people laugh at me, but i liked the last one against mr freeze, poison ivy, and bane. batman 3 was my least favorite, followed by 2. batman, batman 4, batman 2, batman 3, is how i like em. this guy is a weird choice for bruce wayne i think. ---

They’ll blow it. It won’t be dark enough. The first two weren’t either IMO. Blade/II were close to the kind of darkness I would want. Nolan is a great choice but he’ll be overrun by the producers/studio for blockbuster rating concessions to whatever time of year it’ll be released!!! Booooo! Otherwise, nice idea. edit: Oh yeah, except Christian Bale sucks ass. He can’t act, and if you say he can watch that thing with the Gun Kata in it (don’t remember the title: saw it in Japan). ---

Hmm, the most obvious wank of 1984 combined with the delirium of Brazil but the tongue had slipped out of its cheek… actually so did I, but in spite of Bale, not because of him. The computer desk I’m typing on has a larger range of expression. ---

I don’t know why, they also fascinated me even moreso than the big brawls at the end. It does look to be good enough to erase the stain that Joel Schumacher left on the Batman universe. ---

A while back while at a local convention (I get in for free) I stumbled accross a “suprise” Q&A with Christan Bale. His take on The BATMAN was very promising. Afterwards we saw a 10 minute preview of the film which ROCKED. As I understand, the BATMAN costume won’t even appear until somewhere in the second act. Bale talked a bit about the training involved for the fight sequences discribing the process he learned and how that “fighting style” was something pulled together by the Stunt Guy who trained with some military people in Israel as well as some Brazilian Jujitsu which wasn’t really used in the movie. He went further to express how his biggest honor in being BATMAN was the opportunity to DRIVE THE BATMOBILE!!! He also said that the mask was extremly painful to wear and would give him extreme headaches after about 20 minutes. Rather than let the costume people remove it durring breaks he instead used that discomfort to fuel his performance. He shared a glimpse of that “intensity” while discribing the situation and he sold it. I guess that he’ll deliver the most “legit” performance of BATMAN based more on the graphic novels & comics he’s read rather than trying to emulate any other actors’ attempts. He’s also signed on for 3 films which look to retell the origins of two-face as well as the JOKER. it could ROCK. ---

If he fux this move up, I will find him and pull a Bane on his sorry ass. If he makes this movie not-suck, then I will begrudgingly say “cool.” If they fux up Two-Face/Harvey Dent into a Tommy Lee Jones clone-thing, I will find all involved and sue them. Or beat them with tire irons. If they fux up Joker - make him kill Batman’s parents, make him actually have a real name, I will kill their goldfish. ---
