Catwoman makes sense especially given the fate of Rachel Dawes. I personally want to see Robin eventually. I agree the next film would be too early but maybe by 4 or 5. Nolan, I believe, is on record as saying no Robin on his watch. That doesn’t mean we couldn’t see The Flying Graysons killed off in the next film though, and end it with Wayne taking in Dick. Even four would be a little soon but the groundwork could be laid. Bruce is constantly hiding his nightlife from Dick who eventually figures it out and then he steps into Robin in 5.

He is truly a weird cat fft. Brilliant! But one weird mutha. Not that there's anything wrong with being eccentric. I just saw an interview online with him where he totally trashed the movie 300. He hadn't seen it mind you, but actually hated the book so he felt it was perfectly sensible to trash Zach and the film. And he did it all while looking like Charles Manson on steroids!

Oops! I did miss that in the previous post. Thanks for pointing it out Capt & repeating the info Raith. (It was so close to Michael Bay’s name in the post I may have suppressed it like I did with all my childhood trauma). The ticket price is definitely something to keep in mind when comparing the two. How sweet would it be to have TDK rereleased at the end of the year?

Anti-Semitism and Anti-Zionism are two totally different things and to equate the two lines of thought as equal is to stifle legitimate debate about the moral and legal actions of a sovereign state by falsely claiming racism to obfuscate the actual factual argument being offered. It’s cowardly. I have plenty of Jewish friends who are anti-Zionists. That does not make them self-loathing Jews, although proponents of Zionism would argue that it does because that changes the argument. True patriots do question their governments. It is the duty of responsible citizens. People who can’t back up their blind faith in government don’t refute those questions with facts, they refute them with distracting and loud name calling in an attempt to change the debate from a debate to putting those who asked the questions on the defensive against non-factual and horrible allegations. “Racist”, “Traitor” and Terrorist Sympathizer” are not actual defenses of policy. You know that already and are attempting to use that tactic here or you’ve blindly followed whatever has been fed to you to the point where you are too ignorant to understand what I’m saying. Zionism is not a religion or a race of people. It is a state policy. If you haven’t thought about it you should. If you have thought about it then you already know what you’re doing by yelling “anti-Semite”. You’re hiding the issue.

I loved Jack's Joker but IMHO his was more faithful to the 60's TV show Joker than to the comic's Joker, or at least the comics Joker from the last 25 years. Jack's Joker was over-the-top and very funny but there was no real sense of menace. Heath's had his funny moments but even those left you feeling awkward and filled with dread. You truly didn't know when, how or if he was going to suddenly react violently. Even at his funniest things were very tense while he was onscreen. Imagine if they had abandoned going for a PG-13 rating here. Both very different takes on the character and I agree with wessmith that each fit perfectly with the vision of each director. For me it seemed there was more acting involved in Heath’s performance. I mentioned before on another thread, at no point was I or Jack Nicholson unaware Jack Nicholson was on screen. Heath was completely lost in his role.

Damn. Got to admit the trailers haven't really done anything for me. I want to believe as well but I've a feeling this is too little too late. Hope to see it in the theater but it's far from a priority at this point. Still don't understand why they went with a stand alone instead of with the mythology.

There already was a sequel to this called Shock Treatment, I believe, and there’s a reason you didn’t know that. This will fail. I agree with all y’all. Just go see a midnight showing with a bunch of drunken friends. That whole scene developed naturally on its own. MTV is gonna package that shit and try to ram it down our throats.

LOL. Enjoy that Afternoon Delight RaithManan! Iron Man is a great movie, no doubt, and a mega-great comic movie (that’s right – mega-great bitches). It’s got its share of critic praise to be certain. One thing TDK has though is just about all the raving critics calling this more than a comic movie. Almost to a man. Both movies raised the bar but I think Dark Knight is giving people a whole new perspective on how to approach these films. I think all those DC/WB properties that have been in limbo the last few years are gonna get kicked started very soon and very respectfully. I’ve talked to a lot of folk who have seen The Watchmen trailer and had no idea who/what they were that are really now looking forward to it. I think seeing that right in front of TDK helped them appreciate what could be coming a lot more than if they’d just seen it online or with a different flick. The trailer was great, don’t get me wrong, and I am wicked psyched for it since The Watchmen will own you son, but as mentioned it’s really the fanboys familiar with it that would go ga-ga over it. TDK is really going to help perception of that movie. It’ll never do the same business as TDK, obviously, but I bet there’s a hell of a lot more people interested as a result of Dark Knight.

That's a tough one Raith. I was thinking maybe Evangeline Lilly. She can pull off both the glamorous ball going Selina Kyle and the ass-kicking Catwoman plus the vulnerability behind the former prostitute angle. Flint suggested Kate Beckinsale yesterday and that's slowly been growing on me. 10 years ago Angelina Jolie but not now.

Catwoman makes perfect sense given the death of Dawes. Any chance at a 'normal' life for Bats would need to involve someone 'in the life' if you will. Would tie in nicely with the Batman as wanted fugitive angle as well. Agree that she couldn't float as the movies main villain, but only because she isn't a truly evil or insane character. She's just a master thief out for personal gain.

LOL - hanso I've been thinking about it every day since my first viewing. Okay, let's be honest. Every day well before my first viewing. For us fanboys this is a monumental film well worth discussing and debating and analyzing. It validates what we’ve all known for years and more so than any previous comic film. You can treat this stuff seriously and respectfully and make a great, successful and relevant film. I'm still working on Lady Baloney to get in for a third viewing. Raith I like the Depp & Weaving suggestions very much. Even if just a little cameo in 3 letting us know he's still there and plotting mayhem for # 4 or 5. Throw me a Dr. Qinnzel sighting Nolan!!! Raith's also got a great suggestion for a column Jarrod! We're discussing it all anyway. Let's devote a column to our giddy prediction and desires for the third! Make sure you start it with your thoughts!!

hanso - there's also that bit in Gotham Knights where he decides that "force field" tech Lucious developed left too many things to chance that could end up killing someone, good or bad. I agree Ra's living wouldn't change that Bats left him to die WISE. I think it is growth and it wouldn't surprise me to see Ra's show up again forcing Batman to face up to what he did/did not do.

Good column Kurt. Really like your Harvey analysis. WISEGUY I hear you with regards to letting Ra’s die and not the Joker. That part of Begins was definitely something I found fault with, especially now, considering how important not killing is for TDK. The scene where he blows up Ra’s compound also doesn’t really gel with this newer take on Bats. I’m sure lots o’folks, some just servants, were killed in that explosion. I do think not killing The Joker was the right way to play it. Growth on the part of Batman? He let Ra’s to die, essentially by his own hand, and has come to realize that the moral high ground needs to go beyond that? And I’m very hopeful that we will at least see several nominations for this film. It kicks ass well beyond standard superhero films. And I'm also hopeful we haven't really seen the last of Ra's. Though that in no way takes from Batman leaving him to die.

Though I did like Freddy VS Jason. Isn't Michael Bay involved in this? Makes me think the "delve deeper into the psychology of nightmares" line is a crock but I will remain cautiously optimistic. Still no love with the avatar eh PRED?

Bale needs to return sometime in September. On to this topic: I am very psyched for this. Was since the people involved were announced and even more so once I heard that familiar music in the trailer. As stated above McG is obviously enthusiastic about the project and I'm confident he'll do a great job.

Ah! I do remember that now. Thanks Flint. Key word at this time is allegedly I suppose. That is so bizarre! I think Lilly could pull off the gorgeous gown Selina Kyle and the kick-ass Catwoman pretty well myself. I'd take your Beckinsale suggestion over Eva though.

P Stewart as Hugo Strange Guy Pearce as Mr. Zsasz I like Giamatti as Penguin and Penguin as mob boss and owner of The Iceberg Lounge Catwoman? I could see Beckinsale making a better CW than Jolie. Nothing against Jolie but I just don’t see her as Selina. Neither one really does it for me in the role though. How about Evangeline Lilly? Angelina as Talia Al Ghul perhaps? After watching TDK I have to concede that, as much as I’d love to see ‘em on the big screen, Manbat and Killer Croc would be ridiculous at this point.

I gotta admit to being tricked with Gordon's death. I couldn't believe it at first but then I was thinking about a few things I read saying Oldman wanted out. They got me good and I was actually getting pissed! Anyone know if Oldman was setting us up with that talk before the release or if he really doesn't like being part of this?

For the record Dent was not going to kill the Rachel Dawes cop. At that point he was still working with a non-scarred, two-headed coin. It was always going to come up heads. It was a scare tactic he employed which brought him up to but not yet past where Batman was in terms of morality and getting the job done. He would, obviously, eventually get past that point but not until he had lost everything. It wasn’t until it was revenge time that he would cross the line. Did we see both of Dent’s eyes open at the end? Now I gotta go a third time! Hope we didn’t and Harvey’s relaxing at Arkham. I do hope we eventually get Joker recast but definitely not for the next film. Let Nolan finish his trilogy and then maybe for the forth or fifth. No one will ever top Ledger’s performance so let’s give it some space but The Joker is Batman’s arch-nemesis and the set up we get for a lifetime of antagonism between the two was too perfect to ignore. Ledger deserves at least a nomination and probably the gold for this performance whether he died or not and regardless of how he died. The performance was seriously Oscar worthy and that’s that. Eckhart deserves a Best Supporting nom as well and this whole film is, IMHO, a contender for Best Picture. Get past the superhero aspect cuz there was MUCH more to the film then just being a comic book superhero flick. This was about morality. This was about sanity. This was about the line where the ends justifying the means. This was about trust and loyalty. This was about the perceived decay of society and just how far we’ve gone and even if we’re worth saving. This was a mob movie. This was a psychological thriller. This was a masterpiece! IMHO not a second was wasted in this film. Jarrod – lol! My tongue was firmly planted in cheek when I made the $300 mil prediction but now I’m just a little excited that it just might. lol - Who can say after all this record breaking this weekend? Now – bring on The Watchmen!

Hey momitchell7. Shut up. You don’t know squat about what type of guy Ledger was or why he was taking anti-depressants or couldn’t sleep at night. Are you fucking Tom Cruise? Get your Scientologist ass out of here. I am in love with a wonderful woman who has to take anti-depressants due to a chemical imbalance she has no natural control over. Fuck you. You’re making a lot of assumptions about this guy with no actual first hand knowledge to back your bullshit prissy opinions on. If he OD’d on coke or killed himself drunk driving then I could maybe excuse your bullshit analysis of the situation, even though they’d still just be bullshit opinions. Go jump on a couch and espouse your love for Katie Holmes somewhere else.

And The New T-800 TERMINATOR Is...? - Jul 18, 2008 - 09:38am
Kikinger’s quote does make it sound like he’s playing Arnold’s model. Not sure what to make of that & the T-800 showing up 20 years early. FrozenFears right in that there are lots of continuity gaffes in the movies and show that are just ignored. I love the idea that each trip back in time changes the timeline and hope this trilogy addresses that. Maybe this T-800 actually traveled back 20 years.

That's some damn fine talent there as well. Ain't heard squat about it though. Is there a trailer somewhere for that? Cheadle = Hannibal Smith. You know it to be true!

Top Maniacal Rumors: Monster Madness, Iron Confusion and Matrix Plastic - Jul 18, 2008 - 09:18am
1) Monster Squad? Okay. I’m there. Provided Guillermo Del Toro is making it. If not I guess it’s wait and see time. Barely remember the original. May have been too old to really appreciate it. 2)Singer’s got a good Superman movie in him and I’m hoping this is it. Although I bet Letettier’s would be a bit more action oriented. 3)I agree if Avengers kicks BO ass then we’ll get another Hulk and I will be happy. Hopefully Norton will be there for both that and the Avengers. 4)Will Transfomers 2 be more like an actual movie or just a bunch of explosions? Yawn. Intrigued by that there Friday the 13th re-Imagineering adaptating remakish thing though. 5)I liked all 3 Matrix. I like Keanu. I like Plastic Man. I think there is huge potential for this to go either way. I will remain cautiously optimistic for the time being but, yeah, probably never gonna git anywhere with this. Thanks for the reminder about Bound evilb! Ah Tilly/Gershon sex. That was a great little flick. 6)If RDJ thinks this is the man then I gots no problem with that!

Snyder’s track record gives me much hope that the whole film will be wonderful. Almost – If you haven’t read the books, they aren’t real cheery.

THE DARK KNIGHT: The Joker's Wild! - Jul 18, 2008 - 07:51am
It is the best Batman movie ever with the best Batman ever. Burton’s Batman was great but doesn’t even come close to this IMHO. Other than presenting a darker take to the character saying it was closer to the comic is ludicrous. Jack’s hammy, over-the-top performance was great to watch but Joker as former mob thug? Batman killing? Wrong. At no point was I unaware that I was watching Jack Nicholson. At no point was Jack unaware. Ledger lost himself in the role completely. His Joker is phenomenal and, IMO, much closer to the comic. And Batman not killing is a pretty major point to the character that Burton ignored. Nolan addressed it here in spades. This movie totally blew me away. I cannot wait to see it again, hopefully in the IMAX. It is such a shame I will never get to see Heath Ledger’s Joker beat Jason Todd to death with a pipe. Damn shame. Now if you’ll excuse me I’m gonna consume this here whole bottle of chill pills and take a nap under my desk. Congratulations and good luck needaname!

Okay. My only real complaints with the Terminator films (3 has grown on me) & Show have been that all this time travel seems like a convenient excuse to throw away continuity gaffes. I know that I’m an optimistic dreamer but this trailer makes me think that the jokes on us. The reason we haven’t seen The Future in anything but flashbacks so far is that this ain’t about the rise of the machines and humanity’s comeback. It’s about the repercussions of Time Travel. I may be kidding myself but this ain’t John Connor’s daddy’s future.

Maybe ALIEN was still talking about The Dark Knight? Maybe he was high? Speaking of which I finally got to see this (turns out I just had to go to Yahoo! Movies and that is not a plug) and I’ve got to say I’m in agreement wolfman, shadowprime &, maybe, Elenuccia. If particolare means what I hope it means then Oh Yeah. It ain’t shaping up the way I thought it would but, like prime, I know very little of the character. I’m hopeful. I don’t think the final movie is gonna be so Shag Me Spirit focused but I could be wrong. I’m sure we’re a few trailers away so I’ll reserve final judgement. I love Miller but he doesn’t hit them out of the park every time in the comics and this is really his freshman film. The Sin City film style could work against him and it’s a valid point. But I see a lot of potential in this trailer. I see a black and white pulp comic from the 40’s there. I;m not in the theater yet but I think I will be. Would it be wrong for me to want to particolare Milla Jovovich?

Well, technically this is a remake of an old foreign film, as I understand it, which we tend to bash a bit less whytedragon. I’d personally never heard of it. So I ain’t got no stake in it in that sense. It’s been years and it isn’t well known. If you mean that this is a sort of remake of The Dirty Dozen, Tarantino’s taking the concept (admitting quite willingly where his inspiration is coming from) and making it his own (which is very distinct) and giving it a new name to further cement it ain’t your daddy’s D12. Unlike the ball-less people behind such remakes as Day Of The Dead or Red Dawn, who were/are basically using a known title as lazy marketing tool. You can call Tarantino a lot of things but he ain’t lazy when it comes to making movies stand on their own. He’s also not taking a well known film that still stands up today and pointlessly remaking it out of love of himself *cough* Zombie *cough* Halloween *cough*cough* Don’t really think the lack of bashing has anything to do with who’s starring. But speaking of who is starring: SWEET!!

DVD Shopping Bag: Marvel vs. DC - Jul 16, 2008 - 08:11am
I don't know if Mutant X would could as it wasn't really based on a comic. There was that Generation X TV movie though. I really enjoyed Birds of Prey when it was on. I was really disappointed it didn't get the chance it deserves. I thought it was MUCH better and more innovative then Smallville. I need to check out the DVDs to see if it was as enjoyable as I remember. SaintD I don't remember ever hearing that but Moon Knight could be great. When was that being kicked around?

I loved him in Constantine. His Satan was awesome. Too bad this sucks. The premise could have worked.

HBO's First Look at DARK KNIGHT - Jul 14, 2008 - 02:07pm
LOL goatartist! genretime - Man-bat has been on my shortlist for a movie translation for a long time! I would love to see both him and Killer Croc in the same flick playing off who's the monster and who's the tragic character. Mr. Zsasz is also someone that could work really, really well. He's not all that fleshed out in the comics so there's a lot of freedom there. Kind of a Hannibal Lector Vs Batman vibe. Maybe him & Dr. Hugo Strange. Strange could be the shrink that pushes him to kill and dresses like Batman to stop him. I'm with all of you. So close I can taste it so I am on media blackout until midnight Thursday!!!! Godspeed on your flight home hanso!

TV Wasteland: Alan Ball Still Dealing with Death in His New HBO Series - Jul 14, 2008 - 08:06am
Never saw Moonlight but isn’t that kind of a stupid name for a show about vampires that can walk out in the daylight? I’m intrigued by the Ball show and look forward to finding out more about it. Middleman sounds like it could be pretty goofy in a good way. Anyone catch this yet? Is it worth checking out? Anyone else a Ghost Hunters fan that hates Ghost Hunters International? No idea how “real” either show is but Jason and Grant seem really earnest in their investigations. My girlfriend and I call bullshit on almost everything the International team claims. The Irish guy seems like a total snake oil salesman and Brian seems prone to hysteria and is “touched” by ghosts far too frequently. Psyche is a great show. Love the irreverence. I love when they pair it with Monk. Those two shows compliment each other very well.

Word bear. Have ya noticed the trend lately to remake/Americanize foreign films before they're even out of the theaters? I'd love to check out [rec] but I don't even think it's on DVD here in the states yet.

LOL I have noticed that but it's been the case since the "upgrade". Also no longer get an email when someone comments on your profile or an email notification if someone sends you a Friends Invite. Also - Private Messaging is a huge pain in the ass, though I haven't tried it in a while out of frustration.
