Batman carries on beginning in ... The Dark Knight

joker sounds like andy dick

oh ok.

i'm kinda slow

andy dick as the joker would have been kind of terrifying.

I'm not sure if I like these new Batman character designs. In the first movie we had pumpkin-head Batman, and now there's the greasy-haired Juggalo Joker.

I certainly prefer the dandy Joker.

greasy-haired Juggalo Joker.

lol

He's been giving head to some Juggalette, too, given how scattershot its application is.

Sending Heath out in style, at least:

This is easily the blockbuster I'm most excited about this year.

Kinda like Andy Dick, but without the over-the-top feyness.

I am SO excited for this movie. So.

Yeah, it's really still the only one I'm all opening-night-must-see about over the next couple of months.

I will see this. Also, I had no idea Gotham City is supposed to be in New Jersey.

I think it's supposed to be further south on the Eastern Seaboard in the comics.

is tony starks in this?

I'm not an uber comics geek, but weird. I guess it makes sense these days... New Jersey is more "New York City" than New York right now.

not really feeling this like everybody else

fav joker is mark hamill tho so wtf do i know

mask of the phantasm d-_-b

from the Jeffrey Wells blog:

A non-USA exhibition source told me this evening that The Dark Knight's running time has been confirmed at 152 minutes.

HE reader Mgmax has explained the evolution in two lines: "In the 1950s and early '60s we had long, self-important movies about Jesus. In the 21st Century we have long, self-important movies about Batman."

"And Jesus stayed three days within the Batcave..."

fuck mgmax, the trailer for this looked incredible

also batman > jesus

I'll be missing this AND you'll be in hell; everybody wins!

true story: my friend K. is in this, and snuck off set with Gary Oldman to go waterskiing, but a change in shooting plans necessitated Nolan send a helicopter after, to drag them back for a walk-through shot. they arrived on set in their swimsuits, and to punish them Nolan insisted they costume-change in front of everybody. according to K., he has never been more humbled by the shape and girth of an old guy's... equipment.

can anyone link to the actual theatrical trailer? the one i saw wasnt this one - http://www.firstshowing.net/2007/12/17/the-dark-knight-full-theatrical-trailer-debuts/

btw has anyone commented on nolan getting all meta w/ the posters/trailers yet WHY SO SERIOUS

latest one i think

http://www.apple.com/trailers/wb/thedarkknight/

yeah those are its

so many incredible shots just in the trailers alone, i dont really get how anyone could watch those & not be hyped for this

i like eckhart's line towards the end of trailer #3. it's total FORESHADOWING bullshit but it's good.

Jack Nicholson all the way, but at least this Batman is trying to bring the scary back, this years Joker ain't nothing to fuck with. I cannot BELIEVE Aaron Eckhart is two face & I'm chewing my fingernails with the anticipation.
Its not crass to say that because of Heath's tragic death and everything this movie is going to SELL?

yeah this is the first movie for me in awhile that is truly a MUST-SEE-IN-THEATER type, in a way that IJ & iron man werent

also really not a fan of people being all "hey its a comic book lighten up"; im so sick of the self-aware wink-wink bullshit these kinds of movies all have these days

i dont think heath's passing is gonna be a factor at all btw

also really not a fan of people being all "hey its a comic book lighten up"; im so sick of the self-aware wink-wink bullshit these kinds of movies all have these days

totally agree...all those movies suck so bad, I want some dark, cynical dystopian shit in comix movies...these need to be more alan moore and less jon favreau

I'm mad excited for DK and yeah it is definitely a see-it-in-theaters thing for the first time maybe of the year?

corny but "one rumor involves owning and operating a Brazilian modeling agency" made me lol.

these need to be more alan moore and less jon favreau

GET TO WORK HOOS

*crickets*

travers: 3.5 stars

yeah, seriously. It almost makes me (a giant Batfanboy) feel bad about being so apathetic to the huge amt of work that must have gone into making all these websites for an imaginary city. But not quite.

No, they all kind of look like each took about 45 minutes in Microsoft FrontPage.

Oh man, Gotham is apparently safer than the Boise and El Paso airports!
