Being a fan of the whole "Knightfall" series of Batman comics, and with the rumours going-around that Christian Bale is hanging-up the cowl after this next movie, it might be kinda cool to have Bane effectively "win" this upcoming story. For the first time, it might be possible to continue the canon of a series of Batman movies while simultaneously changing the actor.Tim Grierson said:
Then again, 99% of people who see these Batman movies probably couldn't handle the sheer confusion of a "Batman" not being Bruce Wayne, anyway. Closed-minded bastards, I tell 'ya!

I'm inclined to agree with you.
They can't handle any movie featuring the same main character that doesn't build upon or is a direct sequel to a previous film. Except maybe James Bond...only film I can think of.
I wouldn't mind watching any superhero flick that had no relation to any previous movies featuring that same character. Why not just do a bunch of one shot films, or alt-universe stories.
I guess it's all about the money at the end of the day and creating a franchise.

3 was Franco at his finest. Although the first time I saw 3, I was so disappointed. I was just, "maannnn. Are you serious?"
Then I watched it a few more times and each time I started to like it a bit more.
I always loved the scene of Peter walking down the street fingerbanging everyone, because back when it came out I did the same shit to pretty girls...
Although now that Spidey's getting rebooted, it sucks that it ended on a sad note.

Not by much.
I don't know where that comes from or why it is an area of concern. Nolan already made it pretty clear that this will end as a trilogy and bale is on board. I don't believe it was ever suppossed to be anything more than that.
Bale leaving as Batman falls second to a change of directors.

I only consider DK to be an average movie. Probably because I'm comparing it to Begins, which I consider an absolute masterpiece. Ra's al Ghul has long been my favorite batman villain, so that had a huge part in it. Before Begins I'd given up on him ever being used in a movie.

but honestly the bond films are hardly sequels. Mostly just alternative universes with the same character.

I still like Batman (1989) the best.
Yup, me too.
Let me mess with things further and say, in my mind:
Batman > Dark Knight > Batman Returns > Batman Begins (yeah, I know I know) > Schumacher.
But where does Adam West's Batman movie fit in that?
I was surprised by how much I liked Returns upon rewatching it recently. It was a lot better than I remembered.
On a semi-related note, you can get the Blu-ray of it for $10 at Wal-Mart now.

I love watching batman and robin.
It's so bad that it's great.
The one liners are so groan worthy.
Plus it had bane.
My money is that it remains the definitive portrayal of him.
(jk, but the leaked photo looks dumb)

I liked TDK. The plot was all over the place, it could have been cut down (that whole HK sequence) and the movie would have been better. Still, I enjoyed TDK because Ledger was just amazing (and not because he died afterwards). I didn't like Two-Face, thought it didn't need another villain in the end, again, remove that and put it in 3 would have made TDK even better.
Spiderman 3 was a diaster. I didn't give a crap about Sandman and the way they BS that for spidey was ridiculous. I hated Peter Parker during the entire movie, and thank god for Franco, otherwise, it should have been a direct to dvd movie.

Watching TDK right now. I think it's freaking great. I like it more each time I see it.
Also the Visuals/sound are stellar, particularly the IMAX scenes. It's jarring though when the shots switch back and forth.
Didn't I read The Dark Knight Rises is going to shoot more scenes in IMAX or use the new Digital IMAX cameras instead of 70mm??? Going to look that up...
Here's what Wiki has to say... Digital IMAX projection, still standard IMAX cameras.... They really need to get this shit ironed out.
