Batman Begins Teaser

Just saw the Batman Begins teaser and I have to say that I was very impressed with it.

Seriously, Batman and DC Comics have a very tough act to follow, with Marvel Comics kicking DC Comics' ass in the gutter. And if you have seen "Spider-Man 2" and went into full system shock as to how awesome that movie is, all I can say is that Christopher Nolan has 11 1/2 months to prove to movie audiences that Batman is just as definitive a comic book franchise as Spider-Man or any of Marvel's comic book franchises.

Theres already a thread about this here http://www.killermovies.com/forums/f50/t302478.html

"Batman" is only considered a "super hero" by some, because he was one of the original crime fighters during the inception of the phrase "super hero". He got a free pass.

"Punisher" is just some dork with guns and a nasty disposition. A super hero, he is not.

BTW, just click the button if there are like threads.

maybe it will show plp how a "super hero" can make be more then a bad movie, since alot of the other's suck well other then spider-man and x-men. but i guess acording to CD's view and other's batman cant be a super hero since he has no super power.

There was a time several years ago when DC Comics dominated in comic book movies, but they only had two notable franchises: Superman and Batman. Both franchises went on to produce four movies each, but both franchises were killed after their fourth films bombed (i.e., Superman IV and Batman and Robin). And now, both franchises are being restarted again.

I will admit that Batman was a great comic book franchise for its time, but after "Batman" debuted in 1989 everyone thought that there would be a resurgence and renaissance of comic book movies. That didn't really happen until 13 years later when "Spider-Man" destroyed every conceivable box office record possible (only to have "Spider-Man 2" top them two years later).

BTW, Marvel Comics wasn't always successful. They had one comic book movie that completely bombed: Captain America from 1992.

Today, Marvel Comics is just raking in all the box office dough, and part of the reason of their success is that they have more interesting and appealing comic book characters: Spider-Man, The Hulk, The X-Men, Punisher, Daredevil, Man-Thing, Fantastic Four.

Batman doesn't have a specific superpower such as shooting lasers off his fingertips or whatever, but he does have an origin story. And origin stories are fundamental in translating a comic book to the big screen. In the case of Batman Begins, we're going to witness the evolution of Bruce Wayne to Batman (and see if, from "Batman" in 1989, The Joker really did kill Batman's parents).

BATMAN is the true hero, and deserves one last chace to ressurect himself on film. I think christian bale and nolan will make a good combination. Yeah d.c is far from being intimidated by marvel, infact they even agreed to fund some of marvels comic projects which there still getting royalties off of, back when before all the marvel movie madness, and marvel went bankrupt. Thankfully blade saved the day, and open the way for x-men and everyone else. D.c has some comission with marvel

I think Batman is the closest to Marvel that DC ever got. 😉 The stories focus more on the human side of the hero rather than how bad ass they are. Super-Man 1 pulled this off as well. Also what helped Marvel is the fact that computers have become such an intregal part in special effects for film, Marvel can now to anything they want on screen. As long as it can be imagined, it can be done. Marvel held off on making their movies where DC jumped the gun and made crap like Batman 4. I think 5 will be ***'s deluxe! This is what made comic books so magical. An artist's, inker's, colorer's drawing on paper didn't and doesn't cost million's of dollars to inject an image into your brain like some movies do. Comic books give you enough insight as to how a situation can look with very few frames shown to you. Comic books give you an idea of exactly how the creator's want you to see Spider-Man, or HULK in a few frames, but they leave most of the action up to your imagination. In comics, they draw the important beats, and in movies, they fill in the blanks so you don't have to think as much, you become part of the journey through absence of peripheral vision; dark theatre, a focal point to watch as sounds and images carry you away. 😬 Marvel sort of waited for the right time. Batman Five Teaser was kick ass by the way. I saw it today. 🙂

The teaser looks wicked ✅

The Teaser is old news foo.

I mean I know I should give it a try but it is hard because I love the other movies (well not the last one)and this kind of spoilers it by making another one of them.
Also Bale would not make a good batman I don't think.But if you guys go see it I hope you enjoy it anyway!See you around.JM 💃
