Batman

Post by bam bam »

This could be the first movie ever that combines critical acclaim with box office muscle. I am looking forward to it.

I can't wait. I'm hoping to see it this weekend. I am a longtime Batman fan (despite my avatar). There have been many storylines in the books over the years that I think could easily be classified as literature. It looks like this movie will get much closer to that.

I went to 13 YEARS Catholic school, 1 Presb,

I let my son, now 10 see Hulk, Bat and Spiderman when he was too wee tike, but sadly, MEAN MUMMY takes place, NO Batman....

It's frustrating they make so many "toys" after these movies, and don't realize the potential violence.

I saw it this AM. Very intense. Pretty disturbing. I liked it. Ledger was very twisted and believable. I usually dislike Aaron Eckhart (too bland), but I thought he did a good job here.
This is not a little kids movie.

Just chiming in to confirm that it is indeed completely awesome and that Heath Ledger absolutely nails every scene he's in.

YES!!

I may post more thoughts later, but I caught the 10AM show today, and it was absolutely outstanding, both as a standalone movie and as an addition to the batman series. Ledger was mindblowing.
