imdb entry

i thought there was talk of batman one which gave
backstory on the whole plot, and was suposed to be really
dark.

this sounds like it's just going to be another in the
series.

Christian Bale is the worst actor ever to come across my
wide-screen. It'll be interesting to see what a fool he
makes of himself as Batman.

Yeah the director of Memento and Insomnia, Christopher Nolan
is to be the director.

i think it actually looks pretty cool. They are starting
over from the begining, retelling the story of Batman's
origins. It will take place shortly after Batman: Year One
so i suppose it will be loosely based on the Frank Miller
Batman graphic novels.

lots of info here

what would be really nice would be if the batman films
hadn't happened at all.. and that they were about to kick
off now, serial style from the start.
they wouldn't be put out hollywood-conveyor-belt-style with
changing actors, silly fads, inconsistencies in scenario +
1960s burt-ward-batman oneliners.. there would be an overall
concept, sticking closely to best of the graphic novels.
they could get tim burton to direct (as i thought his visual
stylistics were the best things about the batman films he
did) but get a really tight script/screenplay writer in to
make sure that the film is watertight as far as plot +
dialogue are concerned.. they could give each film a
different feel by emplying different directors (as they
have).. but the writing team would stay the same to make
sure the backbone of the films remained constant - instead
of just degenerating into a string of loosly associated
summer blockbusters.

mmmm..

what could have been..

I was hoping Darron Arronsky(sp, Pi and Req for A Dream Guy)
was gonna direct it. But the memento guy is not too shabby.
The Pi guy actually did a lot of preliminary screenplay
work with Frank Miller which I guess is all out the window
now. Have you guys seen the new Catwoman trailer? Its so
fucking lame.

Halle Berry's Catwoman costume is the most hideous and
unsexy thing I've ever seen. I remember jerking it to
Michelle Pheiffer, and she wasn't even showing a hint of
skin. That's how hot it was.

one thing's for sure, it should be better than the last few
batman flicks. i'm curious to see what Nolan can do with
this subject matter.

haven't seen the catwoman trailer yet, will have to check it
out.

i said few because ive honestly lost count of this sad
runaway-train franchise now.
i lost interest after the first two.. which were the best
(primarily because of tim burton's visual + atmospheric
flair) ..but they could have had tighter scripts. in my
opinion.

They could've been better certainly, but they weren't
gigantic messes. And Batman had Jack Nicholson in for crying
out loud.

i thought nicholson was a horrible joker.

not at all how i imagine him from reading the books.

it was just nicholson doing his charming yet irrational
thing.

and he doesnt have the right physical presence at all for
that character.

and burton really threw some cheesy lines out there too.

Well I was never into the comic books or whatever existed
before the Tim Burton film, so I was pleased with Jack
Nicholson as the joker. I thought it was perfect really.

some info i found at Darkhorizons.com:

Variety ran an article today with heaps of new details on
the upcoming "Batman" movie set to begin shooting at the end
of the month in Iceland.

First off expect this Bats to be grounded more in reality
which is why there's no costumed villains, little focus on
gadgets, and a bigger role for Bruce Wayne - Director Chris
Nolan says "I felt like doing the origins story of the
character, which is a story that's never been told before.
The world of Batman is that of grounded reality, ours will
be a recognizable, contemporary reality against which an
extraordinary heroic figure arises".

Helping that reality is Gotham City which won't be the
stylised version we've seen in the Burton/Schumacher films,
rather most of it will be on-location work in New York &
London which will be assembled together to reinvent Gotham
as a modern day metropolis - "Gotham will seem like this
great city in a contemporary world and will be created
through various cities, we are trying to avoid a villagey
feel for Gotham, as it starts to get claustrophobic".

Expect the marketing angle to call this a re-imagining of
the Batman franchise - WB Production Pres Jeff Robinov says
"It's almost impossible to reinvent Batman, Chris is
reintroducing Batman, and it feels smart and cool and fresh.
That's no
disrespect to the other movies, but it's really Chris'
vision of Batman, and that's what we're supporting".

Nolan's vision as such sounds interesting - "Few superheroes
have the sense of purpose and destiny that Batman has. He is
driven by an incredible sense of rage,
sadness and grief because of the tragedy of his parents'
murder at an early
age. To me, Batman is the most interesting superhero because
he doesn't have
any superpowers. He is very human".

Backed with a $150 million budget, and a new musical theme,
expect this psychologically deep and conflicted movie not to
be too dark thankfully.
