Just watched it, and thought it was alright.

The only thing that makes it truly epic is the Joker. I got a bit bored during some of the other bits, but whenever it was a Joker bit it made the whole thing worthwhile.

He is my favourite villain of all time now. 'specially with his pencil disappearing trick.

Spoiler:
The magic trick scene had me laughing my head off, totally unexpected


This was the first -new- batman movie I have seen, and my only beef with the movie was Batman himself.

I guess I am too attached with the other previous movies to think that, but whatever. It was still a great movie.

Yeah, most likely my number one superhero movie, up there with the first Batman Begins and Iron Man.

Just came back from seeing it. Oh my God. It completly lived up to every bit of the hype. Ledger was just...astounding. Best superhero movie ever? Definately. Best action movie of the last ten years? Possibly...

I can just see Jack Sparrow in a green spandex suit with question marks on it.

I read on a few blogs some potential casting for next movie's villain. People are throwing around Johnny Depp for The Riddler, Angelina Jolie for Catwoman, and Phillip Seymour Hoffman for The Penguin.

Apparently Angelina is really interested in portraying Catwoman. I feel like it's waaaay too early for confirmed casting. So it's all just speculation.

Christian Bale has said he will not do a Batman movie with Robin in it.

@FX: If they do Robin...I will lose all hope for humanity, abandon the Batman films forever, and hide in a closest until I die.

Seriously, Batman works alone, having him communicate with another hero just ruins the whole thing. Besides, if they wanted to show Robin in a very good light, they'd have to show him do something that Batman fails at, and Batman failing...just...no.

They should totally bring in the Bat Dog though, xD.

Anyway, that said, after thinking about it, I think that if they did the Riddler right, they could have him be the next villian. Sure, his comic book version is very similiar to Joker, but if he was in Christopher Nolan's world, he could be altered to be a little less insane, and be more of a genius who happens to be working against Batman.

Also, if you wanted to stretch it a bit more...have Riddler working with the police, at least for a little while, doing crimes for which he never gets caught, until Batman reveals his true colors.

Yeah, still a bit lame, that's why I like Bane as the next villain...

The Gruff Voiced Guardian is going to be the title of the third one. Seriously, I can understand making your voice deeper, but what Bruce was doing just got silly in the longer dialogues.

Just watch, just to piss you all off Christopher Nolan will pick Cat Man and Captain Boomerang for the Caped Crusader, or whatever he chooses to name the third movie.

Saw it last night finally, utterly amazing. I was sort of disappointed in how short-lived Two Face was, though (but not as bad as Scarecrow).

There's only one logical next villain: The Penguin

Dun dun dunnnn.

I've been thinking: what if they introduce Robin? True, Robin is the least respected superhero next to Aquaman, but I think they could do it. We've already got Batman impersonators trying to fight crime, so what if one of them just manages to get it right? Especially with Batman in his current situation, he could be somewhat successful at taking his place. Who knows; if anyone can do it, it's Nolan.

Also, in retrospect, I doubt they'd use someone like Hush, who would directly attack Batman/Bruce. It'd have to be someone causing much more threat in order to fit the last lines of the movie:

Spoiler:
"He's the hero we deserve, but not the one we need right now." Or something along those lines. Something would have to come along to make them need someone like him... or something.

True, they've been avoiding superpowered stuff.

Hush would be really interesting, because of the character dynamics, which is something Nolan is really into.

That's what I was saying myself, the Joker was just batshit insane in this while still being incredibly brilliant and cunning. Most of his plans went flawlessly and the police, Batman, etc, funked up more than a few times. The only way I could see the Riddler working and being different from this is if he stayed in background more and just left "clues" out there or whatever, but yeah.

I'd say Nolan's depiction of the Joker here is easily one of the best. Especially in the sense that it was obvious the Joker didn't really want Batman dead, he wanted them to both go at it like that endlessly. Really chaotic.

Yeah, I thought he was going to be actually important in this one.

I think they should do a slightly more obscure villain, like Clayface or Hush.

No, because there are high chances they'd cast Halle Barry.



Are you serious?! They wouldn't hire Halle Barry EVER. This series of Batman movies don't do shit like that. They proved it when they hired Heath Ledger. They're about reinventing the characters to fit in this universe. they wouldn't hire an actress that butchered the role, let alone someone who did it good. (e.g, Jack Nicholson).

Ehhh. The Riddler is a lot like the Joker. I guess it's logical, but it seems like it would just be doing the same thing.
