Batman Begins

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

I saw it, well, I saw half of it (and not either of the halves you'd think!*), and until I've seen the other half, I can't really comment on it. Looked a little like a blipvert** to me.

*Someone had punched in Ceefax page 606 and taken the remote out of the room!

**But without the exploding couch potato side-effect.

I watched Batman Returns last night - and then I watched the Batman Begins trailer twice.
I even thought about making a Batman Begins thread :D

I hope the movie is long, at least two hours.
I really wanna see Batman and get to know him. Ghaaa

I really think Batman Returns is underrated (allthough I can see why people dont like it).
It's very very Burton-ish. And has alot of sexual.. tension.

Year One, kinda.

Basically they're using it as inspiration, while charting their own new story.

In any case we're being promised The Dark Knight, and not Nipple Batsuits.

I gotta say.. I feel more comfortable with Christopher Nolan, then Joel Schumacher.

I've just read The Killing Joke.
Excellent stuff. Really interesting (I suck at reviewing stuff).

Next up: The long halloween

And how's Year One? Good, great, okey?

Yeah, it looks more like a Bat-tank.
But here's my thought: He's new to all this hero-stuff. Maybe he thought "I'm a ******* hero. I want a big ass tank to scare the crooks!" or something.
I dont know. I think I sound rather silly to be honest :D

Man, I hate reading my own posts. I sound like a buffon.

Anyways... this is what the Scarecrow might look like in Batman. ('it's a walkie talkie by the way)

Scarecrow sketch.

Eh, I'm not digging it. Maybe in the movie he'll look cool and disturbing, but looking at that rather lame toy, and that sketch he just looks silly. It's like, what? A guy in a suite with a bag on his head? I get that every day here on TransFans, you know. I've seen better designs of Scarecrow. Luckily he ain't the main villain. :)

I read a post on another forum. It went a little somthing like this (Run D.M.C :D) "This is just the beginning of Scarecrows carrer, bla bla.. thats why he doesnt have his full costume".

Reasonable enough. I rather dig suits though.

The "i" in "Señior" from "Señior's Covenant" is intentional and part of a stupid & cheesy inside joke from '02. Thank you for your concern.

I saw "Batman the movie" a couple of nights ago, together with two friends.
Awful movie :D

"Quick, hand me the shark repellent batspray!"

What the [composite word including 'f*ck']?! :D

According to imdb.com, Batman Begins will be 134 minutes long.
Seems to me that they are actually trying to make a real movie :) (compared to Alien VS Predator 'action guns hey woooo' 101 minutes).

Impy's just taking the mick-there was a Hellboy discussion a little while ago where he made his feelings about the film known. :)

It's the only existing Batman film I really like—first one has too much devoted to setting the scene, everything after the second has been ****. I like the Batman concept, but find most of the villain roster disinteresting. The same goes for most 'hero' series.

Recurrent villains need a better explanation than perpetual escape from captivity.
