    Robin = amazing

    Reasons:
    Leader of the Teen Titans (fuck you if you think that's stupid.)
    Becomes Nightwing.
    Gets busy with Starfire.
    Lives in a giant T.


    Any questions?
     
  2. Sad thing is, when I think of robin, I think of his replacement. The kid that rolled with batman when there was a batgirl as well.

    Saw the movie a couple days ago. It was very good, but I think it was a little over-hyped. It wasn't "flawless" or "perfect" - at least not the whole movie. I'm not saying this because Heath dropped dead, but I do feel his performance was flawless and perfect. To play the role as he did, I believe he had to really reach down inside him and get in touch with a part of the mind that is sick and twisted, and let that sort of consume him as he played his role.

    It's still an incredible movie, but I've definitely seen movies just as good or better that had half the hype.

    Movie: 9/10
    Joker: 10/10

    I just saw it last night and ill have to agree with Illfated Fat that ive seen better movies without so much hype. However a few things really caught my mind, the fact that heath can do that joker laugh chillz me to the bone. Another thing was that this movie was drawn out....but needed. It was almost like a 2nd part to a 3 series movie if that makes any sense. You have the first movie that explains everything, characters, backgrounds, ect. Then you have the second part were you find lots of troubles for the main character and maybe alot of events that lead to future movies. Then you have the third which is kind of like just the last kick ass.
    Now i hope they dont make it three, however this movie seemed like the second since there was alot, and i mean alot of talking through-out and building up of characters we already knew and new ones (harvey dent).
    Also, Robin? I can only justify Robin if it was played by a good actor which in my mind isnt registering anyone right now. Tbh Robin is Fail and batwomen (sorry girls) is LOL
    All in all i was very entertained and i think by now everyone wants that batcycle cuz that thing is fucking badass to the bone... HAHA! *jokerlaugh* Go c it!

    His best movie is still "Empire of the Sun" IMO Spielbergs best movie ever also.
    One of my favorite movies of all time.


    oh oh oh and American Psycho..awesome movie.
    It bugs me most people think he killed someone in that movie..it was all in his head..it never happened. Loved that twist.

    BTW Bale is in Jail today... http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/7519689.stm

    He allegedly beat his Mom and sister the night before he showed up at his premier. He was arrested by appointment!!!

    ....I wonder how that works??? You tell the cop to have his people call your people??

    That's not the first time that has happened to a star. If you're important or special enough, but not a flight risk, you can get arrested at a later date :D. I can't remember who, but someone else was arrested a couple months ago after they first attended their movie premiere.

    Saw it yesterday and wow
    Really Heath was the Joker you couldn't see Heath at all except in the cell. And the laugh that was brilliant. I don't care if it wasn't perfect, I loved it.

    You know...speaking of future characters...I was talking to a friend of mine (Who has come to a conclusion with her friend that 'she is Harley Quinn' (Since she loves The Joker))...What about Harley Quinn? They cannot replace Heath as the Joker. It's impossible. But what about bringing in Harley to "avenge" him, among another antagonist or two?


    If you don't know her, this is Harley Quinn

    Hey Mister J!!!!!!

    lol I loved harley
     
  12. I finally saw it last night. I honestly like the direction the Batman movies are going. Definately a very very dark theme to them with a lot of hardships going down, which is nice because I've always liked it when Batman was more of an emotional sort of anti-hero than a witty pun making karate guy.

    I liked the portrayal of the Joker, especially and though I've heard a lot of bad words on it, I'm very satisfied with how they handled Two-Face (though I don't want to go into depth to spoil anything).

    Also...I wonder if it was bad of me that when the credits rolled I kinda exclaimed (quite loudly) "Ohhhhh Heath Ledger! That's who that was. That dude seriously needs to be in more movies." I think I counted an equal amount of lols to wtfs.


    **Oh, also adding: I'd love to see Bane as a properly done villain in one of the future installments.

    harley = one of the first comic chicks i fell in love with and had to have a talk with myself that she was only pen and ink. great character and greater in mix with the joker. i could see her in a revenge option...but her character really needs joker to be fleshed out. the audience that sees her would need to see the relationship they have (fantastically written lovers/old married couple/ s&m buddies/ psychotic nuttys)to understand why she would be fanatical for Mr. J.

    two-face as a character = meh. imo a very boring almost Dick Tracy era villan.
    i want to see Rā's al Ghūl, or the fantastically sad Clayface or Mr. Freeze. None of this characters are back and white evil but are forces of nature and and in Clayface and Freeze's cases are products of a cruel world and their primal reactions to that world.

    Ra's was in the first movie as the main villain (not in his full comic capacity, but not shabby)... They could potentially bring in Talia though.... I find though that they've been going for the villian's without fantastical powers... so that would really leave Penguin, Mad Hatter, Talia and the rest of the League of Assasins crew, Cat Woman, and the other mundanes. Folks like Clay and Freeze and Ivy just wouldn't fit in I think.

    Ooo... thought, how about the ventriloquist as a side villian?

    No riddler. and definately not jim carrey as the riddler. this is a reinvention, not a retread.

    No Robin. He's retarded. Yes, he is. end of story.

    No Poison Ivy, Catwoman, Clay, Freeze for the reason that they have already been done or the CGI would be retarded to included.

    Talia is an idea that I like.

    You never mentioned Harley, Jay.
     
  20. ...or Bane :p

    Yeah, the two I'd very least like to see would be Ivy and Freeze and not just because of Joel Shumacher. For the direction the movies are going those two are too sci-fi.

    A new spin on Mad Hatter wouldn't be too bad...
