Can't wait to see this movie.
I loved X-Men, especially the second one. It never disappointed me. My favourite characters (Wolverine, Rogue, etc.) were developed really well.
One example is when Pyro takes a look at Iceman's (or whatever his name is) family photos and just by the look on his face you can tell what kind of family he had.
I just hope that the third movie is just as great, even though it'll be a different director. I hope Gambit and Beast will be in it. Apparently Haley Berry was only coming back if Storm had a larger part, so they're trying to come up with a bigger part for her.
I don't care much for Spiderman, especially when it comes to Tobey McGuire and Kirsten Dunst. *barf

Got too see the movie yesterday. Very good it was to.

It was fantastic. Dark, moody and true to the Dark Knight character. I felt that the history of his studies in the east was perfectly in line with his dark and mysterious persona and his skills. They succeeded in making him more frightening than comical. One of the best movies I've seen in a long long time. Highly recommend it.

i am a huge spider-man fan and i also love batman, i trully want to know why the batman begins was better than spider-man?
with spiderman that movie brought reality to the character setting him in our real time....as a bigtime comic reader collector and just sttraight out encyclopedia of useless comic info how does this movie stand out amonst the rest that have come out previous, and i mean every single comic book film out there, spider-man was one of the all time best to re-create this medium into our real time lives, and kept true to the origin of the character cept for bio-organic webbing everything else was dope™! this batman does feel and look more realistic to our dark gotham and from the commercials i have seen shows him as a dark minded character, now i only hope it makes sense and doesnt use the same comic book cliches going into film.
so if you have seen it already how do you feel toward this question?
oh yeh dont give away anything as most of us didnt see it yet!!!
thanks!!

Saw this last night at the IMAX - it's totally great and pretty overwhelming on the super-sized screen. Londoners - I recommend!

Wow, I agree with v3 about something.
I also love the darkness of Batman, and the fact that Gotham City is one of the few things that can creep me out in classic media.
I've seen some good sequels, such as Spiderman, but for the most part they suck.
The trend now is making old television shows into movies. There's already The Dukes of Hazzard, The Honeymooners, The Pink Panther, Herbie: Fully Loaded, The Bad News Bears, and The Longest Yard. Plus, I heard they're thinking of remaking more, such as I Dream of Jeanie.
The only one I would consider seeing is Bewitched.
Comic book movies are still in too.

Christian Bale as Batman is something I'm looking forward to. Plus, the reason why Batman is so appealing is the very fact that he's more like us compared to other superheroes, such as Spiderman or Superman. Batman is basically just a regular guy.
Thank goodness Katie Holmes isn't in it much, because her acting sucks.

also, everyone is comparing it to spiderman like it's the only superhero movie out there. how does it compare to x-men and the like?
- e-pill0
x-men and the rest...x-men wasnt as good and it can not be compared with batman or spiderman because it attention is on too many separate characters, and thus character build can not take place in one film making it a useless comparison...but if you compare it to the worst/ best comic book flick out which was the original punisher with dolph ludgren...that movie was possibily the worst comic to film ever created, but it holds the highest marks of character build and character origins kept with original making it the best of its kind, spider-man was the first comic to film to break that mold, that is why spider-man is the comparison.
my opinion, i hope it makes sense!

all i have to ask is who do y'all think is gonna play the new Joker?
- e-pill0
bruce banner™?
- SteveJobs0
i think i see what you're saying, but it was kind of exciting to see all the x-men for some of its character development. wolverine, magneto, pyro..
not surprised that travesty, catwoman, hasn't been mentioned. some movies, it just makes sense not to see. (Electra included).

i'm not a huge batman fan either.
but, if you have quicktime 7, you gotta love the HD trailer.
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/h…totally redefines how we're gonna view movie trailers online.

"Now, the question is, with the foreshadowing of the Joker card at the end, does anyone figure they will make another one with Bale that remakes the original Batman with Michael Keaton?"

I don't think it is directly setting up for a sequel. It fits the story great since they are talking about how when the police use bullit proof vests the criminals get armour peircing bullits. Gorden was warning Batman that becuase he was using tactics of creating a "legend" the criminals will counter. It also gives validity to the continuation of Batmans legacy.
...oh and Great f'in movie... flaws aside.
