I love BB. Hands down the best so far in the franchise. But I do think it has lost it's comic book feel. A little too real perhaps?

Burton's first Batman was also great. While it was "kiddy", it also had a style to it. BB didn't have that. That said, I can't wait for TDK.

Kiddy? Have you seen the same movies I have?

All the characters in the first two Burton films were essentially psychopaths that killed people left and right, the films were very dark, more so than Batman Begins imo.

^ I wouldn't say Burtons was kiddy, that was definitely Joel, but I wouldn't say Burtons were darker than Nolan's. They both have a different take on dark/disturbed. Burtons had more of a comic book feel to it, where Nolan's have a disturbing level of realism, and thats what makes them so good imo. Comic book stuff is nice and all, but I'd much rather take the ideas of a comic and make it into something real and believable. I guess its more of an adult comic if you know what I mean.

I like both Burton's films and Batman Begins. But they are both different.

For example, in Burton's Batman movies. It didn't explain how he got into the suit and somehow magically appeared at the site with the thieves. Or how he got the car. He JUST did/had it. It was mysterious.

Batman Begins seemed like it wanted to explain and justify every little thing. I missed the mysteriousness of not knowing exactly how something was done.

I just this second finished watching Batman Begins all the way through and I have to say its probably the best Batman movie out there I mean it was Dark and was genuine to the story I thought and loved the little Joker bit at the end!

I agree with them both being dark, But I never really saw Burtons as "comic book" like, in terms of style. Infact I'd go so far as to say Nolans was more in it's own world, more fantastic in it's style. Where as Burtons had the whole raw gothic industrial thing going on.

Also has anyone else noticed how in Burtons films Batman can't fight compared to Batman Begins.

Yea it gets better ever time I watch it! Though, while I much prefer Batman Begins, I love the intro to Burtons Batman, with the thugs on the roof top. It's just awesome. In many ways I feel the rest of the movie doesn't live up to the intro.

UPDATE #6: And the mail has arrived! Fans have started posting on the SHH! Boards that their special package has come which includes 25 copies of "The Gotham Times" newspaper (4 pages long), including about 20 articles "ranging from Bruce Wayne's partying ways, to Batman saving the day, to Harvey Dent tip lines bringing in corrupt cops." You can view pics here.

In the newspaper, there is a small classified ad that reads: "Charming handsome man with dazzling smile seeks amateur clowns for discreet encounters. No previous sense of humor nexessary. Criminal record a plus. Interested? Write to [email protected] in the full understanding that we have your email address and might send you alarming, disturbing, or annyoing material at any moment."

This is what you get as a reply if you e-mail that address: "See you found my little message. So, do you think you have what it takes to be a part of my circle of friends? Are you a backstabbing, self-promoting, ambitious clown who will do anything to prove yourself to me? If so, the first step of your application process awaits...if you know where to look."

Stay tuned to TheGothamTimes.com on Friday, which we assume would be an online version of the above mentioned newspaper articles.

Reply: I'm Gina's Aunt Gail and I'm maintaining this website for my sister, Gina's mother. Thank you for your remembrance of Gina. So many people have moved away from the old neighborhood that it's easy to forget how many people are still here. When we first moved here, I can remember we used to all sit on the stoops and the whole neighborhood knew each other. But that was before the Stratalinni's Grocery on the corner was burned down--I remember Gina and her sister used to beg for quarters to go down there and buy candy.

It was a different place then. Now I know my son will never allow my new grandson to go down to the avenue on his own. Everybody is locked up tight in the evening, we don't see each other. It takes a tragedy to remember we have neighbors.

Thank you for reminding us.

Sorry for the semi-hijack, but I had to comment-

you kind of looks like a Danny Elfman / Oingo Boingo take on the Joker.

that's cool.
