I didn't like that much Batman Begins, IMO the 2 Batman films directed by T. Burton are the best. I'll watch the new one, hope that is better than the last one. When is it schedule for showing?

[Valerus]

This doesn't sound too bad. I really liked the first one.

Thats not really fair though, its a whole different movie, a different angle.

While I would have prefered someone else to play the joker (*cough* Edward Norton *cough*), I have no doubt I'll like The Dark Knight when it's finished. Nolan did an awesome job with Batman Begins, and I like his envisioning of the Batman atmosphere more than original. Too bad we'll have to wait a year or more to see the sequel. (N)

Luckily with the extra wait comes quality. Nolan is great!

@spacer: I certainly could not see Norton being the Joker... LOL. I guess every has there own image of him.

aaaa you can't say that, Nicholson was fantastic he completely stole the show, But Nolans Joker will be "different", much darker, and lunatic like. But it'll be interesting to see how Ledger does it.

I watched Burton's Batman again recently, while there's some great scenes in it, there's alot of things that just don't work like they did in Batman Begins... Like the fighting, Christian Bale would kick Michael Keaton's ass in terms of Batman.

Well, I think after Fight Club, Norton proves he can play the psychotic violent type. He also has the slim/pointy bone structure on his face that lends itself to a very sinister looking joker IMO. His voice has sort of high-pitch to it which would sound eerily creepy especially if used during a "Joker laugh". Plus, Norton as a whole is much higher caliber of actor than Ledger. So, I don't think Norton is such a far stretch to play Joker. :devil:

[Kev1n]

see you in december.

yeah Norton is a great actor. He could do a very good Joker, but he's already Bruce Banner.

eh, I just don't see it :pinch:

[benac]

Batman begins was great, I love the darker side the series is taking.

Joker (Ledger) kinda looks like a zombie. Will be interesting to see the Psycho approach they take in this film.

No, it's " seeYO u I n DEC e M bER "

[Dashel]

Thats a pretty sloppy looking Joker. Usually he's so clean cut.

[freedom77]

Yea, though I do like this image of him. It's interesting and different, and it also fits with the "realism" that Chris Nolan wants to put into the series.

First look: Enter the Joker ? in the IMAX formatb>

LOS ANGELES ? All directors promise that their sequels will be bigger and flashier than the predecessors'. But Christopher Nolan doesn't mess around.

The director's sequel to Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, will become the first feature film to be partly shot in the IMAX format, an expensive and cumbersome process that typically is the province of documentaries and short films.

Nolan will shoot four action sequences ? including the introduction of the Joker, played by Heath Ledger ? on IMAX.

The move is one of Hollywood's most pronounced steps yet in its embrace of IMAX theaters, which are increasingly showing commercial fare on their giant screens.

"There's simply nothing like seeing a movie that way," Nolan says. "It's more immersive for the audience. I wish I could shoot the entire thing this way."

Typically, the feature films that play in IMAX theaters are simply stretched out to fill the enormous screens. That can dilute the picture quality and give the movie a wide, squat look.

Shooting on IMAX, Nolan says, will have a twofold effect. The four scenes will fill the IMAX screens, some of which are eight stories high. And in traditional theaters, the scenes will appear more vivid (think high-definition television over standard).

Don't expect many movies to follow suit. Only 280 IMAX theaters are in operation worldwide, and fewer than 100 show feature films.

And shooting in the format is difficult. IMAX film, which is 10 times the size of standard film stock, is costly and must be shot using bulky cameras.

And "they're loud," Nolan says. "We had to figure a way to eliminate the sound so we could shoot dialogue."

In a rarity for Hollywood, the payoff isn't primarily financial, so far. "It doesn't have a huge effect yet on the money you bring in," says Chris Aronson, a distribution chief with 20th Century Fox, which carried Night at the Museum on IMAX. "But it does help make your movie more of an event."

For Nolan, IMAX makes the moviegoing experience unique again.

"You can't do this on any home theater," Nolan says. "Batman has some of the most extraordinary characters in pop culture. We wanted the Joker to have the grandest entrance possible.

"I figured if you could take an IMAX camera to Mount Everest or outer space, you could use it in a feature movie."

I like the new suit. Has a nice realistic feel to it, while reducing some of the excessive bulky feel of the costume from the previous film.

I just posted all the official pictures up on the first post.
