Can't wait to see this. It looks like it'll be amazing. I just wished they hadn't casted Katie Holmes, but I won't get into that here.

ITA 100% with this Michael Keaton is still my fave although Christian Bale is a very close second. He did what Keaton did with Batman/Bruce: show all the facets of this character- broody,dark,human ect .......

Holy... I can't wait until Batman comes out. I've barely heard a word about it. Christian Bale's going to be a good Bruce. I'm pretty sure of it, especially after Equilibrium which by the way was a fine performance, and Ken Watanabe. Most of these superhero movies have come out to just be blah, but I really can't wait for Batman!
 
Glad you liked it. :D Did it barely make it to Australia, or did you just get around to watching it?

Just saw the movie. Have to say I loved it! Christian Bale did an amazing job as the troubled Bruce Wayne/Batman...... This movie brought back my love for Batman. That sadly was lost after the fourth and final film. This one reminded me so much of the original ones: Batman and Batman Returns, dark, action packed.... it was goood.
 
I saw the movie too! One major complaint is that the theater I was at had the sound WAAAY too loud. I was partially deaf after it ended!
I agree about the choppy editing thing. It was hard to understand what was happening. I had to guess. But other than that, it was great! I loved Alfred, he was funny!

Christian Bale did a great job! :clap:
 
If anyone wants to see video of Bale in his Batman suit, right-click/save-target-as here :D

I saw this last night with my friends and I absolutely loved it. I think the entire audience loved it too since 10:30, which was sold out as was the 11:00 pm, audience was literally on its feet clapping by the time the credits started rolling. I was never really a big Batman fan, but for some reason I was really excited to catch this movie. I thought Bale did an awesome job as the black knight. He's the best so far to ever don the black cape. But the ENTIRE cast was really really great. Caine, Neeson, Freeman, heck, even Katie Holmes. Although I was a bit like wtf at the end with her and Bruce, but I'm assuming that's the story with the two per the comics, which again, I'm not too familiar with. Anyways, the movie was really really great. It made me give a damn about why Batman is Batman. There was a lot of depth, character, and realism to our hero. The fighting sequences were pretty crazy too ... and that batmobile!

But seriously, great great movie. :D

btw, forgot to pimp Micheal Caine as Alfred. I loved him and he made the movie for me even better on top of all the aforementioned reasons. Yay for Caine! :)

[B]Holmes Dropped from 'Batman' Sequel[/B]

Christian Bale, Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman have signed to star in a second Batman movie, but love interest Katie Holmes has been dropped. Movie bosses are thrilled with the response to Batman Begins - it took $46.9 million in its first weekend at the US box office - and have snapped up the film's stars for a sequel. Bale as Batman was the first to put pen to paper, followed by Caine as butler Alfred and Freeman as Bruce Wayne's business associate Lucius Fox. But Holmes won't reprise her role as district attorney Rachel Dawes - reportedly because Warner Bros is angry her engagement to Tom Cruise has stolen media attention away from the movie. A source tells Pagesix.Com, "Everyone is in agreement that the movie's strength is with Christian Bale, Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman." Adding of Holmes, "She won't be in the sequel... the next romantic interest will be a much stronger actress. Warner is happy that people are now focusing on who'll be playing the Joker rather than Katie and Tom."

Now that's not intirely accurate. What about us raving fanGIRLS? Girls like Batman and Superman too!

....

Okay, we like the hot bods, but some of us are interested in the story. It's timeless, it transcends gender. Silly magazine.
 
This movie KICKED ASS!!!

Saw it last night and WOW!! Loved it! It's totally how all the Batman movie should have been made. :nod: It totally sh@t on all the other movies!

Katie Holmes was a busted, so glad she outta the sequel. Christian Bale totally carried the film...thank god!

Hehehe :yay: I'm sooo happy there's a sequel with Christian, Morgan and Michael!! Hooray!

first few filming day stuff is in from superherohype...

Batman Begins Set, Crew & Location Details! Source: Superhero Hype! Friday, March 5, 2004

'Coley' and 'Webakin' alerted us that Dark Horizons may have some details on the first two days of shooting on Batman Begins.

"Day 1 - They've set up about ten small huts and apparently it's supposed to be a village in Tibet, with more huts to be added by CGI. Yesterday Batman and someone were fighting with swords on the glacier. Tomorrow a magnificent scene will be filmed with Batman and the bad guy fighting while crashing down a steep hill toward a very high cliff. Of course this will be done with some elaborate wire work".

Day 2 - Liam Neeson has been spotted, he is sporting an Asian looking mustache with a one inch gap in the mustache under his nose. Also Christian Bale has a "one month beard". As far as I know he has not yet begun wearing the batsuit. He is wearing some leather clothes with a string belt. In one scene Christian Bale was being carried over the shoulder by someone. The buzz is that this is supposed to be the beginning of the movie. Oh and there is an buddist looking temple also"

Meanwhile, 'Robert' pointed us to the Reykjavik (capitol of Iceland) tourist board's official website which has more on the production...

A spokesman for the producers will not disclose where the filming is actually taking place but RUV (National Broadcasting Company) has information that it is near Skaftafell, south-east Iceland.

The film crew counts around 200 people and among the actors are Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, Liam Neeson, Katie Holmes and Christian Bale. Actors Christian Bale and Liam Neeson and director Christopher Nolan arrived yesterday and are expecting to be shooting in one or two weeks.

The Icelandic crew has signed a contract of confidence not to talk about the film or where exactly it's being filmed. When filming is done here in Iceland, the crew goes to England to film there.

Going back to England, scooper 'Comic Forever' has news on fight casting at Shepperton Studios...

Hi, a friend of mine works for a logistics firm and this morning he made delivery to Shepperton Studios! where they are now casting for the fight scenes for Batman Begins. He witnessed over 50 people performing various stunts and fights for the new Batman movie. If the fight scenes he witnessed are anything to go by this film is a must see. They where filming other scenes at the studio so I hope to have more news soon.
