Quoted from Scar Tissue Films Unfortunately there's no almost about it for me. I was laughing out loud at the Dark Knight.

Yep. still wish I had've walked out on this movie. it just went on and on. Its the last movie I've seen in a cinema(except for kids films).

I am a huge Batman fan - Burton's first is the best one IMO - but the dark knight wasn't even remotely entertaining. Bale's voice was bearable in Batman Begins but it completely ruined tdk. I won't be going near this new one and hopefully in a few years a decent reboot will be done.

Quoted from Elmer While I think Nolan's films are the best Batman films, Christian Bale is a terrible batman. He's good at playing Wayne, but not Batman. Just terrible. Almost laughable.

Agreed. Christian Bale is best when he's playing an emotionally shallow character. When he has to try and act angry or upset, it just doesn't work. That's not to mention the fact that he has a tendancy to growl. The interrogation room scene (which Rifftrax makes fun of, perfectly) is Christian Bale at his worst in the series, so far.

You can't lay all the blame at Bales feet, the director and actor collaborate on what they want from a character. The idea seems to be that Nolan wants a different voice for Batman and even different facial expression to add to the disguise. I mean, there's only so much a cowl can cover. Hence, Bales growl and snarl as Batman.

The growl was played with in post.  Don't blame Bale for this.

Lol! That was more entertaining and acted better than anything in the original. Should've stopped halfway though as the comic impact faded about then.

new bootlegged trailer is up. catch it now while you still can...

Kind of underwhelming.  The best part of the trailer was Alfred (Michael Caine) and he was on for only a few seconds.

Bane's prolouge is also out:

This just isn't resonating with me... I want a more stylized approach next Batman go around.  

meh...

i hope they use subtitles for Bane...

Looks good - maybe a little too Call of Duty'ish but way better than anything Burton put together when he had his chance (I'm not even gonna mention Schumacher here). Still worried about the inclusion of Catwoman though. Not because of Anne Hathaway (although she sucks) but because it's a ridiculous character.

Edit: Trailer is up over at Apple.

I had trouble getting that link to work, I watched the trailer here.



Bane sounding like a Speak 'n Spell with the flu does not excite me.  

E.D.

Quoted from albinopenguin i hope they use subtitles for Bane...

Don't hold your breath...

It appears Nolan is playing the, "It's my Franchise and I'll Whine if I want to", card.
Granted, he has that right, but the knee-jerk reaction looks a tad petty, IMO.

E.D.

I always try to reserve judgement until I've seen movies, but the Bane prologue felt more suited to a Bond villain intro?
