Yes. Year One will be the premise. This movie pretty much kicks out all the continuity problems caused by the other movies.

Christian Bale and Christopher Nolan. This can\'t be anything but good.

Damn, he will be a lot better than any of the previous batman actors, except Val Kilmer.  Nobody beats Kilmer.  George Clooney was bile inspiring.

Nothing beat the original anyway.  Michael Keaton = the best overall Bruce Wayne, Batman combo.  I hated how they turned the dark atmosphere of the first and (even though it kind of sucked) 2nd one, into the carnival-eque unreal city that Gotham became after Tim Burton left as director.  I mean Gotham went from a New York slum type city to the Unreal, Statues as big as skyscraper, Barnum and Bailey Circus type city that Schumachers produced.

He can without a doubt pull of a convincing Bruce IMHO, but I am not to sure about Batman. I like that they did not go for the biggest name they could attain or choose another teen star.

I am curious how they are going to do this. Are they going to totally forget the Batman timeline? If you remember right it was up for debate wether there was a Batman for the first bit of the film. I think it would be a great concept for him only to don the Batsuit only at the very end of the movie. The rest of the movie have him trying to get a idea of costumes etc....

I sure hope they go back to the gothic look from the first batman with keaton.  Sure, he wasn\'t the best batman ever, he was too shrimpy... but his acting is great, and the dark scenery, and humanity of batman is what made the first one the best movie.

I thought Keaton was too little to be a Bruce Wayne. I mean...he looked like a wimp. The comic book depicted Bruce as a big guy. IMO, Val Kilmer was a better Bruce Wayne.

No one beats Michael Keaton - yeah he wasn\'t built but there is something most of you wouldn\'t know about and it\'s called "screen presence". Michael had this in spades. Val\'s Bruce was top-notch, but his Batman was lacking. Clooney, well Clooney was a f**kin\' diaster that I wish to forget.

With that said, I think Christain Bale will make a decent Batman, but I have no faith in Christopher Nolan, as I wasn\'t a fan of Memento or his previous works.

Is there any news on some kind of plot line? Will it continue from where it left off or will it go back to the very beginning?

You\'re a bit presumptuous, aren\'t you? (oh, wait....you said most, so you can\'t mean me....could you? :p ) Consider the directors. If Val was in the first two movies, he would have been just as great as Keaton in the suit and better as Bruce Wayne. Schumacher fudged up the last one (the script and Arnold\'s puns were awful). I give him a C+ in the third Batmovie.

I dont understand how scarecrow does any harm, a big fan or a match would get rid of him.....hes a bunch of hay in clothing, not that evil.......

They should make the bad guy the penguis&joker, like that scooby doo episode, that was an awsome episode, i think it had riddler in it to but im not sure.

Post by: SirMystiq on September 14, 2003, 07:05:00 PM
But using the scarecrow is going to leave a whole lot of open space for special effects and what not...B/c doesn\'t he mess with people\'s fears?????

I tought all the Batman movies were great, I don\'t really compare them b/c to me they aren\'t sequels. Each one is their own story. Wait...let me correct that, all Batman movies were great except that dog shit Batman and Robin....Damn that was awful...

I would love to see a Batman: Knightfall (based on the book) movie.  But they can\'t really do that, cause they\'ve already ruined bane\'s character.

Anyone else read that batman novel (or the comic series of knightfall)?  If you haven\'t and you\'re a batman fan, you should read it.

I hate you.
The Scarecrow is a normal person who uses drugs to mess with people\'s fear. He just wears an outfit.

We do not need The Joker back or the Penguin. Infact, we don\'t need two villans.

And G-man, Kilmer was a decent Bruce, but a shit ass Batman.
Keaton all the way.

I think part of the appeal behind scarecrow is that he is hyper intelligent, and fear is something that everyone has... and if exploited right, even Batman cannot easily overcome such strong feelings.

I hope, however that they stay with the more classic enemies.  No fantasy enemies with superpowers...

I can\'t be sure, but mm would respond with something along the lines of this:

Doubtful, because if I remember right, MM is one of the few people who agree with me that the original (1989) Batman was a work of art.

One of the FEW?????? Most people agree that the original Batman is the best of the lot.

Alright.  That guess for a statement only applies to the sequels then.

Everybody loves the first one :)  (or at least they should).
