Goatboys girl Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 So, saw the trailr for the first time - looked pretty good. Anybody excited yet? (I started a topic - I'm becoming more commited!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Jax Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 Oh yeah. I'm still more psyched for Sin City, but I'm thinking this Batman movie could leave the first one in the dust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Bob Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 Not that it would be too terribly difficult to leave the first one in the dust. Nicholson aside, I always thought Burton's Batman was really overrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daytripper Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 Already disappointed. The spirit and the legacy of Bob Kane and Batman raped for marketting purposes. And is it me or this new crapmobile was inspired by the gas guzzling hummer? Classic TV batmobie: Or even the comics classic: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Bob Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 (Shrug) Considering the Humvee was originally designed for combat, it doesn't bother me that Bats would drive a similar kind of vehicle. It certainly makes more sense than him cruising around town in an open convertible with fins on the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 Yeah, batmobile controversies aside, what about this trailerj/flick looks to teabag Bob Kane's vision? If youre leaning more towards the Adam West 60's portrayl of Bats then, say, Frank Miller's, then its just a perspective thing, as some people actually seem to miss the "hello, chum" Batman of yore.

Silent Bob Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 I'd personally love to see them do a movie someday that's closer to some of the stuff in the comics. Maybe not Bob Kane, but at least Jeph Loeb (this new one has a lot of plot points lifted from Loeb, but the style seems all Miller). Miller's vision of Batman was great, but it's not the be-all-end-all. It couldn't hurt if they'd expand a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Jax Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 Actually for live action, I think Miller's vision is the only thing that's not down right trite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Bob Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 Yeah, that's probably true. Maybe they should make more animated Batman movies. Mask of the Phantasm was the best Batman movie nobody ever saw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Jax Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 I saw it, and own it. It's so great. Such a shame no one but me and DJ have seen it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 and the nick, who agrees with you two, in the third person. An animated "Hush" would be awesome. SB, what other Loeb stuff you wanna see done? Long Halloween might be cool... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Bob Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 Long Halloween would be cool. I hear that Begins is using a lot of stuff from Long Halloween, actually. Particularly the stuff about the old-school mob being pushed out of Gotham by the rise of the supervillain (the great Tom Wilkinson is playing Carmine Falcone). But even though they're using some plots from Loeb, it looks like the tone is still all Miller, complete with the black armored costume (not Miller's idea specifically, but certainly inspired), the tank of a batmobile (like the one in DKR) and the often-used "Bruce Wayne is the mask" concept of portraying the character. I mean, there's nothing wrong with Miller's vision of the character, I love it just as much as anybody. I just think after the last two films hitting us over the head with camp, and the two before that hitting us over the head with Frank Miller darkness, I'd love to see a Batman that's somewhere between the two extremes, like most of the comics - especially after already seeing Sin City this year.
