    This movie was so eerie with the new and deranged version of the Joker. That mystique has now increased with Ledger's odd death. I am pumped for this movie and it looks to be a box office smash.

    Keaton had the best Batman voice IMO. His Bruce Wayne had moments. Bale, though, is the best all around.

    The part in Batman Begins w/ the European chicks and buying the hotel was classic Bruce Wayne.

    I just saw some clips of TDK on Countdown as they were talking about the Ledger tragedy and holy shizzle... I can't wait.

    Chutney is spot on though, Nolan is perfect for Punisher</div>

    I enjoyed the Punisher movie was okay. The comic books just never did anything for movie. The movie at least had a sense of humor. 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.

    Idunno, man. I have the graphic novel of the series they based the majority of that movie from (the "Welcome Back, Frank" series) and I thought they re-did a couple memorable scenes, but skimmed through the majority of the plot and totally missed the atmosphere/mood you get from the comics. It should've been a lot darker, they needed to do a better job of building up his family's death (I didn't feel enough of an attachment to truly empathize), and the villains needed to be more heartless (casting Travolta was a mistake). But most of all, the comics really convey how much of an uphill battle it is for the Punisher, whereas you never felt that sense of desperation/hopelessness in the film.

    Also, they screwed up royally by not including the zoo scene. That was friggin' awesome in the comics.
