    Excited about the new Batman movie?

     

    I was and then I read this and what excitement I had has been multiplied a thousand fold.

    From the Wikipedia article summarising the first reviews:

     

     

    "The Dark Knight has been met with wide critical acclaim. Peter Travers of Rolling Stone gave The Dark Knight 3.5 out of 4 stars, calling the film "haunting and visionary" and commenting that it "soars on the wings of untamed imagination". He particularly praised Nolan and Ledger, who he suggested could get a posthumous Academy Award nomination.[110] Larry Carroll, a film news writer for MTV Networks, praised the cinematography and described it as "the best Batman movie ever made.[111][112] Emanuel Levy gave the film an A, stating the film is "nothing short of brilliant" and "the best and scariest comic hero adaptation you are likely to see this summer season, and perhaps during the whole year."[113] Film director Kevin Smith was astounded by the film, declaring it "an epic", "The Godfather II of comic book movies", and "close to a masterpiece".[114] Todd Gilchrist of IGN gave the film a 10/10 and 5 stars stating that "Nolan's sequel surpasses the original with an intense, disturbing masterpiece".[115]"

    Fuck me, I can’t wait for this shit. Christopher Nolan has done it. Again.

     The batman movies were trash until "Begins". This one should be fucking great. I'm glad Bale will be wearing the suit again.

    What do you want?

    In case anyone didn't catch the same links I did, Christian Bale said 1) the only genre of movie he will never appear in is romantic comedy because they're all garbage, and 2) essentially, he will not want to continue doing Batman if Robin is ever introduced.

    As if his movies weren't good enough, he's actually  fucking awesome on top of it.

     I don't know about you Bob but I thought American Psycho was fucking great.

    Indeed. I'm expecting greatness from The Dark Knight.

    Maybe it's just me, but I am yet to see a Bale film that I didn't either like or love. He's proving to be quite the picky yet tasteful bastard. Bring Christopher Nolan who seems incapable of making a bad movie and we have this.

    Saw extended preview at Convention this year.  Looks great, more interested in Harvey Dent/Two-Face development than the Joker.  Yeah, I am a big comic geek.  Looking more forward to Watchmen next year.

    I really hope I can check this film out shortly after it comes out, like, Sunday or Monday after it's Friday release.

    If Watchmen ends up sucking i'm going to be fucking pissed. Seriously.

     

    Batman will be great though. Nolan is talented as hell.
