Batman begins (warning: possible spoilers) |
|
just saw it. and i think its probably tied with the very first original batman (with keaton) as the best batman out of the entire series.
but i got to thinking.
the guy looks an awful lot like keaton when he dresses up in the bat costume. hell, he even sounds like him. and at the end, he gets handed the "calling card". a joker.
so, who thinks there will be another pre-se-quel? set in a time after this one, but before keaton.
or do you think this is the only one, and its supposed to move smoothly straight into keatons era?

...there already is a middle and an end.
"batman"
"batman returns"
"batman forever"
"batman & robin" (horrible, should have never been made)
at the end of batman begins, the cop who has "been made lieutenant" gives batman the card of the joker. and batman says "ill look into it". in the movie "batman", its jack nicolson who plays the jokers. so it makes sense that there shouldnt be another one made.
what i think is, they probably will make another, but really, they shouldnt.

Haven't seen the movie yet, but my understanding was that they were trying to tenatively nudge the franchise, to see if the horrid stink of Batman Forever and Batman 4: What the Hell Were You Thinking? Nipples on the Bat-Armor? What Is Wrong With You?! had finally subsided.
If this movie does well (and it appears that it is), you can expect them to keep churning out new ones. Nothing Hollywood loves more than beating a dead horse.

I just downloaded a copy. My eyes are still bleeding. I am not sure how good the movie is, but the file I downloaded had some problems. It was broken up into 7 parts of random and unconsistant size, the audio did not line up and made a *beep* sound every 20 seconds, the whole movie was the russian version with the english audio slapped on top, at least one of the 7 segmensts was just out-right russian, the video quality was very low, and the file was about twice as big as is normal. It was so horrid that I may actually pay for my entertainment from now on. I watched up to the point where he met the guy in the basement (?) of some building. He made hi-tech stuff. Or something. The version I had was hard to follow. Was that guy the janitor?

Good movie. I think it blended well and will transverse right from begins to the original. Don't know how they will end it. Maybe they need some more fake ice/plastic for a sixth

the "Begins" batmans are completely seperate from the other 4. infact at Comic con international the guys on the panel said this openly, they want nothing to do with the tim burton and other movies.
infact the crew who worked on "Begins" is already planning the sequel where he faces the joker..
remebr the inconsitancies? jack napier (aka joker) +friend who killed Bruce waynes parents in tim burtons first batman.. ....but in "begins" it was this poor guy...he was used as story leverage to articulate why bruces initial lust for revenge mixed with fear (and conquering of fear) eventually lead him to NOT slaughter criminals, instead, bringing them to justice.
BTW the story is based on Frank Millers work "batman; year1" and year2.. (and i guess it goes on alittle longer) Frank miller is the guy who made the Sin citycomic and ofcourse colaborated to make the movie
so the begins franchise will be a completely different take on;
modivation, themes, style and character...etc

aww nuts. there goes my theory. if they have nothing to do with burtons though, whyd they choose someone who looks so much and sounds so much like keaton?

aye its obviously not supposed to go into the keaton as if my memory serves me correctly, jack isnt actually the "joker" at the start of the first movie, and he is already at the end of begins... i guess... not sure what i was getting at there but yeah they arent connected
However, begins is a DAMN good movie, damn good.

lets play a game. its called "guess my identity".
grab your friend. say something to him in your normal every day voice.
now get him to close his eyes and spin him around 3 times. put a silly costume on, and say something else to him in your normal every day voice.
if your friend screams "omfg, where did you go XXX?!!?!? and who is this guy standing exactly where you were?!?!!!!" you win. if he guesses who you are, you lose.
see my point?
