Big Perm Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 no way - a chase scene on Lower Wacker is always awesome.ridiculous is my way of saying - AMAZING Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I wonder if we shall see a lot of fellows dressed up as the Joker Nurse this Halloween? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JUDE Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 This is pretty much the only real problem I had with the film. Did he want people to think he was Harvey Fierstein? http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=w2yv8aT0UFc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
a.miller Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 WOW -- just saw this and I was totally blown away. This was also my first Imax movie experience, which is really cool. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobbob1313 Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Wish I could see the Imax, but it's sold out for like 2 weeks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
a.miller Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Wish I could see the Imax, but it's sold out for like 2 weeks.The scenes where you see Gotham city are absolutely awesome in Imax. Do yourself a favor an buy some tickets for two weeks from now!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zebra Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 This 'poster' has been floating around a few boards. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yermom Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 I think you could have lost the whole Hong Kong scene and certainly the Scarecrow scene and devoted more time to developing Harvey Dent's character.No way! Those few minutes of Cillian Murphy were one of my favorite parts of the film! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KevinG Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 This 'poster' has been floating around a few boards. I am gonna call fake on this Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EL the Famous Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 I am gonna call fake on this and I am gonna agree. it makes no sense. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
explodo Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 and I am gonna agree. it makes no sense.It would have if (Spoiler, if I still need to care) Heath Ledger wasn't dead. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouieB Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Saw the film last weekend and must say it is damn good, well good for a film of this sort I suppose. Chicago/Gotham never looked so good. But let's be honest, a chase scene on lower Wacker is getting a bit stale. There are many films this has been done in, so maybe it is now time to retire this. I know people like it (driving it in real life can be an adventure too, just in case some of you have never done it...), but it is getting a bit tired. In any event I enjoyed the fuck out of this movie. Even the irritating Batman growl, while I thought it was somewhat bizarre, wasn't that bad. Heath Ledger had better get an Oscar for this sucker.

My least favorite part of the film, because the direction decisions placed it on the level of most standard action sequences. The only yawn of the film. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jakobnicholas Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 My least favorite part of the film, because the direction decisions placed it on the level of most standard action sequences. The only yawn of the film. Other than the final scene with Two-Face and Gordon. Once the Joker story wrapped up, I just didn't care at all about Two-Face and Gordon and Gordon's family. The Dark Knight's brilliance is the Joker and his relationship with Batman. The rest, to me, was filler. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 That escape from Arkham poster is so fake that I would even question the assumption that the creator's intention was to fool anybody. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Moe_Syzlak Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Not Dark Night related, but a nice little story about one of its stars... and I didn't want to start a whole new thread. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Moses Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 I just didn't really like this movie. I thought I'd love it, but I didn't think it was a very good movie, in terms of the actual artistic value of the filmmaking. If that makes any sense. It was poorly cut, and that really put me off. Ledger was remarkable though. I will see this movie a few more times at least, solely for his stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mfwahl Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 From Paste:This is special. The mayor of a Turkish town called Batman said he will explore legal options to sue Christopher Nolan, director The Dark Knight and Batman Begins, for using the town's name. It apparently took half a dozen films to awaken the town Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 From Paste: These people must not even know about the comic books, TV show, or all the other movies. There are other uses of the term also. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EL the Famous Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 better watch it, bus-stop...there may be a town somewhere in turkey w/ your name on it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
