BATMAN BEGINS (NEW) - Movie (First look)

BATMAN BEGINS (NEW) - Movie (Tentative June.2005 Release)
Unofficial name of the movie - "BATMAN : BEGINS" - (Strange..!)
I personally, not a BATMAN fan but anyway here's the NEWS

I'm kinda glad they're doing a makeover after the HORRIBLE series-killing camp Batman that Clooney did in the last one. Ugh.
I hope it's as serious as the first one that Keaton did with whacko Jacko as Joker.

Please ... please be as good as the first one but I think the Joker made the movie. Keaton was pretty good.

This could end up being pretty good, simply because expectations will be low.

Kind of like Terminator 3. I thought it was going to be crap, but was pleasantly surprised that it was a decent movie.

How come they always get a different actor to play the role of Batman each time? Is the job that bad?

I like Bale. Haven't seen many movies of his, but of the ones I've seen (American Psycho & Equilibrium), he seems pretty well suited for the role of Batman.

Rent an underated Steven Spielburg film "Empire of the Sun" if you haven't seen it. In it you'll see the main character, a small boy played by an named Bale! (Yes the same guy!). Don't bother with Shaft where he plays a 'heavy'.

I think in Keaton's case, once Burton was off the project so was he. Either that or the change in directors wanted to use a different actor in the role.

As for the movie, I hope they are true to their word and make this one simliar to Frank Miller's vision of Batman not that crap of the last picture. This series was gone steadily downward. Keaton was pretty good; Kilmer was passible; Clooney well let's just say I seemed to picture the character he played in the Rosanne TV series - Booker!

This movie looks very promising because of not only Bale but the supporting cast:

Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, Katie Holmes, Liam Neeson, Gary Oldman, Ken Watanabe, Tom Wilkinson. Also Christopher Nolan (Memento, Insomnia) is the director

I never knew that kid was Bale. I watched that movie back in OAC english class. Pretty decent flick.

S.

He has an awesome chin for batman, look at the first picture in the thread, that is the right look for batman, it says 'don't **** with me punk'.

I think this franchise has already been stretched way past its limit. However, superhero movies are all the rage and making money, so another one is being rolled out.

Not counting the animated ones, I believe this will be the 6th Batman movie, correct?

I won't be seeing it, as I doubt it will offer anything new or interesting. I did enjoy the Burton movies though.

6? Are you counting the 60's one? And another one I'm unaware of?
There's Batman/Batman Returns (Keaton), Batman Forever (Kilmer), Batman and Robin (Clooney)......?

I remember seeing this first look like a month ago.

I'm glad they're going back to the Dark Knight look rather than the comic/60's version in the last two. Have you seen the new Batmobile? Looks like a Hummer on steriods, I think I missed the last conversation about it and just took a quick look at the WB site and holy s*.
