Maybe, got this feeling a scene exactly like that is in one of the comics or graphic novels...
Yeah the 'pish posh batsy' stuff sounds very much closer to the spirit of the comics joker than anything from Batman 89. The good thing is that nolan (and his brother, who has cowritten the script, they've got rid of the idiot goyer who was responsible for some of the clunkier bits of BB's script) is a massive fan of the comics, so we know it's in quite safe hands to be quite true to the comics and not take huge liberties (Joker killing batman's parents was just crazy in b89)

Yeah I never liked that contrivance of linking the Joker and BM in that way. That's good to hear about the co-writer too!

It's like The Killing Joke, but written by an adolescent fanboy instead of Alan Moore. Which it very probably was.Kid_Eternity said:

Yeah goyer is starting to be notorious for bad scripts. While Batman Begins had enough good stuff in it for his influence not tbe noticed, he also made Blade 3 into a complete travesty.

Oh god yeah B3 was crap (bit of a shame because number two wasn't too bad)!
Yeah i actually quite liked blade 2. The weird megavampire things were quite well realised. But 3 was really poor, even by mindless enjoyment stnadards...

Er, not sure about that tbh. I really hope they don't get too silly with all manner of Bat machines, copters, submarines or something! It'll start to be a bit like the scissors on the bat plane in the first film...
Hey come on! This is nolan! With his 'ultra realistic' approach! It's not going to get too silly! And it should still be allowed a certain degree of 'fun' otherwise there's no point in it being Batman! I think he is getting the balance just right...

Nope, sorry the bike looks naff. I liked Batman Begins because it was a real attempt to drop all that stupidity with the earlier films, returning to that form is one way to get me to not bother with the newer ones.

Poll?
Rot.
They should be going for something more like this:

The earlier films were bad because they fucked around with the characters. I did like Batman Returns because it is an utterly gorgeous film, possibly the most stunning-looking mainstream/action film ever. But even the burton films fucked up in a number of ways, like the really crap depiction of jim gordon (which Nolan got absolutely spot on), etc. And let's not even mention the fucking nipples on the batsuit in batman and robin, the camp bits, the bat credit card, etc.
There's nothing innately wrong with batman having a bike/plane/helicopter. It was all the other stuff which was wrong.
