I'm excited - somewhat. I haven't been thrilled with the film treatments of Frank Miller yet.

Didn't you see Batman Begins? Great film.

Was that from a Frank Miller book?

Anyway, that was good - but I also saw Sin City and 300 - neither was terrible, but neither came close to Miller's own work.

No, they drew from Miller's material, but it was its own story; I meant that this is a sequel to Begins.

Well, that's true, and I like Bale, but (Lord rest his soul) I've only really liked Ledger in one role.

Am looking forward to this, I think they did a great job with the first one.

I still maintain that Mask of the Phantasm is superior to all the live action films

I really liked Batman Begins despite being really skeptical. This new serious look into hero movies seems to pay off. Bond's just the same way.

Totally agreed. It's almost like studios finally realized that actual story + realism = good movie and good returns.

That is really the only way to translate Frank Miller. However, this film has Heath Ledger in it, which as I've said is a dubious note.

What are you talking about? That role is to die for.

I would stake money on his performance in this, if I were a gambling person. The role got into his head so much that he couldn't sleep, and ended up od'ing on perscription pills. I'd say he put a lot into it.

I dunno. I rather liked the REALLY old style bonds, with the weird death machines and Oddjobb and all that. Do you expect me to talk? Heh. I mean, i'm all for realism in mostmovies - after all, im the one who complained loudly during both the Torchwood season finale and the last Dr who about the directors completley fluffing nuclear saftey protocols - But at the same time i like the over the top Blowfeld style bond villains and traps. Im just a sucker for Art Deco, i suppose =p

I really need to catch batman begins. I think i avoided it the first time because the adverts gave the idea that most of it would be Bruce Wayne moping around being depressed. Which, yeah, is understandable seeing ashis parents were killed, but as Spiderman 3 shows, gets boring after about the 8th shot of it. Well, that or unintentionally funny. Hehe, emo spider man xD

What I was referring to is the fact that Ned Kelly was the only role in which I liked Ledger's performance.

July 24th!
Absolutely loved Batman Begins - my favourite superhero film ever, and still up there in any genre - so can't wait for this.
