BATMAN THE DARK KNIGHT

[Dudebro]

I used all caps because this movie deserves the attention.
I won't spoil it for people but seriously, GO SEE THIS MOVIE. Even if you're not a batman fan this movie should still impress you. Heath Ledgers performance was simply awesome. I don't say that because he died after making the movie, he was honestly awesome.

It's so awesome that now I don't like the Michael Keaton batman movies. Jack Nicholson as the joker was good back then but now it looks like crap compared to Ledgers version. This is from a guy who hated ledgers movies up until now. Well Brothers Grimm wasn't too bad.


Please only vote after you've seen the movie since it will matter.

[Tails]

wait Heath directed the movie?

yeah its one i plan to see, too bad i recently quit my job so no more movie passes :(

but we are going to scrape money to see this, but people on the radio spoiled it glad i wasnt listening.

[Dudebro]

compared to Ledgers version
Is that what confused you?

[Tails]

you got a 10 4 good buddy.

[Dudebro]

In context it makes sense.
Jack Nicholson as the joker was good back then but now it looks like crap compared to Ledgers version.
Ledgers version meaning how he played it vs how Nicholson played it.

[oasis]

simply put with out ruining anything

heath played the joker the best out of all of them

jack nicklson's character for the joker was the best by far though

and yes there is a difference

[joshofsilence]

one intense movie

The guy who hated Ledgers movies is me. By Ledgers version I meant how he played Joker. Maybe it's just me but I don't see how that's confusing.

i mean you said ledgers movies, basically i thought you were saying he was a director.

and Twoface is in it? :o

[Dudebro]

Yeah it's not much of a spoiler since Harvey Dent is listed in the movie. As long as no one goes into details it's cool.

And I meant I didn't like A knights tale and BrokeBack Mountain(yeah I watched it :-[), ect, I don't think he's a bad actor in those movies I just didn't like most of his movies.

Just the beard did? Seriously, I thought Brokeback Mountain was a good movie. ???

From what I've heard and seen of Batman, the movie seems like just all flash and cinematics. I'm not into all the special effects and Hollywood glitz. I didn't like the first Batman or read comics so my opinions a bit skewed. It just seems like another crappy superhero movie to me. :-\

[oasis]

well tenser its acctually not really all that bad

I am not into the hyper of all the special CG but this movie did it very well there were action scenes but not many of them

most of the movie seemed to just be good diolauge

also with twoface I thought that they were setting it up for a second movie because about half way through the movie I was like this move has to be ending because the plot is picking up but no it just kept going.

the second half of the movie is way better.

Most of the movies I go out to see are at the drive-ins. Its nice because the truck has two bench seats so the boy has the entire back to himself. By the time the first movie ends he's passed out and the wife and I can get a bit more comfortable with the front to ourselves during the second movie.

The last two we went to see were Kung-Fu Panda and Indiana Jones 4. I thought KFP was fun and the boy liked it. I was bored with IJ4 but I don't care. I just like the idea of relaxing and spending time with the family.

The last movie that I seen that I really liked was Gloomy Sunday and that was about a year ago. :P

{OOC: You mauled the hell out of the word "dialogue" there. :P

Indi 4 had a bad ending, nothing like i would expect for an explorer.

Never saw Kung Fu Panda..

you should see Get Smart Tenser nice movie.

[mj23]

i am going to see the dark knight tonight with my brother i will try to post a review of it afterward

[Tails]

if you spoil anything i will smite you all the way to heck.

[Timber Wolf]

I just saw it last night, Ledger played the sado-masochistic role extremely well, It wasn't quite as dark as the comic verion of "The Dark Knight" but that was a little different story. Anyway, this movie adaptation was one of the few Batman movies i liked, lol one of the few new movies i liked. I thought it was amazing, If the third one is as good as these 2 have been I'm definatly going to see them in theaters, to bad Ledger OD'ed. but yeah, I was actually going to start a recommened thread about it until i logged on and saw this. Great movies, in all aspects

[oasis]

@tenser the drive in kicks ass that is where I see all my new movies. This one included.

[Tails]

@tenser the drive in kicks ass that is where I see all my new movies. This one included.
we have no drive ins here.

[Timber Wolf]

lol same here, used to live in Wis. they had 'em there, and Drive in's are fun, cheaper too, but the Theater on PAFB is really cheap so i can't complain

[Kugyince]

We have two drive-ins near where I live giving us a total of three screens.

It's nice though because both share the same website: http://elranchoandozoner29.tripod.com/

[mj23]

i much prefer drive ins their just cooler
the last one near me closed down last year :'(

[Metricus]

Me and my friends are gonna go see this movie tomarrow, and I just can't wait for it. Everyone I've talked to saids Ledger is amazing in the movie, and I can't wait to see Two Face's role also.

[Dudebro]

Tenser if you watch this movie and don't like it even alittle bit then you have no taste in movies. Just saying.

[Timber Wolf]

LMAO, worst part is, I agree with Dudebro :-[

I might say the same thing about you actually enjoying the movie.

I'm not going to keep my hopes up. Like I said before, I really just don't enjoy "summer blockbusters" like Spiderman and what have you. They're all looks and no content.

True, but its their job to overcome my expectations. :P

[Timber Wolf]

lol, i usually agree with Tenser's point of view, I don't like alot of movies especially the hyped-up ones, but this actually was a good movie

[Kugyince]

I could also claim that my willingness to pay to see the movie even though I question its appeal to me is enough open mindedness in its own right.

[oasis]

hate is really a strong word

I would put it more like

if you have a choice play super mario bros 1
or play super mario bros galaxy on the wii.

most people would choose the wii

[Metricus]

I just watch this movie, and it was better then AVP not the new one the first one. This is like my new favorite movie, and Heath Ledger is the best Joker ever! (and they did a pretty good job with Two Face also)

[ilovepandas]

i think heath ledger did an excellent job as the joker.
and the movie was epic.
so do you guys think they'll bring in the penguin or the riddler after two face?

[Tails]

Riddler for sure.

[Dudebro]

I just hope it's Jim Carrey again, I really think he was born to play the riddler. Just sucks the movie he was in wasn't that good.

[Tails]

if your talking about Batman Returns that was good.

[Dudebro]

My mistake, for some reason I thought it was a clooney one. Still, besides Tommy lee jones and Carrey I didn't much like it. Micheal Keaton/Christian Bale are the only good batmen imo.

[Tails]

you know im into watching classic movies, im gonna watch the old batman again and compare them, on who i like.

[Timber Wolf]

I did that the day after I watched Dark Knight and I've never liked the ones that came out in the 80's & 90's, but I don't know the Penguin may be a little too heesey to introduce in this version, but i bet the riddler will be in

[Dudebro]

If they continue the series more with the current cast then it's only a matter of time before we see Penguin. If anything he'd be the best choice for the next one. He's a big name like joker, everyones heard of him. And he's a wierdo character. Perfect. Not to mention people would wanna see who can fill Danny Devitos' shoes. Btw I forgot to mention, I love DeVito as Penguin. ;D

Bane needs to come same with Catwoman.

[mignelli]

heath ledger gave the best acting proformance ive ever seen in a movie. Best movie of 08. I dont care what else comes out this year, this is the only one I care about.

[powerfullove]

I agree with you dude. He immersed himself so well into the character. Just Wow, I don't think anyone else could do a better psycho character like Ledger can.

By the way, was TwoFace actually an official villain in this movie? Or just a short appearance?

[Timber Wolf]

He's an intergral part of the movie but "Two Face" is only a villain for what 1/4~1/2 of the movie?

[ilovepandas]

I agree with you dude. He immersed himself so well into the character. Just Wow, I don't think anyone else could do a better psycho character like Ledger can.

By the way, was TwoFace actually an official villain in this movie? Or just a short appearance?

i think that if there is another movie after this one, that twoface's introduction was in this movie and the next movie will be his debut.

i also think there are soooo many batman movies that i am loosing track of all of them hahahaha :P

[powerfullove]

So TwoFace wasn't dead at the end of the movie?

[mignelli]

I dont think so. Its actually hard to say, really. Jim Gordon played dead in the movie. SO whats to stop harv to do it so he could duck out the cops? I think it would be great if he was in the next movie. Besides, Batman fell out that window aswell, but then again, hes batman.

[oasis]

your getting into spoilers and some people (TENSER) have not seen the movie so just watch what you say a bit or put it in a spoiler box and say its possible spoiler like this

**Possible spoiler**

I absolutly hated Two-Face in this movie his character was so lame I do hope he was faking dead so he can redeam the char in the next movie I mean come on you go insane because your girlfriend died and they should have saved her instead of him...
they did try to save her joker gave the adresses backwards.


you guys are also forgetting about the riddler... awesome batman char.

[Tails]

oasis, i havent seen it either so i dont want to be spoiled.

[mignelli]

sorry peeps. It would be hard to find somebody good to play the riddler..... I say penguin and/or catwoman in the next movie.

[ZedIsDead]

People everywhere are completely raving about this movie. I have to go see it, even though I'm sure I'll be disappointed.

This bothers me, you really think this movie could be getting such good reviews from EVERYONE by paying off critics? I hear of movies with huge stars coming out all the time that are crapped on by reviewers, wouldn't people like george clooney/jennifer lopez/ect wanna pay them if they could? I think you're just being difficult about this. BATMAN RULES just admit it.

[Timber Wolf]

lol Batman doesnt rule, THIS VERSION of Batman rules...

[Dudebro]

lol Batman doesnt rule, THIS VERSION of Batman rules...

No. Batman rules. The versions played by Val Kilmer and George Clooney sucked. I wanna punch Clooney in the throat for what he did to batman.

[Timber Wolf]

what the 80's and 90's ones? lol they ruined batman for me, permenantly, i think, those movies game me brain damage...

[Dudebro]

what the 80's and 90's ones? lol they ruined batman for me, permenantly, i think, those movies game me brain damage...

No, the first couple ones with Micheal Keaton were good. After that they just wanted to make money off the first twos success. That's why they reinvented it with Batman Begins, the clooney/kilmer ones turned off alot of fans.

[Timber Wolf]

lol and the worst part is, I liked Kilmer in Batman Begins...

[Dudebro]

lol and the worst part is, I liked Kilmer in Batman Begins...

I'm a very black and white kinda guy. Since I didn't like Batman Begins very much I just say I hated it. I admit Kilmer wasn't too bad. He just wasn't perfect for it. IMO Keaton is the best batman.

I know Batman rules, but paying off is what happens nowadays, it occurs in football.

Batman 80s/90s i liked, they even made a good game out of the first one..

the best batman has to be...... ADAM WEST :o

[TrakMastaTom]

OK, I just got home from finally seeing this movie. I was a skeptical, and I am pretty sure I have higher standards than everyone on this forum (except maybe Tenser by the sound of it). I am a movie snob, and I will argue about movies for the rest of my life, even with people with a similar taste than me.

I will first address this statement: "OMG HEATH LEDGER IS THA BESTEST JOKER EVER!!!"
Yep. Heath Ledger was spot on and I, for one, couldn't believe it. Fantastic performance.

This movie was fantastic in its own right. I thoroughly enjoyed it and it had very few shortcomings (one of them being Aaron Eckhart, but only in a few places).

I prefer my Christian Bale to be Patrick Bateman any day.

I liked the film a lot and Tenser, I would recommend it even to you. Unless you completely hate the genre, you will probably like it.

I get it two thumbs up!

[Dudebro]

the best batman has to be...... ADAM WEST
I do like Adam West alot. But his Batman wasn't the same thing. I mean cmon, in one episode he had a giant cartoon bomb(the big round ones with a wick) and he couldn't find a place to throw it. First it was a baby carriage(I think) then a school of ducks in the water, I forget where he tossed it. Wish it was at Robin.
Oh and let's not forget when he was climbing up a ladder on a moving helicopter. Then a shark bites his leg and holds on. What's he do? Shark repellant! ::)
Don't get me wrong, 60s batman is funny as hell. But it's not on the same level as the recent movies.

I'm the same way. I'm very critical of movies/video games/books. It has to really impress me before I'll recommend it to anyone.

I know right? I couldn't believe it either. Wasn't expecting such an effort from him. Really too bad he died, I would've liked to see him again as joker. Gonna be hard to ever beat his performance now.

See I wasnt around during the time they aired it, so ive watched reruns on TVland and it was good. Don't dis West Dudebro, if he was at his age again he would kick ass in there movies.

I was thinking about 50 :-[

[Dudebro]

Yeah well I may be old but at least I posted pics to show how handsome I am.

Btw, I've been reading rumors that Riddler really might be in the next movie. Seems one of the minor characters had a similar name to the Riddlers real name. I doubt they did it by accident.
Also one character seemed like she could turn into Harlequinn.
Next part might be minor spoilers.
I'm convinced Commissioner Gordons son is gonna be either Robin or a badguy I can't think of atm also. He's worships Batman alot. They make a point of pointing that out. I'm thinking towards the end, the part with Two Face.

[Tails]

That would be cool, isn't Harley and Joker two peas?

[Dudebro]

If by that you mean kind of GF&BF then yeah. In a wierd way.

Meaning you cannot have one without the other.

Well not really. You can have Joker without Harly but not the other way around.

Well, thats what I mean. If Harley is in the next movie, so is the Joker.

I can't wait until she swings her mallet. xD

But, we forgot a few Batman villains. Bane, Poison Ivy, Catwoman, Penguin, they should all return, maybe even Toyman.

Just to clarify this, due to great reviews, I'm going to have very high expectations for it when I finally see it, and I think it's likely that it might not live up to them.

I highly doubt that. Robin has to be named, Either Dick Grayson(most likely), Jason Todd, or Tim Drake, considering the next movie follows the comics. Anyone can worship Batman, really. Gordon's son is way too young to ever grow up to be Robin next to Bruce Wayne's side. Wayne would probably be like 45, before Gordon's son grows up to be a teenager. I think the kid is just a minor character, hardly significant to the Batman's story.

[cormark13]

My $.02 (some of which may be rehash... didn't read all 7 pages):

1- Ever since I heard (could be apocryphal) that Ledger spent a month in total isolation in his apartment trying to "get into character" for the Joker, I've been stoked about the potential results. I was also a bit skeptical about the near-deification of his role; seemed like people were over-glorifying the spot because Ledger died. As has been said, though, I was wrong... Ledger was the most gloriously, beautifully twisted character I could have imagined. Insane yet measured, masochistic at times, and just CREEPY in his use of logic and philosophy.

For that reason alone, I hope they do not reprise his role, at least in the current series. Let the demise of the role be an honor to the man who gave it more life than we could have imagined. I WILL say, I was impressed with the (quite good) reprisal of Rachel's role by a different actress; with the Joker, though, seems like there's a TON more potential for disappointment (plus, Katie Holmes isn't dead; that changes the situation quite a bit).

2- I thought Eckhart (contrary to some opinions) played his role beautifully. The hospital scene... (no spoiler); you can almost FEEL the conflict between good and evil going on there.

3- A couple minor disappointments; no movie is void of them. But all in all, rather glorious a film (though I really wouldn't want my hypothetical child to see it before about age 14/15).

4- And I agree with PFL; seems like they'd have to go the Dick Grayson route. Though after the abysmal failure that the LAST Robin was, I dunno how quick they're gonna be to reprise that role (though, Bale managed to salvage Batman himself from the wretched Clooney).

Final note: I'd say that Christian Bale was equaled or outmatched by several people in the movie. And that is no insult to Bale; the movie was that well-cast and powerfully-executed. Yeah, it's like that 8)

Yeah, I agree with P.Love. If I recall correctly Robin's name was Tim Drake, but your idea about that other girl was good. Through the whole movie we were thinking "she is totaly a bad guy."

[Dudebro]

I'm glad so many people are interested in this movie. I just went and saw it again and it was just as good the second time around(although spending @40-50$ kinda sucks).

I don't know a whole lot about the characters backstories from the comics but I think this movie purposely added minor characters so they can become goodguys/badguys in the next movies.

Some people just spent $150 to see Hannah Montanna in theaters and now that $15 movie is on TV for free.

[Dudebro]

No, I spent 10 per ticket. Two people. Also some popcorn and a drink. Comes to @ 50 bucks for seeing the movie twice. But yeah still a rip off. Good thing the movie was awesome.

The new catwoman!

[Dudebro]

You know, with her popularity I wouldn't be shocked if she did become catwoman in a few years. Like her 'dark' role to show she's not just a pop star. ::)

In that picture she looks like a lifeless corpse.. O.o

Thats a great idea. Get Chris Redfield or Leon Kennedy to beat her up.

I know Batman rules, but paying off is what happens nowadays, it occurs in football.


That's certainly news to me. Can you support that statement with any type of evidence?

Simple, spy gate.

They paid off the people to take films of the training camps, and I don't doubt other teams have done or are doing it.

[wanman]

I'm going to watch this film tommorow :P (finally).

[Billy Hoyle]

Spygate turned out to be much ado about nothing. The Patriots were caught illegally filming the hand signals of oppossing players and coaches. It is highly unlikely that the Rams' walkthrough before Super Bowl XXXVI was ever actually filmed and no tape of it ever surfaced.

I don't know where you are getting your information from. I have not read or watched anything concerning paying "people" off to take films of training camps. The only evidence outside of the Patriots' video assistant being caught filming against the Jets in 2007 is the tapes that Matt Walsh submitted to the NFL and they were from several games during the 2000 - '02 seasons.

[Dudebro]

We really talking about the supposed Pats cheating thing now? GET OVER IT. The only reason it was made to be such a big deal is because the Pats are/were Dominating and everyone else was being crybabies about it. Like you said Tails..
and I don't doubt other teams have done or are doing it.
So why single out the Pats? Oh that's right, because the media made a huge stink about it.
Is anyone really doubting how good the players were/are on the Pats? If so that's just sour grapes.

About the supposed movie pay offs. This is so ridiculous it's almost funny. I say almost because spreading that kind of rumor is bad, someone might think it's a known fact.
Movies get reviewed by critics and yeah, maybe some critics have an agenda so they'll be overly positive or negative but in general if a movie has good reviews it's because it's good. Besides, if you listen to critics opinions rather than form your own then you are already failing at life.
This doesn't just apply to movies, if you listen to critics opinions about food/games/ect then you're doing it wrong.

Sorry to let this bother me so much but this is how I feel.

[Kugyince]

I feel differently. I don't feel cheating is something you should just push aside or say "well everyone's doing it." That is not how I was raised nor how I wish to raise my son.

I am a psychotic Steelers fan, but if they were caught cheating one of two things would have to happen.

Dan Rooney (owner) would have to immediately release any coaches and/or players that benefited from cheating.
-or-
I would no longer be a fan. Simple.

And yes, I do doubt Brady's abilities. I doubted them before, and I doubt them even more now.

[Dudebro]

I feel differently. I don't feel cheating is something you should just push aside or say "well everyone's doing it."
I don't think cheating should be just pushed aside either. My point was people made such a huge stink over the Pats supposedly cheating but they barely talk about any other teams doing it. I remember hearing this isn't the first time a team has done this kind of thing. I could be wrong because I couldn't stand hearing about this 24/7(when it was more recent) so I didn't pay attention to alot of it.

And yes, I do doubt Brady's abilities. I doubted them before, and I doubt them even more now.
Let me just say first, I'm not a sports fan. I watch it off and on and I do like Football/Baseball. I've watched plenty of Pats games and I'll agree with you sorta. Brady is a good QB, really can't say he isn't. But he's not the best I've ever seen. I think the Pats recent team has been good overall. The QB isn't out there by himself after all.
From my point of view Brady is shown to be the main person on the team. I see this all the time where I live since Mass is a huge Pats state. The rest of the guys on the team are left behind. This is one of the things I hate about Pro Sports.

But, this is a BATMAN topic. The title is even in Caps so we don't forget it. Let's try to steer this back in the right direction.
Maggie Gyllenhaal, is it just me or does she have a droopy face? She's not ugly really just kind odd looking.

[Billy Hoyle]

I don't find Maggie Gyllenhaal attractive in the least bit. I'm 105% heterosexual, but her brother is easier to look at than her.

[Timber Wolf]

lol so there's an unaccounted for 95% :P ::), caught ya, lol jk, but there are plenty of worse people to look at, 1 example sticks out in my mind Rosie O'Donnell, BLEH!

[wanman]

I watched it today. It was amazing :D 9/10.

Yeah, totaly. I so liked the other girl from the first movie.

[powerfullove]

I know right? You know the last actor received a Razzle for Worst Supporting Actress in the Batman Begins?

[DarknessMush0323]

I did not see this movie yet. I want to badly. But movie theaters are expensive now. But I will see this movie soon.

[Billy Hoyle]

Just saw it Tuesday night. I had to take a leak about 5 minutes into it, but couldn't bring myself to miss any of it. Made 2.5 hours seem like 10 minutes.

My only gripe is with the ending, but I guess they made it like that for a reason.

[oasis]

Did anyone here the Rumor (some people told me this was confermed) that Johnny Depp is being cast as the Riddler in the next movie

http://movies.hollyscoop.com/johnny-depp/johnny-depp-to-play-the-riddler_846.aspx

[Dudebro]

Depp should be good as Riddler, even though I'd rather have Jim Carrey reprise his role. Also that link told me something I didn't know, Philip Seymor Hoffman might be Penguin. I wish Danny Devito could reprise his role too. Hope Hoffman doesn't suck.
The other rumor is Angelina Jolie might be Catwoman. I really hope they don't do that.
