clearly the tagline should've been "Batman carries on beginning in..." (which, btw, I still can't believe isn't a Raggett thread every single time I see the subject line).

I would stay in and watch it, but my other option is to go to work while 95% of my coworkers go to the reportedly amazing xmas party

I'm surprised at how bright and modern Gotham looks, even compared to Batman Begins. That's not a negative thing, it's just...different.

Huh. Trailer is pretty okay. They seem to be combining Nicholson's Joker with DeVito's Penguin somehow, maybe with a dash of Hannibal Lecter. I can dig it. Batguy looks more like Tom Cruise in every thing I see.
― Doctor Casino, Monday, 17 December 2007 02:56 (sixteen years ago) link
Mostly Nicholson though. Wow.
― Doctor Casino, Monday, 17 December 2007 02:59 (sixteen years ago) link
Yeah, it's definitely a Nicholson-influenced take but not a clone. I've got no problem with that!

Christopher Nolan's IMDB pic is kind of creepy:

Whoo! I do kind of feel from that trailer like I've already seen the whole movie, but I'll watch the full-length just to have more time to gaze at Christian Bale.
― Laurel, Monday, 17 December 2007 19:12 (sixteen years ago) link
I don't see Nicholson there at all -- whereas Jack's Joker was a sadistic, but ultimately aloof, refined villain whose violence was mediated by henchmen or circus-type gadgetry. THIS Joker seems like the type to actually pop out your eyes with his thumbs.

also, not sure the characterization is going to hold up for the whole movie, but I'm really impressed at Ledger's transformation as seen here, especially in the physicality & vocal range. that chirpy "like me!" bit gave me a chill.

Jack Nicholson is apparently "disgusted" by all of this.
― Duane Barry, Monday, 17 December 2007 23:44 (sixteen years ago) link
I am apparently apathetic about what Jack Nicholson thinks of anything. You made "Anger Management," Jacko, and it can't have been for the money at this late stage in the game. Ergo your opinion means precisely shit.

Anyone seen the trailer? I normally don't like Hollywood-type movies, especially comic book movies. But this -- this looks good.
WhySoSerious?
At first, I thought Ledger was a bad choice for the Joker. I might have been wrong.
― Daniel, Esq., Tuesday, 18 December 2007 03:16 (sixteen years ago) link
That full length trailer is pretty special - I love Ledger's take on the Joker, it really feels like he is bringing something different to it which is an achievement in itself. Am very much into his weird intonation and emphasis on words eg. "to them, you're just a freeeek". The tech and action side of things looks like it's been given a mighty shot too, terrific looking Batpod etc.
The first 70 minutes or so of Batman Begins was my favourite part of any film that year, so I have high expectations of Nolan this time round. On this basis he may have pulled it off!
― Bill A, Tuesday, 18 December 2007 14:22 (sixteen years ago) link
The thing Batman Begins lacked -- despite being a really well-made film -- was a compelling villan at the center of it. The Scarecrow character was great, and very creepy, but there just wasn't enough of him in the film. From this trailer, it appears they've solved that problem.
