That's my Batman. That's my motherfucking Batman.
Jayne: That's a good idea. Good idea. Tell us where the stuff's at so I can shoot you. Mal: Point of interest? Offering to shoot us might not work so well as an incentive as you might imagine.

Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Hey. New board.
You are all taunters.
I will see it in less than 24 hours, at least.

I think ita liked the movie. Good, no? I just wish I had the IMAX experience.

Saw it in IMAX, so there was only the one trailer, for Willy Wonka, which my moviemate insists we also see in IMAX, but it might make me cry.
God, I really enjoyed that. I need to go again, and I need to buy the DVDs ASAP.
That's my boy!

Hey. New board.
WOOT
Looking forward to the IMAX, though the lack of Serenity Trailer is a bit saddening. Since I already saw the movie, though, I think I can deal.

I've been trying to pinpoint what it is about the Batman movie that affects me so (and apparently many others).
One, the casting was brilliant, especially Gordon and Alfred. I could buy into the motivations and the history. It wasn't quite as fantastical as the Burtonverse; more realistic / logical. The movie didn't strike me as formulaic as other summer fare. It has its fun moments.
I guess it comes down to a lot of little things done right. I just hope to gods they keep the cast for the next two... well, Ms. Holmes NSM, but she did lighten things up a bit, I'll grant her that much.

"When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie." ~Trent Reznor
Are we certain we're getting sequels? Is anything optioned? Not that I think we've seen the last Batman movie ever, just that there's nothing stopping anyone from making yet another continuity a few years down the road, one independent from this or any other. That can happen with your more iconic characters.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Bale is obsessed with the role and already talking about what he wants to do in the sequel. I'd say that's a good sign. I assume since the studio knew going in that they wanted to restart the franchise that they had multi-picture options in Bale's, Caine's and Oldman's contracts.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, I have a stupid nitpick Batman question: How was Katie Holmes already in the DA's office in the "seven years ago" part? Bruce was only 23, and she's younger than him. I don't get it.

Did they state she was younger? Although I have no idea how those careers work...where's bon bon?
