This movie is the fuckin' shit period. No questions asked. As Comic Book Guy would say on the Simpsons, "Best (comic)movie ever!"
See this fuckin film ya'll. See it, fuck everything else. See it. Bale is Batman homey, for real.

yeah im hearing amazing things about this movie.
-
its all true. when he speaks in that suit, you know he is the real batman. I saw the 12 midnight show and it was worth it. People were clapping, screaming and yelling at the end of the movie.
-
Sounds like it should be superb, heard good thing about & it looks good
Need to check this out at the w/e
-
might check it out. not at the top of the list for summer releases for me though.
-
Im not really eager to see this movie since every Batman movie was a huge let down,all of them sucked.But since Im hearing only good things about this part I might actually see it.
-
This movie stands on its own, period. Nothing like the other films.
-
7:25pm @ AMC 16 theaters in Burbank, botches.
-
I'm gonna watch it..i heard it's based on the Year One ..should be good 8)
-
its heavily based on year one, they were actually gonna call the movie 'batman: year one'
-
i'll sit down and rape you while Overseer video tapes you...
-
ebert gave it 4/4 stars, peace.

If you guys dont have this film at the top of your summer list then your going to be missing not only the best Batman movie, one of the best comic adaptations, but one of the best films of the year. What makes this movie good? Well for me it has to be how Batman's story was told and directed. The kid Bruce Wayne did a very good job. Also, the movie doesnt seem like a comic bookbut it plays more like a serious film with a shitload of action and a very dark feel to it. Just cool
Check out the great reviews at Rotten Tomatoes

GREAT FUCKIN MOVIE...the opening scene gave me goosebumps
Finally...a Batman movie we fans can be proud of.
-
this movie fuckin rocked, i'd caught it at midnight.
-
Great movie, I just got back from seeing it. They changed a lot of things for the better, which I was happy to see. The batmobile which I was at first skeptical about, was pretty cool.
SPOILER:
I like the subtle changes they made, to make it more true to the comic. For instance, Batman doesn't whisper all the time now, he yells and screams in people's faces, that's the Dark Knight from the comic books, less mysterious, but more aggressive. The touch at the end with Gordon was of course what I was waiting for the whole movie (particularly during the Arkaham escape), so that was nice. Ultimately I think it was brave to use Ras al Ghul as your lead villian, I can't believe they pulled that off so well, because he's so un-comic... you'd think they'd stick with guys like the Scarecrow and such, but they pulled it off very well. Michael Caine is perfect as Alfred. Morgan Freeman was a delight to watch, like always. Bale pulled it off, too. The only real qualm I have with the movie is I'm not crazy about the design of the new mask, but eh.
-
The new mask does make his face look fat, but whatever, great fuckin movie. I actually like it better than the first Batman. The new joker won't be able to top Jack Nicholson, but it will be a great movie. Best movie of the summer so far. We gotta see how War of the Worlds plays out.
-
i think that this new joker will be written like the REAL joker from the comics and not some over the top cat. this next joker like the new batman is one for the books if they cast whose been mentioned.
-
I dunno, I think the Joker from the comic books is much more over the top than Jack Nicholson was.
-
i read in the paper that mark hamill is down to play the joker in the follow up.. he already does the voices for the cartoon
-
Thank god, finally more work for him. That would be great!
-
he's always worked.. just a lot of TV and voice stuff especially cartoons.. he's done some quite big toon roles... . :(

Who's the "real" Joker? Over the past 65 years between Batman issue 1 where Joker debuted and Batman issue 615 where Joker supposively kills Batsy's childhood friend, where Bats almost kills Joker, the Joker character has changed so many times. There is no continuity over the past 60+ years. They could make the Joker anything from a soft spoken pure evil maniac to an laughing clown that is more or less harmless and still claim to be true to the comic. As long as it works in the next movie, I'll be fine with it.
-
^ all the old comics are irrelevant because it's pre-crisis.
Anyways, Mark Hamill would be good for it, but O all he's done is a bunch of Cartoons! I'm talking real video acting, not voice acting. It'll be cool to SEE him again.
-
oh he did that game.. Wing Commander.. it was weird seeing him in that!..
poor guy's typecast as luke skywalker...
even worse.. he opted to be paid for star wars instead of getting a percentage as he thought the film would flop!... doh!!!
-
so is there going to be another one, am i gettting that right, peace.
-
^ The percentage thing is the way to go! I didn't know they did that back then.
Tom Cruise made a fortune off of Mission Impossible by doing it that way, then Will Smith did it the same with with Ali.
-
think this one will be better then the `1st?
-
the 2 first batman movie was pretty dope,they where directed by Tim Burton and when they change director...it fell off
-
its ight but they need a superman remake

OUCH! I'm sure the guy is doing fin financially, but looks back at that decision and gets pissed.
-

Yeah, I'd even say it's better than the first, if you can believe that. It's really good.
-

they're already making Superman

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
My point was that any Joker that they use that has roots in the history of the mythology is better than what Tim Burton did. Joker never killed Btaman's parents. As far as a story idea, i hope that they use some of the story from the "The Killing Joke" to explain his character. That was the best Joker origin ever, IMO.
-
killing joke is great :)
that shit with the beam of light is nuts..
-
Seer, I can just see Batman and Joker talking at the carnival with Joker dead serious delivering lines.
-
man its been years since i read that book..
i read Dark Knight Returns again not too long ago.. i'm in the process of decorating at home, and soon i'll have my lil collection of graphic novels accessible again :)
I should read "a death in the family" again too
-
this movie was great im so glad they took it back to being more dark and gothic i fuckin hated the last few movies with that futuristic bright ass light shit.......although i really enjoyed this movie.... it does not beat the first film with the joker that movie is a classic and always will be......that casting was perfect the director was amazing one of my favorites.......i just hope if they do make a second one with the joker that it lives up to the first one........but so far this last one has........great film. im happy i can acctually enjoy a batman film once again.
-
Damn I cant wait to see this, Im going on Monday.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
that would be my number 2 all time Joker story. He was bad as fuck in that one!
-
"Begins" definitely saved the franchise. The movie is dope.
I gotta get me one of those briefcases and a potato-sack mask. :o
Two thumbs up.
Not better than the first Batman though.
-
random fact.. did ya'll know that new batmobile was made in england..
everyone in america said it was impossible to build with the way they wanted the front axle...
also.. has anyone of you who has seen this, seen The Machininst? coz dude was fucking WEIRD in that movie
-
the film was sick!
i like the way they like made it believable, its on par with the 1st in my opinion.....cuz that was more comic feeling but this was like made in a way it wouldnt even have to be a comic book, like u couldnt tell, but its what kinda made it sick without goin away from wat batman is....
oh and i agree with wat other cats said, when i first saw the batmobile i wasnt sure but once he started coastin it like a muthafucka i was on some "dayyyum i gotta cop me one of those!"
oh and katie holmes was on some other shit, after all the shit he did, she still bitchin!
sick film tho still........

Wasnt This Ment To Be A Prequal??? I dont think they are going to make another batman...
-
that would suck, but like a few other people said the first two batmans are still the best ones
overall this movie was pretty damn good, the only beef i have with it is it got a little slow at times
-
also.. has anyone of you who has seen this, seen The Machininst? coz dude was fucking WEIRD in that movie
Watched that last night. Unbelievable movie.
