I'm glad they're holding off on showing the Scarecrow. I won't be able to not look at it, and I'm already too excited for this movie considering it doesn't come out until next summer. I think they've been handling the early PR pretty well with spacing out nice little updates.

Beats Star Wars where even discounting the spoilers and stuff that don't from Lucasfilm, they've still revealed tons and tons of the movie's content.
 
In the first Batman he gets killed by Jack Napier. I take it that is not the case in this movie???

Answer to the above question, do not read if you have not read the script or just don't want to be spoiled.

In this version he is killed by a petty crook by the name of Joe Chill. Bruce Wayne, before he becomes Batman, tries to kill him but Chill gets whacked by one of Carmine's henchmen because he turned state's evidence against him to get an early release from his prison sentence.

nah im just joking man. But this movie should follow the original comic orgin, which is posted above, rather than Burton's change.

Fuck Burton's Batman.

This could be my most anticipated movie ever. Hard to think of a movie I've been more excited about months ahead of it's release. I just hope it can deliver.

Same. The last movie I was this pumped for was The Phantom Menace... uh, wait, I don't want to jinx this!

Damn.. Falcone, Jonathon Crane, and Ra's Al Ghul are gonna be in this? This has got to be a 3 hour movie or thereabouts.

Rutger Hauer? Ever since he creeped the hell out of me in "Phase One" on Alias...shiver.

Cast is fucking amazing.

Always good to see Rutger Hauer. Not only is he a good actor, but he's the only Dutch actor who broke through in Hollywood.

Uhh what did Ra's look like in the comic?

I don't get the monk look. Watanabe has a full head of hair fyi..

EDIT: And I hope the real movie doesn't look as freakin stale as the photo stills do..

There's a new TEASER TRAILER on the site as well. Just access it per normal from the front page. Same voice over as the first teaser but now there's actual footage. Looks AWESOME! :D :D :D :D

What?! How?! I can't get to a trailer. Clicking that button doesn't do anything for me. I must see this!

Edit: Nevermind, pop-up was being blocked of course.

Yeah, what the hell? That trailer doesn't have anything new in it at all. Same exact one as the first.

Are you guys sure? I remember the first teaser I saw being the same voice over, but without any of the current footage. Only of him walking in the snowcapped mountains and his face at the end. None of the stuff at the start when he was a boy or the part where he opens the door...

Maybe my memory is playing tricks on me. >_<

/me blames Nekomimi Mode

It's good. No bat-nipples and fake plastic muscles.

Still dunno wtf is up with their fascination w/ rubber and the bat suit

Batman is supposed to be a fluid fighter, however in every other movie he looks stiff as a board because he can't move around and turn his head.

This doesn't look too much different either.
 
Why the hell cant they just go with a padded out spandex suit?

The Batman: Dead End short proved it CAN be done well. Why must they insist on rubber-bat?

BATMAN: THE RUBBERMAID CHRONICLES! Hit ihm and he bounces back everytime! HE's microwave safe as well!

Supposedly he does have a lot more mobility than the previous batsuits gave. Guess we'll have to see more footage to be able to judge.

100% positive. It was identical to the teaser that was released in the summer.

I dig the costume, and we've already seen more mobility in some of the production stills than was seen in the entirety of Burton's first Batman flick. Should work out great.
 
What is that, neoprene? ...I really hope they come up with something better for Superman.

SPIDER-MAN got it right, Warner Bros! You should be ripping off Acheson's design left and right!!!

IMHO,

The Dead End suit looked good, but only from certain camera angles. In certain shots it still looked awkward to me.

I kind of dig the body armor look, but I hope if they do go with a sequel to this film they'll tighten up the design a bit.

Dead End didn't prove much except that fanboys will wet their shorts if you throw in everything but the kitchen sink.

There's no excuse for the bodyarmor getup, Spiderman's excellent movie costume showed that regular comic book tights work on the big screen when designed properly. How much is this Batman really distancing itself from the Burton/Schumacher flicks when the Batsuit looks practically the same?

And I don't see the point of the velor cape or whatever fabric it's made of. And the mask just plain sucks. This movie doesn't look like a guaranteed surefire winner to me just yet.
