New Batman movie now titled "Batman Begins"
 

here's the latest update. the cast of this movie is just outta control (in a good way lol). it's a big all-star cast for real. I'm hyped, and it just started filming in iceland...

Batman begins what?

Batman simply "begins!" It's going to show how he got started (probably go more indepth than the previous movies).

script review by IGN...

Oldman as Gordon? I can't wait for this. Sounds pretty much like Batman Year One.

I hope they get Danny Elfman in on the show

I'm not completely sold on the title but the cast looks like a winner. It'll be interesting to see how it all turns out...

Christian Bale is all I needed to hear to tell me this film has potential, throwing in the rest of the cast and the director gives me high hopes.

I am getting so tired of Danny Elfman scoring every movie that comes out of the Hollywood Machine. There are hundreds of other composers just as, or more talented than the Elfman Music System. He's only getting hired now because he has name recognition.

Rumour has it that he only composes a little bit of the music he is attached to now, and most of his work is that of his "interns." But that's just a rumour and I have way to back it up.

As long as its not directed/produced (whatever) by Jerry Bruckheimer, it'll be good. All that black light shit was stupid.

But yes, with Christian Bale in it, it had better be good. If he gives the same calibre performance as he did in Equilibrium, then we're good.

Equilibrium meets American Psycho is Bruce Wayne damnit... minus the random murders and misogyny!

IMDB.com had it labeled as "Batman: Intimidation." "Begins" is is still dorky, but at least it's way better than "Intimidation."

And the music is by David Julyan, the guy who did the scores for Nolan's "Insomnia" and "Memento." Those were both good, as far as I can remember, so it'll be interesting to see how a non-Elfman Batman score turns out.

i better not see any frivolous use of neon like the Joel Schumacher Batman's..

This project looks like it has a lot of potential. Can't wait to see the finsihed product.

I don't think Elfman is scoring any more than other film composers. Interns writing most of the music?? Yeah, Steve Bartek orchestrates all of his music, but where have you heard about the intern claim? Just curious. I would also love Elfman to score the film, but I doubt that's going to happen.

it seems that they are rushing a little bringing in Ras Al Ghul. They really haven't earned the right to bring in him yet.

Are you kidding? That is the best thing anyone has done for the Batman movies. Ras Al Ghul is the coolest.

In other breaking news, Prince is revising his role for the soundtrack. Already having 'Batdance' under his belt, expect 'Batwaltz', 'Battango', and 'Battwostep' to make it on the Batman:Begins soundtrack. Unfortunately, Michael Keaton isn't featured on the soundtrack either.

I couldn't agree more! He was my favorite character in the Batman animated series! I just hope they don't kill him off in this one. Or at least wait until another movie to do it.

I doubt that they'll kill him off in one movie, Ras Al Ghul was a consistent villain in the animated series and probably one of the better ones. Besides, there's no way a "first year" Batman could out-smart Ras Al Ghul.

well im just looking forward to see the movie that is all :D i guess its gonna be a great one since last one was a total disapointment right?

WOW the script was leaked and has spawned an INCREDIBLY positive review. Check it out in full here: http://www.aintitcool.com/display.cgi?id=17140

Batman: Begin sounds stupid and dorky at the same time. Yes, I do know that alot of times "stupid" and "dorky" comes in hand and hand. I'm the finest example of that.

Could they have called it Batman: Beginning?

God no, brings Adam West to mind, perhaps "The Beginning"... I'm not too fond of the chosen title either, "Rebirth" might've been nice, signalling Wayne rebirth as the Bat and the Rebirth of a fucked franchise.

Would it be completely beyond them to just call it Batman? Sure, stupid people might be confused by it, but who gives a shit about them?

^lol well they are trying to get this movie as far away from the previous franchise as possible. They go into more detail about that on the link I posted earlier.

here's something else interesting...

Guy Pearce would be awesome, even in a small cameo. Man, Chris Nolan is doing a stand up job with the cast in this movie; from the great castings to the latest script review things are looking up for this flick.

Batman begins to finally fuck Robin in the ass...

That post belongs in Tilted Tiltedness forum.

It would just be the business if they disregarded everything in the first four films and reinvented the whole Batman mythos, as it should have been done in first place. It was the guy saying Two-Face may or may not make an appearance in a sequel. I always think the films made a mistake in killing off villains after their first adventure. It would be awesome to see the whole Jack Napier story redone.

I hope they dont' put in a lot of unbelievable acrobatic shit i.e. Daredevil.

It's one thing to slap this stuff into Spiderman and Blade because they're genetic freaks. Batman is just a man. It's part of his charm.

*gulp*

Seriously, I will be pissed if they fuck this up.

Daredevil does lots of acrobatic shit in the comics doesn't he? I've only read a few, but I'm sure I saw some flipping out.

This is true, but did you see the movie? He's bending and flipping all over the place and jumping 87 times higher and further than any regular human being.

They're supposed to be human. Sure acrobatics and the like are nice, but leave the matrix-style shit out of it.

yeah Daredevil was HIGHLY disappointing. And now Ben Affleck doesn't even want to come back to do the role; lol. Hmm... I wonder why? Maybe because it was one of the WORST comic book adaptations?

With Ben Assfuck in it it was hardly likely to be one of the best. I don't have many strong emotions over celebrities, but I *hate* that dick. I'd smash his face in if I could.

I can't wait for this movie...

Its been such a long time since the last good Batman movie.

This movie and most of the cast make it sound like it's going to be a great big blockbuster.

But...
If this is going to be about Bruce/Batman's early years, shouldn't they get someone younger than Michael Caine to play Alfred Pennyworth?
Alfred is an older man in the comics and earlier movies, when Bruce is at his prime or peak. Right?
Michael Caine, 'though a badass actor, is already an older man now, so where does that leave Alfred for future growth?
He would be too old to help.
Any thoughts on this?

On the other hand, maybe I'm being too nitpicky. :)

^yeah i think you are being too nitpicky lol.

I mean alfred in the first batman movies was like 140 years old! Compared to him, Michael Caine is like 20.

man... Gary Oldman... and Christian Bale

way cool... 2 of my favorite actors...

sounds like their really trying to make this one better then the last couple...
