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

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....

Oh, I thought Year One was the car club from 2 Fast 2 Furious.

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.

Nice. Christian Bale was great on Equilibrium

I likey Christian Bale.. for the most part.

Perhaps this\'ll be a Batman worth looking out for.

« **Reply #14 on:** September 14, 2003, 03:53:41 AM »

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?
