Alfred is black now?

 

[siege]

Michael Caine is black?

 

[Prince of Space]

This could possibly be the greatest movie ever.

 

[silenttwn]

This movie is gonna kick ass except for the Batmobile.. well, we'll see about it. But right now I miss my old Burton Batmobile.


Also..

Bale as Bruce Wayne and Batman. He looks pissed.

 

[LakeEarth]

The topic name confuses and scares me.

 

[Outdoor Miner]

Michael Caine is black?

Twas a joke

On a somewhat related note, isn't Mr. Caine South African?

 

[fart]

this is a fucking great cast

 

[heavy liquid]

I've got high hopes for this.

*crosses fingers*

 

[Defensor]

Niesen could have fooled me as Ghul in that pic.

 

[siege]

On a somewhat related note, isn't Mr. Caine South African?

No, he's British.

 

[ScientificNinja]

Wow - this is a *really* good looking cast...

 

[DSN2K]

first black... now south african,

dear lord GAF.

 

[Lil' Dice]

"I'm trynna drive you to da sto'!"

 

[AniHawk]

Gordon actually looks like how he was drawn in TAS.

 

[Comfort_Eagle]

Who is directing this? Yeah, Im too lazy to look it up.

 

[Ecrofirt]

Looks good!

 

[karasu]

Great cast, but Gordon and Ducard look a little goofy. :/

He almost looks like Chun from Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins.

 

[Rlan]

Wow, Gordon looks great!

 

[Dujour]

Gordon actually looks like how he was drawn in TAS.

Nah, it's more of a nod to the Year One Gordon. Youthful looks, glasses, even the same stache.

 

[AniHawk]

Nah, it's more of a nod to the Year One Gordon. Youthful looks, glasses, even the same stache.

Sorry, wouldn't know, but that makes sense that it would.

 

[Memles]

Christopher Nolan, of Momento and Insomnia.

 

[Guzim]

This movie is going to kick ass.

 

[Bob White]

Christopher Nolan, of Momento and Insomnia.

Really? That's some cool shit right there.

There is no way in hell this movie should suck. Everything is perfect.

 

[Willco]

Ducard is supposed to be like Ras Al Ghul's decoy/second-hand man, so it makes sense why he looks like that.

 

[ohamsie]

Pleeeeeeeeeeease be good. Who is the villain in this one? Rha's al Ghul or however you spell it?

 

[Willco]

Pleeeeeeeeeeease be good. Who is the villain in this one? Rha's al Ghul or however you spell it?

Ra's Al Ghul and The Scarecrow are the main villains in this one, with Carmine Falcon and Joe Chill playing minor roles. It's a complete reboot of the franchise that leads right into the sequel that will feature another memorable rogue.

 

[Dujour]

Ducard is supposed to be like Ras Al Ghul's decoy/second-hand man, so it makes sense why he looks like that.

Oh, what's his name. Obo? That bloodline that's always protected Rah's throughout the centuries. They should have just got a big, strong bald guy to play him. No acting skille nee....oh snap, dude, that's Vin Diesel!

 

[Willco]

Nah, it's not Obo. This is some movie-only creation. I'd say why, but I don't want to spoil the flick.

 

[effzee]

refresh my memory...been a while but who is ducard? i mean i know liam neeson is playing him but who is he?


anyway i discussed this a bit in the all that is spiderman thread but here is something im looking forward to for batman:

i know batman more than any other superhero is the more complicated/crazed/dark/serious superhero....and would never lend himself to the movie screen as say spiderman or even the ensemble of X2. he isnt wolverine and he isnt spiderman...two characters that all people love and translate well into a movie...BUT... i sure this latest batman isnt like his previous movie incarnations in a few way. i want the tone of the movie to be serious and not campy like it degenerated into but batman HAS TO BE MORE MOBILE!!!! i mean after watching spiderman i realize batman in movies has become way tooo stiff...as if he doesnt swing from bldgs....or doesn fight. watching the movies he just seems to be throwing punches and that is it. i dont know if they want to use CGI but i sure as hell hope batman isnt as stiff and boring in action as were keaton/kilmer/and the god forsaken clooney.

BATMAN CAN MOVE!

 

[karasu]

spoiler tags then!

Have you read the script?

 

[Willco]

I really don't want to let the cat out of the bag accidentally. So if you want to know, you can PM me. People who have read the script should know, as well.

 

[mattx5]

I have read the script, I just wanted to know what you thought of

Spoiler

the twist?

I'm not really familiar with every detail of the Batman mythos. Do you think the twist is gonna piss off the fans?

 

[effzee]

who is playing ras al ghul? the dude from the last samurai?

 

[Willco]

I have read the script, I just wanted to know what you thought of the twist?

Spoiler

I'm not really familiar with every detail of the Batman mythos. Do you think the twist is gonna piss off the fans?

No, but I don't think you should be talking about any particular part of Batman that involves anything outside of public releases without spoiler tags. Including your last two sentences.

 

[mattx5]

I edited in spoiler tags, though I don't really think they were all that necessary.....

Oh well

 

[Willco]

I think it would be unfair to give even a slight indication of the spoilers to people who haven't read the script. It's not the only one to be fair, but it's certainly an important one.

 

[FoneBone]

I have to say, my expectations are ridiculously high for this -- I just don't see how it could turn out badly, and I think it may well be the best comic-based movie yet.

It may, but it won't. That mantle belongs to your friendly neighboorhood Spider-Man, but Batman could work up to X2 level 'fo sure.

 

[FoneBone]

I'll agree to disagree there -- I'm not eager to drag this thread off-topic. But Spider-Man 2 was pretty damn good.

 

[Matlock]

Batman 1966 disagrees with you.

 

[Penguin]

Batman 1966 disagrees with you.

I use to like that movie.

Then I brought to complete my batman movie collection (even Batman and Robin) and the more I watch that movie, the cheesier and cheesier it becomes.

And I really start to well dislike the movie, but eh.

Maybe give it a break, but my little brother loves watching it.
