This movie by Mr. Lahey	Aug 16th, 2007 08:46:14 PM
had my $10 the day it was announced. The Joker looks great.
Awesome... by Xanther	Aug 16th, 2007 08:46:23 PM
I'm going to miss the tumbler. And I'm looking forward to the seeing the montage of Bruce assembling his new gear.
Crazy by FreeKill	Aug 16th, 2007 08:46:48 PM
That's a lot of images. I bet they won't last long...LOL Gonna be a great movie!
Nice by Virtual Satyr	Aug 16th, 2007 08:47:37 PM
I'm looking forward to this.
I hope those aren't... by GrubStreeter	Aug 16th, 2007 08:48:46 PM
...guns on the batcycle, or whatever they're calling it. Otherwise - all looks very cool. The team earned my trust with the last one. Next summer is shaping up to be a decent one superhero-wise. This and Iron Man look promising - Hulk could go either way.
Suhweet by krushjudgement	Aug 16th, 2007 08:50:42 PM
I just got so damn excited. Maybe they'll tighten up the plot holes this time around. ooh.

The Joker... by HOTDOGVNDR	Aug 16th, 2007 08:51:58 PM
looks like shit. I can't wait to see the movie, but that Joker reminds me of how bad The Penguin looked in the Original Second movie.
Looks great by VanLingoMungo	Aug 16th, 2007 08:52:52 PM
Like the Joker look a lot.
Here, put these on your little website by INWOsuxRED	Aug 16th, 2007 08:53:06 PM
then take them down in a half hour. Prentend you're breaking some rules or something, and promote the shit out of our movie. We'll send over the hooker with the big strap on dildo later.
ouch by godhelpus	Aug 16th, 2007 08:53:25 PM
this does not look good, the new costume looks weak
I just don't think i'm diggin the joker too much but... by eggbeater	Aug 16th, 2007 08:54:04 PM
i still cant wait to see this movie
Looks Good by MattXFL	Aug 16th, 2007 08:54:31 PM
Interesting take on the Joker. Like what they've done with the Bat headquarters under Wayne Manor. Feeling very hopeful that Nolan will again hit this one out of the park.
I just blew my load... by expert40	Aug 16th, 2007 08:56:08 PM
... like it was motherfuckin' prom night!!! I'm not big on the look for the Batcave though... far to bright for a character who is so psychologically dark, you know? And I'm not sold on the new batsuit. The helmet/cowl is actually cool, but you know what it looks like? Football pads. Now I know most of y'all have never strapped on a set of pads, but that's what they look like. Kind of a let down. But everything else look fucking awesome. And HOTDOGVNDR, you suck dick for a living, because LedgerJoker kicks fucking ASS!!!
BALE LOST WEIGHT?? by THE KNIGHT	Aug 16th, 2007 08:56:33 PM
Other than that, the photos look great! This is for the people that didn't attend Wizard World!

I am soooo excited about this next installment
also, the new bat suit by Locutus_Jones	Aug 16th, 2007 08:59:06 PM
looks like it came out of a Japanese super hero movie. Is that good? Bad?
TOO SOON!!! PLANTED IMAGES!!!!!!! by BringingSexyBack	Aug 16th, 2007 08:59:21 PM
Very nice. Batman looks like Robocop. Funny to see a bunch of Batmen just chillin.
Kid in the parking structure... by VanLingoMungo	Aug 16th, 2007 09:00:03 PM
Looks like Cillian Murphy. 8th picture down, next to fatman Batman.
are u fucking kidding by sokitome	Aug 16th, 2007 09:00:14 PM
OMFG you guys actually think that joker looks good? Are u fucking serious...looks fucking awful!
I likey I likey by Bloo	Aug 16th, 2007 09:00:52 PM
granted this movie had my $$$ before I saw anything, but wow...I like the combonation of realistic joker with the makeup and over the top comic bok/Adam Westesque Joker with the suit and heath looks better then I thought he would
looks by godhelpus	Aug 16th, 2007 09:02:13 PM
very washed out look, have to say I prefer the Begins costume now, very spare Euro look to the whole thing, all the white concrete, Bale looks too skinny, joker looks to be interesting, not how I picture Batman but let's see what the English have cooked up this time
I don't generally like heath Ledger one bit. by MetiphisLabs	Aug 16th, 2007 09:02:23 PM
But I will see this out of curiosity. This will truly make or break him in my eyes.
These pictures are too clear by Snookeroo	Aug 16th, 2007 09:02:39 PM
and carefully chosen to be anything BUT deliberate. But who cares?
New suit look... articulated. by Daddylonghead	Aug 16th, 2007 09:02:57 PM
Not trying to be a hater, just saying. When you've got a villain as bizarre as the joker, it would behoove Batman to look less cartoony. Christian Bale in a dress suit always looks like BATEMAN. Fuck, I have like five other nitpicks, but whatever, I'm sure this movie will be cool.
here is even more of them. by GQtaste	Aug 16th, 2007 09:02:58 PM

Joker & Batman BOTH look bad! by Mogwai Democracy	Aug 16th, 2007 09:06:24 PM
sorry, ledger just doesn't have the facial structure at all. anybody could put on white makeup, sloppy red lipstick, and dye their hair purple and look as much like the Joker as he does. and the Batsuit is off. it looks too... segmented i guess is the word i'm looking for. head & neck shape are all wrong & the cape doesn't have enough body to it. just aesthetic criticisms. i'm sure the movie as a whole will be good, but i'm not liking the visual choices they've made.
metiphislabs by Charlie Murphy	Aug 16th, 2007 09:06:57 PM
there's two breaks in the link. i just tried it, it works, but there's no additional pics. GQtaste is on crack.
A few perspectives by The Game Master	Aug 16th, 2007 09:07:08 PM
Just to be the voice of reason on a few things: 1) The Batsuit. These are brightly lit. Batman is mostly seen in the dark. The exageration of definition on the suit is probably simply so he can be better seen in the dark shots, which will be most of the film. 2) Joker's look. I like it. It looks "real", as in the makeup is not symmetrical like he's in a play, but chaotic, as if he's genuinely f---ed up, either physically or in the head (preferably both). The Joker should not have a "clown" look, but rather, a demented, evil clown, like kids probably see in clowns when adults do not. 3) The "new Batcave" may not even BE the Batcave at all. It could just be part of Wayne Enterprizes where Bruce goes to get new gear. Remember Morgan Freeman's workshop in the first film? Well, now he's the boss, so he has a better facility. 4) Leaked shots. Obviously. Probably something the Joker is up to. That'd be cool!

fantastic look for the joker by Stormwatcher	Aug 16th, 2007 09:08:10 PM

old bat suit in the one pic by erichaislar	Aug 16th, 2007 09:10:09 PM
So at sometime his old suit gets fucked up.
the new batsuit by godhelpus	Aug 16th, 2007 09:10:29 PM
sucks, bright or dark, too much armor, the nose is too big, the shape of the ears sucks, the begins costume even though its awkward gives him a bit more bulk and makes him more intimidating, even though the ears and neck suck on that too

Euro and Japanese influence... by Daddylonghead	Aug 16th, 2007 09:10:29 PM
to whoever said that, absolutely spot on, great call! That is indeed what the batsuit looks like, a very Japanese film look. And, the interiors and the overall palate look very Euro, now that that is pointed out, I agree! My doubts about the segmented, articulated suit aside, I really like the brighter look... why not? Dark has been done to death.
i dont mind the joker by adzigjo	Aug 16th, 2007 09:10:56 PM
but nolan fucked up on the suit.... the suit is everything that batman is...
agreed stormwatcher by Charlie Murphy	Aug 16th, 2007 09:12:16 PM
there's almost nothing nolan could have done to the character that i wouldn't have eventually come around to. i've been on board with heath from day one, and my enthusiasm has only grown since, but like i said, unless he was some crazy gambling alien from the planet "joker" who arrived on earth on a flying playing card and the first thing he saw is the bat signal and thought "i'ma kill this bat-man", i probably would've ended up digging it.
Looks Like Bale is off the roids for this one by picardsucks	Aug 16th, 2007 09:12:27 PM
Kinda skinny compared with the last film Looks pretty fucking cool though!!!
Yeah, joker looks cool, I think by Daddylonghead	Aug 16th, 2007 09:13:01 PM
it's all in the performance, that will be key, but I like the insane klown painted look.
THESE PICS CAME FROM BRAZIL by Odametal	Aug 16th, 2007 09:13:27 PM
The first website to post them was Judão.com They found it and post it around 20:30 Brazilia time, which was about 3 hours ago. Some dude copy that and post it on SHH forum. Give THEM the credit for it. They sure deserve it. http://www.judao.com.br/cinema /noticia/exclusivo-veja-novas- imagens-de-the-dark-knight/#co mment-44900

I'm really looking forward to this movie even more now, and I didn't think that was possible. I love the Joker look.

Looks like... by Queen Liffey	Aug 16th, 2007 09:16:53 PM
... the plot rumors from earlier are true (multiple fake Batdudes). I'm not judging 'til I see the film itself. Can't say I'm not excited though :)

Batman Dies when Cape Sucks Into Bike by BigFatBaby	Aug 16th, 2007 09:18:06 PM
or wait i forgot it's Batman's magic cape. Its 20 feet across when he's flying yet barely scrapes the ground he's walking. Then when he gets on the bike I guess he tucks it into his huggies.
It DIDN'T CAME FROM THE SHH by Odametal	Aug 16th, 2007 09:19:02 PM
It DIDN'T CAME FROM THE SHH FORUMS. I REPEAT. IT DIDN'T CAME FROM THE SHH FORUMS. Check the first guy that post the pics. He's from Brazil. If someone prove me wrong, that we'll be fine. THE PICS CAME FROM www. judao.com.br
Batman was never one of my favorite characters by DarthJedi	Aug 16th, 2007 09:22:26 PM
mainly because he's not a SUPER hero. He's just like everyone else only with a lot of money and cool toys. But damn if the last flick didn't get me into this character. A history that actually makes sense and is somewhat realistic. These pics look pretty frigging cool too. I really hope Nolan keeps the feel from the first flick. Can't wait to see this in the theater!
Not screencaps by TequilaMocking	Aug 16th, 2007 09:23:06 PM
Production skills. Genius.
I saw the WizardWorld footage.... by lovethatjoker	Aug 16th, 2007 09:25:19 PM
...and Heath Ledger is going to be incredible. He looks sadistic and demented. And the movie as a whole looks TEN TIMES darker than Begins. Don't know how that will bode with the box-office, but it looked sweet to me.
His new bike by Munro Kelly	Aug 16th, 2007 09:25:54 PM
Is it just me, or does his cape looks dangerously close to the rear tire? Remember what Edna Mode said in The Incredibles.

Joker's skin is now paint? by Junkhouse Gargamel	Aug 16th, 2007 09:28:42 PM
I gotta agree that these shots don't look close to dark enough. I know they're trying to recreate the Batman World but they're axing out some great ideas. Seeing Bats in all that padding makes him seem like more of a pussy. I wanted to see him in less this time around. -Like he got better at what he does. Bourne and Bond don't need any fuckin armour. -Look how deadly they are. And what's with Joker's skin? Didn't the story go that his skin was bleached? I always loved that!
Interesting. by lost.rules	Aug 16th, 2007 09:29:06 PM
Like The Batman Begins images that were released before the movie, I don't like them, but I loved the movie. Hopefully, this will happen again.
I like the fake Batmans. by lost.rules	Aug 16th, 2007 09:31:33 PM
Perhaps Joker is trying to frame him.
I see the Joker, I hear the Joker, but.... by GobBluth06	Aug 16th, 2007 09:33:00 PM
The bat pics look great. The suit really doesnt bother me that much. As long as he looks cool fighting as such then I'm ok. Same thing with The Joker. I'm not sold 100% on the pics but I really need to see Ledger in action to really see if I will like this Joker. I'm looking at the close up pic of him and listening to the voice in the teaser. Its starting to come together, but I need to see him moving to really tell. Regardless, theyre going to have my $12 bucks for an IMAX ticket and another 20 something bucks for the dvd.
Man, these fucking rule by Doctor_Sin	Aug 16th, 2007 09:33:36 PM
No more to say - it's gonna rock.
AWESOME. by Mr. Nice Gaius	Aug 16th, 2007 09:35:10 PM
That shot of Batman against the cityscape is FANTASTIC. Gary Oldman said at WizardWorld that the work Ledger does in this film is incredible. If my man Oldman is blown away by Heath's performance, that's ALL I NEED TO KNOW. Much like BATMAN BEGINS, I can't wait to see how the characters, the story, and the gadgets evolve over the course of the film. I'm really looking forward to this. And if Nolan and Co. are keeping it smart, it should be great. RIP Tumbler...

Bale's weight/bulk by Fish Tank	Aug 16th, 2007 09:44:07 PM
Bale's an amazing guy. No, it doesn't look like he's as big as last time, but this was filmed right after he did Rescue Dawn. He was scrawny for that. He said he only lost 60 lbs in that movie (still insane), but not as much as he did for The Machinist (after which he put on crazy beef for BB). The man really gets into his roles.
Hey Laser by BringingSexyBack	Aug 16th, 2007 09:45:10 PM

you guys are all blind by bootle2	Aug 16th, 2007 09:45:36 PM
bats is getting kicked in the left hip. Look at his foot, it's obviously his left; he's got his back to the camera somewhat. Also, merrick sucks and must be fired (I can predict he posted something solely by how annoyed I am at the title. I'm definitely batting 0.7--0.8)

Never rub another man's rhubarb! by performingmonkey	Aug 16th, 2007 09:46:53 PM
He really looks like Nicholson's Joker in that shot where the makeup is fucked up. I like that it's makeup, it makes him more wrong in the head instead of going insane BECAUSE of his white skin. And they couldn't have explained away the perma-white skin look, no way. We've already seen him fall into the acid so there's no need to retread all that. PLUS, Dent gets the acid in his face, so having The Joker with makeup face makes him different to Two-Face.
The batcave by bootle2	Aug 16th, 2007 09:47:18 PM
looks like an office building made entirely of concrete. Where's the, you know, CAVE aspects? Why the super-bright drop ceiling?
love 'em by mrwho	Aug 16th, 2007 09:48:00 PM
the pics rock, but I'm a little concerned about the suit, but I'm confident Nolan knows what he's doing. And Fish Tank I thought he lost 60 lbs for Machinist, or was it more?
jesus by supermarch	Aug 16th, 2007 09:48:44 PM
that's a damned good find. Joker looks better every time I see more.
Joker looks stupid... by cornponious	Aug 16th, 2007 09:48:45 PM
Joker doesn't wear makeup. His face was turned white by the chemicals he jumped into. COMIC BOOK IS CANON!!! I'm just sayin'...
The pics being too bright... by ishz	Aug 16th, 2007 09:49:19 PM
These are very early leaks. With the movie a little less than a year away, these is still plenty of time for color correction and all those sorts of tweaks. I remember before Batman Begins came out I hated those pics of the tumbler but after the movie, I feel in love with it.
Bale gained 300 lbs, then dropped 290, then gained by BringingSexyBack	Aug 16th, 2007 09:50:10 PM
100, then dropped 40 then gained 200 then dropped 400. Guy's fucking insane.
amazing pics by Automation Overlord	Aug 16th, 2007 09:50:15 PM

Is there a batflap for take-a-shit time? by BringingSexyBack	Aug 16th, 2007 09:51:21 PM
Can't be easy when Batman got the runs.
It's NOT the Batcave! by performingmonkey	Aug 16th, 2007 09:53:47 PM
It looks like the same factory/hanger where Bruce tested out the tumbler in Batman Begins. Fox will make him the new suit.
Bale and the suit by McCroskey	Aug 16th, 2007 09:54:17 PM
It looks like Bale didn't bother too much this time with the weight-lifting. I would have thought that he'd be in even better shape this time since he didn't have the crazy adjustment like he did last time from the "Machinist". That's sort of disappointing. The suit is still too busy, but at least he can turn his head now. Otherwise it looks great.
No..really... by Frankenbastard	Aug 16th, 2007 09:55:29 PM
Ok I take it all back… This looks way worse than I thought it would. Are you guys really going to roll over and accept THAT as the Joker!? No wonder why Hollywood keeps regurgitating shit. Batman’s head looks enormous and his suit it too Robocopish. I mean, where the hell is The Batman in all that armor crap? I said it before and I’ll say it again this looks like one giant toy commercial. Don’t even get me started on the Joker. The whole direction they’re taking this is retarded with sugar on top.
Bale is amazing. by GavinVanDraven	Aug 16th, 2007 09:55:34 PM
this guy gets an oscar someday. believe it. as far as these pics go, i am having mixed feelings. i still think Joker should have been played by Crispin Glover.
Frankenbastard by Mr. Nice Gaius	Aug 16th, 2007 09:56:35 PM
I disagree.
Joker will look better with the camera filters by BringingSexyBack	Aug 16th, 2007 09:57:56 PM

Holy Shnikeys Skinny Batman! by RedJester	Aug 16th, 2007 09:59:42 PM
Is it just me or does Batman look way less believable now that he's not ripped. Just sayin... And these pics do look a little too Schumaker for it's own good. Man I hope they don't eff this up!!! Maybe Aronofsky should have been the one to helm this series...
Yo, BSB by LaserPants	Aug 16th, 2007 10:00:14 PM

Just lovin these Bat pics and posting Indiana Jones titles. Basically it's been a "Waste A Day On AICN" kinda day.
Joker by Jim Halpert	Aug 16th, 2007 10:03:30 PM
The pics of Joker in the vest -- the last closeup and the interrogation room shots -- look like he's just wearing clown makeup. The other caps in the purple suit look like he's had some facial scarring and the white coloring on his face is more uniform. I guess he starts out as a run-of-the-mill gimmicky criminal and turns into something worse later in the film
The Batcave by jwadventure	Aug 16th, 2007 10:04:19 PM
Remember this is supposed to be soon after Batamn Begins. No time to rebuild the batcave yet. He's probably based out of his penthouse or Wayne Enterprises. And the joker makeup... if they are hugging reality it is the best way to go. It makes the scar all the more wicked and plays to his insane mind

These are definitly screen caps. Perfect symmetry and lighting and no production background. Remember though, they have not gone through post production so by the time the movie comes out they could be darker, lighter, moodier, creepier.

I love Nolan's take on Batman, its real, its gritty, and unlike most superhero movies his vision feels like the world he created is actually possible. And I love his darker more sinister take on the Joker, this is how I imagine the Joker being.

I think you guys are missing something very important. Bale is wearing two different suits. He wears the one from the last movie when he is climbing the wall and standing next to the guy with the ak47 and then later on when he is on the chicago rooftop and gordon's back porch it shows the sleeker cowl and costume. So what is up with that? Why the change of duds?

Yeah the suit doesn't do much for me. by Doc_Strange	Aug 16th, 2007 10:37:59 PM
To me, and I don't know if anyone would agree, the batsuit always felt like a second skin. This looks too much like riot gear or body armor to look anything like the batsuit. I thought Batman wore the costume like in the comics because of his training and didn't need armor, he used the shadows and whatnot almost like he was really confident, almost arrogant,but did in fact get shot, stabbed, burned or even knocked out a few times. Hell, he had his back broken too. But here it seems like he's too made up and yes, the suit is rather busy. I much prefer the Burton costume. That felt more like Batman to me, even with the restrictive head movement. He was still able to kick ass and the suit looked ten times better.

CHILDSPLAY by filmgenius	Aug 16th, 2007 10:59:38 PM
last time in which i decided to talk within the forum which is this one, i was accused as being both incomprehensible in addition to condescending. hopefully now, after witnessing the on top story and accompaniment photographs, you all agree with me, that all BATMAN is is childrensplay. it is almost as though it is an analogy in which is evidencial of the decay of that which medium is film in itself. i feel as though i have a right to educate all who are on this forum because i am he who has been an individual fortunate enough to be educated in film school. i've said it before and again in this time i will say it: i at least and acquainted wit hthe opinions of famouis film scholars whom all of you have had the advantage of reading, i am the only one who has. i know what makes film great and BATMAN contains nothing of this which is making film great. in fact there is very little of that in the society in which we find ourselves today. BATMAN was born in a kids medium: comic books, as an alternative making of film noir movies which were quite brilliant, but it is everso which it is unfortunate that none of you have probably ever heard the term FILM NOIR. mr. nolan simply is not knowing how to direct. his last film lacked qualities and this film i scertain to do so. what do your guys's think?

Sadly, most will not take note and we'll conitnue to be subjected to piles of steaming sequel shit (X-Men 4.0?), useless "revamps" (Punisher "2": Frank's Back!), and pointless spinoffs (Who the FUCK cares about seeing Magneto's learning to mind-spoon in his pubescent years??).

* Should look much better in context of edited film. * by JDanielP	Aug 16th, 2007 11:47:05 PM
I actually had a sick feeling as I looked at those shots. As I was feared, in getting a clear shot of the Batman suit, I absolutely hate it. Where's the freakin' artists of costume design??? Sure, we geeks may imagine our comic books coming to life within the fantasy worlds they take place, ...in that the story becomes reality. But in my experience, that never comes at the sacrifice of incredible images. I don't know why this can't lean into the realm of being something visually exciting to LOOK at. At least Burton had THAT going for him. And I suppose if Tim Burton was teamed with Nolan here, ...in that Burton was leading the art direction, I suppose THEN we might all win. But personally, I do NOT like what I am "seeing" here. --And allow me to say that designing a better costume for ALL players would be simple. Hear that? Simple. Easy. No problem. Give me a half-day and I'd have the sketches and notes to prove my point. But yeah, whatever. Like is most often the case, we will settle for what Hollywood shovel us. At least I can count on "THE DARK KNIGHT" being better than "SPIDER-MAN 3".

stop bashing! by kroenen2688	Aug 17th, 2007 12:12:25 AM
first off, these were more than likely brightened to show detail (it looks like the promotion pix for begins and Prestige). I wouldn't worry about the bright room being the new cave because it looks really industrial...kinda like...hmmm..Wayne Enterprises? If it was the cave why would the suit need to pop out of the floor, alas stay hidden the rest of the time. Not to Mention there is no way that Wayne manor could be rebuilt so fast. I think he has to use W.E. as a new headquarters. With Begins Nolan went for the whole Practical/realistic approach and in that respect I think everything looks AMAZING. The suit design looks as though it goes back to his ninja armor in the first film and I'm thinking something happens to the old suit because it is in a few pix so it looks like he gets a chance to design his armor like he gets to design a new cave. As for the Joker he just looks fucking amazing!! i wish there was a pic of him with the "tommy Gun" from the new trailer.

Looks vastly underwhelming, hopefully I will think differently by the time the film roles around.

Film Genius= by cromwell1666	Aug 17th, 2007 01:54:41 AM
is just some lonely dude trying to push peoples buttons to get a rise out of someone. I went to film school too, and one of the first things you are taught is that Everything has artistic merit on some level. One of my professors, avante-garde filmmaker Ken Jacobs, would expose his classes to the value of a whole range of film styles. He would show Von Stroheim's "Greed" and "Wizard of Oz" in the same class. He once told us that he sat through "Chinese Odysses: Pandora's Box" twice in a row. And this is from a sophisticated filmmaker whos work is in the Whitney. So, ignore film genius. If he is serious it just means he is limited mentally an unable to see the depth in everything. its more of a comment on him then on the film.

Batcave by TheDesolateOne	Aug 17th, 2007 02:57:18 AM
Guys, The Batcave hasn't been built yet because of the mansion burning down. This movie takes place relatively soon after Batman Begins. Wayne is living in his penthouse apartment in Gotham City while the mansion (and the Batcave) are being constructed. The pic with the computers is a room in the apartment that Wayne is using as a makeshift Batcave.

Important re : fake Bats ! by Dude_gimme_tabs	Aug 17th, 2007 04:14:16 AM
As I posted in the other thread, Look at the costumes! That could kinda give it away. In the shots of several fake Bats sitting with Scarecrow, it is unclear but the costumes look home made.... is that a Baseball keepers chest guard one has on ? Are these a bunch of wannabe schmoes making Batman costumes themselves and running around Gotham ? AND MORE IMPORTANTLY where you can see the costumes on these OTHER Batmans, the costumes resemble his outfit from the first movie. PLOT POINT - Is the existence of these wannabe fakes in Gotham the reaon he unveils or switches to his new costume ? Also, all of the shots of people doing bat-cave like activities do not appear to be in the cave, but in the Applied Tech area at Wayne Enterprises. Oh yeah....and..... ....we know how Nolan likes his Miller (Frank, not the beer), and don't forget in Dark Knight Returns there was that guy who tried to be Batman, dressed in a home made costume, who gets shot trying to prevent a liquor store robbery. Plus all that "Sons of Batman" nonsense as well.

theycallmemrglass by theycallmemrglass	Aug 17th, 2007 04:44:43 AM
Batman Begins was great but there was one big problem - the score. Or rather lack of a Batman theme. These films really need a proper Batman theme. I'm not saying something like Danny Elfman's (which is great but suited to the more extravagant Burton movies) - something more like the Batman, Phantasiam cartoon. Or at least some tune that we can identify the new batman. Also, overall, I thought the score was poor for the actions sequences too. I know this is set in more of a real world setting than Burton's but we still need a heros tune. Check out Unbreakable when Bruce Willis rises outof the Pool - that was as realistic a world as you can get with the terrific "Unbreakable Man"'s Hero theme playing (although on the CD they call it the "Orange Man" - YUK"!). Know what I mean?

Thanks for the link Desolate One, That really answered my concerns! Feel better now. Even though its still Zimmer (who is a great composer) he seems to be acknowlegding the lack of Batamn theme tune - Cool. I wonder if he might give Batman a sort of Maximus Dextus merilious tune? Why not? Whatever, He'll deliver in his own way and I'm sure now we'll be happy.

2 joker looks by Bouncy X	Aug 17th, 2007 06:37:00 AM
i noticed that first pic just looks like regular makeup thats all smeared probably due to fighting or something. then some of the others further down show the whole "scarred" look. so i guess he wears the makeup before he truly becomes the joker. as far as all the complaints over batman's suit, it looks just like that picture that was released a few months ago so whats the big deal or surprise. and yes, the pics do seem way to bright but i doubt the final movie will look that way.
Hmmmm... Still undecided... by Pawprint	Aug 17th, 2007 06:37:18 AM
I like certain photo's I see of Ledger as the Joker, but then I dislike others. I like the shot of him kicking Batman - that looks bang on. Plus, I'm still not completely sold on the white-skin-and-green-hair-as-m ake-up angle. I wish Nolan could have found a way of incorporating the fact that the skin/hair and lips are all 'real' and physically the result of an accident. This is important for me because I feel that we need to have just the tiniest bit of sympathy for The Joker - ala 'The Killing Joke', and it shows that Batman and The Joker are different sides of the same coin - both the result of a traumatic experience. But who knows? Maybe we'll see this anyway, but Nolan has chosen to approach it froma different angle. As for people out there labelling other 'apologists' - at the moment there is nothing to apologise for; nor is there anything really worth writing the film off for. There seems to be a trend these days with people dismissing a film out of hand just by going on a few out-of-context images or rumours. Fuck me, the film hasn't even finished shooting yet and knobs are ranting about 'apologists' and not wanting to watch it because it'll be shit. Only Summer 2008 will bring us those answers...
oh and the cape... by Bouncy X	Aug 17th, 2007 06:43:28 AM
those two shots of him coming down with the cape/glider open, you can see the cable holding him so these are probably all unfinished shots. i doubt they'd leave the cable visible since the last movie showed us he can sorta fly temporarily.
The joker... by Freefinger	Aug 17th, 2007 06:43:29 AM
Yeah.. Mee too I'm a little thrown off by the Joker's look, I was hoping they would go a little bit better on his look. He just looks like a crazed lunatic that put some white on his face with red lipstick across his cheeks... It's kinda .. bleh... I still think they'll blow our minds away with this movie and we'll forget about it. Kuddos for the pics!

The Batcave by jasper Stillwell	Aug 17th, 2007 06:45:59 AM
I hope that is the Batcave as it looks really interesting in a design sense. Remember Nolan is fixated on classic Bond (OHMSS for example and at one point when Bale re-enters the Wayne Foundation and chats up the secretary he becomes Bond pretty mauc) and this looks like Ken Adam designing the Batcave, very classy. It would also make complete psychological sense for the 'Cave' not to be gothic and all Burton-ised in this 'real' take on the legend. It would have to be a 'neutral', 'halfway' space between Bruce Wayne and Batman as well as functional workshop. Nolan is clever bastard he really is.
Hugo Weaving Would Have Been the PERFECT Joker by Lord Thislewick	Aug 17th, 2007 06:56:21 AM

Anyway, lets hope Ledger has a fatal fall and Weaving comes in and takes over. cheers

I think it's a "Joker Begins" scenario. by Nice Marmot	Aug 17th, 2007 07:34:09 AM
Crazy ass punk who paints his face will eventually make the look permanent. At least I hope so. I've never pictured Batman getting white greasepaint on his fists. And is anybody else getting the vibe that maybe TwoFace is the main villain with Joker getting less screen time and becoming the main baddie in the 3rd one? I really wouldn't mind. Shouldn't the best villain be last?
Awesome by Dwide Shrewd	Aug 17th, 2007 07:35:24 AM
Joker kicks Batman in the Brazil nuts. Looks like Joker finally got himself some of those wonderful toys, too. Can't wait.
It's all just theory at this point by Daddylonghead	Aug 17th, 2007 07:36:16 AM
but I think Two-Face will play a role in this movie about the same as Venom did in the 3rd Spiderham.

Glad to see that Jack Nicholson will remain the one by Stalin vs Predator	Aug 17th, 2007 08:45:34 AM
true movie Joker. Especially compared to this laughable goof. Then again, there was only one true Batman movie so far (its almost as excellent sequel counts as its extension) - too bad we went from the true movie and its maker Tim Burton to... this.
BringingSexyBack by Odametal	Aug 17th, 2007 08:46:47 AM
Please, don't do the Batdance. There's a episode from the 60' show that was redub in portuguese with some crazy shit. One of them: Joker: I don't care, I'm gonna fuck Batman's Aunt. Everytime I look a that pic for the THIS IS GOTHAM, I see that Ledger could say that. LOL
But everybody loves the Batdance by BringingSexyBack	Aug 17th, 2007 08:56:31 AM
It was bigger than the Macarena. You guys remember that? Why are people so nutty? Anyway, to everyone who thinks Burton's Batman was the greatest, let's just say ... BATDANCE
By the way, I wonder if we'll get to hear any henchmen by Stalin vs Predator	Aug 17th, 2007 09:00:00 AM
asking Bale "Oi, whehh ahh yeh?" I would have thought there'd be a deficiency of English henchmen from East End in the clearly North American Gotham City, but hey, perhaps they were imported in all those crates that filled Nolan's first movie.

A question re: Joker Declaring He'll Fuck Batman's Aunt by Gwai L0	Aug 17th, 2007 09:08:22 AM
Hello, I have the entire television run of the brazilian 60' sshow in question, on 1/8 inch archival magnetic tape, which I run through a modified casette-head reader hooked up to a schoolroom overhead projector. It is a very expensive set up and generates a lot of heat, and I have no air conditioning, so I don't want to watch THE WHOLE THING. So, does anyone know off-hand about where in the brazilian TV series... season, episode, time within episode... The Joker declares that He Doesn't Care, He Is Going To Fuck Batman's Aunt? I've looked all over the internet and cannot find this information anywhere. Is it even in there? Thanks so much in advance...
I was referring to Prince's Batdance by BringingSexyBack	Aug 17th, 2007 09:13:01 AM

While I've got you on the line, another piece of information I can't seem to find anywhere is how much Cho Seung Hui weighed at the time of his death. In pounds, ounces, grams, whatever... someone must have this information, I wish they'd share it! Thanks in advance.

batman begins had music, not score, batman had themes, not a theme. elfman's theme was one motif repeated throughout the whole movie, begins had molossus(the most badass hero theme ever), vespertillio the inspirational one, myotis which had the falling theme, and the bat flappings. that's called genius scoring, because it's music, not prancy little jingles. this is the type of stuff you could listen to in your car just like a neurosis cd.

If its the real Batman It looks like he's wearing greyish cloth pants without armor(exept for a codpiece). Seriously zoom in on his legs. Did I miss something?
I see your view Messi... by theycallmemrglass	Aug 17th, 2007 10:09:26 AM
And sort of agree - just I didnt differentiate between motif, score, theme and incidental music. Zimmer is a great composer but I felt he did not punctuate the action scenes enough and lacked a batman character "motif?" should I say? Thats all but the rest of scenes like Bruce Waynes and the bats in the cave were done well. I'm sure Zimmer will deliver a better complete "score?" this time round!
Peter Petrelli would be a by Odametal	Aug 17th, 2007 10:13:57 AM
Peter Petrelli would be a good Nightwing. And Nolan just have the excuse for him on this movie. There is a lot of vigilantes around Gotham cause of Batdude. Nightwing could be one of them, but later Bruce realize his potential and give him some of his toys. Hey, if you have someone that could actually help you s9metimes on your little war on crime, why not use it? If he would be introduced as someone that helps Wayne, but has his own motives and a life, it could work really well.
Zimmer by Draculasaurus	Aug 17th, 2007 10:16:59 AM
Zimmer said in an interview that he had worked up a really triumphant hero theme, but he didn't feel that Batman had "earned" it yet. So in Batman Begins he only hinted at it.

On the Joker by stones_throw	Aug 17th, 2007 10:33:09 AM
Nolan has really got it wrong. The Joker's not just a psycho in makeup, he's a killer clown. He can't stop the crazy, demented, infuriating Joker persona, nor can he switch off his creepy appearance. Wipe off Ledger's makeup and you've just got a nut (the character that is). The Joker's more than that.

I have 18 years of comparing Nicholson's Joker to the comic-book Joker and horrible memories of Burton's vision of Catwoman and the Penguin telling my gut to hold off judgement til AFTER I actually view The Dark Knight.

Okay, the batsuit looks too Japanese or whatever, fair enough. But based on a couple shots of the joker... look how greasy his hair is, he looks like he's been through hell! Who knows how he did or didn't look when he left Marc Levin's underground bunker in the morning, maybe these shots are from after a terrible ordeal. I am not one of these people who go "DON'T JUDGE IT UNTIL YOU'VE PAID TEN DOLLARS TO SEE IT IN A THEATER," but I think it's a little early for complaining that the joker's make-up is messed-up. The batsuit changes and evolves, I guarantee you the Joker's look will change over the course of the movie too... esp. the sides of his mouth.

Robin by oisin5199	Aug 17th, 2007 12:19:42 PM
I could see how down the line, you could reintroduce Robin and it might work. Most people's problem is that they can't wipe away the memory of Schumacher's 2 shitfests. If you approached it as Batman starting to need some help and circumstances (parents' death) which remind him of his own situation prompts him to take this kid under his wing and train him, but he actually struggles with being a mentor and a surrogate parent and it's actually written as good drama - Wayne's first attempt to really reach out to another human being and start a family of sorts. It could work. And take out absolutely any camp or trace of homoeroticism, make it nothing like the old tv series or Schumacher's shit, and there you have it. Hell, even the Highlander series managed to get some aspects of that right. The Duncan/Richie relationship and the struggles between the two were actually the Batman/Robin story that should have been.

What if those multiple "Batmen" are Scarecrow's gang? by RyanMurray	Aug 17th, 2007 01:14:40 PM
I mean, they could set it up perfectly. Wayne always had to import his costume pieces in bulk, except for the main Nomec bodysuit. The cowl and ears and what not were all imported. Scarecrow (familiar with the docks already) finds and hijacks a Wayne Enterprises ship, and starts masquerading his gang around Gotham as Batman. Hence the silly looking body armor on some of them, not having that Nomec suit. Or that's what The Joker does, and tries to out Wayne as Batman. Etc, etc. You never know. :)
krack by Mr. Nice Gaius	Aug 17th, 2007 01:32:05 PM
First of all, I don't know where you're getting your demographic figures from but that's neither here nor there. Most filmgoers (usually the younger set) will go see a movie more than once if that movie delivers. And repeat business is often the lifeblood of genre and "experience" films. Fair enough. However, what I was refering to with "Gen-X sensibilities" is the portrayal or representation of the Joker over the last 20 years. There is a preconceived notion of how the Joker is supposed to look and behave that doesn't always jibe with what's come before. Most people of a certain age group base their perception of the Joker on Burton's BATMAN and certain graphic novels (primarily THE KILLING JOKE). Yet the original Joker was a mass-murderer who just happened to have a clownish appearance. It wasn't until the Golden Age and the 70's that the depravity of his insanity was explored. This is a guy who is supposed to be completey amoral = everything is funny to him because nothing is of consequence. He kills for the joy of it. And when you have that sort of flick-o-the-switch hyper-insanity, it's truly terrifying. You can play it up for yucks (like Nicholson) or you can shoot for something a little darker and psychologically disturbing. As for Ledger's Joker being nothing more than a common thief, I think you are underestimating the aesthetic. Cause I find it highly unlikely that Nolan & Co. (in the midst of Ledger's performance) would choose to ignore the twisted brilliance of the Joker's criminal mind. And let's not forget that we are probably witnessing the "birth" of the Joker in TDK much like we witnessed the emergence of Batman in BB. These characters will be evolving.

Meh... by G-Tron 3000	Aug 17th, 2007 02:58:58 PM
Batman's new armor looks FUUUUGLY! Then again, my favorite look was still from the first Burton movie, back when Michael Keaton couldn't move his neck. =) I liked that one was because it had a sculptural quality, as if a gargoyle came alive, and it played well into that whole theatrical thing, as well as being more practical than dodging bullets in your tights (which was the standard back then). The Begins suit was about on the same level as the Returns suit. Neither of them were as cool as the original, but I didn't hate them. They seemed practical enough without totally moving away from the idea of theatricality. This latest suit is just poorly designed. Yeah, I guess it's the most practical of the bunch- kinda looks like some military outfit/outdoor climbing gear kinda thing, but it's totally lost any sense of fun or elegance. It looks ridiculously blocky and rubbery. It kind of reminds me of a horrible variant action figures. I'm also a bit worried about the number of things going on in this movie... The Joker deserves his own movie, but we've also got Two Face and this whole multiple Batman thing going on. Hopefully Nolan can pull that off, as I trust his skills as a storyteller than as a visual stylist. But man, that suit's ugly.

You got it all wrong. Gaius got it all right. Gold Star for Gaius. I happen to think the joker looks terrific in the pics so far. Both when he is all tidy and when he is fucked up looking. He looks more menacing and creepier all fucked up. He's fuckin' crazy. It works. Works like the Killing Joke and Arkham Asylum (which shows the most fucked up looking Joker ever) had to do their best to shed a lot of the camp and silliness from the character, especially after the TV series influenced some of the story lines. I don't care if the Joker is just a pickpocket in this flick, as long as he is the murderous fucked up Joker acting with depravity and wonton abandon, then we have struck gold. He is the antithesis of Batman. One tries to restore order, the other creates anarky. He is not a "supervillian" and I don't think he has ever been referred to as a "supervillian". He is part of Batman's rogue's gallery of villians. I always loved the fact that a the best villian for Batman, who has no superpowers, was a villian that did not have them either in the form of the Joker. Demystifying Ras Al Ghul (shedding his great age and the Lazarus Pit) served the first film very well. Stripping the Joker down to his elements, that he is not a predictable villian because he is so demented makes him the perfect nemesis for Batman and even other villians. Would the Gotham parade scene from the first Burton film really work in this movie?
to reiterate by Rickey Henderson	Aug 17th, 2007 03:24:02 PM
I'd trust Roman Polanski to direct a "Teen Titans" film before I trusted Nolan with the Batman franchise.
Interesting they are still up at CHUD... by new alien	Aug 17th, 2007 03:35:02 PM
The pictures that once were here. After looking at them I am not sure about this film. The first one was okay to me. I liked some of the mood and characters. I still just am not totally into the BAT suit. I still think it should be a bit more streamlined and a touch closer to the comic. It always seems clumsy looking to me. I do think with Nolan trying to stick these BATMAN films into such a real type world it can cause more problems for the feel of the story. The Joker I am still not sure about either. I wish he had a cleaner look and with the look it doesn't have to be overexplained why he has a clown look 24/7. I do feel that if the fantasy elements have to be over explained in these films they seem to lose something. But I will check it out and then I can see if this all ties together well.

White make-up = no lazarus pit by nicegoogly	Aug 17th, 2007 04:39:11 PM
No one had a total shitfit over that in the first movie. As long as he physically resembles the Joker and, more importantly, acts like the fuckin' Joker, I don't fuckin' care if Halle Berry used her pussy lips to apply it to Ledger's face (I certainly would like it applied to my face that way, though). I am a purist, but I am reasonable. Just remember, Nicholson's smile, I thought, was also part of the repair job on his face from the plastic surgeon in the Burton film after he got shot in the face. That is not exactly the true story behind Joker's grin, yet through the whole fuckin' movie, a gas creates the same exact effect. Burton tried to explain the bleached skin and the green hair through chemicals and the smile through the shot in the face (more like a deflected bullet from Batman) and then resorted to the chemical causing it for all the laughing gas victims. They fucked that one up. I am assuming if Ledger gets shot in the face in the Dark Knight, it was by Jake Gyllenhall.

sort of spoilerish but by kafka07	Aug 17th, 2007 06:14:20 PM
Some folks have had concerns that the new images are very spoilerish, and I guess they are a bit, but not terribly so. If this is WB's strategy to release these then it is yet more shrewd marketing on their part. This morsel is making everyone drool, but they're still with-holding the main course (as they should). I've been wondering how this movie will look, and these pics give me a lot of assurance.
C Legion and Brown Films by Ace of Wands	Aug 17th, 2007 06:47:31 PM
Chris Nolan has a dull colour palette?. Have you even seen The Prestige, with it's rich capture of tones?. Visually it encapsulated the world of "Victorian" magicians. Brown? I remember Nolan using those tones- sepia for me- in Batman Begins but it was done to represent the feel of the Narrows and the environment there around. Tell me where else in that film that that colour dominated or even appeared as a motiff?. Or even in any of his other films. It seems to me that Nolan actually has an extensive and well judged palette and employs it to good effect on all his films- breathtaking scenery footage in Insomnia, and nary a "brown" in sight. Personally I thank whatever Comic Gods there may be that a director of such intelligence and ability and artistic understanding has decide to take on the subject of The Batman- and ground it in some sort of relative realism.
worst ever by LarryTheCableGuy	Aug 17th, 2007 07:35:20 PM
might look ok when the product is finished, but than again maybe it won't. maybe these joker pics are fake to hide the real awesome joker. or maybe this movie has joker as the secondary charactor and in part 3 he becomes the white skinned joker for real. i think if they made him up to look like the ral joker, and cut the sloppy makeup job and curly unkempt hair he'd be really good as the charactor.
"I Trust Nolan"... by TheGhostWhoLurks	Aug 17th, 2007 08:17:13 PM
Is the new version of whistling past the graveyard. Almost nothing I've seen of Heath Ledger's past performances or the actual pictures we've seen of him as The Joker give me any confidence that he should have even been considered to be cast in this iconic role.
Robin should be a kid by INWOsuxRED	Aug 17th, 2007 08:40:04 PM
like the kid from the cartoon. Knowing that Bruce Wayne would recklessly endanger children for his crusade tells me much about the character, but I don't want him running around with boys in their awkward teens. When Robin gets old enough, he should go away to school and never be heard from again...unless he is annoying, then he should die. And if he is a she, he should grow up to be catwoman on rollerskates.

filmgenius by caninedevotion	Aug 18th, 2007 01:42:20 AM
I'm not surprised you were accused of being condescending as your name alone is incredibly pompous and you write like a total dick. None of us have heard of FILM NOIR? Fuck you. Honestly. Also, BATMAN is no more childsplay than infamous, respected characters like Sherlock Holmes. The film (Batman Begins) is no less film-noir than Bladerunner or Chinatown (neither or those were completely purist either.) Commenting on The Dark Knight based on stills is silly, but not nearly as ridiculous as your statement: "i feel as though i have a right to educate all who are on this forum because i am he who has been an individual fortunate enough to be educated in film school" Who are you? James Lipton? You dumb douche. You're not the only person who knows how to read books and watch films, fuckwit. Furthermore, paying for a degree doesn't entitle you to the mantle of assholery you are claiming here. "Childrensplay"?!??! I'll beat you to death with a copy of The Dark Knight Returns. Why don't you go suck your professor's dick and go bitch to another crowd in a thinly-veiled attempt to exercise your angst at being a moron that probably couldn't make a film to save his life. Boo fucking hoo. You know nothing more than a whole lot of the guys on here who aren't nearly as pompous or as full of shit as you. Most likely because they did not waste 60,000 dollars on film school only to become a failure who talks big to fanboys.

Krack by nicegoogly	Aug 18th, 2007 07:05:12 AM
About Burton fucking it up...I was referring to the plastic surgery part. If he was going to commit to the chemicals causing the bleached skin and green hair and making him a little more nuts than he already was, why not have it create his distorted smile? Especially since a chemical is introduced later that caused a toxic effect in other people. I think one issue that brings a lot of debate is that we are talking about characters that are over sixty years old and have been revamped numerous times in the comic books alone, let alone by television, cartoons and films. My opinion is centered towards the setting you have established in the first film is why the Joker should be like this in this film. It works with that Nolan's concept of demystifying some of what goes on in Batman. It makes the story more acceptable to the mainstream, I feel, and probably is easier to translate something a little more grounded to the screen. I do respectfully disagree that the choice for Joker is for emo fanboys. I don't see this as motivation for a director like Nolan. Mind you, I am not saying that Ledger is effective as the Joker or the Joker's origin and behavior is exactly what Gaius and I say it is going to be. It would appear that way, but it could still fail miserably. I am a fan, but not a fanboy so I won't go saying this is the shit when it is a year from release. I hope it will be great and the pics have me excited, but you just don't know. Just remember, alot of people were upset with Nolan's desire to not do Miller's Year One and he pulled off an excellent film. Also remember what the comic book god Miller wanted to do with the Batman Begins when Arnofsky was going to direct it, Bruce Wayne was homeless, the Batmobile was a Lincoln Continental and Alfred was a large black mechanic. This is funny since Sin City and 300 were faithful adaptations of his works, he would be willing to shit on Batman. The guy created the beginning and end for Batman with Year One and The Dark Knight Returns. The Goblin costume from Spiderman, I agree with what has been said for years, it looked like Spidey was fighting the green power ranger. However, it fit into the film and the way the story was told for Osborne/Golbin's origins. This practical approach is what keeps these movies mainstream I think.

Why not go ahead and make those sketches and post 'em? As much as I hated the first four and as much as I liked Begins, they've still never gotten the character's visual presentation right. (It is a man in a bat costume, though, and it's gotta be tricky to do that without it looking silly.) Anyway, if you think you know how it should be done, I'd be curious to see it.

My only problem is with the lighting. by smackfu	Aug 18th, 2007 01:19:58 PM
When you see the suit in the light of day, it just looks horrible, and so far this film looks very brightly-lit. When dealing with this stuff, the lighting should be obscuring what looks bad, and highlighting what looks good, and so far it looks like Nolan's lighting man favors the ambiance of a hospital waiting room's florescent flood lighting.
I made sure I read the whole talkback... by JeremiahTheProphet	Aug 18th, 2007 03:03:33 PM
... before I posted. So these came from Brazil, eh? Good pussy down there. I really kinda dig the new Joker look. The thing you have to realize is that they have already done the Joker in all of his bleached-skin glory in a lot of different takes already. Hell, just look at what they did to him in "The Batman" to make him more Gen-X savvy. Monkey Fu Joker? Kiss my dick! I think it would be interesting to have the Joker in face paint in this one and have him all bleach-skinned in the third one. Nolan seams to like doing that, so I wouldn't put it past him. But, other than that, I'm pretty okay with it so far. May the spirit of TOTAL FUCKING DESTRUCTION be with you!
Christian Bale by Ray Gamma	Aug 18th, 2007 04:22:39 PM
I've seen 'Batman Begins' twice, and though I'm not even really a fan of 'Batman' or indeed superhero movies as a genre, I have to say that 'Batman Begins' is a fucking tremendous movie, and that Christian Bale was a genius bit of casting. His scene where he goes to the party and plays up his 'playboy' persona, that scene alone proves what a talent he is, it's full of great little subtle touches. Bale will be making future classics in other genres after these, just wait and see.

Knot Enough Knight by sirbroiler	Aug 18th, 2007 07:13:35 PM
First off - so many of these pictures are light of day, or in bright rooms. Where's the darkness that set such a great tone for the first movie? Also, not a big fan of the "made-up" Joker. The origin of Joker in every comic version is tied directly to the permanence of the chemically altered smile and skin. It's what pushes an already evil over the brink of insanity. It's a disappointing omission in my opinion. Still holding faith in Nolan - but won't be convinced until I see the movie on the screen.

what appears to be a radical departure in the origins of The Joker, ie no silly chemical incident, might improve on and be better than the "cannon" comic book story. i have no issues whatsoever with The Joker being just a regular psychopath who happens to paint and dress like The Joker. well done, Mr Nolan, you have not made a bad film yet and i would suggest with The Dark Knight you are not going to be making a bad film in any hurry.

Just sayin
These are production stills NOT SCREEN CAPS by kolley kibber	Aug 19th, 2007 03:58:12 PM
Which is important with regards to the various complaints about the brightness and 'pop' quality of the images. Chris Nolan and his long serving cinematographer Wally Pfister have shot all their films together in the 1:2.35 aspect ratio and certainly since Batman Begins have shot with anamorphic lenses (as opposed to Super 35mm which can be framed for the same aspect ratio but which uses spherical lenses). There are several ways to distinguish whether an image has been captured spherically or anamorphically but one of the certain traits is in how out of focus highlights are rendered - typically in backgrounds. Case in point would be the mid shot of Batman above a Chicago skyline at night. Note that in the center of the image the street and car lights on the road below are distinctly circular. These out of focus highlights are called 'boke' (pronounced Bow-Kay). This is indisputable evidence that the shot was taken with a spherical lens and is NOT a screen cap' from production footage. If the image had been captured with an anamorphic lens the boke would be vertically orientated ellipses. The boke towards the bottom left edge of the frame appear to pertain towards the elliptical (though in the wrong orientation) though this is merely a function of light entering the iris ('pupil') of the lens at a more acute angle than at the center of the image - a common abberration associated with wider lenses. Another function of anamorphic lenses, as distinct from spherical lenses, is that they require considerably more light to perform properly. Typically they will shoot at f2.8/f4 whereas a spherical lens will happily provide an optimum image at f1.4/f2. Put simply one needs roughly double the amount of light to shoot with anamorphic lenses. This would account for why the majority of the stills appear to be very bright and high key and also why an entirely backlit, translucent drop ceiling would have been incorporated into the set design. It's lit for anamorphic shooting but seen in the production photos at a much higher light level than would have been recorded on film. The photos mimic screen cap's because the job of a set photographer is to shoot from as close as possible to the A camera position. They rarely, if at all, emulate the filtration or exposure levels of the film camera though because their purpose is for publicity use and studio publicity departments want bright, clear photos that can be manipulated at a later date for a variety of purposes.
I hope this movie is good... by vezner2007	Aug 19th, 2007 07:55:12 PM
because after Batman Begins, I have very high expectations. I will reserve judgment of the film until after I see it in the theaters. So far, I'm not necessarily impressed with what I've seen and heard. However time will tell.
You know what? by JeremiahTheProphet	Aug 19th, 2007 10:18:04 PM
Upon reviewing the original 1989 "Batman", I realized that I really don't like it that much. I mean, there are some good parts, but I don't really like it as a Batman film. Batman gets beatup a lot and is out in the open way too much. Actually I prefer the second one to the first one, mainly due to Michelle Pfieffer in skin-tight lycra. Man, what I'd let her due to me with that whip... Or any girl in a catsuit, actually. How about some of that Brazillian pussy dressed as a pussy?
