I'm not a huge fan of any of them really, the ones I've seen, I've only seen once except Batman I may have seen a couple of times. Batman Returns seemed like it was pretty good. It had Michelle Pfeiffer in the Cat Woman suit, that was ok.


Ha, yeah. But I think that's my least favorite of all of them, interesting. Yes, I like it even less than Batman And Robin. haha.

Batman the animated series from the 90's had a cool style to it, though I didn't watch it much, it was impressive. There was a feature length movie that was released in theaters but I can't remember what it was called. I remember Siskel and Ebert were saying it was much better than one of the live action Batman movies out at the time.

Yeah, they had some rather innovative animation for a TV show. Eye catching. Mark Hamill was the voice for the Joker on the series & movie, 1993's Batman: Mask of the Phantasm might be the one you're thinking of.

OK Jamie, I'll give Batman Begins a fair trial one of these days. Smile

First Movie Reviews: The Dark Knight
15 July 2008 10:38 AM, PDT


The London Daily Mirror claimed today (Tuesday) that it was publishing the first major newspaper review of the upcoming Batman movie, The Dark Knight. It's a rave. Critic David Edwards remarks that Heath Ledger is "a dead cert" to win the Oscar for his portrayal of The Joker. Edwards says that the late actor "is the brilliant heart of a superhero movie that's like nothing you've ever seen before. ... the finest superhero movie in years." In the U.S., Time Inc.'s Entertainment Weekly is out with a review by Owen Gleiberman that also extols Ledger's performance. "In this, the last performance he completed before his death, Ledger had a maniacal gusto inspired enough to suggest that he might have lived to be as audacious an actor as Marlon Brando, and maybe as great," he writes. Likewise Richard Corliss in Time magazine calls Ledger's performance "magnificent." His Joker, says Corliss, "is simply one of the most twisted and mesmerizing creeps in movie history." In his review for the Associated Press, Christy Lemire writes that The Dark Knight is "an epic that will leave you staggering from the theater, stunned by its scope and complexity." And Peter Travers concludes in Rolling Stone: "The haunting and visionary Dark Knight soars on the wings of untamed imagination."

Nice! Though I was waiting for something like "oh yeah, there's some stuff about Batman in this movie, too." ha ha.

I think might go on a radio silence (to avoid spoilage) with the impending arrival of the midnight showing which I will show up for very early tomorrow. mmm .... Batman!

You have NO idea how jealous I am that you're going to the midnight showing. Mad
My parents hate crowded theaters so they're like, eh, we'll wait a while.

I'm pretty sure Jamie already has his ticket, he's just showing up early to ensure good seating for himself.

As for my choice of best Batman movie, my vote will be cast after I get back from the midnight showing. Of the ones I've seen, the order that I like them:
Batman Begins
Batman ('89)
Batman the Movie ('66)
Batman Returns
Batman Forever
Batman & Robin

they're showing it at the drive in, though i've never been there. i've wondered how you deal with the heat. i guess you just put a towel on the seat and sweat it out! after you're drenched in sweat any breeze is sure to feel good.
i'm also contemplating seeing it at an IMAX theater since it's the first major motion picture to be filmed with IMAX cameras. i believe they shot several of the action sequences that way.

The second Tim Burton movie was my favorite. It has crazy awesome atmosphere.
