nah Matt is right and the first movie is really terrible (not all Nicholson's fault at all - really he's the best thing in it, probably. Which is kinda sad). Its weird how such a shitty movie kicked off this whole Hollywood-loves-comic-books thing that has dominated for the last 20 years.

seriously, let's break this down to real talk: who the fuck are these ppl who cannot comprehend the action/plot/storyline of ANY of the batman films? i mean even batman forever, for god's sake. if you can't comprehend these films then there is something wrong with you and maybe you need to do some sudoku or brain age or something, exercise that mind keep it fresh etc. no exceptions. they are not rocket science.

maybe i was being too hard on nicholson, but doesn't anyone else start to get bored with older 80s action flicks sometimes...like just in terms of ACTION, it's all so stiff.
i actually like Keaton a lot, I pretty much think he one of the most underrated actors.
i didn't feel like burton's batman was hard to understand. just parts seemed kinda stagey and stiff IMO. (like all the action parts)

i mean ok i havent seen dark knight but im watching clips right now
what the fuck is this? this isnt funny
meanwhile this flashback from the mostly boring batman beyond movie is the best shit ever (warning 10 minute long video but its super fkn awesome)
― Dr. Yakubius (and what), Friday, 19 December 2008 17:14 (fifteen years ago) link
lol i pasted the wrong youtube clip up there i meant this dark knight video
okay.... joker?
― Dr. Yakubius (and what), Friday, 19 December 2008 17:15 (fifteen years ago) link
needs a prince song
crap, crap, crap, crap, crap... THIS, i like
"vicki waiting" is a good song
anyway i liked dark knight.
― M@tt He1ges0n, Friday, 19 December 2008 17:16 (fifteen years ago) link
the biggest problem with burton's first batman is that is such a terrible prince song that i can't get past it

morbs, the thing is, i am nearsighted, don't play video games, and can happily sit thru any manners of films, and i could still follow what was going on in the action sequences in these movies.
^^^^ kiu :D

The point of the Joker isn't that he's funny and if that is your only metric for measuring his performance, you don't actually understand the character; even super-hammy Jack Nicholson's Joker was more than "haha I'm crazy".
Also, Ledger's Joker is often hilarious in the movie and most of his funniest scenes come about in direct contrast to other things happening in the movie.
I liked Carrey's Riddler but this is really fucking wrong.

really do think everybody should watch this clip mark hamill >>> all yall
― Dr. Yakubius (and what), Friday, 19 December 2008 17:23 (fifteen years ago) link
haha the pencil scene was hilarious to me btw and also yeah if you are just watching batman for lolz then that is fair enough but again this falls under what i said to tuomas: what do you think these characters are exactly, and is it fair to fault films because of something they're not actually TRYING to be?

"Also, Ledger's Joker is often hilarious in the movie and most of his funniest scenes come about in direct contrast to other things happening in the movie."
youtube or gtfo, all the shit people told me was funny wasnt funny whereas im l-a-f-f laffin right now thinking about "he's at home WASHIN HIS TIGHTS!!!!"
― Dr. Yakubius (and what), Friday, 19 December 2008 17:24 (fifteen years ago) link
i watched the pencil scene on youtube back when tdk 1st dropped and didnt get it, maybe its funnier in the context of this boring ass movie full of uptight tards like christian bale and aaron ekhart
― Dr. Yakubius (and what), Friday, 19 December 2008 17:25 (fifteen years ago) link
dude nothing anyone says about this is going to make you laugh because the funny shit his joker doesn't isn't OMG LOOK AT ME I AM WAAAAAAAAACKY HILARIOUS!!! which seems to be what you want out of this character.
― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Friday, 19 December 2008 17:25 (fifteen years ago) link
why dont you see the movie instead of judging it from like 3 clips on youtube

because it looks supergay and i hated batman begins and nobody on this thread can make a good case for it beyond making it sound like the matrix or some shit
― Dr. Yakubius (and what), Friday, 19 December 2008 17:27 (fifteen years ago) link
im sure you've already made up your mind to hate it so maybe dont bother... but way to ruin a movie before you've already seen it!!
― s1ocki, Friday, 19 December 2008 17:28 (fifteen years ago) link
this is like the argument with tuomas, there's a place in the world for both types of films and if you prefer one to the other that's cool but let's not turn this into a "this is not the ethos of the batman" argument except about the joker.
xpost i don't get why you are on a thread, specifically about a movie you haven't seen, because it's weird to come onto a thraed and be like "this other vaguely related movie is so much better i am guessing" tho i guess it wouldn't be ilx without retarded bs all the time.
