    Re: Batman 2 Discussion

    It was a watchable movie, no doubt, but nothing too interesting, imo, if you've seen every Mr. Freeze episode.

    Mask of the Phantasm, though, was a freaking good movie.

      Mystery of the Batwoman: This was actually on tv here yesterday but by time I found out it was almost done. I kinda mentally kicked myself for missing it.

      Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker: I'm not a huge fan of the Batman Beyond series but I thought this movie was pretty good.
      Mask of the Phantasm was great.

      If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

        Mask of the Phantasm was the best Batman movie made until Batman Begins came out. SubZero is entertaining, but like others have said, its pretty much just an extended Mr. Freeze episode only Robin is given a large part. I've never seen Mystery of the Batwoman. And Return of the Joker is excellent, very well written. Prettty much all of those DVD's can be had for around 10 bucks so I'd recommend Phantasm and Joker for sure, and if you like Mr. Freeze and have some spare cash, SubZero is worth it too.

            Update!

            BAT 2 Update
            Author: Jett
            Wednesday, July 26, 2006 - 8:55 AM CENTRAL TIME: Well, it begins. From this point on, expect the news and rumors to really pick up. Here’s our first report from one of our sources who has been tremendous for BOF in the past. Here’s what he had to tell us:

            As rumored and expected, The Joker is going to be nothing like Nicholson’s version from B89. “What would be the point in trying to recreate something that was done so well then?”
            Expect to see a back story for The Joker and we shouldn’t expect to see him until the middle of the film. “Like Batman in BEGINS.”
            The Joker will not be the only villain in the film. “I know you’ve heard this before but trust me -- Nolan and his brother have a couple of surprises up their sleeves!”
            “Heath Ledger is perfect for the role as he has never played this kind of part before which is what Nolan was after. Think about it -- if you see Sam Rockwell or Robin Williams or even Hugo Weaving, you’d know exactly how they would play the role before even seeing the film and that’s not very intriguing for fans is it? I have a feeling Paul Bettany was out of the mix after his performance in The Da Vinci Code.”
            “From what I’ve heard about the direction of the film expect The Joker to be very creepy and very extreme.”
            “Whatever you’ve heard about titles for the film -- pay no attention as the title will most likely not be known until they’ve finished shooting.”
            He also told us that THE PRESTIGE is going to blow everyone away. “Think the vision of BATMAN BEGINS mixed with the suspense of MEMENTO,” our source said...

              Hmm interesting. I guess this'll be another longish movie too. I like the idea of fleshing out the characters and giving them a backstory but two movie that are essentially origin films might turn off/burn out some fans.

                2.5 hours wasn't bad for the first one though. The first half kind of drags a tad, but its not boring. But the second movie is just setting up the third. Sets up Harvey Dent and his transformation into Two-Face and then of course introduces us to the Joker. I'd like to see a flashback background on the Joker rather than showing us all at once. I hope they take the Red Hood route myself, or at least the same circumstances.

                  Same here sounds good to me. Loved the first one and I'm not worried about the second I know it will be great.

                    Speaking of the first movie, those of you who have the Deluxe Edition, what did you think of the sets? I think it would have been awesome to have seen them in person.

                    I wonder if Batman will have a Batmobile in the second movie.

                      I hope there will be lots of Batman action in the first half of the movie while they are doing the origin stuff of Joker.

                        Well didn't the scoop say there's another villian? Maybe Bats is after this other villian and about midway through the movie this villian recruits the newly minted Joker to help him against Batman?

                        Just a thought.

                          That would be perfection.

                          I would love to see the Dent/Joker/Two Face elements of "The Long Halloween" in the next film.

                            A couple months ago Jett go a scoop about the possible villians, let me see if I can find it.

                                COuld you imagine if Jake G got the part of Dent?

                                The jokes would be endless.
