They are coming out with a animated Batman dvd July 8th with 6 different stories kind of like the Animatrix that should seem pretty sweet.

Anyone know where I could find episodes of Batman the Animated Series or is it even offered on DVD?

look on the last page, there are some links posted.

I just saw a knight's tale where heath ledger was extremely lame so my expectations have been dampened somewhat

6/20/2008 10:22:34 PM

^^ sweet website its going to take me a while to get through all of those.

This may be a mute point now, but I am curious as to why they settled on casting Christian Bale as bruce/batman.

IMO, he is not that great of an actor nor is he that handsome. I would think that it could have been Jude Law FTW.

Any thoughts?

6/21/2008 6:11:59 PM

no comment. it is definitely mute.

6/21/2008 6:14:15 PM

JUDE LAW?

back before anyone knew who the joker was he was who i was saying for the joker role

jude law would be a fucking terrible bruce wayne

6/21/2008 7:04:46 PM

OK, that was just an idea. But, why Bale?

6/21/2008 7:52:00 PM

m00t!

6/21/2008 7:57:07 PM

christian bale is a fantastic actor, and is pretty good looking. i don't really think anyone in this thread will agree with you.

American Psycho FTW

Batman Begins

6/21/2008 10:10:38 PM

i personally would have cast thomas jane as bruce wayne

but that'd have been awkward with aaron eckhart playing two-face, since the two look goddamn identical

[Edited on June 21, 2008 at 10:19 PM. Reason : jane's angry punisher voice >>>> bale's batman voice]

6/21/2008 10:17:08 PM

this may be a mute point, but ashton kutcher would have been the best choice

6/21/2008 10:28:49 PM

someone explain to me what a "mute" point is

is it deaf as well?

Christian Bale is the best Bruce Wayne I've seen. MILES better than fucking Clooney. Yeeugh.
Once again, talking about alternative casting choices, my vote was in to just cast Mark Hamil as Joker and CGI over how old the fucker is, but NO, they had to go for someone who apparently could portray an unstable psycho pretty well...
Oh wait.

6/22/2008 3:06:56 AM

I was wrong when i said that he was not handsome. Of course he is big, and that does indeed fit the comic role

6/23/2008 2:02:31 PM

um...bale is a great bruce/batman. Jude Law would be a TERRIBLE batman, he is the opposite of masculinity. Do you want a sniveling, scrawny, batman?

6/23/2008 2:14:23 PM

Jude Law is probably the worst idea I have ever heard.

Empire of the Sun!

6/25/2008 12:58:45 PM

^^According to a recent interview with Wall Pfister, the cinematographer, all of the action sequences were filmed for IMAX, and IMAX is how he and Nolan recommend seeing it.

And he also specifically advised against seeing it at a theater with digital projection. Something about the colors not being optimized for digital.

6/25/2008 5:39:27 PM

Yeah, all of the action scenes and the first scene in which the Joker is revealed were all filmed with IMAX.

Sounds cool.

6/25/2008 6:44:26 PM

heh, apparently Adam West isn't a fan of the Dark Knight:

he is not pleased

6/26/2008 9:57:37 AM

I don't feel like going back and re-reading...but did anyone else catch the first 5 minutes (or however long it was) of this movie online a few months ago?

Basically the jokers hilarious and awesome bank robbery...

Twas cool as shit.

6/26/2008 12:41:13 PM

Well based on that article, West likely wasn't a fan of the 1989 movie. He doesn't bash the movie so much as he says he prefers the way they did things in 60s.

Maaaaaan, I got a bad feeling their site is gonna be on the skids tonight and orders won't be able to be processed. I just tried buying some tickets for some of the other movies they are offering and it didn't go through.
It said this: "We are sorry. We are experiencing technical difficulties while attempting to reserve your tickets."

6/26/2008 11:52:13 PM

got my tix

6/27/2008 10:42:36 AM

I heard they were putting Val Kilmer, the new batman, george clooney, and the old batman, and mr. west himself, in the same movie! Ohh yeah, and the new and old robins are going to be in it too! Isnt that just awesome!

6/27/2008 10:48:27 AM

Probably just pissed he doesn't get to have a cameo like all the other comic or tv show based movies of late.
