Looking good

Post by **Kaylee** » Mon Jun 13, 2005 2:44 pm

I hope its good. It's about time WB resurrected it after its shockingly bad treatment. Going to be good to see a comic book movie that doesn't rely on a cigar chomping wise-guy, the all american jock, the empathic one etc. etc. (Fantastic 4, X-Men, Hell Boy and so forth).

boo-yaka.

Oh my god. What a great comment

"Holy sardins Batman!"
"Quick, give me the shark repellent batspray!"

I love that film! I HAD to buy it on DVD.
I also liked 'Batman and Robin' - that Arnold, eh? He's a first class actor.
Where are my tablets?

"Holy sardines Batman!"
"Quick, give me the shark repellent batspray! And STOP snorting the President, Robin."
"Shucks."

Interesting, I thought.

I don't have time for a full review so I'll just say the following things:

Best Batman movie ever.

Possibly the best superhero movie ever.

Kinda wished they'd pronounced Ra's and Falcone's names correctly though.

See it.

How the hell do you mispronounce 'Ra'?

Ra's al-Ghul is pronounced (in my head-to-alphabet, anyway) as Raish Al Goo Ull. Isn't it?

Falcone, I expect, would be pronounced as Fal Coe Knee, rather than Fal Cone? Haven't actually encountered that character's name audibly.

I'd think the same on both accounts.

It does tend to help when you were at college with a couple of people called Ra's and Ras, though.

Humourous too, on the odd occasion.

Smooth's word is the law.

Nice review Shax'

On a slight sideways note, I read a review of a tribute film to the camp Batman show. It's like a parody and has Amy Acker in it, I think.
Anybody else heard of this? The DVD review was in 'Model and Collectors Mart' magazine - they have a TF article in most issues too.

Saw it, loved it, and for any londoners interested, the batman suit worn by christian bale in the movie is on display in hamleys for the next 5 weeks. Saw it yesterday, and it looks as good up close. Mind you, christian bale must be smaller than I thought.

This movie kicked more ass then the movies in 1989 and 1992.

Post by **Computron** » Tue Jun 28, 2005 6:05 am

This movie made me feel funny in my pants.

Could this movie have been better cast? Everyone was spot on.

Well save Katie Holmes. Tho I guess we gotta have the eye candy...

Anyways, Scarecrow/Jonathan Crane was perfect, Ra's was an intelligent cold hearted badass, and Christian Bale literally became Batman.

Obfleur · Post by **Obfleur** » Tue Jun 28, 2005 8:13 am

I loved the Scarecrow! I wanna see it again.
I loved how Scarecrow was introduced (or more like, the way he wasnt introduced).
I really thought the Scarecrow would be the main villain of the movie, and that the movie would center around him.
So I was really surprised
