With the executed, the past tense actually 'hanged' by Sepulchrave	Aug 29th, 2007 12:57:52 AM
...but it ruins your penis joke. Sorry. This looks like a fabulous joke courtesy of Mr Ledger.

Indy 4 will PWN this film by thealmightybagel	Aug 29th, 2007 01:00:06 AM
By far more anticipated by the general public than a new Batman film.
He's not being hanged. by MC-909	Aug 29th, 2007 01:03:12 AM
That's just his new grappling hook.

DARK KNIGHT rising. by LoneGun	Aug 29th, 2007 01:06:19 AM
I'm just about at the point where I can't bear to see any other possible spoilers for this one, but it's damn hard to resist peeking. This film has got me so hyped. I don't care about the rest of 2007, I want July 2008 right now!
Uhhh....... by Midol Boy	Aug 29th, 2007 01:13:23 AM
Yeah. And I actually thought it was about his penis. I'm so disappointed.
OK, so..... by closeencounter	Aug 29th, 2007 01:13:56 AM
How would Harry know if the Dark Knight is hung.....OOHHH, you mean THAT hung!!! Sorry.

That's why he needs the costume, and the gadgets.
This Film Is All Over by THE KNIGHT	Aug 29th, 2007 01:44:18 AM
It's hard to make out the beats of the story by trying to cut and paste set reports together. All I ask is that nolan make it EPIC!
Seems to fit in with... by Pawprint	Aug 29th, 2007 01:50:29 AM
The 'multiple fake Batmen' storyline I have been hearing about.
Doig a piss poor job of keeping this movie under wraps, by The Rondo Hatton Blues Explosion	Aug 29th, 2007 01:51:10 AM
aren't they?
"Hard as a Rock"... "Shooting off Early"?! by Pawprint	Aug 29th, 2007 02:02:36 AM
I'm getting a little stiff meself with all this filthy talk! Agreed with Rondo - seeing as how all details of this film were supposed to be a big secret, many cats have escaped from the bag. I don't even know why the bothered with the fake "Rory's First Kiss" title, as that was blown WELL early..
What the fuck is this supposed to be? by Doc_Strange	Aug 29th, 2007 02:16:30 AM
Seriously is this part of the movie or did someone just randomly hang a dude in a Batsuit? Exactly why should I care about this? More answers please.
Maybe Louie the Lilac is behind this ... by Boris Baddenov	Aug 29th, 2007 02:23:56 AM
Becuz it doesn't look like something Colonel Gumm would do.
Look at the Suit! by BenFerris	Aug 29th, 2007 02:59:07 AM
Thats the suit from the first movie. I can tell from the mask's neck piece. Maybe this explains why he gets a new suit.

I don't know by boogy110	Aug 29th, 2007 03:29:53 AM
I know this movie will be kick ass, but I'm kinda skepticle on the Joker. Seeing those pics on him that WB demanded AICN take down, well the joker looks kinda weak.
owen wilson is playing batman? by Basehead	Aug 29th, 2007 03:31:43 AM

Is that not Bruce Wayne in by damo666	Aug 29th, 2007 03:34:39 AM
Is that not Bruce Wayne in the bottom right corner????.. abit blurry but thats how he normally stands with hands in pockets
Yes, I have nothing on him by DirkD13"	Aug 29th, 2007 03:36:30 AM
Except for my 13 inch cock, haha! Bet Batman doesn't have one of those on his utility belt!!
OLD by UMAGA	Aug 29th, 2007 04:12:27 AM
So I guess in a month or so you'll get to the pics of Joker interrupting the funeral disguised as a cop? Or the hospital they're blowing up? The suit he is wearing is the same as one of the fake Batmans sitting in one of the leaked pics.
And the footage of the SWAT team.. by UMAGA	Aug 29th, 2007 04:13:46 AM
Flying out the windows (caused by The Joker apparently)?
The Dark Knight by DuncanHines	Aug 29th, 2007 04:14:49 AM
Is going to kick so much ass its feet ar going to be completely covered in fanboy and naysayer shit for the entire time of its stay in theaters.
Thanks, S-chrave by Mister Man	Aug 29th, 2007 04:21:42 AM
"Pictures are hung, people are hanged." Now if only they have a phrase for "there, their and they're," being that you tweeners rarely get it correct.
looks like a Joker prank to me... by couP	Aug 29th, 2007 04:52:42 AM
and nothing else. basehead, not cool dude!
Batman, they said you was hung! by raw_bean	Aug 29th, 2007 05:08:34 AM
Baby, they was right!
Nice one Basehead by masteryoda007	Aug 29th, 2007 05:19:42 AM
You ahd me in stitches with that one, classic.
It's one of the fake Buttmen (as if someone didn't know by JackPumpkinhead	Aug 29th, 2007 05:23:05 AM
The leaked pics showed a bunch of them sitting together, including the guy with the waffle chest. Who, as far as I can recall, is the one in this photo, too.
Bruce Wayne in picture? by masteryoda007	Aug 29th, 2007 05:23:42 AM
Well done Damo66 it does indeed look like the new skinny Bruce in the picture. That was a very good spot on your behalf, you been eating your carrots?
Batman always was a bit tense.. by buffywrestling	Aug 29th, 2007 05:38:10 AM
High strung, actually.
I sincerley doubt thats Batman theyre hanging by RockLobster800	Aug 29th, 2007 05:44:17 AM
Its most likely a dummy in a batsuit-an effigy, a symbol of Gotham's hatred for the "flying rodent", most likely orchestrateed through the fake batmen thing which in turn was created by either Maroni or the Joker. And for those saying that the fake Batmen's costumes look too much like Bat's real one and keep crying "oh, where did they get the time to order all the parts", please dont be so thick. They DONT look THAT much like Bats, seeing as you can tell theyre fake! and plus, if your city has its own vigilante, is it not possible that some company might mass produce cheap replicas for parties, kids, etc-like, I dunno,in real life when a new Batman film comes out! Plus if theres a gangster behind this, he has the money to create cheap rip off suits anyway.....also to end my rant-The Joker=he looks good! I was skeptical about Ledger, I didnt like the idea that he was only wearing makeup, but when I heard the voice and saw those photos, I thought "well Nolan has fufilled his promise-he's different but familiar"....look at his clothes-pure Joker. Look at that look on Ledgers face-he looks like a messed up loon! He sounds the part, he looks like a nutjob, and while theres more to Joker than that, I like what Im seeing so far.....
Joker's fault by godhelpus	Aug 29th, 2007 07:31:51 AM
he framed Batman and now the public is mad, its a dummy of batman not batman
Anybody else notice the Indiana Jones/Batman connect??? by mtoppi1975	Aug 29th, 2007 07:45:31 AM
I recall the last time Indiana Jones was out (Last Crusade) that the was a Batman film with the Joker in it. I think there was also a Lethal Weapon film that summer, too - thankfully, we won't have to deal with that in 2008, though!
yeah mtoppi1975... by just pillow talk	Aug 29th, 2007 07:56:00 AM
Someone else mentioned that in a previous talkback. I think we're just in a vicious circle and will always get the same movies over and over again. Though with these two, I definitely don't mind so much.
The Living Daylight by sirbroiler	Aug 29th, 2007 08:07:08 AM
Still giving me bad feelings that so much of this shoot is taking place in broad daylight!!! Dark Knight my ass!
Brooks Was Here by uss cygnus	Aug 29th, 2007 08:30:56 AM
I don't think they'll put up much of a fuss...not for an old bat like me.
PLANT by macdaddy88	Aug 29th, 2007 08:58:15 AM
I can't believe all they managed to get was one "grainy" photo. I am starting to see the reviews here are a mixture of actual fans and reviewers, but it also seems like a great place for studios to plant "secret" or "private" screenings with "spoilers". The "Cloverfield" project will be hyped more than Superbad.
It will look better once they orange it up by Crimson Dynamo	Aug 29th, 2007 09:04:19 AM
Is Nolan going to shoot this one thru a butterscotch wrapper too?
I think that's actually a picture of... by Mr. Nice Gaius	Aug 29th, 2007 09:33:09 AM

Wow, I can't believe he got his pic posted on here...
Sheesh, I knew Owen Wilson wanted to play Batman... by Stalin vs Predator	Aug 29th, 2007 10:49:35 AM
But I thought he got over it already. Jeez!
Rob Zombie's Batman Begins... by spud mcspud	Aug 29th, 2007 10:53:22 AM
Is Batman played by a black dude? Zombie could cast Bill Moseley and Sid Haig as KKK leaders. Hell, Sheri Moon Zombie could doance on his corpse. It's a tender tale of the first black superhero, murdered by hillbilly redneck psychos who we're then supposed to sympathise with. Fuck Rob Zombie! Where's Chris Nolan's HALLOWE'EN???? (Bale as Loomis...)
Don't read anything into that, by the way... by spud mcspud	Aug 29th, 2007 10:55:16 AM
I know irony doesn't go over well on AICN message boards. But if Rob Zombie ever did a Batman movie... You know I'm right.
Damn if he STILL doesn't look Bad ass by TheGreenStyle	Aug 29th, 2007 12:03:59 PM
dead hanging from a rope.
very weird by kafka07	Aug 29th, 2007 12:08:29 PM
I'm trying to imagine how this could fit into their story. Is this hung batman a bat-dummy? Or is it supposed to be one of the batmen? How did his head not pop off from being hung from a sky scraper? I need to know.
Morgan Freeman Confirmed by XXVIII	Aug 29th, 2007 12:11:14 PM
Just read his interview over at SHH. I hadn't seen this anywhere else.
Old News. Really Old News. by Magunga	Aug 29th, 2007 12:17:31 PM
Also, for those who've mentioned that this is all being filmed in the bright light of day, calm down. First, in this incarnation of Batman there are both nights AND days, unlike Burton's movies. Second, it's common to film night scenes during the day and fix it up in editing. Think about it; it makes sense from a filmmaker's perspective.
"Quickly, Alfred! My Bat-Autoerotic Asphyxiation Suit!" by Lord Haw Haw	Aug 29th, 2007 12:26:16 PM
And the people on the business end of "the" Batman probably ought to start backing up if they know what's good for them!
I thought this was supposed to be about his cod piece? by The Dum Guy	Aug 29th, 2007 01:21:00 PM
I hope next years round of blockbusters makes up for this years.
Dark Victory-esque by BenIdom	Aug 29th, 2007 01:21:12 PM
Seeing him on the hangmans noose reminds me of when there was an attempt to hang Batman only he had the reinforced neck brace.
Batman's really hung up about what to do in this flick by TallBoy66	Aug 29th, 2007 01:28:19 PM
Maybe all the people out there are a hung jury. Mock trail with J. Rienhold.

Should the title not be... by loafroaster	Aug 29th, 2007 01:59:05 PM
..."So hung", rather than "hung so"? Sorry to be pedantic, but it confused me...

You didn't hear that the climax of DKR occurs in bricktown? Joker and Bats fight on top of Toby Keith's Bar and Grill

you IDIOT!!!! YOU made me, remember? by Doc_Strange	Aug 29th, 2007 10:24:17 PM
You dropped me into that vat of chemicals. That wasn't easy to get over. And don't think that I didn't try..... Funniest line from Batman. I still prefer Burton's.

Hailed be Burton, praised be Keaton.
It's actually either 'hung', or 'hanged'. by Flim_	Aug 30th, 2007 12:07:40 PM
Both are correct. Anyone who tells you that the usage of a word in English is 'incorrect' or 'wrong' is a grammar Nazi, and doesn't know better (and also hasn't checked their credible grammatical sources). English is defined by the people who speak it, not the other way around.
