Batman - The Dark Knight

stretford_oslo · 5th May 2008, 21:08

New trailer: http://whysoserious.com/happytrails/trailer.htm

I can't wait. Christian Bale is such an awesome actor and I think Heath Ledger has made a Joker even Jack Nicholson would be proud of.

Looks amazing. Cannot wait til my exams are over, it'll be one of the first things I go to see.

KeyserSoze · 5th May 2008, 21:33

Im looking forward to this film. Looking forward to Ledgers performance, i thought Nicholson was spot on as the Joker.

Slevin · 5th May 2008, 21:55

Looks AMAZING :|

Nobody is going to be able to replace Heath it seems, from the trailer, he looks to be a better Joker than Jack Nicholson

There's about a thousand threads on this.

Kleenex for Men?

I read the Legends of the Dark Knight series/Halloween Specials and always dreamed of this story to be told instead of the bubble gum version as portrayed at first.

The combination of Christopher Nolan and Christian Bale to begin with in this series of films was sheer genius. Its payed off so far with Batman Begins and I can't see this one being an different, not to mention the best Joker role looks to be leaning towards the late Heath Ledger if he's as good in the entire film as he is in the previews.

I will be at the first showing and will report back on it without a doubt. My favorite graphic novel becoming a film was V is for Vendetta, but the Dark Knight series was always a dream of mine to see pan out and now its going to the sequel. I hope they stay as consistent through however many Nolan and Bale are signed on for, if they start to suck I'll be pissed.

The trailer they show for it before Iron Man is awesome. Can't wait for it!!!

Completely agree, Bale is a great Batman, that said I liked Sin City far more than V for Vendetta and cant wait of the sequel of Sin City that is

V for Vendetta was a great film and I was absessed with the graphic novel series for many years. There were many reasons for this, but I'll let the creator answer it for me...

Moore stated in an interview:

...the central question is, is this guy right? Or is he mad? What do you, the reader, think about this? Which struck me as a properly anarchist solution. I didn't want to tell people what to think, I just wanted to tell people to think, and consider some of these admittedly extreme little elements, which nevertheless do recur fairly regularly throughout human history.

I'll say no more, well ok a bit more. Natalie Portman played Evey well and Hugo Weaving played V fantastically, not only that but Steven Rea was fantastic as Chief Inspector Eric Finch. I love his music in the film, Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture, while Parliamant explodes! Love the film.

Sin City is brillant as well, BTW, and I'll be there for any sequel day 1!

wancolos · 6th May 2008, 11:42

Should be brilliant this.

Easily the most anticipated movie this summer for me personally.

Van Piorsing · 6th May 2008, 12:59

This is gonna be stunning movie.

Loved Tim Burton's movies about Batman, but I feel that Nolan's saga can be even better.

Can't wait.

Dev · 6th May 2008, 14:03

July should be good month for movies. Hancock gets released too !

D J Dog Toffee · 6th May 2008, 15:21

One of my students let me in on this, that the new trailer and the original one from the '89 Burton Batman are almost identical.

I found the link, but my PC doesn't seem interested in playing videos today for some reason, so I'll share and leave it to you to decide.

I hope the movie won't...

Wow they're almost perfectly in sync. Good find.

Maroon Lucifer · 6th May 2008, 15:47

It makes Burton's angles look absolute shit!

One of my HNC students just pointed it out one day in class. Maybe it's an homage, I have no idea.

Seconded. I am a huge Batman fan and am so pleased with what Nolan is doing.

KeyserSoze · 6th May 2008, 19:35

The two videos are almost perfectley in sync.

Garethw · 6th May 2008, 19:47

It sounds as though we are going to see Harvey Dent become Two Face in this one aswell. Aaron Eckhart (Actor playing Dent/Two Face) has said that Nolan is going to shock a lot of people with his vision of Two Face.

Sounds as though this Batman movie is NOT going to be kid friendly! Sweet!

The_Red_Hope · 7th May 2008, 05:23

I'm seriously up for this one. Haven't been this excited about a movie since LOTR.

Can't wait for this. Been looking forward to this since Batman Begins. Easily the best movie of the year this will be.

Garethw · 17th June 2008, 17:13

Saw a photo of "two face" the other day on IMDB.

Don't know if its legit but it looks pretty gruesome.

Dark Knight is easily going to be film of the year!
