Batman

#

Started by Bad Karma in Chit-Chat

This is probably old news now but Christian Bale is going to be the new Batman,i think this is a good choice.I saw him in American Psycho and Equilibruim and i thought he was good even though both films weren’t great.I really hope they go back to the darker style of the first two films.

Is Christopher Nolan directing it? If so, there may be hope…

I heard that Darren Aronofsky (Requiem for a Dream, Pi) is directing, so it should be worth going to for that alone.

it is darren aronofsky, and the story takes place when batman becomes batman, i.e. when he parents get murdered…

and i’m sure aronofsky will suffer the same fate as nolan… 2 great independant movies that they wrote, followed by a sub-par big budget hollywood movie written by someone else…

Hopefully Christian Bale will do a good job, and the film won’t be the toy advert that Batman & Robin was

A cross between American Psycho and Batman would be even better. Imagine it: “Phil Collins is a very underrated artiste, Robin. Now I’m going to chop your face off with a big axe.”

Yeah the 60’s TV series that was Adam West and Burt Ward.

I don’t know if this has been confirmed but i read Chris Nolan is directing the new Batman film which could be very interesting.I don’t think Darren Aronofsky is attached to the project anymore.

I think Bale will be a much better Batman than Val Kilmer and George Clooney.Micheal Keaten is the best Batman so far.

ok, here’s the story… batman 5 will be directed by nolan… batman: year one (the one i was talking about) is the one with aronofsky, but the rumor is that Warner Bros. didn’t like the direction aronofsky and frank miller were taking the script, so they pulled the plug…

there is also a batman vs. superman movie being planned…

A script by Miller and Aronofsky would probably be considered too dark by Warners which is a shame.
That Batman VS Superman has been rumoured for a while but i can’t see it ever being made,Warners have been trying for ages to get a Superman movie out and its been locked in development hell.I think at one stage Tim Burton was attached to direct with Nic Cage as Superman.

The rumour I heard about Batman V Superman was that it was going to be the superman movie, with batman in it. However, Tim Burton wanted Michael Keaton as Batman but George Clooney was under contract with Warner. So that was the end of that!

Has anyone here read the graphic novel Batman vs Dracula?I think it would make a cool film especially the ending.

So, who’s seen it?

I just got back and man, I thought it was awesome - I was totally giddy all the way home. First bit where he’s doing all the training and the flashbacks are a bit cheezycore but once he becomes Batman…fookin’ hell!

Go see Batman Begins - say it really fast 8 times. Nobody in the pub could, but we’re a bunch of pissheads.

I really hope they don’t do Batman/Superman. I think they got it just right with this one and it needs to continue. Preferably with more nudey Christian Bale.

In the original Batman, did the Joker kill Batman’s parents?

Nah Batman vs Superman was canned for this one.

In the movie the joker killed his parents, not sure about the comics. Dont think so.

Joker did kill Wayne’s parents in Tim Burton’s version, but that was made up to tie Joker into it all a bit more cleanly.

A weird coincidence but I just got back from seeing Batman Begins too and it was great. Loved the modern but gothic feel of the city, and I now want a cinema’s sound system!

Yeah the special effects were excellent, that was well scary. I can’t believe my mate actually fancied Cillian Murphy, aka scary blue-eyed Scarecrow freaky guy. I’m gonna have nightmares about him.

Is that out on vid yet? I really wanted to see it but didn’t get chance. You should definitely go see Batman, CB is awesome.

I thought the ‘we’re waiting for back-up’ cop was LL Cool J but the IMDB is denying me - what’s he from, then cause I recognised him.

edit: Ronan Leahy - never heard of him. But he looks really like LL Cool J…

I’d forgotten i posted this topic it’s been so long,i saw Batman Begins a couple of weeks ago and i really liked it.This is the way all Batman films should be and i’m glad they’ve binned all the campness of the previous two films.

campness can be good, if its extreme campness like the original batman series

I don’t mind the old 60’s TV show but the last two Batman films were shockingly poor.I really hate them.
The cast of Batman begins are brilliant and i think Christian Bale is the definitive Batman now he really looks the part.
