At least it's not December 2012,

Nolan coming back to direct, I'm glad their not rushing into it. Will be tough to top tdk but Nolan is pretty good

his new movie inception comes out in July and it looks interesting

Any word on the star villain? Probably safe to say at least Two-Face given how Harvey Dent went out in the last film...

Was I the only one who was wildly underwhelmed with The Dark Knight?

CantKeepMeHere

I really like all of his movies - alot

Nothingman54

Nolan is also doing THE MAN OF STEEL. I think he is writting it? Superman!

At first I was, but after repeat viewings it really did Grow on me. It's a very good film, but I would agree it didn't deserve the hype it got. It was just marketed incredibly well.

Yes it was.

Not wildly underwhelmed, but somewhat underwhelmed.

Hmmmm seems like a great way to tie DC Comics superheroes together. To me Superman on his own is just too weak of a movie.

Aint gonna happen with Chris Nolans Batman. He's always said He'd keep his universe separate from any other.

I disagree. Superman can be done right. I think Singer's movie focused too much on the lonely aspect of being a superhero. Superman 2 is a great example of how Superman can be done well. I think "Smallville" has done a great job with the way they've treated Superman. It is a great way of re-envisioning the mythos while not wholeheartedly changing the story and also adding depth to Clark Kent's persona. But I'm biased as a Superman fan.

I don't think it was a perfect film by any means. I think people were so taken by Heath Ledger's performance that their attention was taken away from the flaws in the film.

I agree with this, although Smallville has gotten a bit stretched the past few years.

I think the problem is the villian is often someone superman could destroy without any trouble except for that friggin kryptonite. They need to bring in some super villians that could create some sort of cool fight scene (and that's something you do get often on Smallville even though the krypto is usually in there somewhere).

And the fight scene is usually 10 seconds long.

that is probably the best site for batman movie news...it does a nice job of weeding out the bogus rumors.

its got a couple blurbs about the possibility of it being in 3D which would be AWESOME.

also--has something about emily blunt being mentioned as possibly candidate for the catwoman role, should they go in that direction which i so hope they do

I wasnt a fan of The Dark Knight at all. Couldnt understand why it was so loved and people were declaring it "The best movie ever" before it even came out.


Everyone's favorite character was basically just a terrorist with clown makeup. What if he had a turban on his head?

that would probably be a different comic book...

Hopefully Christian Bale takes a bit of a chill pill on this one and tones down Mr. Raspyvoice.
I guess Bruce Wayne has to hide his identity somehow but... it still bothered me.

Yeah that's right, the voice in the first movie was ok, but in the second... what the fuck happened to him!!? :shock: that little thing ruined the character. I'm not a big fan of these new Batman Movies, I still think that Burton's film were the best by far.

I can't believe some of the posts here. Some people are taking Batman way to seriously. It's a piece of entertainment. The Dark Knight was a good movie. There's no need to pick it apart, it's based on a comic for sake.

Hmmm... I didn't find anyone outrageously tearing this one apart for good or bad...
You wanna talk people taking entertainment too seriously... let's talk pearl jam fans!

he made me think of that kid with asthma on malcom in the middle the way he'd pause after every few words.

That drove me crazy too!
I thought the movie was sub-par. Hype and marketing dont make for a good movie. I can't even remember one memorable scene now that its been a year since i've seen it.

the Dark Knight was one of the top Batman movies. the biggest issue is with it was Batman. batman sounded so goofy when he was in the batman outfit.


it's always fun to watch movies that are filmed in the area.
