so cool that it looks like they're putting the arkham breakout in the movie. That was my favorite idea in the bane storyline.

Will DEFINITELY see this. I was one of the few people who thought Batman Begins> The Dark Knight, But Nolan's Bats film are consistently interesting and unusual at least.
― Inevitable stupid samba mix (chap), Tuesday, 12 July 2011 06:41 (twelve years ago) link
I think Batman Begins probably has more going for it in terms of mythos and character development, but TDK has a lot more to it, overall. Probably the biggest weakness of TDK is that every character has more depth than Batman!
― mh, Tuesday, 12 July 2011 15:52 (twelve years ago) link
that's not a weakness

is Nolan still writing and directing?

I thought he was co-writing this with his brother, like the last ones...?
― a man is only a guy (Shakey Mo Collier), Tuesday, 12 July 2011 15:56 (twelve years ago) link
honestly Inception is the only thing that gives me pause about this one. I've liked all his other movies but that was garbage.
― a man is only a guy (Shakey Mo Collier), Tuesday, 12 July 2011 15:57 (twelve years ago) link
inception was just like all his other movies! he just has really boring dreams.

Ann Hathaway is the only thing that gives me pause about this one. I don't think she's a bad actress, but I have a really tough time believing she would be able to pull off Catwoman. In the Joel Schumacher version of Batman movies, maybe.

as long as the costume is on point i am sure miss hathaway will be okay.

They've been sort of coy about her Catwoman, no? Like, she's in it, but not much as Catwoman or something?
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 12 July 2011 19:07 (twelve years ago) link
Maybe she will be another dead girl for Batman to get emo over like in every other Christopher Nolan movie.

an emo kung-fu billionaire beating the shit out of people to avenge his dead mother really is the ultimate nolan subject

I think the main diff between the first two, story-wise, is that David Goyer did the screenplay for the first but he was just involved in brainstorming the story for the second
― mh, Tuesday, 12 July 2011 19:19 (twelve years ago) link
TDK is massively overambitious, raising moral questions it has no hope of resolving. It's a bit of a mess. BB is just a really well-made, atmospheric, exciting action flick.

to be fair this is every "serious" batman story for the last 25 years.

I thought BB was too cheesy/underdone in the final chase/battle where Lt. Gordon is supposedly driving Batman's vehicle and Batman is having an "oh no you didn't" conversation/fight on the train.
Most of it is pretty decent, though.
― mh, Tuesday, 12 July 2011 19:28 (twelve years ago) link
Josh they have recently said there definitely will be a cat costume.
― Duane Barry, Tuesday, 12 July 2011 19:35 (twelve years ago) link
its pretty much been confirmed that the catwoman costume's gonna be modeled on the recent redesign with the novelty oversized goggles and zipper pull

LOL
― Telephoneface (Adam Bruneau), Tuesday, 12 July 2011 19:46 (twelve years ago) link
I don't think the moral questions raised in TDK can be resolved without feeling pat, preachy or "edgy"
like, if I go to a Batman movie and there's an extended tortured self-monologue where Batman goes "I need to tap everyone so I can find a lead, but I can't listen to everyone's cell phone conversations, that is a gross invasion of privacy, oh heavens I am conflicted", I am going to think that you are more interested in a political agenda than a story
but, if a side character interrupts Bats and argues the point, you are introducing conflict into the story while raising an interesting political point that may not have an easy resolution (particularly in a fictitious world), plus I would feel any repercussions from that choice played out later down the line would be better earned
basically it's about presentation

I thought the end of TDK was kind of overblown, but Gary Oldman's monologue really did put tears in my eyes
― mh, Tuesday, 12 July 2011 19:47 (twelve years ago) link
i think BB > TDK
― goole, Tuesday, 12 July 2011 19:47 (twelve years ago) link
ok I'm blind this week, I didn't notice the sky above the buildings was the batman logo until I saw the larger version of the poster on the official website
I think TDK has some amazing set pieces that are filmed and presented better than anything in BB. Either that or it just has that opening bank job where all the accomplices get killed and I love it so much I overlook the rest.
― mh, Tuesday, 12 July 2011 19:49 (twelve years ago) link
josh they have definitely used the word 'voluptuous' in describing the catwoman costumexp

no i think this is true. i didnt realize how awesome the truck chase was until i saw the movie again, but its really a nice piece of work. cool movie imo
― Ayatollah Colm Meaney (Princess TamTam), Tuesday, 12 July 2011 19:51 (twelve years ago) link
the truck chase is pretty great. and I tend to hate car chase scenes

It did! Whenever i hear about this movie and all the DEEP MORAL QUESTIONS it asks i think back to the time I've seen it and kinda have to laugh. Maybe someone needs to point out some of these to re-jog my memory. I mostly remember lots of explosions and growly voices and token 'War On Terror' references.
