The Batman Begins Series of Movies

[SaberBlade]

forever wasnt a complete travesty i thought it was alrite just nowhere near the standard of the tim burton batman films

If they had made Two-Face and Riddler more serious characters, then I think it could have been better.

Thanks, Artha, for posting the link.

Last summer, Pyewackett and I were extras on this movie. The first day, we did for charity, then they asked us back. I looked like crazy for us in the crowd scenes; it was too distant and fast, but we are there. I still have hopes the scene where I got to duck bullets and run, makes it in. I did recognize many extras with which we worked.

After we were released from filming, I rushed to my car and drove it to meet some Gateworld friends at the Chicago Stargate convention.

I'm pleased to see the film looks gorgeous. It looks cool and fallish, but it was actually hot and steamy, at least in those scenes in front of the Chicago Board of Trade building (the memorial service with all the police). We were sweltering in our coats and our feet were killing us from standing for hours. At one point Pyewackett became ill from the heat and had to leave.

She recovered and worked 2 or 3 more days. We were pedestrians around a great chase scene, too.

If Indiana Jones gets a thread so should one of the other highly anticipated films of 2008. Here we can speculate and talk about the trailer, the prologue with the Joker that was released in IMAX in front of I Am Legend, the cast (Christian Bale, Heath Ledger, Aaron Eckhart, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Gary Oldman, etc.), the characters (Bruce Wayne/Batman, The Joker, Harvey Dent, Rachel Dawes, Jim Gordon, etc.), stills from the film that have been released, and the awesome viral promotion campaign.

Can this movie surpass the greatness of Begins? Is it a good thing that Katie Holmes isn't coming back? Will the Joker kick serious ass or is Ledger not the the right guy for the job? What will happen to Harvey Dent and will it happen this movie or next? Are Harvey and Rachel dating? Who is Mike Engel? Do you think the new suit looks cool or do you miss the old one? Will Nolan come back to direct a third Batman installment?

Let's discuss all these question and more as we wait for this summer blockbuster to be release in theaters July 18th, 2008. I've been a Batman fan since I was a kid and I think this will be the best Batman film we've seen.

Batman Begins was awesome. I can't wait for this sequel. I am a little unsure about the joker though. Seems like he might be a bit over the top...

[GatetheWay]

I saw the first six minutes of the film (the prologue) with the Joker when I saw I Am Legend (good movie) on IMAX and I thought he was really quite creepy and entertaining. Even though he was in the entire thing I wish I'd seen more of him as himself. But the guy just reeks psycho.

I am definitely looking forward to this movie. I loved Batman Begins, and am very confident that this one will be even better. I can't wait to see more of the Joker.

I think there's a thread on this already:

but that's ok. Yeah this is one of the few movies I'm really looking forward to this year, looks awesome.

[GatetheWay]

I figured that was about the trailer, while this one was about the entire movie.... yeahokay I wanted to make a Dark Knight thread, so there.

[P-90_177]

to me the idea of heath ledger as the joker is so porposterous that it's bound to be incredible.

LOL. NOT!

I expect we'll be recognizable in the film somewhere, most likely in the car chase/crash scene. We are definitely in the trailer, but teeny-tiny. We know we are there, but even we can't see ourselves. It's the overhead scene. I'm somewhere in the Gotham police scattering scene, too...I think. I know I was there!

[GatetheWay]

Believe me. You will definitely not even think of Heath Ledger when you see the Joker. I can't believe he's the same guy. It's amazing he went from this to this. Grant it A Knight's Tale was seven years ago but it's still pretty cool.

[Steve_the_Wraith]

I'm iffy about Heath Ledger but the more I see him the less I worry

I'm very happy about the replacement of Katie Holme's, to me she's a very typecast actress to the point characters she plays seem to come off a clichés

In that case, i'm sure your contribution was excellent (even though i don't see you, lol).

I was just re-watching, "Batman Begins". If you live in Chicago, it can really freak you out, especially the scene where the El train plunges off the tracks.
