why are the writers/artists of batman more insane than batman?

After their parents were killed a Batman comic blew in through an open window next to where they were sitting on a plush armchair smoking a pipe. This is true of Batman writers without exception.

not too much to go on there 'cept the Batmang lookin' rough at the end there.
― THIS IS SATIRE BTW (Simon H.), Monday, 18 July 2011 16:59 (thirteen years ago) link
So the main plot is that Batmang has to face Bane as Ra's al Ghul's new protege, right?
― mh, Monday, 18 July 2011 17:09 (thirteen years ago) link
Sounds like, not much to go on. The trailer looked like it was assembled from test footage...which is ok. The main point seemed to be that there's gonna be another batfilm. Not really excited about Bane, would prefer another go with the Joker with somebody else playing the role.

Really?
― Number None, Monday, 18 July 2011 17:26 (thirteen years ago) link
Anyone this actually trumps the teaser for The Dark Knight in that it has some footage, even if it's only a tiny bit. I like the last shot of Bane coming at the Batman. Looks menacing
― Number None, Monday, 18 July 2011 17:27 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah, there's no reason somebody else couldn't give it a shot. (xpost)

I feel like i got my fill of The Joker in the last one. What more is there to say about him really?
― Number None, Monday, 18 July 2011 17:28 (thirteen years ago) link
he's implacable.

it's hard to imagine ledger's joker concocting hilarious "mouse trap" style death schemes.

can't believe they went with the commissioner-gordon-has-a-hernia storyline. all laid up trying to commission from his hospital bed.

Did we talk about the fake trailer with Robin Williams itt yet? It was all over Facebook this weekend.

So this is apparently being filmed behind my flat. Pittsburgh is the new gotham. Look out for a hippy in his underpants in the tracking shots.

Don't remind me, my enjoyment of this film will already be reduced by approximately 3% since I will no longer be able to watch for familiar Chicago locations. Traitors.
― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Friday, 29 July 2011 14:14 (thirteen years ago) link
I'm being silly, but they really established a lot of serious shots of Gotham's skyline with very notable Chicago buildings so I'm wondering how they'll reconcile that in the new one. Lots of CGI?
― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Friday, 29 July 2011 14:15 (thirteen years ago) link
Obviously the action will take place in the other part of Gotham they didn't show, or they'll rely on the audience not knowing architecture worth a shit.
― mh, Friday, 29 July 2011 14:23 (thirteen years ago) link
Good points, both. I was just impressed with they way they wove the character of Chicago into the last movie.
― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Friday, 29 July 2011 14:24 (thirteen years ago) link
Have you seen Source Code, jon? It's obviously less woven and not really fictionalized, but gave me more of a shock due to lack of recontextualizing.
― mh, Friday, 29 July 2011 14:39 (thirteen years ago) link
Not yet, I do want to see that though. I've worked on a couple projects down at IIT that were shown in the trailer, so I'm imagining there are some shots of the city.
― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Friday, 29 July 2011 14:41 (thirteen years ago) link
The entire plot is the main character repeatedly having to relive eight minutes of time on one of the north Metra lines, although they obviously futz with the geography since things not up there are included. He gets off at a station multiple times, the Glenview one I think.
― mh, Friday, 29 July 2011 14:45 (thirteen years ago) link
Gotham looked like a totally different city in Batman Begins, so i don't really see how it matters. It's just like different comics interpretations of the same place
― Number None, Friday, 29 July 2011 15:06 (thirteen years ago) link
Clearly they could not use Chicago again because Michael Bay destroyed the city with giant robots and ruined it for everyone.

you wonder whether if there had been an amply lit shot of batman at some point before now the whole thing would seem/look ridiculous

The way they've done the Bane mask, maybe just the colors of it, reminds me weirdly of the Mutant gang from Dark Knight Returns - wonder if that's what they're going for.
