I'm worried thatthis energy project is going to end up resolving a plot point in a cheap and unsatisfying manner, in the same vein as the cell phone sonar radar machine at the end of TDK
Dude, it's a comic book movie.
Hey now.
Er, what?Dude, it's a comic book movie.
Exactly.
I won't be shocked if we see Bane's backstory, but I doubt it will be tied that closely with Bruce's. It cheapens the real connection, which is that they went down different paths and visions of justice, not that Bruce directly physically hurt him.
Nice LW2 reference too.
heh, ok, no one likes that thought. Good thing Bane has nothing to do with the LOS, right?
Yeah the soundtrack sounds decent so far. I love the nolan batman theme but I dunno if it tops batman 89
Nolan-Bat has a theme?
Hum it for me.
Burton's Batman films still have the best soundtracks in this franchise.
And its just completely pointless bit of connection. It's like when one of the bad guys in Lethal Weapon 2 is revealed to be the one who killed Riggs' wife in the first movie. 90% of the people reading this and have seen both movies don't even remember that detail, because it's that's fuckin' superfluous. Especially because he also kills Riggs' new love interest, so we already got a reason to want Riggs to kick his ass, why that added detail? Why can't Bane just be this awesome Anti-Batman, he's gotta be there since the beginning and shit. Stupid.
I slightly disagree with the LW2 thing. Everybody has always hated it, but I liked it for the sole reason that the wife murder is the one thing that could take the lid back off Riggs' insanity. Riggs had previously closed that 'being crazy' chapter in his life and Vicky's death being revealed to be a murder allows Riggs to return to being a fucking nutjob. Murtaugh's 'Yeah, I've seen that look in your eyes before' really says it all.
Pretty sure Burton didn't direct Batman Begins.
If you want to talk about a theme, sure. Overall soundtrack? It's not even close.
Burton's Batman films still have the best soundtracks in this franchise. Also for as bad as the Schumacher films were I think they had some pretty decent tracks too.
Why can't we be friends...why can't we be friends....why can't we be friends...why can't we be friends.
THAT'S LETHAL WEAPON 4.
You just destroyed whatever chance we ever had of being friends.
I really do love LW4's credits sequence with all the photos over the years. Great stuff.
Why can't we be friends...why can't we be friends....why can't we be friends...why can't we be friends.
Is Maverick set in the Lethal Weapon universe?
Man, Riggs should have died at the end of LW2. When Murtaugh is running down toward him and Knockin' on Heaven's Door starts creeping into the scene, I remember being scared shitless as a kid.
That's another reason why I wanted Black's LW5. It seemed since the beginning that Riggs' has always been going headlong towards his inevitable death. He was supposed to die in a couple of the sequels, but never did.
Would a Jewish character get to kill him?With the ending 4 got I don't think that would work out. Seems like a better ending than anything.
Maybe if Shane Black returned for 3 and killed off Riggs.
Word. The Mask of the Phantasm score is fantastic. La La Land Records apparently still has some copies of their great limited/archival edition of the score: http://www.lalalandrecords.com/BatManMOTP.html Grab one of the last copies while you can! I snagged a copy back when they first launched it, as well as the double disc set of music from Batman: The Animated Series. So good.
Love the continuity from batman 1989 to the TAS theme. Not sure which one is better because I've heard the TAS theme so oftenI got the double disk album from them too. I like the BTS track from Shirley Walker, on the Batman notes, and how adaptable they could be played, to go with the situation on the cartoon.
I'm still pissed Joel Silver completely fucked up any chance of us getting Lethal Weapon 5 a few years ago. A Shane Black penned LW5 at that!
To be honest, that was the biggest disappointment of the game for me.
These people should be ashamed they're not as good of scholars in Shane Blackology as gentlemen such as yourself.I slightly disagree with the LW2 thing. Everybody has always hated it, but I liked it for the sole reason that the wife murder is the one thing that could take the lid back off Riggs' insanity. Riggs had previously closed that 'being crazy' chapter in his life and Vicky's death being revealed to be a murder allows Riggs to return to being a fucking nutjob.

Continue with your Batmen discussions now.
You're god damn right. The ultimate prequel!Is Maverick set in the Lethal Weapon universe?
To be honest, that was the biggest disappointment of the game for me.
