I honestly thought that happened once he's kicked fuck outta Batman the first time and then unmasked him.
I get the feeling that'll happen, he'll get chucked into pit and then, well, you know, he rises.

I'm not sure that trailer shows what you think it shows.

Exactly my assumption which seem supported by other quotes in trailers. |

Then I look forward to being pleasantly surprised and wrong.

Bought my marathon ticket a couple days ago. It's going to be a long day of sitting in a theater but at least it won't be as long as when I did it with LotR, extended versions at that.

Yeah, it's only 3 movies. I kind of feel for the people who did the Avengers Marathon, that was six (prob a tiny bit longer then the LotR marathon, not sure) |

I kind of feel for the people who did the Avengers Marathon, that was six (prob a tiny bit longer then the LotR marathon, not sure) If it was all extended versions, LotR ran 11.4 hours, while Avengers went just over 12.5 (including the one just out). Either one is a bit much even for a home viewing with my couch and $0.25/bag popcorn, to do it in theaters seems like more masochism than fandom (plus I can cut over half an hour off by skipping the credits). --Dave |

There's a hardcore vs casual cinema going debate in the brewing here.  |

So word on the street is that there was a standing ovation at the end of a preview screening of this. Critics are falling over themselves to discuss how good it is - some saying it even puts the Avengers to shame. Also, no apparent embargo on reviews which is encouraging.
May avoid the internet for a couple of weeks for fear of spoilers.

Warner Bros. "accidentally" released 50 pages of production notes and stuff about the film. So watch out for spoilers.

So far the trailers don't give away the movie like Promethus did. Which is nice.

I don't understand clapping for a movie. It's not like the director can hear you, and the projector guy does not give a shit. This discussion feels like familiar ground though. |

You're clapping because you feel like you didn't just get your money stolen from you for a crappy remake of a movie or tv show made 20 years ago.

There is also the possibility that if this was an advanced screening press-preview type dealy, the Director might actually be there.

It's an emotional response, nothing to understand. It's just like when people yell at the TV during a sports game. Sense it makes = Zero. Does it happen regardless? Yup. |

I should hope all of them would think so. The Avengers was a fun film in it's own right, and a decent superhero flick, but that is not the benchmark I would use to assess the Nolan Batman films, not even close. If critics were saying that it was a tossup between The Avengers and The Dark Knight Rises for film quality then it means that Nolan has fucked up hard by his own standards. |

Quite. No matter how much I enjoyed the recent Marvel movies (hint:Quite a Fucking Bit) the two Nolan Batman outings are simply not in the same category and shouldn't be taken together at all.

Amen. I've always said the Nolan Batman movies are crime noir movies which happen to have a guy in a Dracula cape and tights in them. The Avengers and all the Marvel movies are fantastic 4-color superhero movies. They aren't even the same genre. It's like trying to compare Road to Perdition (originally a comic book) with Avengers just because their original medium was the same. They can both be great movies without having to be compared. Nolan's work is much more "film" quality, while Avengers is "popcorn-movie" style. |

It will be interesting to see what they do with Batman when they reboot in a few years. Will they stay on that path of crime noir or tilt back towards traditional superhero?

If they are smart (Warners has not shown that they are), they will make it with the eye towards pulling an Avengers - build him to fit in with the Justice League movie they should have been working on for years. |

As I type, I'm watching Green Lantern.
They won't ever manage an Avengers type thing because they don't take their own IP Seriously.
I mean, I'm watching it again. But what is this shit ? Why is Reynolds even in this ??

I think he was hired to work on a DC film in which he'd be "meh" to dissuade Marvel from ever making a proper Deadpool movie with him. Which reminds me, where the fuck is my Deadpool movie? |
I traded in my fun blog for several legal blogs. Or, "blawgs," as the cutesy attorney blawgosphere likes to call 'em.

Until DC pulls a Marvel and opens their own film studio, and gets back as many properties as possible, they are never gonna beat Marvel in the film market. |

It's just that the JLA, except for Supes and Bats, is kind of weird. I mean GL is defeated by the color yellow!
Wonder Woman-Best chance of the bunch, but she needs a GOOD writer.
Martian Manhunter-LOL "Hi, I have a set of powers that seem to have been dumped on me by the Origin Truck."
Flash-He's well known, but his power is kind of meh.
Aquaman-LOL again. Nuff said.
Hawkman/woman-I smell fried chicken.
You get the idea.
As for Bats, I'd like to see a reboot where he's the World Greatest Detective and a movie that straddles the grim reality of the latest movies with the slightly off kilter Burton films. No Ace the Bat-Hound please! Oh and no more goddamn origins. Amazonian tribesmen know it by now.

I think that people could go for an alternate reality batman, say a straight 1920's detective batman.

Until DC pulls a Marvel and opens their own film studio, and gets back as many properties as possible, they are never gonna beat Marvel in the film market. DC is owned by Warner Bros., and the rights to their characters are all owned in-house. The Warners film studios just don't know how to fucking exploit over 70 years worth of intellectual property. |

Remember for a long time the situation was exactly reversed - DC had hits like Batman and Superman while Marvel couldn't get it's act together - Spider-Man was in development hell forever, Captain America was direct to video garbage, Roger Corman made a Fantastic Four movie!
