MTV trailers suck by TheContinentalOp	Apr 26th, 2005 07:00:33 PM
Seriously, why does a one-minute trailer need to "buffer" for like seven minutes so I can only watch a second of it at a time (although I didn't mind so much when that second was a perfect freeze-frame of the nipples)? But the trailer still looked great. I don't want to hear any hate. Keep it to yourself for once, you joyless little people.
sure I have a shiny new awesome G5 by Shigeru	Apr 26th, 2005 07:00:58 PM
but I can't fuckin play that trailer cause MTV sucks sour frog ass. fuck!
Batman would only use Quicktime by jimmy_009	Apr 26th, 2005 07:01:26 PM
RealVideo is the worst, it hardly ever plays right, even with my DSL connection. They should rename it BufferingVideo. And I hate sites that have their own little 'Zones' or 'Jump Stations' that make you jump through hoops to let you see what you want to see (and usually it doesn't work anyways)

I also have difficulty viewing this trailer and I'm up to date on IE and WMP. This of course would be the one thing worth going to MTV.com for. Figures. Well at least I could hear the damn thing. Even so, it owns Serenity's weak ass.
Fuck that RealVideo shit! by DocPazuzu	Apr 26th, 2005 07:13:14 PM

I can see WB's marketing group pouring over.... by Russman	Apr 26th, 2005 07:23:10 PM
focus group surveys taken from the bumpkins in some middle American mall... "I want to see the car and his suit some more" "An artsy looking trailer without an explosion makes me nervous." WB still has my $10 already but this trailer is pretty generic and crappy. Instead of looking like something different or better, it looks like everything else. Oh well, guess you gotta do what you gotta do to sell the thing. Oh, and MTV, two words for you - QUICKTIME MFers!
mtv?crap by Sorkin	Apr 26th, 2005 07:27:20 PM
I find it funny that the ever hip mtv won't let mac users watch trailers on their site, espically since mac is all about hip. Also, the few times I've actually watched trl, (like yesterday, when I forced myself to to see that kick ass trailer,) there alwasy seems to be a mac in the background like it's a cool prop. Nope, it isn't just a cool prop, it's actually a better computer.
better costume? by aikimoe	Apr 26th, 2005 07:32:32 PM
The trailer was definitely aimed at the mindless, screaming tweens. Still, I'm hopeful. Though, I must say, I wish he looked more like this: http://www.cgnetworks.com/gall erycrits/7630/7630_1114378611. jpg

Did you get your username from the illiterate primates who raised you? I guess your description of Mac users means that PC users are sexually-threatened, hate-spewing neanderthals. Glad you were able to clarify that. Let us know how many faggots, niggers, kikes, spics, and gooks you and your family have killed. Tie anyone to the back of a truck and drive away lately? I hope you get cancer.

Sorry to say by superninja	Apr 26th, 2005 08:18:15 PM
It looks pretty boring and derivative of the Burton films to me. Even if it's shot better and the costume has no nipples. Not one original or standout moment in the whole trailer.

We all know Windows Media Player is inferior and sucks giant gorilla nuts. My suggestion to everyone unsatisfied with the shitty download that this thing will probably have is NOT TO DOWNLOAD IT. The Powers That Be never change anything until they perceive it to be broken. Oh, and Chris Nolan fisted my childhood.
Nice! by Z0D	Apr 26th, 2005 08:40:18 PM
The last line said in the trailer by Bale: "A guy who dresses up as a bat, clearly has issues" reminded me of good ol Michael Keaton from the first one. The complex and insane mastery of the character Bruce Wayne drives me nuts when I see the first Batman. I love it! Batman Begains will be excellent. ___KNEEL____

For those of you having problems viewing the video (as I did- couldn't get it to work), go to the above link. Just play the video of Katie on TRL that includes the trailer. The resolution leaves much to be desired, but it's an easy download, and plays back easily. Enjoy!
Im Cursed by Donnie_Drunko	Apr 26th, 2005 08:56:48 PM
Hmmm Overdrive only lets me watch all the old trailors! Assholes I tell you MTV are assholes! Ive stayed away from MTV for 4 years now. Its blocked on my TV....I aviod it at all cost. Then they pull me back in with this Batman trailor just to spit and laugh at me. I broke into tears and screamed WHY why me!!!! It was all captured on my web cam and is now making rounds around the net. The most disturbing thing is I heard Michael Bay has saw the video of me crying and cursing MTV and wants to remake it.

It's really good to see all this MTV hate by The Real McCoy	Apr 26th, 2005 09:15:45 PM
I hate MTV as well. I remember they were doing a preview for Sin City a few months before the movie came out with two of their VJ's pimping the comic books. It had some trendy, metrosexual guy talking about how cool Frank Miller was and some incredibly hot but fake blonde agreeing and commenting on how good the "graphic novels" were. I wanted to reach into my TV and strangle those posers. I felt like vomiting all over them.
Ok, so it's a good trailer... by Rupee88	Apr 26th, 2005 09:19:00 PM
I'm still skeptical about this film even though I'm a fan of both Bale and Nolan. But the trailer sure was nice. Maybe they did make something worth of the "Batman" moniker. I guess I'll be contributing to the box office for this one....still not going to pay to see FF though.
The Serenity trailer is far better than this by Jossisgod	Apr 26th, 2005 09:26:59 PM
And it's more exciting. Considering theres no big names in Serenity and it's not based on a famous franchise, I'd say that's quite a big deal.

the suit doesn`t look rubbery, christian bale is a good actor with the physique to actually portray batman, the car looks tough as shit, and no neon batarangs. admit it: this looks like a tough-guy batman movie, not a michael keaton camp-fest (michael keaton! HAH!!).

It's like - fuck it, that slanty eyed chick from Crouching Thingy is popular, I think we have another Chink film here somewhere, eisha or whatever, let's put her in that.

Even VH1 is going downhill....Funny how it's supposed to be "Music Television", hence the fucking names, yet, they only show about two hours of music tops in their programming schedule. Not that I'm complaining, since their selection of music are the current run of the mill Abercrombie douchebag fuckwads like Ryan Cabrera or little Paris wanna-be computer enhanced lip-syncing biyatches who can't sing without fake warbling and wouldn't be worthy of a K-Mart opening.....
Now THAT's a good Trailer! Screw Serenity's! by anchorite	Apr 26th, 2005 10:20:52 PM
This Batman Begins trailer is a MUCH better trailer than what they're passing off as a trailer for Serenity. This actually makes me want to go see the movie, while Serenity's makes me feel empty inside. Well, maybe not empty. But definitely not at all excited...

(I can't believe I have to type that fucking name again) Sorry to disappoint you, but I'm not gay. Another thing you judged incorrectly. It would be so much easier for assholes like yourself if only homosexuals were offended by your language, but that's not the case. Unfortunately most of the basement dwellers on AICN, even if not homophobic, are too "cool" to speak out against it. But make no mistake, what you say offends more people than you think. What you orignally posted would have been a lot worse it it wasn't such an embarassing attempt at humor. Back to the trolling board...

Yay! Pointless romance! by Ribbons	Apr 27th, 2005 12:47:50 AM
So what is all this nonsense about what's-her-face being "scared for Bruce" because he went away? "I spent all this time being scared for you?" Does anybody talk like that? Does anybody think like that? Pfft. People, take heed (and I have to swallow a lot of my pride to say this): moviemack has as good a chance of being "right" about this movie as anyone else. Maybe it'll be the best Batman movie made up to this point, and you should respect the fact that Warner Bros. is at least either rope-burned (somewhere mr fantasto's asshole siren is going off) enough or savvy enough to finally look for the tone of movies that fanboys crave, but at the end of the day, this'll probably be nothing more than a neat diversion. And Batman talks like he's got a mouth full of walnuts.
I agree, the Batmobile looks kind of silly. by Hamtaro_Hentai	Apr 27th, 2005 12:56:11 AM
Batman didn't drive a Hummer. It's supposed to be quick and sleek, not a monstrosity hybrid of ATV meets tank. I bet that thing gets shitty mileage.
By the way... by Ribbons	Apr 27th, 2005 01:04:57 AM
Before you get all bleepity bleep on my ass, I'm not trying to imply you folks don't have the right to enjoy diversions. While that kind of mentality perpetuates a looot of crap, and I'd rather it didn't, I can't force you to take movies any more seriously than you already do. Awww. Well, there it is.
"Batman didn't drive a Hummer. It's supposed to be quick and sle by Commando Cody	Apr 27th, 2005 01:19:09 AM
Who the hell ever said the Batmobilie was supposed to be fast and sleek? Pop quiz for you would-be crimefighters out there: You're a guy deciding to wear a costume and cape, and as your mission in life you're now going to spend pretty much every night trying to fight some of the nastiest human scum there is out there...no, take it futher...you're going to fight criminals in the DARKIEST, DINGIEST, most CRIME-RIDDEN sections of town. And as such, you'll be needing transport to take you INTO those bad sections of a run down city like Gotham safely and get you OUT safely, too. In fact, you might even want some armaments ON the vehicle in case you get into a serious scrape or shoot-out. So pop quiz: do you take a fucking Porsche or Jaquar as your mode of transportion because they're "fast and sleek"...or do you take a fucking tank? Yes, you take the latter -- end of debate. Which is why Nolan's interpretation of the Batmobile makes a HELLUVA lot of sense than any Batmobile we've seen to date, particularly since (as we see from the trailers) it ALSO hauls ass when you put pedal to the floor. As for it getting shitty mileage, somehow I think Bruce Wayne, MULTI-GAZILLIONAIRE, is hardly sweating the Shell gas bill when he pulls into a station and whips out his credit card to tank up.
For the record? by Ribbons	Apr 27th, 2005 01:22:19 AM
The Batmobile (or "Tumbler") is a good idea as far as I'm concerned. "It's not Batman, yadda yadda yadda," snooze...

Moviemack is wack by Sorkin	Apr 27th, 2005 01:30:01 AM
I didn't feel like you actually had anything important enough to counter, but if you insist. All of the batman movies, yes I repeat ALL of the batman movies so far have been weak. The first one was fun, but the others didn't feel like what it could be like, what it should be like. Since I'm not so jaded and I haven't read the script yet, I wouldn't know if it is in the same vain as the others. Maybe it is. But, judging from the trailers, and stills, they have captured the true essence of the Gotham world. Also, the suit looks fine. If you wanna diss a suit, diss superman. Oh wait, once you saw it you went out and special ordered a male stripper to dress up like that at your next birthday party. And that would be the big thirteen, right Mack? Finally the batmobile is a little different then what I would think is picture perfect, but they are going for more realistic, so I can buy it. Oh yeah, I didn
Anyone that calls someone gay due to their choice of computer is by cherrycola	Apr 27th, 2005 01:32:22 AM
I can't help but laugh when some cunt says that apple users are fags when all we're talking about is a fucking computer. I choose not to use microsoft anymore and CHOOSE to use an apple emac. So far I've had no complaints and so far have'nt had the urge to do a drag show or watch darma and greg whilst drinking a bottle of mineral water. Besides, my computer never crashes no matter what applications I run. No blue screen of death. Anyways, this batman trailer SUCKS because I cant watch it and I extend my middle finger to "Empty-V" for telling me I need some "upgrade" to watch it. Da fuck? I'll just wait to watch the god damn movie.
Burton by Sorkin	Apr 27th, 2005 01:55:16 AM
I actually like the man's movies; I just wasn't a huge fan of the original. Also, I actually am looking forward to this one, it seems to have captured what Batman is all about, and I don't see how you can see that as a bad thing. As for realistic, I meant in the since that what would you want in a compact armored car? It actually looks like something the military would have, which is the point. As for Marvel films, I for one think that X2 has been the best comic book to movie film so far. Not because the x-men is my favorite comic book, I've always liked batman more, but because it felt like it captured the feel of the characters more. Don't get me started on what I think about spidy 2. I'm sure it was your favorite movie of last year. And the heart and soul of batman? It is dark, thats the point yo. And so far in the trailers, I've defently felt the dark.
details by Sorkin	Apr 27th, 2005 01:58:56 AM
Gotham is supposed to be a place where the powerfull have taken over, where chaos rains. The look in the trailer to me at least perfectly fits that. That by the way, Burton did manage to bring to the orignal movie.
I dunno... by Ribbons	Apr 27th, 2005 02:09:43 AM
I don't really want to get into this, but I think that you're seeing what you want to see, Sorkin. The only glimpse of the Gotham elite we get in this trailer is Bruce Wayne hob-knobbing it at some party. Otherwise, there's a panorama of probably Chicago and a shot of Katie Holmes looking out the el at a couple of smokey avenues. Seems kind of vague to have captured the essence of Gotham (if there is such a thing) if you ask me.
might be right. by Sorkin	Apr 27th, 2005 02:16:11 AM
I'm sure I am seeing want I want to see Ribbons. A couple of the shots from the tv spots along with the quick shots in the trailer make me think I have at least some reason to get my hopes up, but if this movie really does blow as much as Moviemack hopes it does, I won't keep defending it.
Cool by Mafu	Apr 27th, 2005 02:22:28 AM
I dug that Batman trailer more than the previous trailers I'd seen for the film. In my opinion, Batman -- for the first time in any of his movies -- actually seems badass. The Batmobile looks like it could drive through trees and gun down bad guys Black Hawk Down-style. Sweet.
Neeson by Mafu	Apr 27th, 2005 02:34:46 AM
Moviemack, you wrote, "For THE LAST FUCKING TIME... they changed Ra's Al Ghul to Liam Neesom." I'm sorry to spoil your argument, but Liam Neeson isn't playing Ra's Al Ghul, he's playing Henri Ducard. Check imdb.com for details. I actually read many of your 1000-plus posts about why this film will suck, but I must say I now think you're full of shit. You've confused facts with personal opinions, and unfortunately you've lost all credibility in my book. Keep posting your angry, juvenile rants, though. I'm sure at some point you'll convince someone you're telling the truth.
And furthermore... by Mafu	Apr 27th, 2005 02:44:18 AM
I question whether you've actually read the script. You've lied with conviction about something that's patently untrue and insulted other talkbackers for doubting your knowledge. I'm sorry, but I can't take anything you say seriously now. Credibility is a slippery slope.

That fact of the matter is, moviehack, that it's only your screw by kdog69	Apr 27th, 2005 03:17:51 AM
even though it was only the first draft. Read the kill bill vol. 2 script. the final result was changed drasticly from the original script. It is also your opinion that the script sucks. I for one don't think you opinion is worth the ass that it is shited from. Every website that reviews the script(including this site about a year ago) gives it a high review. I know you don't want to believe me since shit is clogging your so-called brain. Maybe if you only complained once about the script on one talkback then I would give you more respect, but since you MUST talkback 10 times on EVERY batmanbegins talkback, plus go on and on about how superheros suck in general, i'm sorry but you are nothing but a little noisy turd. Also...Scarecrow rides a horse in the comics. Batman wears armor under his batsuit. Batman had the begins batmobile during no man's land. X-men was a good movie. Super Heros do not suck. And moviemack is a attention seeking cry baby that does not know when to shut the fuck up.
Batmobile comments by Hamtaro_Hentai	Apr 27th, 2005 03:35:50 AM
The thing about the gas mileage was a joke, but I'm sticking by the 'sleek and stylish' part of my post. Why? Well, it just isn't about reality, it's about fantasy, and heroes, and just escaping to another world. Say what you want about Burton's vision of Batman, but he DID get the Batmobile totally right.

Are we even talking about movies anymore? by Jarados	Apr 27th, 2005 04:03:29 AM
I've read most of the talkbacks on this site, and I cannot understand a word of what any of you guys are saying? You appear to be attempting to review a trailer, but you seem to bash computers, sisters, calling people gay to insult them, etc. I'm sorry, but I thought I was here to critique a film trailer. Instead I get fights straight from recess. Act your age, guys.
Jarados by omoore3	Apr 27th, 2005 04:14:09 AM
How possibly can we be reviewing a trailer when the corporate 50 somethings will not give us the ability to view. Oh wait, your right, we should allow them to dictate what we watch. WV and Nolan (no doubt) have done an amazing job..it's not the trailer that 90% of us have been complaining about.....oh by the way, your gay :) Recess time!

Batman, MTV, and Computers by mbaker	Apr 27th, 2005 04:20:53 AM
Let me throw my two cents in on the following subjects. Batman: As far as i'm concerned, none of the previous Batman films have impressed me so far. The animated series owns all of them in terms of story, and character. I might give 'Batman Begins' a chance. I just want to see Batman get a good amount of screen time because in the previous films, the villians always got the lion's share of attention while Batman took a back seat. I just want to see a Batman film with no Burton wierdness, or Schumacher camp. MTV: There was a time back in the stone age of cable when MTV stood for 'Music Television'. Now, those days are over since the network has lost sight of what it was suppose to be about. MTV has become a network for stupid, trendy people, and VH1 is also going down the same path. Theses days, if you want to see music videos at all, you have to turn to the spinoff channels. VH1 Classic is all i need right now. I just can't stomach the current crop of music since the majority of it is pure crap. Computers: I think it's short sighted, and moronic to assume that Mac owners are gay. I own a Mac, and i'm a heterosexual male. Plus, i never considered myself to be 'trendy'. So quit labling people like that. Things aren't always what they seem.
MOVIEMAC A.K.A. ANORAK by HarryBlackPotter	Apr 27th, 2005 04:24:58 AM
Moviemac, you are truly the most pitiful Talkbacker of all time. You really ought to get out and smell the roses before it's too late. Most people don't care one way or another if Batman 5 ('cos that's what it really is) is pants or not. And when I say 'people' I mean real people, not geeky anoraks, but real people with real lives, and jobs and partners who wouldn't put up with your hissy fits. No one cares. Not about you...not about your views on 'Batman'. Get a life you sad, sad man!
Moviemack's Batman by Trevor Goodchild	Apr 27th, 2005 04:56:13 AM
Genuine question. how would you have liked a Batman movie to have been done? Who would you cast and who would direct? What would the plot be and how would it look? Not trying to get a rise out of ye, I really want to know.

fistfuloflead by whatyoufear	Apr 27th, 2005 05:10:37 AM
creative liberties with the batman suit are more than welcome in my book.. as much as YOU'D like to see christian bale running around in the adam west costume, i'm glad they kept it black. i would have been pissed if they'd used the yellow oval insignia..
the pyrotechnics look amateurish by bunny_lebowski	Apr 27th, 2005 05:36:02 AM
each new trailer is less interesting than the last...the special effects aren't very special...Christian Bale looks confused ("do I play him like the American Psycho, or do I play him like Crispin Glover") and Katie Holmes shows once again how nauseating cute can be...but every other cast member is a OLD pro, so it could still work out
I am a PC user and thx Oski for that link! by CurryIce	Apr 27th, 2005 06:15:05 AM
and i have a big aversion against Microsoft's methods all the time. Since i first seen the trailer announcement on comingsoon.net i just refused to download this update crap (although i have updated...oh i mean polluted my second WMP to version 10...still having a special version of the 6.4 version called WMP classic with special features) and i won't 'cause it's unbelievable that this MTV link still wants me to install this exe-crap. Now thank you Oski for posting that link. You saved my day. (still i had to save this license shit and the picture quality is shit. wmv formats should be banned from the Internet world...MAN I HATE MICROSOFT) And how does it come that Real still exists? The player itself was never good (full of cookie and user info munching bullshit) and every streams (audio and videos) were and will be forever shitty. hope the QT version will be released soon. the trailer: worst chosen music of every BatmanBegins trailer. The music destroyed everything. The music should support the dark theme of that film and not reminding to a "MichaelBay" action flick...

Would be interested in hearing how Moviemack would handle a Bat flick though.

moviemack is RIGHT by garofellatio	Apr 27th, 2005 08:36:00 AM
I just realized something-- we don't agree with moviemack NOT because we don't see what he sees, but because we DON'T WANT TO. Because I have to admit, what's in the trailers is NOT original or impressive, it's just the fifth "rubber suit" Batman movie. Maybe the least campy, maybe the most epic. But a lot of the plot points we know about the movie (if they are true) are stupid, Micheal Caine really does seem to be slumming, Freeman and Neeson look like they're picking up an easy paycheck, etc. My advice is, if you love Batman LOWER YOUR EXPECTATIONS as you enter the theater this June. What we can hope for is that a halfway cool, non-campy Batman Begins reinvigorates the series and that we'll get the movie WE want by 2010, instead of waiting another generation for an all-new franchise.

BATMAN BEGINS stumbled with that costume design but appears to h by JDanielP	Apr 27th, 2005 09:25:49 AM
I'd feel better about these movies if a bit more common sense were applied to the costume designs. Sure, the costumes could be worse. But they sure as hell could be better.
Wow by squidhammer	Apr 27th, 2005 04:12:39 PM
I'd call you guys a bunch of queers, but that's unnecessarily harsh to actual homosexuals. At least you're all here, self-quarantined on AICN. I'll look for Moviemack in the obits on June 16.

Jesus, moviemack... by Childe Roland	Apr 27th, 2005 06:10:37 PM
...are you on some new meds or what? Your energy level seems to be picking up as this movie's release date gets closer, which I wouldn't have believed possible given how rabidly you've been spewing prejudicial hate toward it since that first early script draft leaked. As for your "criticisms" which you seem so proud of and claim no one has been able to refute, I'll go ahead and address them for you. 1.)"Batsuit looks ridiculous..." Moreso than any other comic book superhero's outfit in the history of live-action adaptations? Check out all the hate being spewed on the new Superman suit, which looks like a slightly updated version of the old one. "It looks gay!" people say. Maybe it does, but no gayer than it looks in the comics. Its a body stocking. Batman went a different route and did the armor thing, probably after seeing how ridicuous the pudgy guy in spandex looked in Batman: Dead End. Of course that's just a speculation based on my opinion of a suit I actually saw in the context of the film it was in. You haven't even seen Batman Begins. 2.) "batmobile looks so stupid, they won't even call it the batmobile..." Again, your opinion of the design. I and others have pointed out its resemblance to the DK Returns batmobile. And you're mad because this is supposed to be year one and that batmobile doesn't turn up until the future? Exactly what is the standard current design for the batmobile? I remember reading different bat books in the same time period where it went from looking like a modern Vette to looking like an old Studabaker to looking like the one from the 60s TV show. Different artists interpreted it differently. As a comic fan, you should be used to that. And in DK Returns, didn't Batman himself muse about how Robin called it "the Batmobile?" Is Robin in this movie? No? Then who would call it that? 3.) "Scarecrow looks like a dork with a paper bag over his face (Cillian Murphy unmasked is way scarier)..." Again, your opinion. I've seen the images and he looks creepy. Almost like the stitchface villain played by Cronenberg in Nightbreed, who I believe was a psychologist gone bad (kind of similar to Scarecrow's origin, huh?). Seems an appropriate translation of the character to me. 4.) "Dawson's creek chick looks like the Dawson's Creek chick..." What is it you don't like about that specifically? Chicks? 5.) "Michael Caine looks like he's slumming..." If you mean the slightly detached, bored look he has, check his other movies. When he's not frothing-at-the-mouth angry or leering at the ladies, that's how he looks. In fact (and no offense to my British friends) many a Brit I know tends to have that bored detached look when dealing with Americans. And Caine's attitude feels right in line with the way Alfred was portrayed on The Animated Series, which most fans love. 6.) "Neesom looks like Ra's and Watanabe looks like Ubu..." I'm assuming this would mean something if I understood your funny moon language but, alas, I don't, so I'll go ahead and concede this point to you. 7.) "the bats look like a bad Halloween screensaver..." Do you have any good Halloween screen savers? I don't even have any bad ones. The bats looked like bats to me. 8.) "toys look like ugly garbage (go look at them)..." Are you actually reading the shit you type? We're talking movies here... not toys last time I checked. 8.) "and you all are going to look like idiots having loudly championed a film that will leave them all yawning. I, on the other hand, will look like the one geek in America who knows the fit from the fizzle." So now we get to it. You really, REALLY want this movie to suck so badly because you so loudly pronounced it would back when you first read that leaked script. To back off that position now might make you seem less the intuitive genius than your Dark Knight hero (whom you claim to know so well that, secretly, you must believe you are him or just like him). It's got to suck. It just has to... or else you'd be... (gasp) wrong? Just about everyone else posting here is going to have the balls and common sense to actually go watch the movie before trying to convince ourselves or anyone else it's horrible. Doubt we can say the same for you, though, given the crappy quality of the toys and the presence of a chick and all. 9.) "Suck my biggie." Are you offering me a sip of some soft drink procured from a 7-11? Or are you seeking some sort of wee weenie gratification? If it's the latter, I'm afraid I must decline as A.) I don't swing that way and B.) I left my tweezers and silly straw at home. Still with me, moviemack? Because Fuck You sends his regards, you annoying twit.
