All-Star The Dark Knight (Batman) movie

[Sean Whitmore]

Well, they left out one of the two most important moments of Bruce's childhood - the scene at the grave of his parents where he vows to dedicate his life to combating the evil that took them away - without generating too much outrage.

That's because they replaced it with a scene just as good: Katie Holmes nagging Bruce about crime.




*Cough*

No, I do not.

Me neither. I don't even like the Joker.

Does anyone else...?

No, we're the only two who do not.


Post the pic you want and I'll make it for you.

Hey ladies and gentlemen... I'm BACK with little CLIPS of The Dark Knight from Entertainment tonight.

It sucks that the anchors talk through them but you can hear the Joker quip while he's facing off with Batman in a crazy game of chicken.


Motherfucker... the closer this movie gets the longer away it feels.

Yes, but Batman is tied to his parents. There would be no Batman if not for his parents. Bruce Wayne would've been, for all purposes, normal.

Bond is just Bond. I've never really been a Bondiac, so, I don't know his back story, but it seems like you are just trying to fit a square peg into a round hole with the argument. .

I don’t agree that Bond is just Bond….without the death of his parents. Again referring to the train scene, after Vesper discovers that Bond is an orphan, she says:
“…and that makes perfect sense since MI6 picks mal adjusted young men who think nothing of sacrificing the lives of others to serve Queen and Country.”

Obviously Bond like Batman was traumatized enough by the death of his parents to form the kind of man he was and the kind of spy he became.

Yes
Casino Royale and Batman Begins are what they are...two movies that restarted a franchise. That is all. I mean, exactly who was the Ra's Al Ghul in Casino Royale that taught Bond. (We are just comparing movies I thought.) .

We’re comparing the characters and the methodology of the two films. Not the plot points.

A line or two by Vesper on a train...that isn't an origin for why the way he is. But no one cares about Bond's childhood. Bond isn't about that. You take Batman's childhood away...you have nothing. There is no Batman.

Again I disagree, that entire five minute (or however long it was) scene said very much. It said that Bond was traumatized by his parents and was far more powerful, than after boring scene in BB where we were hit over the head with scenes of Bruce wondering if he measured up to Daddy or wringing his hands out of guilt.

I’d take the subtlety regarding Bond’s character in Casino Royale any day over the pontificating about Bruce’s issues in Batman Begins.

Show me don’t tell me.

I just got my new desktop!

I noticed the cowel attaches to the cape in this image-



But not in the other images.....I always thought the Burton Batsuit looked much more menacing with the thicker neck....even though it is much less moveable, the Nolan bat suit makes his neck look too thin.

It seems they had to sacrifice aesthetics somewhat for the sake of mobility.

[Preus]

I don't mind that. I'd rather he be able to pull off some moves that don't look retarded.

[Jettison]

But why is he stiff necked in that picture? Maybe Nolan thought Bats looked too wimpy standing face to face with Eckart in that scene......The thickness of his neck there DOES make him look much more imposing.....more similar to the animated Bat suit.

[the goddamn batman]

Batman starts the film with the same suit from Begins. He gets the new suit at some point during the film as well as the bat-pod.

Remember kids, escalation.

Well, sure. But it's not as bad as say... Batman Beyond or anything.
