eclipse michelle's catwoman . . . nothing.
-
Seriously? Jack's Joker was Jack in Joker make-up. A fucking shame.

I strongly agree with DFA on this one. I never agree with overwrought, messiah-like praise for an acting performance but Ledger's Joker WAS awesome. See, there's something I like. He made you think that someone like that could actually exist. Bale's Batman or Two-Face? Not so much.
The first Batman was just dull and stupid. Everyone tears the third and fourth ones for being campy and awful but Smilex? "Batdance?" Jerry Hall? Acting? Michael Keaton? Puh-leeze.

heath's joker . . . liked pink floyd.

Ooh -ooh...this reminds me. I was flicking through the independant movie channels last week and came across Sid & Nancy with Gary Oldman. It was just starting. I hadn't seen it so was all excited to watch it. 25 minutes later I was watching the food channel. The acting was fucking atrocious....it was even beyond being so bad it was fun to watch. It was painful to watch. I felt embarrassed for the actors. I'm just glad I didn't pay to watch that shit is all I can say.
Okay...back to Batman. Just wanted to share this.....

I'm disappointed you didn't compare/contrast Gary Oldman's interpretation of Sid Vicious with his interpretation of Commissioner James Gordon. That would have tied it back into the Batman discussion quite neatly.
Courtney Love is actually in "Sid & Nancy". She plays one of Sid and Nancy's hanger-on junkie friends. That is in NO WAY foreshadowing.

Not to mention how many times in the movie are you like "That's Heath Ledger" He completed MADE that character, it's amazing. I watch the first Batman and think "That's just Jack Nicolson in Joker make-up. His voice is Jack, his face is Jack, everything is Jack. He's just a little more mobile than we're used to. The Joker is my favorite Batman villain and villain ever, but I refrained from saying it was the best thing ever when I saw TDK because I thought it WAS amazing but I didn't want to be biased becuase I have been obsessed with The Joker since I was a kid. It was great to see the re-vamped Joker, but I was never impressed or in awe of Jack's and I think anyone who says his was better is just an idiot who wants to argue. Nicolson wasn't nominated and won for his Joker, even though I think the Academy is a joke, but it shows how his performance was seen throughout the industry.
Watch any Jack Nicolson movie and watch Batman, you're like "Yep, that's him"
Watch 10 Things I Hate About You and watch The Dark Knight, it's amazing to think it's Heath Ledger and if you don't agree that's fine, but I just think it's silly to say Jack's was better...
-
everybody knows why heath was nominated and won. pah . . . lease. his death, plus the who else was nominated; there was no way they were giving it to downey's performance in tropic thunder; hoffman in doubt (won too much already); brolin in milk (penn was already the goto guy from that film). jack was better, and yes . . . i already know i'm an idiot; that's beside the point. heath couldn't even win when he was nominated before. the end.
-
Really? I actually thought that if Heath hadn't died that Gary Oldman would have been nominated too. If anything for the last scene where Harvey has his family. Powerful performance there at the end.

my prediction
the new batman movie is going to fail so bad. worse than iron man 2 fail.
this is new trailer
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apMXFloDH6M
this is bane
(http://www.flicksandbits.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/bane-tom-hardy.jpg)
this is catwoman

Who are you? Dr. Watson from "The Red-Headed League?"
You can determine how good an entire film (that's just started filming and won't be out for a year) will be just by looking at a few production photos and extrapolating?
You know, it didn't used to be like this. We used to wait.
Brian
-
Well walkonby might be right, the new Batman might fail as bad as Iron Man 2, which made $622,056,974 worldwide, failed. I too would like to fail like that. Please let me fail to the tune of $622,056,974.
There's going to be a oh-yeah-Heath-died letdown but this is still going to rake in the money.
-
I always wonder why it is that many of you who listen almost exclusively to indie as fuck bands watch such mainstream trash popcorn bucket movies???
-
$$ made
equals fail
shitty villians that are played by shit stars who dress shittily and ruin the comic book feel = fail
god . . . nothing is better than people who equate revenue with substance.

Did anyone see the trailer to "The Dark Knight Rises" and/or the "Bane" prologue this weekend?
I have to give credit to Nolan, it looks pretty cool and non-comic booky. I really miss the Bat nipples, though. I don't want to give anything away but I wish that would happen to the Pittsburgh Steelers tonight....
Brian
-
new trailer cements old idea.
the new batman movie will blow.
any reason why they didn't show catwoman in the trailer? same reason they won't show hulk in the avengers trailer . . . because they know they will suck and bring the film to a screeching halt. and bane looks horrible, the special effect looks overdone and enough is enough with computer effects. should have let the series die with heath.
-
There should be a way to post the same thing in multiple threads...
You know whose fault the power outage was at the 49ers/Steelers game? Catwoman and the Gotham 99%.
Bane still wanted to get at Hines Ward. (Which, if you've seen the new "Dark Knight Rises" trailer makes more sense.)

Derp, Nolan goes above and beyond to NOT use CGI.
Watch the prologue. It's fucking amazing.
I have a raging mega huge hard-on for this movie and have for over a year now. I cannot wait. People will hate, and people will fanboy freak out over it.
Would you rather have this menacing, new take on Bane, or an oversized gargantuan smashing cars? Nolan's gonig for a sense of realism. The new Bane has grown on me.
-
me want smash.
-
The trailer to the new movie is pretty awesome.

uhmm . . . ok . . . love the new trailer. polished and finished. bane and catwoman still look like shit though. oh well.
-
WTF is up with Bane's voice? It sounds like they fixed it a bit, but it sounds awful and so obviously "fixed".

It's WAY better than the 2nd trailer, I had NO idea Bane says "When Gotham is ashes, you have my permission to die" until I read a fucking article that said it. This one i completely understood what he said. If you see the prologue it's so-so. I won't complain though, I think he sounds menacing as shit. I cannot WAIT to see this fucking movie!!!!!!!!! I SRSLY CANT YOU GUYS!
-
I'll be watching this shit at imax ;D
-
so with all the tragedy and talk of colorado . . . i sort of glossed over the film itself. has anybody seen it? is it worth seeing in the theatre? or does it, like i have been saying all along, suck a big one like iron man two?
-
it's fantastic.
-
It was great!!!!!!! Go see it Walky, nothing like Iron Man 2
;D
-
I have to give it a thumbs down and I am real easy to please when it comes to action movies.
-
That opening scene was amazing.
-
not better than the dark knight though
-
Loved it
Does anyone know what scene was playing when Colorado went down?

If it was 30 minutes into the movie, it might have been around the first shootout in the alley way when Gordon is taken into the sewers to Bane.... That's just a rough guesstimate though...
-

It is and it isn't, either way I think it's a major acheivement. I AM a huge Batman nerd though. It wasn't the Batman movie we needed, but the one we deserved.

I think it'll take away from the story. "Clooney as Batman" instead of the actual story itself. I'll be looking at Ben Affeleck instead of at Bruce Wayne. I guess if he's just Batman it'll be fine. And if he's kicking the shit right out of Superman.

My wife informs me that i have seen a Batman movie. I guess it didn't make an impression on me. I still haven't seen a Broken Social Scene show though.

If he kicks the shit out of Superman, I'll be fine. I'm just worried it's going to be so cartoon-y and CGI'd to death.
I get it, it's a comic book, but, come on. I'm not expecting another Nolan trilogy, but can we just not jump right back to the Shumacher debacles?

First, the new star wars trailer . . . Now the new, batman / superman film makes an appearance. Nice.
-
Honestly way more stoked for the Star Wars trailer. Batman trailed didn't have enough Batman. I'm looking forward to the Suicide Squad trailer than anymore Superman business. Although it's taking after Dark Knight Returns which is an awesome book.
