Duh!

No....Jack napier never did kill Wayne's parents....it was actually Joe Chill.

And I though the movie was the greatest thing ever!

Harvey Dent?... would YOU bring back Tommy Lee Jones?...

JOKER... Nicholson?...mmm...

, but no, maybe not

I've always wanted to see KNIGHTFALL on a movie

Slapnutz · 06-23-2005, 02:33 PM

Tommy Lee Jones played Two-Face as a bad Joker clone. Rumour has it Guy Pearce and Liev Schreiber are up for the role.

WinnieThePoo · 06-23-2005, 02:55 PM

it's not tommy lee jones fault , more like bad screenplay & director's work

Agreed. But Jones didn't help matters when he went into the project without any knowledge of the source material. He said he didn't feel the need to research the role as 'it's only a comic book, not fucking shakespeare'. Hence the hammy performance that screamed big payday.

God, I'm starting to sound like a geek...

That is why he should never have been given the role in the first place, no respect but that is Schumacher's fault for not respecting the character.

Well, after seeing Batman Begins today, I only have seven letters to express how I feel:

A-W-E-S-O-M-E.

That’s right! I’m a huge Batman fan as well, and after the complete and utter travesty that is Batman Forever/Batman and Robin, Begins has successfully re-energized the franchise. This is the definitive Batman film!

If they do decide to make multiple sequels to Begins, I dearly hope at least one of them features Mr. Freeze. He’s by far my favorite Batman villain and that fact that he’s more of a tragic Shakespearian character than a strait forward bad guy would perfectly fit the new wave of Batman films.

By the way, did anyone check out the pathetic Batman Begins review on TIME magazine? I guess the reviewer was either a) having a bad day, or b) since it is based on a comic book character, he never treated it seriously.

nbcrusader · 06-28-2005, 02:11 PM

I saw this last night. EXCELLENT!!! What Batman should be.

Katie Holmes was the only weak point.

RedRocksU2 · 06-28-2005, 05:50 PM

Great movie.......
So far the best movie of the year, for me.

In the past, all the people that have portrayed Batman, they NEVER showed any emotions when they had the mask on......Bale did a GREAT job as well as did Michael Cane...........

I can not wait for the next one......

RedRocksU2 · 06-28-2005, 06:00 PM

......I forgot to mention something.

I can't believe that nobody has mentioned the fact that Gary Oldman was in this movie!
This guy is incredible in all of his movies..........as a villain.

I wonder why he took this role? Don't get me wrong...I think he did a good job though.

briarrose · 06-28-2005, 07:49 PM

Gary Oldman was great in Batman. I really really like Liam Neeson. I love him in every movie. I wish he would have been in Batman more.

Flying FuManchu · 06-28-2005, 08:19 PM

I wish Oldman had a bigger/ more fleshed out part in the movie but then I guess it was good that he didn't b/c Batman has always been overshadowed in other movies (even the awful ones) and Oldman always has the potential to overshadow other actors in other movies.

trevster2k · 06-28-2005, 09:47 PM

Geek mistake

In my review I commented on a Batgirl cameo, my mistake, that was Gordon's son , Batgirl is his niece whom he adopts.

I feel much better now.

Oldman will have a bigger role in the next movie. It was clear from the closing scene that his character's relationship with Batman will grow.

RedRocksU2 · 06-29-2005, 01:14 PM

^.....yeah, I got that as well.....

Like some reviewer put it: "Things must be going really bad in Gotham city if the only good cop is played by Gary Oldman"

nbcrusader · 07-02-2005, 12:57 PM

I like how they had a stylish villin (scarecrow) that wasn't over the top like the last series of Batman movies.
