Is it? More hyped than Episode 1 or any of the Spiderman movies or the Lord of the rings movies?

Anyone think it is?

    i don't think it is, i've only seen the trailer on television twice maybe, but then again i don't watch that much television.

    I think it's bordering on being the most hyped film, but I don't think it's quite there. With it being Ledger's last role and a quite infamous role at that, of course it's going to be hyped up. That said, I do think that this is one movie that can live up to the hype.

    Overall, I still think Star Wars Episode 1 and Lord of the Rings: Return of the King are more overhyped than the Dark Knight.

    I wonder if there would be so much hype if Heath Ledger was still alive? I don't know maybe. I know RS raved about it..but yeah it's RS.

    D'oh! It is easily the best of all the Batman movies. It as the first one to really capture the dark somber tone of what a Batman film should have. I liked the first one with Jack as well, but Batman Begins kicks its ass up and down the Gotham streets.

    I couldn't think of the name...

    Yeah, I kind of stopped watching the batman movies after Michael Keaton stopped being in them. But that was Tim Burton's version. I do like Christian Bale though...

    agreed. i was a big fan of the jack one, too...but batman begins is just awesome. definitely the best. and yes, i was excited for this one before heath died. i saw an extended preview for it at planet hollywood and remember thinking "oh my god, he may be better than jack!" :eeK
    have i mentioned i can't wait for next week?! :D

    I don't think it is over-hyped at all. Batman Begins was awesome so you have to expect some press and promotion for the sequel. but it's no where near as hyped as the other movies you mentioned.

    Not overhyped. Perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes.

    I loved the first one. The fact the second one was filmed around my office just makes it that much cooler!

    I think there would be as much if not more hype if Heath was still with us.

    A parade of clips; about 9 minutes worth. Nothing that spoils the plot but it's high quality footage from the movie.
