The Dark Knight

[Mod]

I am so fucking pumped for this movie, and this article confirms that:

http://www.wired.com/entertainment/hollywood/magazine/16-07/ff_darknight?currentPage=1

Definitely worth the read.

[Kazaloth]

Mod, you should come to Utah to see this movie, we can also play Rock Band for the Wii after. This is one of those opening night movies for sure... I am really pumped for it too.

[Miro]

UT party...woooooot

[Thuw]

WANT TO SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Umm, can't wait

[Sarum]

Hmm..

Guess I need to hit the IMAX version then.

[RaptorIIC]

I'm equally pumped about this movie. Sarum's idea of some sort of IMAX viewing sounds like the most optimal way to see this movie.

[maxom]

I regret not seeing 300 in an IMAX theater. I will not make that same mistake twice. Definately seeing this in IMAX if possible.

[Miro]

Mod, I love your titty

[lornfang]

We are seeing this in IMAX in SLC. Anyone in SLC that wants to come see it with us should get with me or Kazaloth

[Mirax]

Kagura, IMAX at Chinook, plans should be made.

[RaptorIIC]

I like your style.

Great review, good read.... OMGGGGGGGGG I want to see this so bad.

[maxom]

Yea, I'm definately seeing this in IMAX.

[Mod]

BTW, Tickets are ALREADY selling out...The show I got tickets for is Sold out. So get crackin'.

Some early review blurbs (Spoiler safe I promise they reveal nothing) including gushing praise for Ledger's portrayal as The Joker. I had my reservations about the makeup they were using but I have to say, from the trailers and clips Ive seen, he seems to have fully captured the maniacal energy and 100 proof crazy that the Joker is supposed to be. I know many of you love Nicholson in this role but as I said before, he just never got it quite right. Im talking blow up a bus load of kids cause it seems fun kind of nuts.

[chilindrina]

man im so damn pissed.. it coming out here the 24.. ill had to put the guild on ignore or something.. We usually gets the movie 1 day earlier and seem like lots of the pirate movies were coming from PR.... sigh... Why cant we open it the 18 then with the rest of the world

Jack got the role perfectly right actually. The role Ledger is playing and the role Nicholson played are two COMPLETELY different roles. You can't compare them.

One piece of info for everyone seeing this on IMAX.

There are 2 differnt versions being shown at the IMAX, the normal one and one called the IMAX Experience. The second has several scenes shot specifically with IMAX cameras and stuff (dunno what exactly that means, but prolly involved 3d glasses). So make sure you know which one you are purchasing for.

Tickets in Denver sold out last weekend, so we are hitting the Sunday showing instead.

Also I got to see 300 down in Sydney, which has the biggest movie screen in the world (basically the biggest IMAX of them all), and there were like 10 ppl there, it was fucking pimp.

[Bret]

yeah I got my reserved tickets for Providence on sunday.... gogo

[kittyciara]

haha, I bought my IMAX tickets on the 2nd of July. Can't fucking wait.

[Tartarus]

http://www.cinemablend.com/reviews/The-Dark-Knight-IMAX-3238.html

This review claims unrealness... I guess slight spoilers, but nothing most don't already know

[Shaun]

Bought IMAX ticket tonight; movie better be fucking awesome.

Didn't know about the two different versions, but my ticket says "The Dark Knight: The IMAX Experience."

Hooray for stumbling around & getting the good stuff. Like you Des, I had to go for the Sunday (10:20pm) showing, everything else sold out.

[Desiree]

Wait, AMC Elayne?!? I didn't realise you joined the Rar crew! was the 3:40 on sunday sold out too? That's when I arranged for our crew to go.

[Mod]

Elayne hangs out with us on Vent all the time.

He's much cooler and less gay/jewish than Dyermaker. He balances out all the negatives Dyer brings to the table.

[Desiree]

I dunno, I've met E in RL (introduced him to sushi!) he seemed pretty sketchy to me ;).

We should do another CO get together. Kat and I are hoping to buy a house soon so we'll have to do a house warming shindig thing.

[pio]

Which IMAX theater you CO ppl hitting up.. The ones off Hampden and 25 or Colorado and 25 are the only ones I know of.

-P

[Thuw]

haha, I bought my IMAX tickets on the 2nd of July. Can't fucking wait.

Damn you....shoulda bought me a ticket too :P.

[kittyciara]

Damn you....shoulda bought me a ticket too :P.

lol, my bad.....I'm sure they are all sold out now too :(

[Shaun]

Wait, AMC Elayne?!? I didn't realise you joined the Rar crew! was the 3:40 on sunday sold out too? That's when I arranged for our crew to go.

I think it was, but don't quote me on it. Pretty sure I had to decide on the noon one or the 10pm one, though. Better buy your tickets asap, though.

and, yeah, you can consider me "Rar" for any non WoW game, I play games with them all the time. :D

Bret cheats at TF2. A lot.

As for Sushi, I will be forever thankful for that. We should do another CO get together, for sure.

Pio - I got tickets to the IMAX on Colorado & I25. That, the one on Hampden & I25 and the one in the museum (they don't show normal movies to my knowledge though, just discovery channel style things) are the only ones in the area that I'm aware of.

[Desiree]

Ya, we go to the one on Colorado.

We should definitely do another sushi night! Altho if you want to splurge I highly recommend Izakaya Den (if you want more fusian type things or some more traditional Japanese food) or Sushi Den. Simply amazing, we are so lucky to have these restaraunts in CO.

[pio]

mmmm.. sushi.. /slobbers on self...

-P

[Shikaku]

... and the one in the museum (they don't show normal movies to my knowledge though, just discovery channel style things) are the only ones in the area that I'm aware of.

The Imax at the museum plays real movies from time to time, it's just really rare. Really the best bet for peeps in CO is the Colorado and I25 one. The one off Hampden is were all the fanboys buy their tix, hence they sell out fast.

[kittyciara]

My joker impression! Clearly, I would perform better than Jack.

[Kazaloth]

It looks like someone took a shit in your hair, or maybe that is your face. I can't quite tell.
Happy Belated Birthday Kitty.

[lornfang]

My joker impression! Clearly, I would perform better than Jack.

You look like your about to suck a cock off.

[Ferfax]

So good.

night.

[Vexum]

Exceeded my high expectations.

[Ragma]

Really caught what i love about batman and what the Joker stood for. That whole reason that the joker wont kill batman and batman wont kill him is perfectly played out in this movie. Now my only complaint is that we wont have the same Joker if another movie is ever made.

Jack has his own spot light as the original joker that cant be touched or compared.
Ledger created a new joker for this generation of Batman fans that sadly we wont see again.

[maxom]

I can't wait. Going Sunday.

[Bonzo]

Just saw it and it was pretty damned awesome, way way better and deeper than Iron Man or any other superhero movie could ever be. However, a few critiques:

- the chick who played Rachel was ugly as fuck, although her acting was pretty decent.
- the whole sonar icanseeeverythingintheworld thing was a bit too much.
- either batman needs a cough-drop BAD or Bale needs to quit overdoing it.

Overall, I think Ledger and Eckhart stole the show. Ledger was mesmerizing to watch, I loved every second he was on the screen. What a damned shame we will never be able to see him again. Two-face was great and I was happy to see he got his well-deserved screen time. Gary Oldman was solid as well. The fights were great, old fashioned beat-downs with no kung fu or matrix bullshit.

I saw it on the regular screen, but will be going again next week for IMAX.

[Kiratal]

- the chick who played Rachel was ugly as fuck, although her acting was pretty decent.

How dare you toss the bad mouth on Maggie G. I was thrilled to see they replace Katie Holmes with her. Plus she's married to everyone's favorite pimp, Peter fuckin' Sarsgaard.

[kittyciara]

If you didn't see the movie in IMAX go buy tickets immediately and watch it. That shit was fucking amazing.

I agree on the cough drop. It was cool as fuck in Begins when he was yelling at that fat corrupt cop and I was hoping they would bring that back in this movie but they over did it a LITTLE. But honestly the only reason I would critique this movie would be to complain that it came so close to being my favorite action movie ever.

Heath Ledger.....like, some of the most amazing acting. He seemed so alive and I got so lost in the character enough that it took me 10 mins after the movie to realize that there wont be another movie with him as the joker.

[Vexum]

Heath Ledger.....like, some of the most amazing acting. He seemed so alive and I got so lost in the character enough that it took me 10 mins after the movie to realize that there wont be another movie with him as the joker.

I know, I was the same way. Didn't hit me for a while that he was really gone.

[lornfang]

Worth every penny, would see again.

[Fest]

Honestly, Heath Ledger dying didn't really effect me until I walked out of that theatre. I don't think not one single actor will be able to hit the spot with The Joker role like he did.

[Shikaku]

I agree 100%

[chau]

Heath Ledger..... He seemed so alive
and alas, he's not.

[chau]

Great movie though, incredibly deep and captured the Batman/Joker dynamic to a tee. Dyerfaggot hit it on the head, Eckhart and Ledger definitely had the standout performances in the film, but everyone carried their weight quite well. Would've liked to see more Michael Caine/Alfred and less "figured out your identity guy" scenes though.

[Sarana]

Gau gau!

[RaptorIIC]

Best movie I've seen this year.

[Grah]

Sitting at the IMAX theater now an hour before the movie is to start, and it's already sold out and filled to capacity. This had better be the movie of the year.

[Mirax]

I'm going to see it again at IMAX as soon as I can get tickets.

[pio]

I just got back from seeing this and I gotta tell ya.. I almost stayed to watch it again which I have never done in my entire life for any movie.. If I didn't have to get back home to my daughter, I prolly would have stayed.

I had high expectations going in.. and they were meet and then some. I was so into it that Gordon's Monologue at the end almost put me to QQ.

I can't wait to go see this again at the IMAX.

-P

[maxom]

Took my nephews and niece to it today. I can't believe how good this fucking movie was. I thought it was going to be just a really good super hero movie but holy shit, it was way more than that.

Every time Joker was on screen it was pure gold. The trick with the pencil, at least 20 people including myself yelled "HOLY FUCK". My nephew thought it was the most badass thing he's ever seen in his life and it probably was. That shit came out of no where.

The story was amazing, nothing like the other Batmans. I was never bored and waiting for something to happen. It seemed something was always happening. I couldn't believe that we got there for a 1pm showing and got out at 3:30pm. It was 3 1/2 of pure enjoyment.

Jack's Joker was another take on the character compared to Ledger's but I like Ledger's way more. Darker, more fucked up, and everything he did was controlled chaos.

I'll be seeing this in IMAX next week, for sure. Can't wait to get this on DVD.

[Bret]

1-3:30 is 2 hours 30 min buddy...

Joker stole the show, simply incredible and like others said that had nothing to do with his death. Prolly one of my all time favorite performances.

[Tartarus]

I saw it at the IMAX today with some buddies, and like you all said, amazing. Ledger gave one of the greatest performances I have ever seen. Batman was more badass too, he was on the brink of not giving a shit about everyone. It was amazingly done and hopefully you all see it soon if you haven't.

[maxom]

As you can see, I fail at math.

[maxom]

The Dark Knight made $155.34 million this weekend topping the record set by Spider-Man 3 a year ago at $151.1 million.

[Mirax]

I blame IMAX tickets being more expensive then the usual ticket, at least here in Calgary it's $3 more a ticket.

[Shaun]

Just got back from the IMAX...Fucking awesome. I'd say more but it's already been said by others in this thread.

Ledger's an acting legend for that performance, in my book. Sucks badly we won't see more of it >=|

Want to watch it again, already. Pencil trick was so great.

Oh Mirax, SM3 came out on IMAX as well, so they're fairly even in that regard.

[Mirax]

It did? Hmmm Don't think it did here... oh well. I went to a midnight of that, called a guy dressed as Spiderman a fag.

Good times.

[Shaun]

Yeah, I sadly wasted money on a midnight IMAX showing of SM3 =\
No one was dressed up in gay costumes, at least!

[Ballistic]

Just went and saw this movie last night .....Best batman ever!!!!!

[chilindrina]

Finally saw it and:

-Ledger was great.
-Even though i liked the rachel on this movie more, i think on some scenes she really looked bad.. but i think that was kinda cool and more down to earth like this line of batman try to be.
-Aaron Eckhart was great as well, i knew it was gonna be pure gold. Thank you for smoking was awesome.
-Kinda dissapointed that we don't know what happened to the Joker.. i was expecting him to die and have a finish.. I would hate to see another actor performing the Joker... but also, i would hate if they just leave it like that...
-needed more murphy as scarecrow parts...


Now is this the best movie of the year? yes.. if this the best movie ever? no... dont know why it is so high on imdb....

[Shikaku]

Now is this the best movie of the year? yes.. if this the best movie ever? no... dont know why it is so high on imdb....

I hear Mongol is good, but alas that was not hyped as much as Batman, so not as many people saw it. I wouldn't be surprised if Mongol snakes best picture.

Me and my brother were talking. And if they do do another movie and make a Joker play a big role in it, he was thinking Johnny Depp. I told him I couldn't see it, but I could see Kevin Spacey as The Riddler.

[maxom]

Depp might be the only person I could see playing Joker. Spacey as The Riddler would be badass as hell.

[chilindrina]

Paul Bettany can be a good riddler i think, at least he kinda looks like him.

[Bigshooter]

Very Dark Movie.

Love how Dawson left him and Alfred burned the note.
Love that Harvey lost it.
Love the transition from hero to dark knight.

Everything made sense. Fantastic Flick.

[Mod]

I think a Riddler similar to Jigsaw in the Saw series would be an interesting villain...he would torment people with puzzles and cause them to go insane, but not kill them. He would be the Joker but on a micro scale. Rather than mass mayhem he chooses his targets.

[kittyciara]

See I think a better enemy than the riddler that would be able to make the transition to the dark batman style is Dr. Victor Fries (freeze). His story is so dark already.....If you actually use real science behind his character, his tragic story will carry itself. And for gods sake, most scientists aren't Austrian Body builders....so you fix those things and I think you got a great enemy.

However, Kevin Spacey as The Riddler does sound awesome.

[chilindrina]

I think this series of Batman should stay away from Robin, Catwoman and the penguin...

[Bonzo]

I just got this awesome idea:

What if they got George Clooney to play Batman, arnold schwarzeenenggegeger to play Dr. Freeze and Jim Carey to play the riddler? God I'm a fucking genius.

[Bronyaur]

Hmmm
Nicole Kidman was in Batman
Katie Holmes was in Batman

...coincidence?

[Vexum]

I think this series of Batman should stay away from Robin, Catwoman and the penguin...

I think you are right

[maxom]

I could see Freeze working but they need to keep it serious. The one-liners in that abortion of a movie were horrible.

Regarding Robin, Bale has stated that he would fight with everything he had to block Robin from coming into the story because he doesn't want his version of Batman to turn into a peice of shit like the other 2 that had Robin. I agree with the man.

[Rheign]

There is in no way can they add robin to any of the movies and not make it gay. Robin's character is just to whiny and annoying to be portrayed in the movie without making the movie terrible.

I can't really picture who would make a good villain for the next film. I feel like any of the other villains would be really hard to portray as real considering how dark and real these past two films have been.

Imagine how much they could ruin what they have built up if they chose like poison ivy or dr freeze? It would come out worse than how bad SM3 was when they added venom.

I think a Riddler/Scarecrow villain combo would make a decent third film.

[kittyciara]

well you can't do scarecrow again, that's too much. They did him good, kept him small and a pawn. The only reason dr freeze is so taboo to people is because of fucking schwarzafaggot.....before then he was one of the fan favorites for an enemy. He's a smart guy who uses his knowledge of science to aid him. And his story is so tragic that it fits right in.

I will say this though, the microwave emitter from the first movie was a horrible hole seeing as how it should have blown every person up that it came near...so maybe their science knowledge isn't top notch enough to take on the task and not make it seem silly. The Riddler would be EASY to make annoying though, like watching Ben Stiller in meet the parents and wondering why he's being so stupid. So that makes me scared.

speeking of using freezing technology in weapons.....

http://www.coolest-gadgets.com/20080718/wasp-knife-injects-ball-of-gas-to-freeze-organs-sounds-unpleasant/

[Bonzo]

I've been thinking about who they could use as the next villain and I'm really coming up short. I just can't see how they can do any better than the joker. If Ledger was still alive, they might be able to do something cool with Harley Quinn, which would probably work out well.

I just can't think of any other batman villain that wouldn't be too cheesy to use. Maybe clayface could work?

[RaptorIIC]

Freeze would work if they went the path of the animated series and made his entry a tragic and serious one instead of the mad scientist comedy carney path like the original/adam west/shitty movie.

[maxom]

There is a pretty big list to choose from but most aren't well known by most people today. Shit, I didn't know about a lot of these people and I used to read comics when I was younger.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Batman_enemies

Clayface might be interesting but I think Bane would work pretty good. Bane was already used but horribly done and played a minor roll. He wouldn't need CGI to make it work while I don't see Clayface working without it. I have a feeling it would be Sandman from Spider-Man 3 all over again.

One of the reasons Dark Knight was so good was it didn't use a shit load of CGI which is rare these days. Not 100% on Bane's story but I remember reading he really fucked up Batman to the point he was out of commission for a while.

Whoever they do decide to roll with in the next movie, I can honestly say it will not be as good as Dark Knight because Ledger's Joker will not be in it.

[Mirax]

I wish to see Johnny Depp as Mad Hatter. That is all.

[Bonzo]

Depp as the mad hatter would be identical to his role in willy wonka, lol. I thought that remake sucked btw.

[maxom]

Weirded me the fuck out.

[Rheign]

haha my vote goes to calendar man

[kittyciara]

haha my vote goes to calendar man

LOL...I laughed at that guy too when I saw him. Like talk about literal nomenclature.

[Shikaku]

Paul Bettany can be a good riddler i think, at least he kinda looks like him.

couldn't agree more with you.

[Fest]

Actually The Penguin would be the perfect villain. But the story they used for him in the last movie was fucking god awful. If they make him more of a politician but dirty, they could definitely pull it off. Of course, he wouldn't be the main villain but Nolan could do the penguin without fucking it up.

[maxom]

If they used Penguin then they would need to have a hell of an actor playing him. Whenever I think of Penguin I always see Danny Divito biting a guy in the nose then eating raw fish.

[chilindrina]

i read somewhere somoene nominating Philip Seymour Hoffman as Pinguin.. sounds intriguin enough...

I dont want Johnny Depp.. i dont hate the guy but I think if he end up on this batman series i will.. plus dont think he will do it with him being so close to tim burton

[Bonzo]

Personally, I think they shouldn't make any more. We'd all end up being disappointed.

[ashla]

Have a question, is this movie worth driving 30-60 minutes to see on IMAX? Ive heard rumors one way and the other. Can anyone vouch for its quality being worthwile?

[Rheign]

I drove about 50 mins or so to watch it in IMAX, and I was glad I did. From what I've read only aerials and action scenes were shot with IMAX camera so its not like the whole movie is of imax quality, but I would still recommend seeing it in IMAX just because it only makes an epic movie more epic.

[chilindrina]

http://www.ksl.com/?nid=148&sid=3818159

that guy really wanted to see batman

[Bronyaur]

good old Salt Lake

[Miro]

Greta did it.

[Shaun]

lol...I used to see movies in that theatre...Well, my dad did. He always left me in the car. It's tradition in Utah. Don't see what the big deal is.

[Bronyaur]

K I just finally saw this today.

First I'm just going to say it was an awesome movie. So what I'm going to say does not mean I didn't like it, they're just things I thought would be interesting to get input on.

But here are a couple weird things I thought of *SPOILERS*:

-Bruce drives his lamborghini between an armored truck and a semi to "save" the occupants of the armor truck. So you're telling me if this semi had struck the armored truck it would have killed the passengers, but if it strikes a lamborghini and crushes it up against an armored truck, the passenger is perfectly fine? This seems a little odd to me. It's cool though I'm willing to let it slide, I was just confused how a supercar was more sturdy than an armored transport.

-I thought Bruce said he was going after Rachel when he had to make the choice and the police were saying they were going after Harvey, but it obviously was backwards. Did I miss something? I thought maybe the Joker deliberately told him the addresses backwards, but I don't remember anything confirming that. Like Bruce could have mentioned it later in his tragic monologue to Alfred.

Please input. Great movie.

[maxom]

Joker did that on purpose because he is a sick fuck. He knew Batman would go for the girl and the cops would go after Harvey so he played them both by giving them wrong addresses.

Not sure about the whole car thing but then again Batman does a 180 off a fucking wall like it was nothing. It's a movie ;)

[Shaun]

I thought maybe the Joker deliberately told him the addresses backwards, but I don't remember anything confirming that. Like Bruce could have mentioned it later in his tragic monologue to Alfred.


This is correct.

As for him not mentioning it...He doesn't seem the type to explain himself to others. I mean, I don't think he'd really care at that point whether Alfred knew he was going for Rachael or intentionally went for Dent, because it wouldn't change what had happened & he was more concerned about getting The Joker. Just my take on the character.

[Tartarus]

failure for it taking you so long to see it Greta... haha

[Shikaku]

Common misconception Greta. Just because a truck is armored it does not magically become semi proof. Bruce saved a lot of lives in his Lamborghini, which are designed to be semi proof, just look at its lightweight fiber-glass exterior.

[Sarana]

Greta you noob. Get a TV now.

[Bronyaur]

Greta you noob. Get a TV now.

:(

[Sarum]

I watched it last night.. (In IMAX)

I thought it owned..

My question is.. is Two Face really dead? I mean, I can't really tell from the movie if he actually is dead or not.. I mean he fell off a building and landed there.. but... you never know with these crazy movies...

Oh, and Greta, great point about the Lamborghini... that was total BS. They should have had him run into it knocking it off course or somthing, but getting in the way of the T-bone was horribly unrealistic... That lambo would have been toast.

And I didn't catch the part about the Joker giving the wrong addresses. And now that I think of it, if that were the case, I do not know why he didn't explain himself to Dent... Seems foolish not to.

I still don't like that he had to take the heat for Two Face's murders... I mean, they could have come up with all KINDS of explanations for those deaths... not the Black Knight doing it... that was pretty shaky.. I mean these cops are all half corrupt... they are good at that shit.

[RaptorIIC]

My question is.. is Two Face really dead? I mean, I can't really tell from the movie if he actually is dead or not.. I mean he fell off a building and landed there.. but... you never know with these crazy movies...

IIRC, Aaron Eckhart is signed on for another movie. That doesn't directly answer the question, but the potential is there.

[maxom]

This is my take on it.

Joker is a sick fuck. He didn't tell Harvey because the whole plan in the hospital was to turn Harvey into a crazy mother fucker, just like he is. To Harvey it seems Batman chose him and not Rachel to save which was what Joker wanted.

Batman took the wrap because Harvey was all the city had left to save them. Notice how they called Harvey Gotham's White Knight. If the city was told about the murders their White Knight has done then the people of the city would have lost all hope. Batman knew to save the city he had to take the blame. Remember that it was Batman's own idea to take the blame for it, no one elses.

I could be wrong since it's been like a month since I've seen it.

[Miro]

http://www.hecklerspray.com/batman-3-johnny-depp-definitely-the-riddler-but-probably-not/200815927.php

Johnny Depp as Riddler?

Speculation, but I think he could pull it off.

[Fest]

They're also speculating Cher as Catwoman. If that is in fact true, I will never see Batman 3.

[daayou]

Cher as catwoman? WTF - she will be 102 before filming is done.

My first thought for a good catwoman was Scarlet, then I guess I was tainted by Lee Merriweather and felt that the role should go to a brunette. A good catwoman - Milla Jovovich. She has the body for it.

[Bonzo]

Ugh, Milla is a fucking pig and a horrible actress. Please god, no.

Now Scarlett on the other hand, I would pay to see in a catwoman outfit.

[Mod]

Keep in mind there was a collective "WTF" when Heath Ledger was picked as the Joker. Look what happened.

I guess the difference is that he has acting talent. Cher, not so much.

I think Nolan might be going for the old cougar type role. We shall see.

[RaptorIIC]

Cher as catwoman? WTF - she will be 102 before filming is done.

Only parts of her. The majority of her body/face is probably underage.

[maxom]

My vote goes to Jolie. It's an obvious one but I think it would work pretty well.

[daayou]

How do you envision catwoman?

For me, it is about facial looks and body type. I can see her with Cher's body type. Long, lean and lanky. I have problems seeing a 'blonde' cat. That is why I thought that Scarlett would not be that great. Milla has that long and lanky look. Hmm, this sounds odd, but Ali Larter even though she is a blonde could pull the look off.

But Kags is correct - parts of Cher would be 102 and parts would be underage. I wonder who has had more plastic surgery.

Cher
Joan Rivers
Dolly Parton
Demi Moore

That would be a fun trivia question.

[maxom]

Well, Demi Moore actually looks pretty damn good. I can't say that for the rest of them. My guess would be Dolly.

I really hope they stay away from a blonde Catwoman. The first time they did it wasn't bad but wasn't all that good either.

[Miro]

They should get Halle Berry, if they want the movie to be an epic fail that is.

OH SNAP

[cemorran]

For the third one they have to have your typical "leader" type villain in it accompanied by a "assistant" type villain. That is how every batman movie has been.

Riddler is not a leader type, he is an assistant. Same as catwoman. The penguin or freeze could easily pull off the leader role.

I think the original plan was to bring the joker back, hence why you don't see him die. Also with Aaron Eckhart signed on for a third and no actual dead body scene. (yea he was laying there, but batman was able to get up so could of as well)

As for someone else playing the role of joker, there's really only one person I could see that could play the role as good AND as demented as heath, and that's Daniel Day Lewis.

I think philip seymour hoffman could play an intriguing penguin. I have a feeling they go with a remake of the original 2nd movie and do penguin/catwoman. There has to be a female element in the movie a la "bond girls".

As for two-face, they could put him on the back burner for this one and bring him back in the 4th.

Wow Cem, amazing call with Daniel Day Lewis. I agree, he is as sinister and evil as they come. Ever see "There will be blood"?

[cemorran]

LOVED IT. saw it the other day with my brother and we both were like "yea he could be joker"

Also No Fing way should jonny depp be in these movies, he would have been fine in the originals when tim burton did them cause he fits that kind of "scary", but not here in these "dark" movies.

[Mirax]

BASTARD IN A BASKET!

I loved that movie.

[maxom]

Daniel Day Lewis is fucking looney. He just doesn't play nut jobs, the man is one. Great choice for the next Joker.

[Shikaku]

I say if they do Catwoman here is my vote:

Daniel Day Lewis would be a fantastic Joker. If they have Joker in the third movie I request a new assistant (nothing against Two-face, he is more of a leader imo) Harlequin. Plus with Dent already established, this could be a nice little twist. Downside to it tho, is the possibility of Robin appearing and fuck that.

.

I just want to quote the picture - I'd fuck her.



Who is she?

[cemorran]

ever see transformers daayou?

[daayou]

Obviously not.

Never saw the movie, nor the cartoon. Just listened to whiny snot nosed kids sing the fucking song.

[Shikaku]

Megan Fox

[cemorran]

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1083271/

for easy access...

[cemorran]

btw, she's in a movie called "whore". Man i love her...

[Mirax]

Think I read somewhere that Christian Bale said "If Robin crops up in one of the new Batman films, I'll be chaining myself up somewhere and refusing to go to work."

So no Robin as long as Christian Bale is Batman!

Also I'd rather have an actress who can act then Megan Fox as hot as she is. (Mind you all I've seen with her is Transformers, which she was uhhh not particularly great in imo)

[maxom]

My favorite part of Transformers was when she was bent over looking at Bumblebee's engine. There should be a clause in her contract of a scene no less than 30 seconds of her bent over something.

[cemorran]

I have no idea what the movie is about, but supposedly she is really good in the movie "How to Lose Friends & Alienate People". Though I like the scarlet idea for catwoman, she can always dye her hair, though I could see catwoman as a "losing-it mentally" blond.

[Shikaku]

And Michael Bay films are chalk full of acting...

Scarlett would be nice as Catwoman don't get me wrong. The only problem is she doesn't really fit the body type I'd expect for Catwoman. The only movie where she came close to this imo was The Island.

[maxom]

(Mind you all I've seen with her is Transformers, which she was uhhh not particularly great in imo)

Don't think she got the part because of her acting skills.

[Bonzo]

She was so smoking in the island it was fucking insane.

[Shikaku]

QFT

[Miro]

Doesn't she have a movie coming out with a lesbian scene in it?

Hmm...maybe not. Best Scarlet scene was in Match Point.

[Shikaku]

So, I think I found who should play Harlequin if it were to ever happen.

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0010736/ She is an incredible actress and she is a redhead!

[Miro]

red heads rule

Studies have shown that we have more sex.

[lornfang]

Catwoman has been portrayed as blonde in many of the comics.

[Sarana]

Did anyone else get the bluray? I got 2 digital copy codes, is that normal? My copy came today and it's actually 3 discs: the movie, special features and then the digital copy dvd.

I was just watching the focus points and it must have been 30-45 minutes long itself and it's not even on the special features disc. I want to watch all the special features tonight but i haven't gotten any homework done since i watched the movie again.

Anyways, i preordered it from Amazon for $23.95 which i think is a great deal for everything you get and i recommend anyone who hasn't seen the movie or just really enjoyed the movie to get it now! :laugh:

[Bonzo]

Amazon fucking rocks. Not only did I get free 2 day shipping on TDK, but I got a 5 dollar MP3 credit at their site and the ability to watch the movie online, all for free.

[maxom]

I really like the digital copies. Get Smart came with it and you could either get it via amazon or itunes. I ended up getting it through itunes so I didn't have to convert it to play on my ipod.

I need to pick it up sometime next week once I have time to watch it. If I had it in my house then I wouldn't get much work done.

Anyone going to see it in the theater once they re-release it? If the imax showings aren't sold out like they were when it first came out I'm going to take my cousin to see it. She hasn't seen it at all yet.

[Shaun]

Wait, when are they re-releasing it?
Tempted to try for a third IMAX viewing...

I have lost what little respect i had for you...

[daayou]

You lost respect for me and Dyer is now my BFF.

I would do so many things to that woman . . .

:)

[Shikaku]

You guys are both crazy imho

[Mirax]

She was on Firefly, she wins.

[Sarana]

She looks so old... Her boobs are huge though. From really far away she looks kind of hot.

[daayou]

She is vivacious.
She is not your skinny, tits on a stick type chick.
She actually has hips and a waist!

She is younger than me :) She is 33 years old iirc.

Yes

Shik, you're telling me this girl is not gorgeous? Really? Come on man, this chick is hot, not like that twig bitch Megan Fox with no tits/ass..

[Shikaku]

Yes

She has a nice body I'll give you that, but something about her face creeps me out, I can't exactly pinpoint it

[Bonzo]

Ok, I can agree that she is a different kind of beautiful, in the same way Scarlett Johansen is. Not everyone thinks Scarlett is hot either(dumb people mostly).

[Shikaku]

Not everyone thinks Scarlett is hot either(dumb people mostly).

Those people should forfeit their balls imo

[daayou]

Damn dyer, you are my new BFF.

I would die a happy man during/after a menage a trois with Scarlett and Christina.

Sarana -

This digital copy - what format is it in?

[Sarana]

I'm not sure, I havn't tried using it. Google is saying WMV though
