Rob Zombie should've directed this.
Cool report by The Pusher	Jun 21st, 2007 11:33:02 PM
For some reason, I like seeing photos like these, where the crew/cast isn't working on some big, important scene. Just the shots where they're going into or out of a building. It's neat. And not to be nitpicky, but is there anybody on this site who seriously doesn't know what a green screen is?

But did these guys seriously plan a trip to Chicago so that they could stalk The Dark Knight production???
lord almighty by BadMrWonka	Jun 21st, 2007 11:47:50 PM
this article (which is a group of sentences, and paragraphs about a certain topic) was a little heavy on the explanations (a declaration of the meaning of a given item) of every thing, and a listing of the movies each actor (a person who acts) has been in. I find this style of writing annoying (causing annoyance; irritatingly bothersome).
Gyllenhal by ewokstew	Jun 22nd, 2007 12:06:04 AM
Despite her very good acting skills, I still ain't feeling it.
You guys do know that Cillian Murphy by Colonel Activity	Jun 22nd, 2007 12:27:26 AM
shot scenes in a parking garage last night/morning. Yeah, I saw the pics. He was by a white van, wearing a suit and a burlap sack on his head. Good thing it hasn't been reported here. If anyone wants the link, give me a shout.
What the.. by Bagheera	Jun 22nd, 2007 12:36:26 AM
Do the guys here just have a stash of totally random Youtube vids lying around for when there's a slow news day or a less-than-earthmoving story to post? Merrick: "Well, this looks like the tenth Batman send-in we've gotten this week, and it looks pretty much the same as it did the last time we posted about it, so why don't I just sneak this little beauty in here...gold."

Thanks, CurlyCasey! by tiredpm	Jun 22nd, 2007 12:59:54 AM
Because I didn't know what a green-screen was used for in the movies (pictures passing by at a rate of 24 frames per second to give the impression of movement) and I (32-year old male working in the DC area) am thrilled (excited) that you were able to give me such an insight! (Sarcasm) (Twat) (Oh, and just for the hell of it, plant.)

How do you find out where they shoot?? by Crimson King	Jun 22nd, 2007 01:40:58 AM
I live here in Chicago, and I had a couple guys sit at one of my tables (I'm a server), and they told me they work SFX on The Dark Knight....I'm wondering where one can find all this "spy material." I'd love to see the shooting in action.

Ambiguously Turkish Duo? by Boris Baddenov	Jun 22nd, 2007 02:02:04 AM
Decent fight scenes -- but CAPELESS??!!
Maggie Gyllenhaal by The Brewhammer	Jun 22nd, 2007 02:06:06 AM
Still looks inbred. Thankfully I won't be seeing her in this. The "Dead Presidents with Lipstick" Joker, the "Robocop & Tron had a baby and named it Batman" suit redesign and the Bat'pod' with giant machine guns has made me realize that the previous film was a blessed anomaly and that this thing will suck even harder than the Schumacher "Batman & Robin" because people actually expected that to suck.
Not feeling it either. Why do we need Gyllenhal at all? by Big Dumb Ape	Jun 22nd, 2007 03:52:25 AM
Personally, if you HAD to continue on with the Rachel character, I would have preferred to simply have Katie Holmes back. She wasn't THAT bad and it would have kept the continuity nice. I mean, sure, it's one thing when an actor DIES (ie. Richard Harris in the POTTER films) and you HAVE to recast a core role -- but come on, one film and she's out? And that's not even the point. It isn't like I need to see Bruce/Batman having a STEADY girlfriend in these things. If you have to put in a female lead for romance purposes, then given that he IS Bruce Wayne, womanizing zillionaire to hide his identity, then just hire someone new for each film and cycle through actresses ala Bond. Sorry but the bottom line (to me) is that Rachel is a character I couldn't give two craps about to begin with. Hell, if you need to kill screen time, then put Michael Caine to better use and let's have more Alfred!

There is something about Christopher Nolan laughing... by i pwn teh suk and i pwn it well	Jun 22nd, 2007 04:07:35 AM
I cannot take my eyes off it. What is he laughing at? 'Aaron E', are you reading this?
I mean, he laughs WITH Eckhart... by i pwn teh suk and i pwn it well	Jun 22nd, 2007 04:11:49 AM
But he also laughs AT him. That's what I don't like about it. Maybe I'm reading too much into it. Oh what the hell, he mocks him, MOCKS him, do you hear? And Eckhart you are a fool falling for Nolan's feigned friendship.

Even though NOTHING seems to be happening in this scene by RockLobster800	Jun 22nd, 2007 07:28:31 AM
Im giddy with excitement, by sheer virtue of it being The Dark Knight...why those Scarecrow pics on Superherohype couldnt be of that quality is a bugger. Hopefully the 'Crow will be a used a little better in this one-I thought he was underused in Begins and dispatched WAAAAY to easily by Katie fucking holmes. Not the fact that a cool villain was taken care off by a woman with a electirc dealy, but that it was KATIE HOLMES with an electric dealy. If it had been Glyenhaal I could have dealt. But still, I am SOOOO geared up for this flick...

Actually I remember a report that said that the reason the ballet was cancelled was that Bruce Wayne took the entire production out on his boat.

new fucking love interest every movie, thats so tedious. Seriously did you ever care about the girl in a bond movie? No because you knew she was never going to be seen again after it was over.
Just cos I can... by RockLobster800	Jun 22nd, 2007 08:20:18 AM
Just for the fun Im stating as a huge Bat fan the order of quality of the flicks- 1. Batman-Mask Of The Phantasm it really is just the best. Maybe it can get away with more things that you could in a live action one (you can forgive certian plot gaps) but seriously this was GOOOOOOOD. They nailed the tragic nature of Batman, making it look like he was really doomed in his choice to become the Dark Knight and his ife was noble but terminally un-fufillied. And they really nailed the Joker-a whacky cartoon character with a fearsome evil side (the scene of him attacking Councilman Reed is amazing). and it even has the best Batman theme. 2. Batman Returns-thats right, its better. It may be more Burton than Batman, but it WORKS. Fantastic interpretations of The Penguin and Catwoman and it just had a more visceral feel thatn the rest of them, with a real feeling of danger and a twisted vision of Gotham that suits the freaks that inhabit it. 3. Batman Begins-gret stuff, particualrly Bale. Most faithful adaptation probably, and they dealt the right hand in making it realsitic. However, a few faults-Katie Holmes, the silly "swear to me" voice and they kinda underplayed Scarecrow. But I have th upmost confidence that The Dark Knight will dleiver on all the promise shown here. 4. Batman-grew up with it, love it, but against the others it just feels okay rahter than great. which is a pity cos the Joker is my favourite villain of all time ever and Jack does deliver for the most part (though hes a bit plump). the scene of him smashing the mirror at the surgeons sill sends chills.... 5. Return Of The Joker- the flashback to Robins and the Jokers fae at the end is masterful, but I never bought into the rest of the Terry Mc Guinness stuff... and the rest in order 6. Batman Forever 7. Mystery of the Batman 8. Batman (1960) 9. Batman and Robin Hopefully Nolans next one will room Phantasms crown....
If you think Maggie's hot, you're a moron by Da B-Meister	Jun 22nd, 2007 08:21:01 AM
She's about as homely as any chick you'd see in a local Walmart. There isn't a single thing particularly attractive about her.

They're not being sneaky anymore. I work two blocks from the trailers they're using near that garage...doors say "Scarecrow Double" and "Scarecrow Gang" all over them. They also say "Faux Batman," "B Double," and "Chechen Bodyguards." A couple of days ago, they said "J Double" and "Joker Gang." Sneaky!

Da B-Meister by Da B-Meister	Jun 22nd, 2007 09:38:26 AM
If you find Maggie to be hot (and she most definitely is NOT), then you're probably the sort that finds Bea Arthur at the height of her sexual attractiveness NOW.
Maggie has nice boobies by Rupee88	Jun 22nd, 2007 09:48:23 AM
If you think she is unattractive, then you are a homo...nothing wrong with being a fag, but that's what you are if you don't like attractive women and titties.
Maggie is unattractive with tiny titties by Da B-Meister	Jun 22nd, 2007 09:50:50 AM
....and that's how it is. She's no more attractive than the common Walmart cashier, and her breasts are quite un-spectacular.
seriously people... by RockLobster800	Jun 22nd, 2007 10:13:09 AM
look at that photo. Newpaper cutting...on the Opera house door!! Its clealry got some kind of plot point on it!! Can anyone decipher it?
What's all this Maggie/ugly nitpick shit? by isispop	Jun 22nd, 2007 10:35:35 AM
First of all, she ain't ugly...but what's your point if you think she is? Would you rather go back to Elle McPherson/unrealisticly hot & have that dunce sound like she's readin their lines right off the page for the 1st time? She's a DA, not a supermodel. IF it was someone that was hotter you'd be complaining that a DA wouldn't really be that hot, & it's distracting and/or not convincing. Besides, the chick can act...so give her a chance. You basement dwellers couldn't do any better anyway.
Turkish Batman sure is flippy and bouncy... by BRD529	Jun 22nd, 2007 10:42:51 AM
It's kinda sad that the fight scenes in an old Turkish Batman are better shot and easier to follow than Begins. Hopefully Nolan will at least pull the camera back three or four feet so we can see what's going on this time...
Gyllenhaal is spectacular by darrenspool	Jun 22nd, 2007 11:07:57 AM
Ever watch 'Secretary'? Notice how seriously unattractive she is in that role. No one, and I mean no one, can ACT unattractive in a sexy role like this dogfaced bitch.

Sorry for being so "annoying" by CurlyCasey	Jun 22nd, 2007 12:16:22 PM
I'm the one who took these photos (and I'm a female, by the way/Merrick screwed that up) I was just joking when I said I planned our trip to Chicago around the Dark Knight filming. So take it easy on me, geez! I posted these pictures to share them with people, I didn't think I'd get hammered for it. Also, the reason for the long, "annoying" text was because I had sent it to family members who (unlike all of you here) have no idea what a green screen is, etc. I guess I'll be more carefull next time when I post pictures not to annoy everyone.

but instead, I think it makes The Dark Night unnecessary. Why mess with perfection. I especially like how Turk-Bat saved the girl leaving Turk-Robin to take on all those thugs by himself. Just like the old days in the big house.

Turkish Batman is Classic! by kdoc13	Jun 22nd, 2007 02:23:04 PM
Who knew batman used the James Bond theme while driving away in a russian made Travant. I especially loved the running leap he made to partake in the 3-way! All time best however, the fight scenes with Robin and Batman doing the "Hold my left foot so I can do a flip kick that takes out three guys." Classic! Plus, Bats gets laid. And apparently gets laid a lot. That's a hero deserving of fandom!
Did anyone else here that Cilliam Murphy is in this? by trombone	Jun 22nd, 2007 04:11:18 PM
My guess is that his fear-stuff is what creates the Joker--so it is Batman's fault, indirectly.

The "faux" Batman fighting the Scarecrow by dihay	Jun 22nd, 2007 09:35:13 PM
is the character that Anthony Micheal Hall is playing in the movie...trust me on this. The Racheal Dawes character is used in the film as a conduit for trusting the Batman...maybe not necessary but she does have a purpose. I don't think the character will be around for another sequel.

Cillian Murphy... by Crimson King	Jun 23rd, 2007 02:49:27 AM
Was pretty awesome as the Scarecrow. I really hope he's back and has a good part to play in this. He does the whole Crane/Scarecrow very well. As it is, this movie is rockin' a pretty sweet cast.

if only just to have her be killed off. But if you ask me, as far as having an ongoing romance of any kind...if its not catwoman or talia...then batman does NOT need a love interest in a movie!!

I was walking around downtown, but all I saw were trucks and lights and shit. Nothing too incredibly exciting. I think I got there too early, though. Plus, I got out there rather quick 'cause I was wearing my blue Cubs shirt (go Cubbies!) and I stood out like a sore thumb. Maybe I'll try again tonight or something....I don't even give a shit if I get pictures or whatever, I just wanna see them filming the fucker.
