Yeah but out of so many films I think this is really their first comic book based film they score. The rest have been mostly done by Danny Elfman. So I guess they will open the doors for other great composers to score comic book films in the future.

even though they haven't done comic book movies before, i don't think it would be that big of a dilemma for them to make the changes they need to in order to score a batman movie.

Yeah I know I wasn't saying it as a bad thing I just meant that they can bring in more composers like themselves into comic book films by doing Batman Begins.

wait, so you're saying they bring in more composers than they really need?

I'm saying if great composers like them start doing Batman films then maybe other greats will follow and do other comic book films like for example Aquaman or Green Lantern.

Alright now! That makes more sense! At first, I thought you were starting to get picky about composers and then it would spawn this whole debate about composers like what happened about the bat suit and so forth.

Nothing new there yet.

Here is a unofficial teaser poster made by Paul J. Ware (A Batman-On-Film.Com reporter who was allowed a set visit). The picture of Batman in this poster is a real photo that Paul had permission to use. So this is the color the suit will appear as in the film.

mmm, Some how the cowl looks all wrong.

THE BATMAN

Comics Continuum has images and screen captures from this past Saturday's episode, "Call of the Cobblepot," featuring a much more spry Penguin. Producer Duane Capizzi described the character: "Penguin is the 'anti Bruce Wayne' -- Bruce has everything 'Ozzy' Cobblepot doesn't -- i.e., good looks and a fortune," Capizzi said. "The 'old money' Cobblepot fortune has long been squandered -- Penguin is obsessed with regaining his wealth, albeit by criminal means. Our Penguin will prove to be a bit more spry and physically adept than we're accustomed to, despite his bizarre anatomy."

when does the batman premiere on the kid's wb? i kind of don't want to watch this toon for the art is done is poorly and some of the designs of the characters don't do them justice. for example, the joker. have any of you seen pix of him? he looks horrible! >,<
