The Dark Knight Rises
Only 1 year to go before the next film in the amazing series comes out. So because of this I am excited to go see..... Harry Potter. I say that because of the fact that they will be showing the Dark Knight Rises trailer during the Harry Potter movie, which is already worth it, so yeah win win.

I've hated the Batman movies that came out after Batman Returns.

Dark Knight was good. Didn't like Batman Begins though.

I'd really like to know what roles Ledger did that she thinks is better than the Joker.
10 Things I Hate About You? lulz Broke Back Mountain? lulz A Knight's Tale? ROFLCOPTER Casanova? ppfmmppfmmmfffmmm.... Guys, let's remember Ledger for his AMAZING work for being type casted as the dime store romance hunk of 10 Things I Hate About You. I haven't seen Lords of Dogtown, but I'm pretty sure that Skip is not nearly as complex of a character as Ledger's Joker. Honestly... Batman and Batman Returns? Really? It's not surprising you'd think Tim Burton is amazing. It's pretty typical for a goth. |

Is that your face in the avatar? I was always curious about that.

...Oh. Everything makes so much sense now.

I don't see what my looks have to do with what I think of Heath Ledger's movies or his acting skills. I never said Tim Burton is amazing. Quit making assumptions.

You look like a goth. You actually think an inferior set of movies, Batman and Returns is actually somehow better than what Nolan has done.
Chick, I'm not making assumptions. I'm saying that what you find worthwhile and based on your personal image, has a very strong correlation of being kind of typical. When people look at you, they see a goth. When you talk about Batman being better, it's pretty typical of a goth... being that Tim Burton is a very typical idol amongst goths. Do you honestly think we can't make well educated guesses about you based on your strict adherence to the typical Victorian goth aesthetic you're sporting? |
I'm just tired of the franchise overall. We've had a new Batman movie every several years for the past two decades. Not to mention several animated series, a couple more animated series that don't focus on Batman but he's still there (like Justice League), numerous animated direct-to-DVD movies, the on-going comic books, etc.
So, what it all boils down to is... I have no interest at all in seeing this new movie. |
Actually, most people have been far off-base with the assumptions they've made since I've joined the board. No, I don't think that people can make well-educated gueses about me based on an avatar and a profile picture. Tim Burton is not an idol for me. I just happen to like some movies of his that I actually grew up watching. Childhood nostalgia has far more to do with me liking Batman and Batman Returns than any goth associations. For me, they are much better than the ones Nolan directed. I haven't yet seen an advertisement for a movie of his that looks interesting.
Judas, I agree. That probably also has a fair bit to do with it, as well. People just can't let this franchise die. |

I'm not terribly excited, but I'll go see it. What I liked about Dark Knight was the two villains, and I think Two Face was just as great as the Joker. Hate Bale as Batman though, so if Catwoman and Bane aren't amazing its going to be a big disappointment. |

I'll watch it. I can only hope the Captain America movie will do justice to its own source material half as well as Nolan has done with Batman. I have low expectations though. Quote:
I also feel like Anarky was a DC villain that was never explored to his full potential by anyone, sadly. But yeah, DC is basically the Michael Bay of comic books, it's flashy and colorful, but its emphasis on epicness often causes more interesting bits of storytelling, like characterization, to take a back seat.

#2 - I'm sorry, but Heath Ledgers Joker kicks Nicholson's all over the room. Ledgers Joker was more mysterious, more dangerous, more unpredictable, more striking, and more dramatic. This made him not just scarier as a villain then Nicholson's, but also more intriguing, because there were far more questions surrounding him then answers. Not only that, but Ledger's Joker mines the Batman world deeper then Nicholson's, it displayed the incredibly dark and twisted Joker that only those who read the comics were familiar with before the Nolan movie. Now, a lot of that is more or less based on the screenwriter more than the actor, but... whatever. See, I actually do think Burton's Batman is a better movie, but only marginally, and not because of the Joker, I have my own reasons (Burton had better pacing, a better title character, and better scripting). |

Why does the title of this new Batman movie make me think dirty thoughts?

I like DC Comics, they just do shit movies. Mind you Marvel has a ton of shit movies too but Iron Man and the last Hulk was decent. And I thought about it after, and besides Batman, they still got Alan Moore comics! Quote:
Then it was given to Schumacher because comics are for children so it should be more Adam West-ish, right? Also, he uses Jack as an alias in the animated series. Yes it was afterwards but still! And while we're talking about loyalty to comic canon, a pox on Nolan for killing off Two Face. Apparently dude wanted to come back but Nolan was like "no, you really were dead." |

E: Wow someone corrected you before, sorry for going on about it. |
It's okay, Hydro. I didn't have a clue about the Napier thing because I never read the Batman comics. I've only watched the old Batman(Adam West) TV show, the movies and the animated series. For me, Nicholson portrayed the version of Joker that I grew up with. Maybe that forms part of my bias against Ledger's portrayal.
And for all of the cool lines Nicholson had when he played Joker, Ledger had "Why so serious?" Just because someone's opinion differs from yours doesn't mean they are trolling or stupid, sugar tits. ;) |

Seriously, what Heath Ledger role were you thinking of for his "Great" role? The brother's Grimm? Lords of Dogtown? Skip was a minor character at best. A Knight's Tale? You haven't given us an answer-- Where was this "mindblowing" performance that people are ignorant of? The Order? Roar? I need to know. |
If you haven't read the comics then you don't really have much of a basis for judging Ledger's performance. Which was fucking awesome. Or Nolan's adaptations. Which are fucking awesome.
