Crown it already, the best superhero movie ever made. Christian Bale = god, Christopher Nolan = god, supporting cast = god, and Heath Ledger as Joker = god and > Jack Nicholson.
I gotta admit it looks pretty sick. Have you seen the 6 minute bank-robbery footage that's been released on the web?
The footage is far from DVD quality, as is the sound. Regardless, its a quick clip that shows minimal action and therefore nothing that would give anything away from the plot. Really, all you can get from it is a quick glimpse into the madness that is the joker. <a href="http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/batman/the-6+minute-dark-knight-bank-heist-trailer-334675.php" target="_blank"> Can you resist from clicking here? </a>haha
I watched I Am Legend just to see that footage in Imax. I cannot wait. This movie will be friggin' incredible. I'm so glad Nolan has done justice to probably the best comic. And Heath Ledger's doing the Joker properly (no offense to Jack because he did good, but the Joker is way scarier and more dangerous than that).
The Nolan Batman's are such a breath of fresh air after having to deal with the sell-out films populated with Clooney and Arnold. I wouldn't mind seeing him take a darker view of other superhero films, even if it may not fit the traditional mold of the character (Batman was always a 'dark' story). For instance, and I'm just throwing this out there, but a Captain America set in realistic/dark/grimy times would be pretty interesting.
He should've done the Punisher. I was absolutely heartbroken after seeing how they butchered that movie.
They're re-making another Punisher movie, I've got no hopes for it...yet. Chutney is spot on though, Nolan is perfect for Punisher
Am I the only one who feels that American Psycho was Christian Bale's unofficial try-out for Bruce Wayne?

I'm telling you, there isn't an actor in the world that I would pick over Christian Bale to play the Billionaire playboy role, he nails it spot on. His Bruce Wayne, imo, is slightly better than his Batman.
I can't wait for this movie at all. I've seen teaser trailers for it at the last couple of movies I've been to and it looks amazing. However, I can't crown Heath Ledger as the best Joker since I haven't seen it. And quite frankly, he's got some tremendous shoes to fill because Jack was absolutely brilliant as the Joker and it's very difficult for me to envision anyone else playing it until they top his performance.
I have not seen the trailer yet. Nolan > T. Burton. They should have gotten R. Donner (Lethal Weapon) initially. TB was dark yet too quirky. Schumacher nearly destroyed the franchise. Nipples on the batsuit... Why not just get Adam West instead of George or Val.

I enjoyed Ghost Rider (movie) but found the comics too pretentious and supernatural. I'd like to see Kevin 'Silent Bob' Smith get a Superhero movie to direct. He was up for Superman returns. He could not have done any worse than the goober that did it. There is a remake/redo of Hulk coming out 6/13 with Edward Norton.

I remember I was so excited about the Hulk when it first came out (I love superhero stuff, no idea why) but then I went to see the move and saw little Hulk hopping around like a bunny rabit, and I was like wtf?

But his Bruce Wayne is so perfect, it doesn't matter.
