YES! Thank you! I actually avoided reading this thread at all until I saw the movie, but now it's just got vague spoiler-ish stuff. Not really spoilers. But yes yes, spoilers next week!

I saw it tonight. Was about what I expected. Better than any other comic book movie I've seen, but not an absolutely amazing movie either. When Bale talked as Batman it sounded like he was trying to sound like Clint Eastwood.

I can't say anything good about the movie itself, but the theater itself was great.  The movie was bad, but we went to the theater with the good popcorn salt. If it would have been a theater that only had table salt I would have refused to go in.....

Enjoyed the film. Beautifully done.
I absolutely hate what they do to female characters in comic book films.
Most of the time they're window dressing. Maggie G.'s character was so blah.

Margot Kidder and Christopher Reeve had the best chemistry.

Ya know, it really pisses me off that they did that. I still say whomever suggested that should be fired. Then they had the nerve to keep showing his mouth with his lisp.
And Bale made a real goof-off Bruce Wayne, too. Maybe they thought his voice was too goof-offy to be Batman's voice.

With exception for The Dark Knight, the first 2 Batman movies were the best.
I had forgotten how GOOFY Batman Forever was with Val Kilmer, Tommy Lee Jones (as Two-Face  ) and Jim Carey (as The Riddler ).

I actually liked Jim Carey! The ones I hated was the one with Arnold, and the one w/ the Penguin.

I apologize, that's what I meant. (I should really be apologizing to Jack Nicholson  I love him) I know he's the ideal Riddler to many but I didn't like him.
The one with Arnold sucked but who else would've played Mr. Freeze?

I happened to be reading about the Batman franchise on wikipedia today actually. According to a (sourced) statement there,
Quote:
|
Anthony Hopkins, Patrick Stewart, and Ben Kingsley were all considered for the role of Mr. Freeze, though ultimately Arnold Schwarzenegger was cast because Joel Schumacher decided that Mr. Freeze must be "big and strong like he was chiseled out of a glacier".

Wow. Here's the link:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batman_...29#Development
It almost makes me want to go back and watch all the movies... I remember really liking Tim Burton's original. I don't remember the second one well enough to comment. And for the Schumacher installments I was in late elementary/middle school so I don't remember picking up on TEH SUCK. Another interesting note on wikipedia is how some people perceived the films to be homoeroticized by Schumacher. I can't really comment on that since I don't remember and those perceptions could be the product of homophobia. But I REALLY want to go back and watch those for the pure cheese factor alone.

I think Arnold was a good choice is "big" is what they were going for. I read today that there was a "Batman fan debate" about Jim Carey vs. Heath Ledger for The Joker. I guess that's where I got The Joker from in my other post. Carey as The Joker would've sucked worse than Carey as The Riddler. He acts the same in most of his movies.
LOL @ TEH SUCK
Hmmmm...homoeroticized? I guess there are all sorts of images in movies depending on the observer.
On the warner bros site you can purchase the DVDs. I have no interest in revisiting the last 2 Batman movies. At all. I would like to see the first 2 movies again.
