    My one? Well, it was of Homer Simpson giving you the middle fingers. Yes, I am well aware of how wrong that sounds.

    Yes.

    It's too bad that you're objectively wrong. Popular does not mean good.

    So Crucify the ego, before it's far too late, to leave behind this place so negative and blind and cynical. And you will come to find that we are all one mind, capable of all that's imagined and all conceivable.

    It figures Lord Stafford Voldemort wouldn't understand logic. His undoing was due to his ignorance.

    No, it wasn't. I agree that an awarded Oscar could be because of popularity, but not on this.

    @Lord Stafford Every Oscar win is a result of popularity, dude.

    By the way, that image of John Cena looks like the villain from Ghostbusters 2.

    Let it be known I shall never take another word NumberEight says seriously ever again. Schumacher's movies good, and Ledger's performance boring? I really want to believe you're being a big ol' sillyhead and just trolling.

    There are a gazillion interviews out there with Joss Whedon this week-- and we'll have one soon, believe me!-- because, as you might have heard, the geek icon has directed this movie called The Avengers, and it's probably going to be a big deal. But the good thing is that Whedon has countless fascinating stories to tell, both because of how long he's been working in the trenches punching up dozens of scripts that weren't his own-- including Toy Story-- and how many projects he's pushed himself, whether they ever made it into existence or not. Whedon's story until now had been one of occasional, sometimes compromised success-- the aborted runs of Firefly and Dollhouse, the successful Buffy and Angel series-- and that included a lot of stabs at tackling other superheroes, including Wonder Woman famously, as well as Batman.

    Before Christopher Nolan completely transformed The Dark Knight's role in popular culture, Whedon had a meeting with Warner Bros. for his own take on the character-- and from the way he described it in an interview with GQ, it wasn't just different from Nolan's story, but inherently Whedon-esque in the way it handled the character's motivation. In short, it made billionaire Bruce Wayne something of an outcast:

    There was a lot more, in Whedon's take, about the orphaned Bruce Wayne as a morbid, death-obsessed kid. There was a scene—Whedon used to well up, just thinking about it—where young Bruce tries to protect this girl from being bullied in an alley, an alley like the one his parents were murdered in.

    "And he's like this tiny 12-year-old who's about to get the shit kicked out of him. And then it cuts to Wayne Manor, and Alfred is running like something terrible has happened, and he finds Bruce, and he's back from the fight, and he's completely fine. And Bruce is like, 'I stopped them. I can stop them.' That was the moment for me. When he goes 'Oh, wait a minute; I can actually do something about this.' The moment he gets that purpose, instead of just sort of being overwhelmed by the grief of his parents' death."


    As you might imagine, Warner Bros. didn't run with his idea, and Whedon was so invested in it that he was devastated-- and that was even before he got the call, the same day, telling him that Firefly was cancelled. One of the many reasons Whedon has developed such a devoted fanbase is because of his successes combined with his failures-- the notion that he was out there struggling just like we were, and even being a brilliant writer and the creator of something as successful as Buffy didn't guarantee anything. Now that Whedon is almost literally on top of the world with The Avengers, it's a success we can all share in-- and with Whedon now about as wealthy as Bruce Wayne, his future successes seem a lot more certain thees days.
    WOWOWOWOWOW hahaha Thank goodness he never got his hands on Batman...that is such an odd bit from the Origin story Whedon wrote lol. A 12 year old beating up thugs? HA! lol.

    Anyways just yet another take on the Batman mythos over the years. Theres been so mant Batman movies that went into production and never materialized and this is just yet another of them :3

    Bahahahahhahaha Lookie at what I found on youtube...





    Such a shame how two of the most interesting Batman villians ended up getting sharted on. The story of Freeze and his wife is so touching but with Swartzengeggra camping it up it was hard to take seriously : /

    Even in the dramatic moments I cant help but lol:



    (Yes its dramatized but for the greater good haha)

    His performance gets boring after the hype wears off. It's one-note and there is nothing special about it. But it's cool you'll discount everything I say in the future because I didn't like this poor excuse for art. Shitting on the negative would improve it drastically.

    Apparently I missed a lot of news concerning the dark knight rises, can't believe I missed the third trailer. That was incredibly cool, I'm a bit concerned about having only Bane being the villain of the movie as he doesn't seem like a very interesting character to me but I hope the movie would prove me wrong.

    This is easily my most anticipated movie of the summer, it makes me look forward to watch something in the cinema now that Harry Potter is over. :(
  • AllStar87AllStar87 Posts: 1,157 ✭✭✭
    In the trailer, Christian Bale isn't as strong on his voice as Batman was in The Dark Knight. I hope it's toned down a bit.

    The last line in the trailer said by Batman is incomprehensible to me, I hope they tweak as they seem to have tweaked Bane's voice.
  • BaneBane Posts: 9,869 ✭✭✭✭✭
    What was his last line in the trailer? "I haven't given them everything. Not yet." Man you guys need your fucking ears checked, both Bane and Batman were incredibly easy to understand.

    To you, you see, what you might find easy to hear or not may not be the same as any other person. Thanks for posting the line but no need to be rude about it.

    Poor excuse for art? Have you seen the set design for practically every scene in Schumacher's Batmans? It's like someone built a set on an acid trip.

    Eight, instead of saying why you dislike Nolan's Batman, perhaps elaborate as in how the hell you like Schumachers over it?
  • NumberEightNumberEight Posts: 1,574 ✭✭✭✭✭
    They aren't very good works of art either. They are schlock entertainment. They don't take themselves way too seriously. Nolan made it too serious. That's not really the problem, though. The problem is that his films don't get into the psyche of the Caped Crusader. They don't attempt to show depth in the character that makes it worth the 2.5 hour investment in the theater chair. A simple look at Arkham Asylum (the comic) would show that it isn't impossible to make a good Batman movie.

  • Martin1Martin1 Posts: 7,849 ✭✭✭✭✭
    But even if you hate the seriousness, I just don't see how you'd take Schumacher over it. I'd take twilight over vampires suck even if consider both poopy because at least twilight attempts to be an actual movie while vampires suck is just some poop on the screen. So the fact that you dislike a film that has many good elements even if you dislike the seriousness more than a pile a shit thrown together on screen is what boggles my mind.

    "Depth in the character". Like how Bruce's entire backstory is explained, nay, shown. Like how Harvey completely lost his mind and his perspective on morality. Like how the Joker's own life is so ambiguous you've got no idea what could've possibly made him so twisted. Or, alternatively, like how Pamela Isley was given a sudden urge to destroy the world, for no particular reason, other than a loon stealing her stuff and then throwing her into a shelf of chemicals. Like how Bane is a nobody from South America. Like how Harvey Dent is simply a guy with split personality disorder. Like how Barbara...nope, can't even think of anything for her.

    I see your point. -nods-

    Batman Forever and Batman & Robin never started out taking themselves seriously. They are camp. Period. They are funny as fuck, which is why I love them!

    Any morality that Dent possessed in TDK is negated by the selfish morality on the part of Bruce Wayne. He was responsible for every death that occurred by the Joker. the netire film is sloppy in that regard, including political themes.

    So...you don't like Nolan's films, because of how dark and serious they are? Bearing in mind that the comics are among the darkest comics ever made.
