I don't think this Alfred would ever let Bruce let go of Batman, with the exception being a "the jig is up!" scenario a la TDK where they thought they had to reveal themselves.

i thought they hinted at that with the whole "know your limits master wayne"

"batman has no limits"

"but you do sir...."

i don't think alfred particularly likes him doing all this. he sees him as a son.

But later, when Bruce said that Batman can't endure all this, Alfred's like "Take it. Be the outcast." :lol

Joker's scene in Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker that is a flashback may be tied with Ledger's for the epitome of what I think of when I think of the Joker. Darkness and humor all mixed into one.

Agreed 1000%. As brilliant as Ledger is, and as much as I like Dark Knight, I don't think any Joker scene from that movie is as biting as the flashback scene in ROTJ.

What's interesting is how in both movies, Joker ends up compromising the actions of Batman and Jim Gordon, in ways that aren't all that dissimilar. Hell, even Mask of the Phantasm had Joker making Batman compromise his values in a roundabout way. I reckon those who've seen all three will know what I mean. And if you haven't seen 'em, what the fuck are you waiting for?

Go and watch Justice League: Starcrossed too while you're at it.

Talia al Ghul

You've got something there...the groundwork's obviously been laid in Begins. But as effzee said, it would probably take a lot of time to set her up.

Personally I'd love to see Riddler done in a Zodiac Killer-type fashion, where Batman really has to use his detective skills and wits to figure out his play. But I'm probably gonna be cool with whatever Nolan does, so whatever.

I'm just really intrigued to see Batman doing his thing as a wanted felon...how he'd change his approach, his tatics and confrontations, and how'd he'd keep in contact with Gordon if he does at all (Bats wouldn't want to compromise him, but I figure they'd both communicate in some fashion if something big dropped). I wouldn't blame Nolan if he didn't think he could do justice to a third movie though...he'd get plenty of respect from me from walking away from such a guaranteed killing.
 
The scarred serial killer, talia al guhl, and harley quinn are out by default because nolan does not do direct continuations.

I think the next movie should at least have a powerful female role, a villain IMO.

I never felt any connection to Rachel.

Apparently, the academy decided to overturn their DQ of the score. It's re-eligible now.

Sorry if this has been answered, but is there anything exclusive to the collectors edition of The Dark Knight on Blu-ray other than the Batpod? I am thinking about getting it from Amazon, but I am not gonna pay $47 for when I can get the normal normal Blu-ray version for $24. A little small toy Batpod is not worth $23.

Also, I thought the first 45 minutes of Batman Begins sucked (when he was doing all that training) but like the rest of the movie. Which part of it is The Dark Knight more like?
 
Finally saw it yesterday. Good movie. I'm gonna watch it again tonight. I don't know why I'm surprised. I enjoyed Batman Begins as well. PEACE.

I should have done this when spider-man 2 was out. So yea time to enjoy the success of the number 2 of 3 Nolan's Batman trilogy.

Well the movie made more than half a billion dollars domestically, so yea they are making sure The Dark Knight gets its due. Warner is also probably waiting to count the DVD/Blu-ray sales. lol.

Spider-Man 3 is that bad? I loved the first Spider-Man but thought the second was crap.

I liked 3 personally, but if you didn't like the 2nd then you probably won't like the 3rd either.

It's not that bad.

It's worse.

It's far worse.

Spider-Man 2 looks like The Godfather in comparison.

Don't say you've never been warned.

TDK is really nothing like BB. Also, WTF at your comment of Begins. The first half of the movie is the best part.
 
So Nolan is growing his "writing" beard and in another interview mentions that he's only messing around with some outlines for another Batman movie. Something is not adding up, I think they're pretty deep in to another movie.

It was just too boring for me. The only major complaint I have about the second half of BB is that Scarecrow is barely seen in the movie. Scarecrow is in the movie for like 5 minutes (he's only Scarecrow when he has the mask on, without the mask he is Jonathan Crane).

lets not get crazy, it'll probably be January 23rd 2010
it'll take at least a year for Nolan to figure out how to bring Ledger back from the dead
 
About to order the steel book from futureshop to a friends house (im in USA). quick question though, it will work fine in my US PS3 right? and does anybody know if it will have french on the back? i noticed a lot of DVDs from Canada do.

USA and Canada are the same region (DVD region 1 and Blu-ray region A), so yes it will work just fine.

It probably will have French (I am not 100% sure). Because of laws in Quebec requiring everything there to be in French (since they are stubborn about keeping their French past), most companies find it easier just to make something with both English and French for the entire country of Canada rather than make one version for Quebec and one for the rest of the country. It's probably with Nintendo makes all of their Wii games have French on the box too.

if you're in the USA, FYE is sellling the steelbook as well. Don't know if that helps.
 
I have faith in Nolan, take all the time you need to make another great Batman movie. Warner should give him time too, don't try to turn the franchise into another sequel churning machine, you'll lose all the people that made BB and TDK great, and the fans will stop supporting it.

It will work fine. US/Canada is the same region.

There is no writing on the Steelbook at all. It will have a paper insert with the text and UPC symbol, but the picture of the Joker is on the back.

Here's what it looks like:

It'll be available in stores in exactly 9 hours... but once they're gone, they're gone! I remember travelling 3 hours to get Iron Man blu-ray steelbook cause every store ran out and one particular store had one copy left!

Really?

I'm in SC. They didn't show it in the IMAX in Myrtle Beach and I'm not excited about driving over 2 hours to NC to watch it or Chareston. Hope they play it in Myrtle Beach.
 
Okay so what is up with the total lack of interesting special features? Am I missing something? They don't even mention storyboarding or Heath's make-up. Not one comment from any of the actors and no comments about the story itself. What the hell???

Iron Man did a way better job in the special features department.
