Come anticipate "The Dark Knight Rises" with *BATSPOILERS*

Could live with Eckhart having some further involvement; don't get why TwoFace was meant to be any more dead than Batman was after they both fell off the same thing

whether you think it made sense or not, the movie was pretty unambiguous about Dent being dead at the end

i did like the prestige though.

the dark knight had a fuckton of plot holes.

also hate phrase "the dark knight"

batman should be retired for a few decades like captain marvel or something

u just hate it because u want it for yourself xp

and then the one guy was talking about batman to the other guy but then a third guy he was just like "batman is fucking boring. character is dead" and the first guy his head just exploded with the information it was terribly tragic he was dressed so nicely too

I think they should kill off Batman and replace him with a robot Batman and an alien Batman and Batman Jr and the first black Batman.

it's a shame those ray-bans didn't survive the impact

What were the plot holes in The Prestige? I know both of the twists were kinda silly from a realistic point of view, but it's not a realistic movie, and its internal logic seemed to work fine.

yeah i don't recall any huge plot holes, despite the ludicrous conceits.

some stuff was probably treated too elliptically.

I've been reading the wiki entries on some of these potential villains & the impression I'm left with is that they really, really need to up the level of security at Arkham Asylum.

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/herocomplex/2010/03/christopher-nolan-takes-flight-with-superman-we-have-a-fantastic-story-1.html

His villain choices to date have steered clear of strongly supernatural or super-science characters (no Man-Bat, Mr. Freeze or Poison Ivy, for instance) but he shook his head when asked if that was a trajectory he would continue. He did however concede one tidbit: “It won’t be," he said, "Mr. Freeze.”

He's writing and producing a new Superman movie too? Oh dear, I hope he isn't gonna do an "edgy" and "psychological" version of Supes too, that would be like the wrongest thing ever! I'd rather see something like an adaptation of All-Star Superman, but I can't see Nolan writing anything like that.

I think the strength of Nolan's Batman franchise is that he's created a bigger Gotham, and one that exists in a larger world in that Bruce Wayne can travel and Batman can go to Hong Kong. It makes sense that you'd see more than one criminal, gang, or villain, although the plots so far have done pretty well with keeping things balanced. I think the weakness of the Batman franchise, especially the earlier film series, was that there had to be some drawn out "Villian A meets Villian B" scene in the film, or that they had to tie together or have the origin story every time.

Maybe that's the win: no (complex) villain origins.

Nolan Batman = take the subtext of the Batman comics since forever, which has been made thuddingly overt at least since Frank Miller '86, and make it more overt and turn Batman into some pseud brainy b.s. And there's also one really, really big car with a really big turn radius.

The Burton Batman movies used space better. They communicated an unseen Gotham through judicious art direction and storyboarding, and they showed (or at least implied) night and fog without being pictorially dark.

I felt insulted by Batman Begins.

I thought the Burton films were good at the time, but there's a lot of characters standing around mugging for the camera. Maybe it's because the age I saw them at, but they seem a lot more cartoony. The Joker bouncing around the art museum, the Penguin doing his "oh what do we have here" intro to Catwoman and providing audience laughs that deformed freak is perving on latex catsuit.

Maybe Nolan's is too WHY SO SERIOUS-business, but I don't mind it. As for the idea that there's "pseud brainy b.s.," that's kind of baked into the franchise. The world's greatest detective, right?

I'd rather see something like an adaptation of All-Star Superman

me too, but this isn't gonna happen

Burton's first Batman movie is an ugly piece of shit

YOU WANNA GET NUTS?! COME ON - LET'S GET NUTS!!!

please Joker, don't make me listen to that shitty prince song again!

i agree that it's not a very good movie but it's not ugly by any means.

Also, Burton movies def. had the best Batmobile
