leave room for the sequel, brother. it sounds infinitely better, and it helps that jonathan nolan is helping with the script.

i loved begins, but it had problems. i think they'll learn from their first-timers' mistakes, though.

switch the scores for batman and batman returns and this is pretty close to what my list would look like. maybe drop the original batman to an 8.0.
still, nicholson blowing away jack palance then sitting down in his desk chair, sighing, and saying, "ohhh, what a day," like he just got a flat tire is classic.
Batman Begins: 9/10 (Katie Holmes drags down the movie a bit, and shaky cam + awkward dialog drag it from a perfect score)
Batman: 7/10 (Keaton's great, and Nicholson's worth watching even though he's not really the Joker)
Batman Returns: 6/10 (Michelle Pfeiffer + Michael Keaton made this watchable)
Batman Forever: 5/10 (Meh. Hate what they did to Two-Face, among other atrocities)
Batman & Robin: OMGWTF
I'm reserving a 10/10 for TDK if Ledger pulls off the Joker as well as Hamill did.

Dark Knight will be like 12/10
Man, these spoiler tags kind of suck. It's too long a wait. I have to look. 
Oh man. I can't wait. Give me something.
Damn right. I remember reading an interview with Nolan after casting of Begins - and saying how important he told WB an epic cast was. He's more than delivered on that.

...didn't like the villains? Scarecrow, Ra's, and Falcone are three of the coolest characters from the franchise, ESPECIALLY Scarecrow.

It's not like he died or was defeated at all...in fact I like how they dealt with him more than any other way they've "dealt" with enemies in any of the previous Batman movies.
That's much more Batman like, to me anyway. Batman (or in this case Rachel Dawes to the rescue lawl) stops his main villains, but only slightly.
He's coming back for The Dark Knight...for sure.

Yup. Good stuff, guys.
The Dark Knight, if handled correctly, will completely solidify my growing sentiment that Christopher Nolan cannot make a bad film and is probably the best director under the age of 40 in Hollywood. (Although I still like M. Night Shyamalan.)

it depends on how you see the Burton Batman movie, it was a fine stand alone movie, but if you were a big Batman fan, your opinion would be really changed.
and none of you guys are rating the 1966 Batman movie

Agreed, Nicole Kidman was smokin' hot in that movie.
As for The Dark Knight, outside of Liam Neeson - yes, that is close to the greatest comic book movie cast ever.
Liam Neeson needs to be in more movies. Everything he touches almost instantly becomes a classic, AAA movie.

I assume that's why you added the "almost"
Of course.
Then again, Liam Neeson alone probably bumped even that movie up a couple notches.

Well it doesn't help that I hate Tim Burton with a passion, and I only liked his Batman when I was young and didn't understand quality. Then again some would argue that I still don't understand quality but that is beside the point. :lol

Holy sharkbait/10
bud said:perfect.
the shaky cam did not work at all in begins and holmes...why was she even there in the first place? she was useless, but thank god she isn't going to be in the dark night
Yeah, that's a huge plus. Every ****ing scene she does this little smile out the corner of her mouth and it drove me insane. Because once you see it... well, y'know.
The only scene where shaky cam worked for me was when Falcone was trying to get a look at what the hell was going on at the docks.
I hope there's none of that, "It's what I DO that DEFINES me" or "No, THIS is your REAL mask!" shit in TDK. Batman Returns did both of those lines/scenes in one scene that was the highlight of the film for me (and probably the best scene of the Burton Batmans).

From what I understand, Cillian Murphy isnt returning. Someone else will be playing the role.
The amount of 10's for BB is sickening. Its a great comic book flick, and a darn good movie period, but how anyone can give a perfect score to a movie that becomes a generic and frankly boring action flick in the final act is beyond me. Its almost a 10 BEFORE he becomes Batman though (the first 40-50 minutes is perfection, and easily the best part of the movie), but it descends rapidly into standard action fare once he actually becomes Batman. I think an 8.5 or so is a much more reasonable score.

i hope he just keeps the burlap sack on, then.
Dont take my word for it, but I can recall reading this 1-2 different places. Youll have to find your own source, as I am feeling lazy. So I could be wrong, but I dont think I am.
Also, I must also say that despite usually hating Zimmer and being indifferent towards Newton Howard, possibly my favorite thing about BB is the score. 2 years later and I still love it. People bitch about it lacking a theme like Elfman's score for B89, but screw that.

honestly, adding him to the actors already involved makes the cast seem pretty crowded. i could cherry-pick two of almost any of these guys, and i could watch an entire movie involving just those two. for the sake of experimentation, some random pulls:
- bale and eckhart
- oldman and caine
- freeman and ledger
i mean, if i saw any of those on a movie poster, i'd be really interested. there are a lot of great people involved, and i'm curious how they're going to handle them all in one movie; i worry a lot of people will be criminally wasted (a la madsen in sin city).

yeah, he was pathetic.
i wasn't even wild about him in kill bill. he looks seriously out of work and out of shape, and as much as it fit the role in that, i still couldn't help getting "meta" on the movie and realizing he'd probably just strolled over from the set of vampires anonymous or one of his other paycheck roles.
it's been a while since i thought he seriously rocked.
but that's all beside the point. that t.d.k. cast is loaded, and at some point such a large cast starts to weigh a movie down.

Have they decided on the look of The Joker yet? I like this one (He looks like a twisted, sick ****...which is exactly what he's supposed to look like).
