The Dark Knight

[YOUR Hero]

Well sure, but we all know the Bats is most likely going to lose to Joker in the early stages of this movie. Then come back to defeat or stop him. It's the classic senerio. Knowing that, the suit upgrade has to be for a reason other than it was time...

[Kalyx triaD]

Actually Batman's known to upgrade his stuff on a regular anyway. Behind the scenes, they're not gonna produce two costumes.

[Lock Jaw]

What reason does Batman need to upgrade his suit other than "it works better for fighting crime"? He doesn't need to lose to spur change...

Not saying that he still can't lose... but it doesn't have to be the reason for the change.

[Jura]

Guys, guys, the reason for the upgrade is to look hot & sexy while fighting crime.

[Ben Rodrigues]

Holy early spoiler, Batman!!! (http://thecia.com.au/reviews/b/images/batman-and-robin-6.jpg)

I didn't realise how chunky that suit became towards the end...

Nolan's doing a great job, and I'm sure he wants his world to look cool while focusing on character, but he still has a studio to answer to that has entrusted him with the direction of a cash cow.

I think the motorcycle sucks and don't see a need for Batman to have one. But whatever. I like the suit.

Right tool for the rigth job. A motorcycle makes sense for places the Batmobile shouldn't go (Or just plain can't).

Not sure how good the Bat"pod" is, but....

Wow. What the fuck?

[Kalyx triaD]

I take it Fox is building stuff exclusively for Wayne/Batman because that isn't a military vehicle. Engine's in the rear wheel, you turn "with your shoulders", body moves up and down, and those guns are pretty straight forward.

[Shaggy]

Was watching the G4 coverage of comic con and they are using a unique marketing thing...

They have actually taken money and colored the face with Joker Makeup and written a website on it. Its real money and its placed all over the place.

wow, I disagree on everything you said here.

I older I get, the more I realize how he didnt nail that part and I fully expect Heath Ledger to out perform him.

Nicholsan's Joker is kind of a mix between the non-murderos joker of the early years, and the current psycho version. Although it is infuenced much more heavily by the former.

Ledger's Joker seems to be taken 100% from the current version(I'm assuming) so it's kind of unfair to compare which actor will nail the part better. But I'm guessing Ledger's will be more enjoyable. He's probably one of the most versitale actors in hollywood today, and I believe he'll nail it.

[Fignuts]

well I believe if you're going to change the suit, there should be a valid reason for it.

Needs more nipples.

Read the link above, Ledger's is going to be influenced by the very early appearances of late 30s/early 40s, and I'd imagine some of the early 70s stuff as well.

looks fucking psychotic. I love it

[Fryza]

I actually don't really like the Joker's look for this. :meh:

[Lock Jaw]

Its not the classic Joker that we know and love, yes, but I feel it has potential. A psychotic lunatic who paints himself up as a scary clown with a flare for theatrics...

[Mr. Pierre]

I think it looks great. He doesn't look cartoonish or unrealistic at all.

[YOUR Hero]

The picture I posted makes me think of 'Queens' Bohemian Rhapsody

[YOUR Hero]

To me it looks like at some point in his criminal career, Joker was sliced by someone that maybe thought he laughed too much. Cut to make him look like he always had a grin. He's decided to use it as part of what makes him what he is. Calls himself 'The Joker', adds makeup, etc.

[Downunder]

I haven't read all of this thread but, wouldn't it be Batman 5?

I just skimmed through this so I'm sorry if it's been covered but is Harvey Dent going to be a 2nd villain in this movie or is it just going to be a buildup for the 3rd one like they did with the playing cards at the end of Batman Begins?

And for the record Aaron Eckhart is a phenomenal choice to play Dent.

[Lock Jaw]

No one knows... I think at the very least he gets the acid in the face in Dark Knight.

Brokeback Mountain? That movie that almost won the oscar for movie of the year? That actually did win the oscar for best direction and best screenplay? Yeah, that sure was awful.

[McLegend]

Would Kevin Conroy do the voice or Christian Bale?

[Kalyx triaD]

Would Kevin Conroy do the voice or Christian Bale?

A fine question, m'boy. A fine question indeed. But I'm betting Bale will do it. Anime tie-ins aren't new. The last two based on Hellsing and Riddick had their actors reprise their roles.

[McLegend]

I'll like Bale doing it, but it's just that Kevin Conroy is and will always be Batman to me.

[Jeritron]

[mitchables]

Holy shit. That low-quality trailer didn't do it justice AT ALL. Having seen that high-def version, I am now 1,000 times more excited about this movie, as if that were possible. Heath Ledger looks like he has fucking NAILED it.

GOD. Can NOT wait for this movie.

[ron the dial]

oh my god

[Fignuts]

Ya know, I said it back when Ledger was announced for the role, and I'll say it again now. Heath Ledger is one of the most talented people in al of hollywood. Every role I've seen him in is radicaly different from the next, and he does each one very well.

[mitchables]

I've always enjoyed Heath Ledger's work - I thought he was great in A Knight's Tale, he was very entertaining in Ten Things I Hate About You (especially when you take that movie for what it was, really), and he has shown great diversity between roles in movies like Lords of Dogtown, The Brothers Grimm, Brokeback Mountain, The Patriot, and now The Dark Knight.

That said, even I was pretty skeptical when I first heard he'd been signed as the Joker, but honestly, with every photo, promo shot, soundclip and consequently video piece that has been shown of him in this role, I can, without hesitation, say that my fears were completely unfounded and that Figs is absolutely right. I don't even know why I doubted that he would be good. He's one of those actors that genuinely puts himself completely into a role, and I'm yet to see a movie where I haven't enjoyed his work (even if I haven't enjoyed the movie *cough*brothersgrimm*cough*). Dark Knight looks like it won't be an exception.

Not that I thought it would be, really.

[Fignuts]

Yeah I've watched that trailer at least 25 times now.

Not even joking.

[YOUR Hero]

That chick looked like Kirsten Dunce or whatever from Spiderman.
... That wasn't her, was it?

[Fignuts]

Nah, Maggie Gyllenhal. Much Hotter.

[YOUR Hero]

At first glance, I thought it was her. I was 96% sure it wasn't, but that first 4% made me ask.

[D Mac]

So I wonder if Joker says, "Wait till they get a load of me."

I would so mark the fuck out.

[wwe2222]

Ive watched the trailer about 30 times myself now...I have to be honest, at no point during that trailer do I feel like im watching Heath Ledger in a trailer. He really is unrecognizable in the shots ive seen. Its fantastic...the voice, the look, i feel like im just watching the Joker, not Heath as the Joker.

[Reavant]

I went to the opening night of I am Legond and they had the trailer that was the huge bank robbery scene... it was awsome!

[Tornado]

I think I just came a little

[ClockShot]

Now that's a quality trailer. Definately taking the day off to see this.

Cobra's an idiot. On most days, you can probably give him a run for his money, but in this case, no. He feels entitled, and entitlement trumps reason.

[ct2k]

DAMN some of those cityscape shots are immense, sounds weird but part of why I loved BB so much was the way the city was portrayed, also Ledger looks insanely evil as the Joker, push on:y:

[Requiem]

I have a feeling that this movie will vault Ledger into the books as an acting legend. His final curtain call. Going out on a high note, so to speak. I just can't even imagine this being anything less than the greatest role he ever performed.

Like someone said, when watching these trailers I don't even see Ledger. I see The Joker.

[El Fangel]

You know, I cant think of a movie with Ledger in it that I did not like.

I cant wait for this at all.

[Confused]

Its great what Ledger is doing in the role with what we've seen so far. Hes unrecognisable and genuinely unsettling with the way he moves about and delivers dialogue.

I was sold on him with the first viral image and every subsequent trailer / teaser or poster has only made me all the more impatient for this fucking movie to be released.

In the comics Steph Brown was briefly a Robin when Tim Drake took a vacation.

Yeah, I too was a little confused on why they decided to go with Ellen Page as their pick for Robin. To be honest, with the new series I could deal without Robin.

As for there other choices, one of them which I completely agree with is Philip Seymour Hoffman for Penguin. I have been saying for a while if they do Penguin again he is the man for the job, I think he would be great.

[Fox]

This movie is going to be amazing.

I wouldn't mind seeing Robin in a future film, as long as he's used as a plot device in which he is murdered and Batman strikes out for vengeance. I mean, really, a 10-year old kid isn't going to survive out there against Joker and Scarecrow and those other crazy fucks. Not in Nolan's Gotham.

[Kalyx triaD]

Make Robin older, streetwise, cut out the circus thing... Yeah, I'm starting to see Ellen's fit into this universe.

I officially second Ellen Page as Stephanie Brown.

[The Mackem]

The trailer at the movies yesterday looked great.

[Reavant]

Go to videos and watch the IMAX Featurette. Its got some great new clips

Batman: You wanted me...here I am!
Joker: HAAAAAAAAAAAA

That just gives me chills. This is going to be so EPIC!

41 days an counting!!

[Jeritron]

I still can't wait to see this movie, but I'm really frustrated with their marketing.

They've overhyped it very early, and now I'm almost uninterested. Also, the fact that they're waiting til the end of fucking July to release it seems stupid.
I'll obv get excited again come July, but to be honest I got really pumped in the winter and by now it's like WHO FUCKIN CARES I'm getting sick of it and I either want the fuckin movie released or don't want to hear about it until it almost is out

More viral campaigning. This is a teaser shot of Two Face. I don' think its that much of a spoiler, but click at your own risk.

honestly, I've seen about 4 commercials so far and it's the same commercial. So I dunno what this overhype is your referring too? Unless you going out and searching for stuff they've put out.

[94 SVT Cobra]

yeah, honestly, i have no idea what over hyping your talking about. movie is a month away and you STILL wouldnt know if you never turned on the TV

Can we please get a "Hush now tard boy?"

I dunno, I feel this is one of those movies where ya gotta see it on the big screen, a downloaded camjob would not do it justice.

[Lock Jaw]

Gotham Knight is the animated movie that is coming out on DVD before Dark Knight comes out. It is not Dark Knight. It is not going to be on big screen.

Bunch of clips on IGN right now. I'm afraid to watch 'em, myself. Gonna do it anyway, I doubt it'll have spoilers or anything like that.

I liked it. Well some of it. I like the grittyness and darkness of it and the anime style does it justice instead of the American style cartoon.

Also here is the first 5 minutes of the Dark Knight:

[El Fangel]

Batmans eyes being totally black, def dont have anything to do with the creepiness.

[Requiem]

I am just imagining that scene, and how epic it will probably be.

[Ninti the Mad]

People are putting this movie on a pedestal.

I want this movie to be awesome but I dont want to see people get their hopes so high, that they start ranting afterwards about how it couldve been better.

[YOUR Hero]

The hype is getting huge. I do hope it's as good as the billing.

[Lux]

K so i'm going to a LAN, wonder if i can convince them to hit up the theater for a midnight showing

[Champion of Europa]

I liked Gotham Knight. Didnt love it, but liked it enough to justify my purchase.

Psyched for Dark Knight. I cant wait for the 16th.

11th here :D

[Confused]

Just booked me tickets for an advance screening on 23rd of July! Can't wait!

[Champion of Europa]

11th here :D

It comes out the 18th here, but I get to see it two days early cause of my movie theater projectionist status.

[Indifferent Clox]

Those first five minutes omg.

[Ninti the Mad]

Then maybe, yinno, ignore them? :roll:

I most likely will but I am keeping other people's feelings in mind.

Not my own. I would hate people to be dissapointed if the movie rocked but they overhyped it to much to overcome the awesomeness.

[Lux]

It comes out the 18th here, but I get to see it two days early cause of my movie theater projectionist status.

Ok so the switch must be everywhere, just saw its the 18th here to, wtf happened to the 11th, didn't want to compete with Hellboy2?

[mitchables]

It has been advertised as coming out July 17th here since day one.

[DrA]

I haven't seen such hype for a movie since Barbershop 2.

[mitchables]

Just got back from seeing this. I loved it so much I think I might cry. Gonna go see it again tomorrow, in fact. THIS POST WILL CONTAIN MANY SPOILERS, so they're gonna be in black. No fancy code for me.

I'll cut right to the chase: Heath Ledger was fantastic. I wasn't creeped out seeing him up there, but I was deeply saddened. Ledger's Joker is sadistic, psychopathic, cold, terrifying and hilarious. He was brilliant. You could really feel the Killing Joke influence throughout the movie, from the many backstories of the Joker (which I loved, by the way) to his overall "everybody is capable of becoming a madman - all they need is one really bad day" theory, though in the film he obviously applies it to Harvey Dent rather than Gordon. The character was just done really well - hell, he was even sympathetic, for small, minute flashes of humanity before he'd flash a twisted smile or start laughing - nay, cackling - or blow something up and remind you this is one dangerous motherfucker.

Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Gary Oldman and Morgan Freeman all recaptured their form from Begins seamlessly. Plus, a nice cameo from the good Dr. Crane made the film really feel like a continuation of the story from the first - not just a sequel made for money, but made because there's more to tell. I like the airtime they give to Lucius Fox in this series. Freeman has done an excellent job, but he isn't one of the most lovable old people on film for no good reason.

Aaron Eckhardt was an excellent addition as Harvey Dent. Smooth-talking, successful, but prone to flashes of rage Harvey Dent. The development of the Harvey character and consequent transformation into Two-Face is one of the tragic elements of the character that was so sorely, SORELY missing from Tommy Lee Jones' hamfisted attempt a decade ago, so it's nice to see him done justice (no pun intended). Definite influences from TAS in terms of the set-up and eventual appearance of the character, minus the ongoing psychological B-story. Anyway, it was done really well.

There was only one scene that I had a gripe with. At Bruce's fundraiser for Harvey, the Joker shows up and causes some mayhem and throws Rachel out the window, who Batman dives after to save. The scene effectively finishes with Batman and Rachel having survived a massive fall, Harvey locked in a closet somewhere and the Joker in a penthouse full of scared people. But... the scene never resolves itself? Am I to believe that the Joker just walked out of there and let everyone go? Or that Harvey just made his way out of the closet? And even if he did, why wasn't he confused as to why Bruce assaulted him from behind to shove him in there in the first place? I dunno. There was just something... unfinished... about that scene, but before anyone can really reflect on it, the film keeps going and we chalk it up to suspension of disbelief. BUT, that is a small gripe for a near three-hour long film that otherwise I find very hard to find major fault with.

The story was told well, there were nice twists and turns along the way, excellent special effects, one of the most fitting and engaging scores that I've heard for a superhero flick, and the film was wrapped up in a way that dealt with whatever had been brought forth in the film, but left it nice and open for the next chapter in the saga.

Loved it. Loved it. Loved it.

[NeanderCarl]

Just got back from seeing this. I loved it so much I think I might cry.

Loved it. Loved it. Loved it.

Look... if you didn't like it, just say so.

[MCEazy]

Crap I wish you didn't have to have a credit card to pre-order tickets :(

[mitchables]

Look... if you didn't like it, just say so.

I am a fanboy, I can't help these things. :'(

[Requiem]

Hate you so much right now mitch. I have to wait till either Sunday or Monday to fucking see this because that is when DS gets back. :(

[NeanderCarl]

I'm not much of a comic book fan, or even a huge Batman fan, but definitely gonna try make an effort to see this when it comes out. I only recently watched Batman Begins on DVD, having been put off the franchise after the terrible Clooney/Kilmer films, but must confess to enjoying it. I looooooooove the Nicholson Joker though, so I'm looking forward to Ledger's performance because it seems to have gone in a very different direction, which is great because he would have found it very difficult to top Jack had he tried to play the same kind of Joker.

[Mr. Nerfect]

My best friend isn't the biggest Batman fan ever, and he knows his movies. He said it was fucking great, and called it one of the greatest movies he has ever seen, and compared it with The Godfather. Not to try and set expectations too high, or anything. :shifty:

Going to see it tomorrow. Should be awesome. :y:

[YOUR Hero]

It opens on my BDAY :love:

[The Mask]

Crap I wish you didn't have to have a credit card to pre-order tickets :(

not as much as i do, with my prebooked stolen debit card.

[The Mackem]

Going to be good :cool:

[Fox]

not as much as i do, with my prebooked stolen debit card.

You can walk to the theater and buy your tickets with cash.

I'm seeing this on Friday morning at 9am. Figure all the crazy fan boys will have seen it at either midnight, 3am or 6am prior to me, adults will have work as it is not "Batman Day" (for them, anyways) and little children will not be going to the movie unaccompanied, nor this early. It is summer break after all.

My logic is flawless, right?

[NeanderCarl]

My logic is flawless, right?

Yep. As is the logic of the other 200 people in the queue who thought the same thing.

[Mr. Monday Morning]

Seriously, don't underestimate this one. Hell I was looking at booking for an IMAX screening and all the good seats are gone in every screening until about August 5th or something (it comes out here 7/25)

[Reavant]

all the good seats? its first come first serve as long as you come early

[Mr. Monday Morning]

Uh no, this one has reserved seating. Why do you think I would say that otherwise.

[Lux]

L O L

[Champion of Europa]

This movie just gave me a four week long boner.

Absolutely amazing.

[Lara Emily]

Rarely does a film hold up against extreme hype this is one of them.

[Loose Cannon]

Sunday for me. can't wait.

[AdrianM]

awesome!

possibly the best film i've ever seen.
can't wait for a third one now :D

[AdrianM]

Yea, I know, I can already see the:

"It was ok, but.........on here

there won't be much of that, trust me!
the only gripe I had is the part with scarecrow.

btw, i haven't spolied the movie at all

[MCEazy]

seein this on saturday, too fucking crowded to go tomorrow, plus I can save money by going with my gf and friends on saturday as opposed to going to the movie tommorow w/ friends then doing something else with the girlfriend on saturday lol.

[Indifferent Clox]

omg omg omg I am seeing this tonight so stoked.

[Lux]

What time is it where you are?

[Fox]

Just got back.

Amazing film. Don't miss this.
