cannot wait for this movie

this is what you get when you have a director and writer that really cares about the material.

Not some bleached blonde, too tanned cokehead who only wants to put his stamp on things.

Keep it up Nolan.

Anyone know when the first trailers going to be popping up?

It's not supposed to be a mobile as bike, but is the precursor to the "Bat Bike".

Now where is Daniel19 the douche or whatever the name is to tell me that "We know."? The guy just didn't get my comment in the other talkback.

I wish people could read sarcasm sometimes.

As for the guns, they're positioned low to the ground, so I would guess they're exclusively for slowing cars down with some blasts to the rear tires.

Hopefully it's an in-between stage for a much cooler suit in the third installment.

Hopefully with a yellow or gold bat like ckone mentioned. Gold would look cool.

How's Arnold's holding up? Tell Potsie he still owes me $5 for taking Mary Ellen to that "special" Doctor.

theblueroom - what? How did you want Batman to train? What is wrong with Ninjas? Surely Batman has always been a ninja? He uses martial arts, hides in shadows, uses graple hooks, smoke bombs to confuse bad guys etc.

All these things Ninjas do in reality so surely Batman would have Ninja training if he wanted to acheive the same effect.

And the new cowl means he will be able to move for the first time in a batman movie.

What is the better Batman film you seem to remember. The Burton films scraped through as being good by simply not really including Batman in the plot so they wouldn't have to deal with his character.

If he starts killing bad guys then he would be as bad as they are.

Anyhow, as someone that didn't like BB, this Pod crap smacks of the Schu with all the subtlety of a 2x4.

And, hey -- does Gordon get to drive it before he cheets on his wife?!

I have always loved Batman and BB while having its faults ws exeactly what me and most Batman fans have always wanted from a Batman movie.

I have nothing but respect for WB for taking such a risk, istead of using a viable franchise to make a kids movie and sell toys they gave it to a beloved director to actually make a film which requires you to think.

Although I suppose you're just upset because Schumacher didn't get the job again.

Despite that, yeah, bats doesn't kill. He doesn't use guns to smite crime, but when it all comes down to it -- if his maw cooks the breakfast without the hog, then today was a good day.

Yes I'm sure it will be just like Batman and Robin just because you think the bike looks silly (just like the tumbler did, eh!)

Sony had hired Tim Story for Spiderman and Freddie Prinze Jr for peter, it would have made financial sense at the time...

These studios don't have to hire good people or put effort into these films, they can do it shit and still make tons of cash (Fantastic Four).

Hollywood is a business and so everytime they take a risk when they don't have to I appreciate it.

If i gave you a song and said I want you to make a painting to illustrate what this song means it would be very different.

True Comics and movies are quite similar but like you say if the just copy the comic there is little point.

People complain if a movie contemparises something that was made 50 years ago in a comic. Well it was only like that because the comic was written 50 years ago. A film should reflect the time in which it is made.

Look what happened with Superman returns, people will look at it in 20 years and say that while it was made in the 00's it copied the style of the 70's film so it doesn't say anything or represent the time in which it was made.

Rant!

Don't forget with BB Nolan was forced to use Goyers script and had to kind of stick to what WB wanted to a degree. This time he will be making the film he wants.

Kind of like he couldn't see the wood for the trees.

He probably didn't realise how the film would play until it came together.

I think the bigest problem was Lois and Clark, they had no chemistry, hell they didn't even really have a scene together. They should be like best buddies, that's the energy which keeps Superman alive and adds the humour and heart.

Kurt Rusell as Bats

Richard E Grant as the Joker

Paul Newman as Comisioner Gordon.

I wanted (after waiting for over 10 years) for a NEW Superman, one which would represent the times in which WE live.

Not a conveluted re-make of the 70's version with the heart ripped out.

Still I respect to a degree SR and Spidey 3 because the directors tried (even if they failed) and that is much better than studio suit made shit like FF or X3.

And kryptonite is a lazy plot device in my opinion.

That is why i was so pleased they went with organic web shooters in Spidey because otherwise it would have been used as a lazy way to increase tension "Oh no, i've run out of web, just at the worst possible time to run out of web, again, just like yesterday, mmm."

Bruce and Gordon should be giant towering men, like 7 ft tall and nearly as wide.
