Saw it last night at midnight. Total waste of time. The beginning was great, then when the crime fighting began it was like watching law and order batman style.

Shut up Joker.

You my friend, are a complete jackass.
You don\'t read the comics obviously.
-

You watch Law & Order? :ghey:

Anyone see it and like it? I\'m looking forward to this one.

thats not funny... please tell me your full of donkey shite.
-
It\'s fuckin fantastic.
If you like action films, you\'ll like it.
If you like drama, you\'ll like it.
If you like superhero films, you\'ll like it.
If you likes the comics, you\'ll LOVE it.
Honestly, I\'m a huge Batman fan, love the comics, animated series and Burton\'s \'89 vision, but after Nolan\'s take on the character, I can\'t look back. I will go see it again Friday with my G/F and then yet again SATURDAY .
-
oh my sweet jesus
this movie was perfect if you can handle a few katie holmes monologues
halberto is just upset because the batman suit didnt have those fabulous nipples on them and there is no hit song by a famous pop group on the soundtrack and cause the dialog wasnt cheesy and the acting was actully good
-
i also just found out about the sequels
[sp]"The next one would have Batman enlisting the aid of Gordon and Dent in bringing down The Joker...but not killing him, which is a mistake they made in the first one," Batwriter David Goyer tells the latest issue of U.S. movie magazine PREMIERE. "In the third, the Joker would go on trial, scarring Dent in the process."[/sp]
thats from the director
-
This movie was without a doubt what every mature old school Batman fan has been waiting for. Who is Bruce Wayne. What made him Batman.
It\'s the perfect Batman movie. [sp] It surpringly, it has one of the best car chases I\'ve ever seen.[/sp]
-
I love how they explained everything. Anyone who knew he was Batman, knew for a reason. I also loved how Alfred made Bruce play up the billionare playboy aspect.
Great fucking movie.
I am curious as to what MM will say. I know he was a fellow lover of Burton\'s \'89 film. I know after Batman Begin\'s, I can\'t even watch \'Batman\' the same way.
-
I am the biggest Batman fan here. Everyone should go back to Power Rangers.... ;)
-
I\'m glad to see good reviews from you guys. I gotta see it this weekend. Go back to your cage, Halberto! Who let you out, anyway?
-
oh man, gotta love how the bat geeks jump on people who have a different opinion about a batman movie..
haven\'t seen the movie yet. Will see it tuesday next week. :)

Not only us "geeks", but critics say it has a chance of being film of the year. It is that good. It caters to all demographics.
-
Yet, there will be some that don\'t like it. Do u really care what they think?

If you don\'t like it, I\'ll care enough to grab your junk and tie it a knot. ;)

Then, i don\'t like it.

I know i probably do this too much but it makes me feel all tingley due to the fact that that whole sequence was shot here. That and a few good parts of the movie. Stupid i know. I just wish i would have caught them filming it.
Anyway, I saw it last night and it was f*ing awesome. I was pretty skeptical, especially when i saw the tumbler. I though it looked rediculous but had i been me today, i would have slapped myself for being so stupid. That and i thought Bale was going to make a terrible batman but i was wrong about that too.
IDK, theres just so much to say about the movie. The special effects were good too. [sp] The first time i saw the effect on scarecrow i thought that was a nice touch. I mean he asks to pull out his mask and i was like wtf? and then bam. Didnt know what to expect but everything was done very nicely. Good stuff. The effect it had on Batman wasnt bad either.[/sp]
The only problems i kinda had with the movie (and [sp] tag these if you think they are a bit much) were the way Bale had to purse his lips and talk all grundgy as batman, and the fact that Gotham didnt really resemble Gotham in ways that it had been portrayed before (though ive grown to like the simplicity and realism of this one). I do realize that there are a few reasons for doing the voice thing too but it was just sort of odd the first couple of times.
This is getting too damn long.
Kickass movie though.
-
Wait, when did Batman Begin?
-
Wow I can\'t believe all these people loved it. I literally started falling asleep during it.

Enough of your demon speak. You be quiet and go back to your corner! Also...don\'t go to a midnight showing next time you tard.

I felt tempted to go to a midnight show.
I\'ll probably go Sunday morning, maybe Saturday.

You are in the minority. Critics and people are loving it. Walking out of the cinema, I heard people saying "that was kickass", something that I never hear.

You fuckin post whore, what does that have to do with anything?
;)

I saw it, and it really was amazing. They kind of did what Spiderman 2 was attempting which is more focus on the main character and his faults/strengths.
I like how they changed stuff to make it more realistic. The Batmobile is no longer a sports car, Gothon City is just a regular big city, it all works.
-
I don\'t see whats not to love about it.
-
Batman didn\'t get it on with katie holmes with his batsuit on (fantasy)
That\'s what there is to not love about it.
-
Burton approached the character in a fantasy setting. He wanted Gotham to be timeless and Batman to be a monster that stalked the night.
Nolan approached the character in a realistic setting. He wanted Gotham to be a mix of all our cities. For Batman to be a myth that stalked the night.
Two different approaches, personally, as much as I love Burton\'s, I prefer Nolan\'s vision.
-
THIS FILM IS FRIGGEN FANTASTIC.
BEST COMIC BOOK MOVIE E V E R
honestly, ITS FRICKEN FANTASTIC.
I also love the way it goes for 2 1/2 hours, I hate short 90 min movies that skimp on details.
LOVED IT.

better than glitter?

finally saw spider man 2 on cable last week,..wow excellent movie..haven\'t seen sin city yet, and looks like i\'m gonna have to see this one as well....trailers looked pretty impressive....
-
Im going to drag the woman out to see this one tonight I hope.. Right after we go to Universal Islands of Adventure for a few hours ;) I love my Annual pass.
-
Spider Man 2 bit ass.
-
Spider-Man 2 was a lot better than the first one. What I hated about it was the fact that they jam-packed 300 issues of Spider-Man into one f*cking movie. :/ That pissed me off a bit. Tobey McGuire also isn\'t a very good Spider-Man...so that didn\'t really help anything. But there were some incredible scenes in that movie...like the whole train thing. *insane*
-
damn LIC, you didn\'t like spider man 2? i thought it was aight..the fight scenes imo i thought were excellent...straight out of the comic...evi, i think they could\'ve picked a better peter parker, but toby did ok. the fantastic 4 is lookin impressive too...i\'m not too sure about the doom character tho..
-
Roger Ebert had it at number 4 on the best movies of 2004...nuff said.

Marvel has not made a truly good movie.
X-men = A subpar film. THe characters was changed to much. The action was dull and the acting was pathetic.
X-2 = A better film, still the pacing was terrible and acting had not improved.
Spider-Man = Pathetic outfits and bad casting all around.
Spider-Man 2 = A tad better, but still pathetic . Sam Rami has always been a hack director and it shows when he takes on films with a big budget.
Daredevil = Decent. If it wasn\'t for the Elektra character, it would of been better.
The Hulk = Ang Lee was not the one to direct this. The story is convulted also.
Elektra = God awful.
Punisher = Uhm......yea.
On that note, I am goin\' to go watch Batman Begins yet again.
;)
-
Saw it earlier this evening. It was certainly good, but I wasn\'t as impressed as I was hoping to be. Like Halberto, there were a few times I was simply bored of what I was seeing.
I thought Bale\'s portrayal of Bruce Wayne was excellent, but I hated him as Batman... He did not fit the character while in the suit, in my opinion, and his dialogue was laughable and boring most of the time. There were a few instances when he conveyed his lines with the dark emotion I expected ("Swear to ME!") and those were some of the best parts of the movie.
Also, Cillian Murphy was a PERFECT Dr. Crane. Really nailed the part. Same with Michael Caine as Alfred. I constantly thought those two were the stars of the movie when they appeared on-screen. And being a Morgan Freeman fan, I can\'t complain with what he offered. Overall, a fantastic cast.
I just wish the Batman character had more... substance. Bruce Wayne certainly did, but I just didn\'t feel it when he threw on the costume. Meh. 7/10.
-
i still cant get over this movie
i loved almost every minute
little dissapointed that the 3 days they spent filming by my house only turned into like 30 seconds on screen
i especially liked the nod to the first batman movie when he [sp]pulls[/sp] the guy out of the [sp]car[/sp] and the [sp]guy[/sp] says "what are [sp]you[/sp]?" "I\'m [sp]batman[/sp]"
and yes i like being [sp]annoying[/sp]

out of all those movies, u give credit to the worst of them. Daredevil..
the shame.
-
Saw it a second time and it was still damn good.
-

I was a little confused by that as well. Daredevil is possibly the WORST Marvel film I\'ve ever had the misfortune of watching. Everything about it was wrong. I mean...for sh*t\'s sake, the Kingpin was black. Now...I\'m a big fan of Michael Clarke Duncan, but the Kingpin is a fat, bald white guy, always smokin\' a cigar. I guess they couldn\'t find a white mofo big enough to play Kingpin, so I guess they just went with Michael. He\'s a freakin\' elephant. Heh...now that I think about it, he\'s probably the only part of the movie I enjoyed. But switching around comic book characters\' nationalities throws everything into a funk.
Bullseye...what a joke.
Ben Affleck is just a douche. I can\'t stand anything he does. Such a horrible actor that is completely overrated.
Saw it a second time and it was still damn good.
Hopefully I\'ll see it this weekend. I can\'t wait any longer.
-
When did Batman Begin?
-
How violent is the movie? I didn\'t take Logan to see Star Wars because of hte body parts flying, but he\'s seen all the Harry Potters and Spidermans. I would like to take him to see it if I can. Otherwise I\'ll just wait and let him see it at home.

Hmph.
I mean it has fight scenes - but no blood and the fight scenes are edited so fast, you can\'t see what is goin on.
However, the Batman in this movie is more of a monster. I mean, he grabs people from the shadows, etc.

gotta agree with you there. i didn\'t think too highly of daredevil.
"Ben Affleck is just a douche. I can\'t stand anything he does. Such a horrible actor that is completely overrated."
tru again. i tried watching a few of his joints, but he is just a boring actor, even his action films are sleepers.....
-
Ben Affleck rocked in \'Chasing Amy\'.
\'Daredevil\' wasn\'t *that* bad. It wasn\'t the greatest, but it was at least somewhat faithful to the comics, unlike per say X-men.

i can see some of your points as far as the x-men are concerned...one thing i didn\'t like was how they made rogue & colossus (spel) so young...
-
mmmmmm mmmm
Very enjoyable movie. Great action, excellent story, perfect acting, and some genuinly funny parts. How can you complain?
Well, I suppose my biggest complaint was that there just wasn\'t enough. :) I wanted to see Batman stalking people from the shadows a bit more, I wanted to see Scarecrow in his mask a whole lot more, and well.. just everything. :)
Oh, and I also wanted to see Batman (or even Bruce) fleeing a scene saying; "I have to return some videotapes!"
-
Better than valkimer and clooney.
Not keaton. And trying to make batman an englishman:nut:
No batman will ever top the one with keaton and jack.
This was still good. And very hardcore for batman freaks(LIC)

Uhm.
No one tried to make Batman an englishman. And even if they did - how can you complain about that and love \'89? This was the most faithful adapation of the comics, where as \'89 was at most , an Elseworlds tale. So the complaining of a supposed englishman accent just loses me.
Don\'t get me wrong, I still have a soft spot for Keaton as Batman, but I have realized that someone has finally topped him.. Then again, I am partial, I have already seen it twice (took a vacation day from work Wensday to see it!) and I plan on see\'ing it at least three more times before it leaves the cinema\'s, if not more. I never do that for a movie.. I mean, I loved Sin City, but I had no desire to keep see\'ing it.
Oh, and I also wanted to see Batman (or even Bruce) fleeing a scene saying; "I have to return some videotapes!"
HAHAHA!
Classic.
-
None of the bad guys were unbelievable like Jim Carrey\'s "blender with searchlights hidgeout in the middle of the sea". Scarecrow was just one man using a chemical gas to make his victims panic. And the thugs weren\'t his men but they belonged to a cult. Scarecrow just happened to be a puppet they had to follow.
No over-the-top villains. No over-the-top anti-hero. Batman was a newb and was still getting his butt kicked most of the time by Liam.
Character development? Oh man. From kid, to angry college brat to thug to Batman. And I did like Katie Holmes\'s line. Bruce Wayne is a mask...while the real person was Batman, whom she truly admired.
-
i can see some of your points as far as the x-men are concerned...one thing i didn\'t like was how they made rogue & colossus (spel) so young...
I still enjoyed X-Men a LOT more than Daredevil. Despite all the obvious flaws. I was just glad to finally see it on the big screen. Colossus being young didn\'t bother me. Colossus being a white frat boy bothered me. He\'s freaking RUSSIAN!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
I watched this with a couple of friends...
Wow, what a fantastic movie. Although Bale\'s Batman voice sounds a bit off.
-
I just got back from the movie. It was damn good, from beginning to end. That was just...friggin\' awesome. I officially put Halberto on my list of people not to listen to about movies. Maybe you got drunk and walked into Herbie thinking it was Batman, that\'s the only explanation I can give for you not knowing what you\'re talking about. Of course...everyone is entitled to an opinion. ;)
Although Bale\'s Batman voice sounds a bit off.
A little, yes. But he was so cool it didn\'t matter.
-
I enjoyed the movie, but I did almost nod off a couple of times..
I caught the 10:10 show, which may explain that partially.
-
You guys should stop going to late shows. That seems to be the problematic trend.
-
I slept through parts of Star Wars at the midnight show.
I want to see Batman pretty bad after all this talk.
-Dan
-
I admit, first time, it seemed like a lot of talking, but then again, I was watching it within a grand total of one hour\'s sleep, after working 12 hour the night before. Second time around, I was even more amazed.
-
I\'ve been waiting to see it at IMAX.
Jar O Pickles and I are apparently going next weekend.
-
He\'ll meet you there at 10-am.
Have fun in New Orleans.
-
"and I did like Katie Holmes\'s line. Bruce Wayne is a mask...while the real person was Batman, whom she truly admired."
such a rip off of Kill Bill 2\'s best line. :(
Superman wakes up every morning as Superman, while Clark Kent is his perception of the human race, or something like that.
-
They don\'t quite mean the same thing..
-
Cark Kent is gay.

Originally posted by Bobs_Hardware

That\'s correct. They don\'t mean the same. Soup-boy\'s interpretation of humans is a near-sighted bumbling coward. Bruce Wayne has to put up a facade that he\'s an arrogant billionare....to hide his true identity.
-
Different masks, same idea. Still a rip off!
-
keep trying to see it but then something comes up when im about to head out. But ill see it eventually...
kinda off topic but has anyone tried the game? screenshots looked alright but gamespot had a below average score for it and there are mixed reviews. not sure whether to check it out or not.
-
saw it last night, liked the movie just didn\'t like the voice bale puts on when he\'s batman.
-
wtf is everyone problem with the voice he put on?
Swear to ME! Fuckin\' A..
-
bale batman voice on "I need to go to the toilet NOW!!, This F@#KEN constipation is killing my ASS!!"
sorry, i just found it over done... pretty much the entire group of mates i went with thought the same thing.
-
A young and inexperienced guy is trying his hand at crime fighting, by playing mysterious, dark, brooding, dearful, intimidating characters who haunts the city.. I think it\'s understandable if he sounds a bit cartoony.
-
Anyone else get giddy when [sp]Gordon handed Batman the Joker\'s calling card? And I like how his crime was not over the top. Just armed robbery. They picked the best actor for Commisioner Gordon. Well, he\'s nto a Commish yet....but will be. [/sp]
I was. I was like a freakin\' school boy just notified that school was out! :D
-
I got giddy as well. I also like how they delivered that part of the movie. I\'m just glad the movie wasn\'t f*cking cartoony and kiddy like the last 2 (especially the 4th film with George "F*ckhead" Clooney). It was very dark and very cool. I saw some chicks covering their eyes during some of the scenes with Dr. Crane. :)
-
Yep. I love how they made Batman to first appear as a monster...sorta like Aliens. Just appears out of no where. GOTCHA! *grabs evis\'s balls*
-
well I finally saw the movie, it\'s all the rage around here since the training scenes were shot here in Iceland, that becomes a big deal around here, and I got to admit, it\'s funny seing a place you\'ve been to dozens of times being shown as a frozen hell on the big screen.
Now, for the movie itself it was a great movie for comic book geeks such as me but I did notice that people were starting to get bored during the first half of the movie.
I liked Scarecrow his mask was kick ass and I liked how he was rightfully shown as a wuss without his gas working. And I really loved when bats shot him with it and he saw his a a drooling batmonster that was truly great.
One thing I was always expecting and kind of hoping for was the kid that Rachel was holding once the gas was released on the city, he wasn\'t immune to it and I would\'ve been nicely funny if he\'d seen her as an horrible witch or something.
The hint of the Joker at the end was very nice, I\'ve heard people complaining that he wasn\'t the joker until he got his toxic bath but one can always say he wasn\'t the joker fully yet, but I hope he was. Having this truly insane wacko with no backstory and a fixation on batman without any reason would make him more mysterious and sinister.
Mr. Bale as Bats was great and compared to the other guys who were up for the role I thank god he was chosen.
ohh yeah there might be spoilers in the above text so watch out :p

Dude, it\'s like a million degrees here!
So yeah, I\'m waiting to see it at IMAX still.
But I find myself more excited for Land of the Dead.
-
Land of the Dead should be good.
-
It\'s been getting some lackluster reviews...

I don\'t listen to reviews anymore. They\'re just bullsh*t opinions of someone that isn\'t me. I may like something that someone else doesn\'t. That\'s why we go and see movies to find out for ourselves. Our opinion is the only thing that matters when it comes to movies. Nobody can force you to like something. Ya know?
-
yeah, but usually rotten tomatos gives a fair opinion of the movie, and it only has a 30%. Like you said, they are other people\'s opinion, if you are going to see it, you don\'t pay attention to them. I\'ve been iffy on the movie and this doesn\'t bode well for me. Maybe a few like-minded opinions here will sway me the other way but movies are expensive now and I\'m not willing to gamble on it.
-

Rotten Tomatoes is owned by IGN, I believe (don\'t quote me on that). In any case, I still stand by what I said, but I know what you mean. I use reviews as a reference, but I won\'t let it be the deciding factor of me seeing a movie. It\'s best to look at 4 or 5 reviews, not just one. Rotten Tomatoes is a pretty good source, though.
-
I don\'t care about reviews. It\'s a George Romero zombie movie.
And if theres one thing in this world I like, it\'s George Romero zombie movies....
Well, zombie movies in general too.
-
Right, but if Romero\'s latest films are any indication of what he has in store, then we are all screwed.
-
But dude... It\'s got zombies in it.
How bad can it be?
-
IGN loved it.
I am goin\' to see it tommorw with Capcom. Will let you know.
-
wow..when was the last great CURRENT horror movie?..sadly there is none...:(..make sure you give us the details LIC...
-
28 Days Later and Shawn of the Dead were great..
-
I loved Shawn of the Dead!
[kurt angle]Gra\'es mmmovie eva![/kurt angle]
-
Saw Batman Begins 2 nights ago. My only real problem with the movie was that it had to end. Loved all of it really. I loved how the character kind of learned by trial and error. Kind of got the things he needed to make his job easier
-
It was \'Shaun of the Dead\', you numbnuts.
As for \'Land of the Dead\', it bit ass.
-

whelp add that to the growing list of crappy ass horror joints....
-
Yep.
I am sorry, but the \'Big Daddy\' zombie was annoying. The idea that the zombie\'s could get weapons was even more annoying. Yes, I know in \'Day of the Dead\', Bub learned to shoot a gun, but he was the exception. This one had one smart zombie who could teach all the other\'s things. I could not help but roll my eyes at the way Dennis Hopper\'s character was killed.
Romero, I love your original trilogy, but you are a complete hack now\'a\'days. Your last films sucked and I remained hopeful that your newest \'Dead\' film could bring back the magic. It didn\'t. It only confirmed one thing, you are out of idea\'s and your time has passed.
-
One of those moments I actually hoped I was wrong :(
-
Main problem: Zombie\'s was way to smart.
-
Just saw Batman Begins last night... Anyone see Katie Holmes NHO in one of the scenes? hahahah
btw, I never really payed attention to any of the other Batman movies, or at least I don\'t remember watching any of them. But after watching this, it makes me want to go check them out. Which ones suck and which ones are good? Any website out there that has like stories and backstories?
-
^^^^
check out the original batman first
Burton\'s vision was the only other movie adaptation worth a damn.
-
What\'s the name of the film?
"Batman"?

funny thing is tho is that i actually liked day of the dead....even tho they had some comic relief in "bud", it still took itself sorta seriously...not to mention i did like the guts and intestines spillin all over the place :)...i haven\'t seen the movie yet but when they start tryin new s**t to make a movie better? as in zombies havin\' weapons? :rolleyes:..it totally destroys that scaryness or freight factor.....makes the film a complete joke....

Ser: Batman (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096895/?fr=c2l0ZT1kZnxteD0yMHxsbT01MDB8dHQ9MXxmYj11fHBuPTB8cT1iYXRtYW58aHRtbD0xfG5tPTE_;fc=1;ft=51;fm=1)
-
Check out........
"Batman" (1989)
"Batman Returns" (Sequel by Tim Burton)
Keep in mind tho\', they really have nothing to do with the comics and at best, can be considered an elseworld story or very loose adapation for the non-geeks.
As for \'Land o f the Dead\', there is plenty of gore. I also liked Bub, but now just imagine they zombies are about ten times smarter than him..They carry weapons, they know how to get into buildings, even how to blow things up.

While DD was pretty bad. Elektra was the worst ever. Can\'t believe I went and saw it. Even though it only cost me 2.50 I wanted my money back.
I mean who signs off on these things?
-
Marvel are whores. Whoring out every possible franchise, need another example? Check out \'Man-Thing\'.
-
The best Batman film yet.
I\'m going to see it again this weekend.:)
-
Well....I\'m late on this(as usual) but I rented the movie today.
I enjoyed it and thought it was good,however I can definitely see how some people might hate it.
It doesn\'t feel like a superhero-movie.Everything that happens in this movie could happen in real life and therefore when people go to see a super-hero movie to escape this world and enter a magical one this might not be the movie for them.It was more like a action film wich starred a superhero.
Now before LIC comes barging in here screaming "OMG you obviously haven\'t read the comics!!!!!!" I can totally see how this movie divided the Batman fanbase into 2 sides:Burton or Nolan.
The Joker is hinted upon in this film but who can picture the Joker in this ultra-realistic Gotham City?They might have to change the Joker to make him a plausible villain in the next film.
Anyway...that\'s my take on things.
For the Nolan-lovers:check out this thread:

This reminds me, I still have to watch it. When I saw it at the drive-in I couldn\'t pay attention at all - and not even for a good reason, heh. We own it now, I still have to check it out.

Plausibility is good in Batman\'s world, IMO.
The more realistic, the better. Even so, a lot of Batman Begins rides that surreal line.
Anywho, the Joker is just a crook with a sense of humor. His character would be easy to replicate in Nolan\'s vision of Gotham.
Now Clayface, on the other hand..
-
I\'m very interested to see how they\'ll pull off Joker (obviously)
I still watch certain scenes from BB everyday, if not the whole movie :D its just that good.

pfft you wouldn\'t be able to resist Robin either.
The best one is the strip where Joker and Batman repeatedly talk about giving eachother a boner.

Jason Todd was a Robin but no one liked him and so people phoned in to have him killed. He went to find his mother in the middle east, ran into the Joker, tried to solo him, and Joker beat him down with a crowbar and blew him up.
I used to think that the Joker was some pussy foot villain who was just insane but the guy is simply the best villain of all time (with Luthor imo). Beating Robin with a crowbar, paralyzing Gordan\'s daughter, he just does it to toy with Batman and for the fun of it. His master plot usually comes back to haunting Batman, not some silly plan take over the city plan. Bat fights for justice and to make Gotham a better place to live, Joker is his opposite in every conceivable way.
And yeah I hope they have a good explanation for bringing Todd back. Like a clone or something to haunt Batman because that mother fucker should of stayed dead.
-
Yeah, after Dick grew up and became Nightwing.. Jason Todd became Robin. Not too long after his first appearance (was it 6 years?) there was a poll of the readers..
Which character should die? Readers could choose, and they chose Jason Todd.
I heard that Bob Kane was really pissed off about the choice.

LIC:
Was this movie based on a specific issue of the comic book?
And if it was.....SPOILERS!!!!!!!
Did you know that Raz Gull(sp?) was gonna betray Batman?
Because I\'ve never read/heard about Raz Gul before and that twist was a huge surprise to me in the film!
I guess his motive was to create a superhero that can restore balance in Gotham City by whiping all the scum out.But when Bale refused to kill that guy(at Raz Gul hq) Raz knew that Bale wasn\'t the man for the job.
Then he tried to restore the balance himself with that nuclear weapon.
Like he said:whenever a society enters a state of decadence the balance must be restored.
How deeply is Raz Gul discussed in the comics?
Thanks.

Because I\'ve never read/heard about Raz Gul before
:eek:
And it\'s Ra\'s Al Ghul...I think.
-
LIC wears a black cape to school and suddenly he\'s the batman expert around here?
-
I just got the DVD in the mail. Gonna watch it tonight. Woot ! :bounce:
-
Ra\'s Al Ghul (sp?) is pretty involved in the comics (not just Batman but also JLA) but we get a slightly different version of him in the movie. Well, more like.. he\'s the same guy but his background isn\'t fleshed out.
i.e. Two prominent facts about Ra\'s is that he has a 20-something daughter, Talia, and he\'s possibly centuries old.. kept alive by using the Lazarus Pits. (which, in deus ex machina fashion, can bring pretty much anybody back to life.. even Jason Todd!) They don\'t mention any of that in the movie.
-
Ra\'s Al Ghul is basically Batman\'s equal in terms of intelligence, fighting, financially and so on. The movie got his character down flawlessly.
They kind of hinted to his immortality in the movie.
spoiler
He looks very relaxed and unphased by incoming death on the railcar. He calmly closes his eyes and then the camera shows the crash.
/endspoiler
Doubt he\'ll be back for another movie though.[
-
I would love a Lazsurs Pit in a sequel. I don\'t think it will happen though.
They made just enough references to his immortaility, but not quite enough to confirm it. I do think it would be nice to bring his daughter into and at least let her say "Detective" onceeeeeeeeeee!
-
I heard Penguin might be a villain in the next sequal...that makes me wanna cry.
-
They should have BANE.
-
Yeah, let\'s see Christian Bale\'s back get snapped in the second movie.
That\'ll show \'im.
-
Yes...exactly!
