The Dark Knight

[CBright7831]

Its not about money...it's about sending a message!

I like those Gothan Tonight features. What makes them great is that they have put a little bit of new footage of Wayne, Gordon and Dent in them.

 

My only question is who is the female broadcaster in the videos? She seems better then Anthony Michael Hall in the role of reporter.

That was great, 5 minutes down, just need to see the remaining 146.

God dammit, it's been pulled. Anyone got an alternate link?

Batman star Christian Bale has declared he will quit the comic book movie franchise if producers ever decide to reintroduce the caped crusader's sidekick Robin.

 

Bale took on the role of the legendary action hero in 2005's Batman Begins and will be seen again in The Dark Knight, which is due for release later this month.

 

But the actor is hoping that the character of Robin is not brought back into any of future Batman movies - because he will resign in protest.

 

He says, "If Robin crops up in one of the new Batman films, I'll be chaining myself up somewhere and refusing to go to work."

 

I was never much of a Robin fan myself. Thank you, Christian Bale!

The wait's been years now but the payoff is going to be so sweet. I really appreciate the fact that they know we're dying on this end waiting for it, so they keep setting us up with great ***** to at least take the edge off.

[Anakin Flair]

I wouldn't mind if they brought in Robin, as long as they did it well. Perhaps if they skipped past Dick and went straight to Tim Drake? He's a more realistic character for these films.

[HollywoodSpikeJenkins]

The only IMax showing that is sold out in my area is the 12:01 AM showing opening night. So I'll just wait a day, no big deal.

[Lord of The Curry]

I'm trying to go into this movie with an unbiased view of things but all of those "Best movie ever" and "Ledger deserves an Oscar" talk is making it difficult.

What about Jason Todd?

 

But I heard the director of these movies wasn't planning to bring in Robin anyway. After all, this is the early career of Batman...Robin, in any form, would still be a kid at this time...if not a baby.

I have to admit that while I am anticipating this a great deal (certainly more than Batman Begins, which comparatively had much less hype), some aspects of the marketing worry me a little. The trailers and ads focus almost entirely on The Joker, which makes me wonder if Nolan is going to end up falling into the Burton trap of giving The Joker all the interesting stuff to do and mostly ignores Batman.

 

My brother did note that at least there was a previous Batman origin film this time, unlike in 1989 where Batman simply shows up.

[Yuna_Firerose]

Of course they're going to focus more on Joker. Like it or not - and I certainly don't - the death of a star = big bucks. Showing a lot of him is to entice the mainstream audience who likely didn't see the first film and are only interested because of Heath.

[The Ghost of bps21]

They were focusin all of the advertising on the Joker before Ledger died. This is actually kinda cut down from what it was before he died.

[Canadian Brandon]

The movie is tracking very well so far. I would not be surprised if TDK challenges Spiderman 3 for the record opening weekend.

July 18...

 

Shit, this is going to be the longest two weeks of my life.

Haha, sick.

Are you kidding? It's totally going to be beat out by Hancock.

[luke-o]

I've got my ticket booked for a advanced screening on 23rd July.

 

GWAN!

[Guest !!!]

ugh why are there so many pictures of Heath Ledger as the Joker in people's signatures here? Because he's dead?

[Brett Favre]

I had them before he was dead. So did many others.

[The Ghost of bps21]

And it has begun. I knew as soon as he died that it wasn't going to be an overhyping of his work that bothered me...it was going to be the people who claim that anything and everything having to do with interest in the movie is because he died.

 

So damned predictable.

[bob_barron]

Because he's portraying an iconic character in one of the summer's most anticipated movies? What's wrong with that?

[Guest !!!]

I dunno, I don't come in here much, so I guess I just underestimated the extent to which people still cared about Batman.

[PUT THAT DICK IN MY MOUTH!]

Did you notice that this thread is 23 pages long? Single-topic threads here never get that long!

 

EDIT: whoa, italicized 3 looks kinda goofy.

Joker must be a Repulican.

 

That "LOL! You serious?" look he gives Leahy at 1:19 makes me smile.

You can be such a dumbass sometimes.

[CBright7831]

For some reason when Joker points his gun at someone in that clip I kept thinking to myself "Who the hell does that remind me of?" Then I remembered, it reminds of Sting (crow 96-98 period) pointing his bat at the nWo.
