Xander ,'Showtime'
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.
when Gordon says to Batman, "I never said 'thank you," and Batman replies, "And you'll never have to,"
Is that straight from the comics? Or just true to their relationship?
True to the characters, I suppose. Plus it was such a kick-ass ending, given that the movie, despite being a superhero movie, was really a character study of sorts.
Several people came in costume too.
Dang it, I only have a Superman shirt. (And a Wonder Woman nightshirt, but I ain't wearing that to the movies.)
Someone came as Alfred, and I think there was Jim Gordon too (glasses and moustache, plus rumpled suit). A lot of Jokers, a couple of Batmans, one Harley Quinn, and a bandaged DKR Harvey. I'm guessing none of those options are going to work for you.
I gotta say, I agree with whoever said it when BB came out - Jim Gordon's ride in the Batmobile was one of the most iconic superhero moments in a movie ever.
We had all kinds of people in makeup and costume. I was pretty surprised.
We also had theaters PACKED. 482 people in my theater alone and I think there were 2-3 other theaters also showing the movie. I had never seen the parking lot at my theater packed like that EVER.
This fucking movie is going to make a LOT of $$. For real.

I thought I got the link from here, but maybe not -- in NYC (and possibly other big cities), since the midnight shows sold out so quickly, some theatres added 3 a.m. and 6 a.m. shows: [link] Crazy!
At the screening, they told people to line up an hour early, and that they would be confiscating cell phones. When we got there, we found out that they were actually confiscating ALL electronic devices, so even though we'd hidden the phones in the bottom of E's backpack we still had to turn in our iPods. It was BEYOND FUCKING RIDICULOUS.
They had a 6am showing here in suburban Denver.
Kids and I are going at 12:20. Told the folks I work with that I'm leaving early (worked my 40 already) to see a movie and they were quite supportive. Love my new group.
Oh, they're having all sortd of 1am Saturday showings here (WTF?). I'm seeing 9:30am tomorrow, headache gods compliant. I figure it's my best bet being able to get through as much of it as possible. It's my first "outdoor" movie in months and my first solo in perhaps as much as a year.
Sends beseechments for benevolence by the headache gods on ita's behalf.

Many of the theaters out here, including the one I went to, had 3 am and 6 am shows.
I loved it, though I generally agree with Jess and Fone Bone about its flaws (which I generally found minor).
Heath's Joker was one of the most sublime things I've ever seen. I'm sad all over again that we'll never get any more. Though maybe that's for the best.
I've noticed that the more distance I have from the movie, the more its flaws fade into the background. What stands out are the performances and characterizations, which were all fantastic.
