March 5, 200422 yr Christian Bale stars as the caped crusader Looks to be a great cast. I hope they do this character some justice this time around. Val Kilmer and George Clooney were horrible. :puke
March 5, 200422 yr Christian Bale is an awesome actor. Anyone seen Equilibrium or American Psycho? He should be good. I have read many different titles for this. Batman: Intimidation, Batman Begins, Batman One. Probably won't be a definite title til shooting is done. Christopher Nolan should be able to handle the directing reigns fine.
March 5, 200422 yr Filming in chicago eh? sweet. Chicago is a good choice for Gotham, and most people think Gotham was the DC comics version of Chicago since Superman's town Metropolis was obviously their New York. Hopefully the film is nice and grimy.
March 7, 200422 yr At first I thought the story may have been taken from Frank Miller's "Batman: Year One." But the character Ras al Ghul wasn't in "B: YO". Still, the casting for the new Batman movie is excellent. Hopefully Nolan will reinvigorate a once thriving franchise that Joel Schumacher screwed up.
March 7, 200422 yr Chicago is a good choice for Gotham, and most people think Gotham was the DC comics version of Chicago since Superman's town Metropolis was obviously their New York. Bob Kane has said in interviews that Gotham City's skyline was modeled after Chicago's skyline as far back as Batman's origins. Many of the Batman artists from today choose a variation of Chicago's skyline to emulate Gotham City.

March 7, 200422 yr I thought Metropolis was in Southern Illinois. It is. They have a huge Superman statue in the town square. I think they have a Superman Day down there too.
March 7, 200422 yr It is. They have a huge Superman statue in the town square. I think they have a Superman Day down there too. Well whaddayaknow. The statue is a good Curt Swan style Superman, too.

Val Kilmer and George Clooney were horrible. :puke Kilmer and Clooney did indeed suck ass. The only memorable line of that last one with Clooney in it was where Robin says something to Batman like "It's like I hardly recognize you anymore," an obvious self-reference to the crapfest shark-jumpery the Batman film franchise had fallen to.
March 8, 200422 yr Damn I hope they do this one right. Kilmer and Clooney sucked but so did Keaton. Hope they stick to the real origins of the charecters instead of inventing new ones this time.
