Suit looks a bit bulky. But like the batmobile, I'm willing to wait until I see it in action. I like Christian Bale a lot, and have faith in him doing the character justice.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

humina humina humina

Looking good so far. :) I can't tell if it's bulky or not, too much cape cloaking him.

[Master Yoghurt]

Now this is more back to the original Batman movie look (which I like). The 2 previous movies were too cartoonie for me.

[Jedi Master Carr]

This looks cool, I liked the third one though that had more to do with the cast, you can't go wrong too much with Jim Carrey and Tommy Lee Jones in there, problem with it is the villians stole the whole movie in that one. I think this one will be the best Batman movie of them all however.

[ReaperFett]

Hate the Batmobile, HATE it. But otherwise, all looks good :)

[ReaperFett]

I flicked through it :)

I think that spoilery info would soften the blow if true, as they'd probably have a different one in the future.



I'm hoping this feels more like the comics Batman than anything else. I like/love the first three Batmans, but they never felt like the comics (The Burton ones felt like Tim Burton's Batman, not Batman).

[JMK]

Did they swap the images? I don't see the one of the Batmobile...:huh

[Jedi Master Carr]

If you go to the main website there is one there.

[Dasquian Belargic]

What happened to the Batmobile? It looks... :x

[Gurney Devries]

Had a look - different, but no real problems there. After all, if you look into the history of the Batmobiles (as linked above), there really is no fixed look. IMO, it looks interesting

[(Alex) Jacen]

Looked at that comparison thing...they should have the Teen Titans Batmobile...Batman has a Merc!!

[jjwr]

Very nice so far, I don't see how you could call that bulky, Bale isn't exactly huge and cloaked in night and wrapped in his cape its awefully tough to get many details out of him.

Batman 1 was great, that was a very good retelling of Batman, its hard to say its not the "Comic" Batman as he's been taken so many different ways by so many different creators. You could argue that Batman 3 & 4 were the Comic Batman as he had some incredibly silly runs in the series that match up with those movies.

When most serious fans say its not like the comic its in reference to Dark Knight Returns or other Frank Miller Works(Year 1, 2, etc).

Which begs the question....why not have Miller work on the script?

[JMK]

Oh yeah, there's the Batmobile, pretty different that the usual fare. I'm not thrilled with the look of it, but I'll wait until I see what it can do before passing final judgement.

[jjwr]

Ah I see what your saying, it was showing up really dark on my monitor and it all lookedl ike cape.

His arm pads and chest do look a bit on the bulky side.....

[Dasquian Belargic]

His upper-arms look huge!

[imported_J'ktal Anajii]

No, he should not use ANYTHING that is inspired by the insipid piece of crap that is Teen Titans.

I am looking forward to this Batman, as it really seems like a good mive so far. I mean, they aren't tring to be silly or hokey, but serious about what they're doing. If changing the Batmobile is what it takes, I say go for it.

And, I KNEW someone was using Cyclops, but I forgot it was jjwr.

I share the same sentiments however don't you go dissing Teen Titans - I like it. :mneh

[jjwr]

Cyclops Rules! He's always been my favorite X-Man :)

Batman can look as cool as all heck but the Villians have to be right, thats one thing the series has had(with the exceptin of the last one) was great villians. Batman has a ton of them.

[JMK]

http://www.ugo.com/channels/filmTv/exclusive/player.asp?articleID=11829

Video of the Batmobile. Personally I think it looks like something out of junkyard wars, but I'm still going to wait to see what it can do.

And if my eyes weren't deceiving me Racing slicks in the front and giant knobby tires in the back???:huh

[ReaperFett]

It's Frank Miller-esque, but I'm not a fan yet.


New BATMAN pictures:

[Jinn Fizz]

Oy, Reaper, maybe it's just me, but that first picture you posted the link to...isn't Batman's "wingspan" just a little too over-the-top? Wow.

All in all, though, I can't help but be worried about this movie...WB has had such a history of screwing up DC comics characters that I fear the same thing will happen here. Especially with what a piece of poodoo Catwoman sure looks to be. It would be nice if Batman Begins ends up changing the track record, but I'm not gonna hold my breath, at least for now.

[Dan the Man]

1. This doesn't have Halle Berry in it.

2. It seems to have everything else that's cool in it.

3. It doesn't seem to be that happy & sugary crap that made Batman & Robin. It actually seems to be a throwback to the Burton sagas.

4. IT DOESN'T HAVE HALLE BERRY IN IT.

[Jedi Master Carr]

Well its by a better director and has a better cast so I think it will work out, I think it looks way better than any of the batman films we have had so far.

[Dan the Man]

The original Batman is miles above the competition. Batman Returns in itself is miles ahead of the last two.

[Peter McCoy]

They say he can't be killed! They say he drinks blood! They say...

[jjwr]

Looking good so far, as for the huge wingspan, the comics always made the cape look huge when he was swinging around, added a nice aura to him, though it would mysteriously shrink again once he was on foot :)

[ReaperFett]

More:

http://saint.symptomx.org/batnews4.jpg - Liam Neeson.

http://saint.symptomx.org/batnews3.jpg - This one just screamed out Boondock Saints. "Charlie Bronson always had rope" :D

[Droo]

Bale really will pull this off I think, he looks perfect for the role. I don't like the sword on his back for some reason, seems out of place in a Batman film.

[Charley]

Batman is the master of expensive toys. If one of those toys happens to be a sword, so be it :cool

Personally, I always wished he used more guns anyway.

Before he was Batsy he was Bruce getting martial arts lessons.

[Jedieb]

Finally, WB is taking Batman seriously again. The last 2 Batman films were celebrations of the Adam West TV series. When Cooney whipped out the BatCredit Card I almost cried. Schmuck-aker should have been shot on site. Now, if only I could get a Superman movie where Doomsday tears the Justice League a new one and then "kills" Superman in a final showdown. There's a cliffhanger I'd love to see. But no, we'll probably get something with Superman and Krypto battling Brainiac and some evil cyborg cats.

[Jedi Master Carr]

Actually I would love to see hm battle Brainaic if they do him right. I would love to see Superman vs Darkside but I am not sure if it is possible on film.

Already, I love the look of this film. Could it be that this Batman is more character orienated than campinated? Yay!

[Sarr Koon]

Ugh, I'm not liking the look of the batmobile either. That thing is just plain ugly...

[Lilaena De'Ville]

I am still v. excited about this movie. :D Is there going to be a Robin? I'm assuming not, but hadn't heard.

[Shawn]

http://media.filmforce.ign.com/media/498/498571/img_2240208.html

Here's a few more pics of the Batmobile. These really give you a sense of scale; It's a whole lot smaller than the earlier pictures implied.

[JMK]

You're right, it isn't quite as large as I thought it was in previous pictures, but I'm still not a big fan of it yet...

[The Man in Black]

I like the Batmobile. Its less bling, more practical.

[Jedi Master Carr]

I figure its his first one so it is going to be more pratical and smaller. So far this movie is looking awesome, IMO.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

You have to be able to imagine that it takes a bit of time to refine the design for the Batmobile.

That looks like an armored car, so it's great.

[Jedi Master Carr]

Yeah that is what I am thinking he is just starting as Batman so this works for me.

[Shawn]

And right on the heels of that: The teaser trailer is online. http://batmanbegins.warnerbros.com/cmp/teaser.html?id=teaser&settings=true

[Jedi Master Carr]

Cool nice teaser doesn't show you much but you get a good idea where it is going.

[ReaperFett]

Doesn't show enough to get me any more hyped (I'm looking forward to it) really, as all it gave was Brooding Bale, something I've already seen and know he can do.


Full costume can be seen at http://www.chud.com/news/july04/jul27bat.php3 in a nice and clear picture.

[Jedi Master Carr]

I like the batman suit its very cool. I didn't expect much from the teaser so it worked for me, I loved his line at the end though :)

[Lilaena De'Ville]

What, no nipples!?

:p

[Dasquian Belargic]

The teaser is... unusual. Not what I expected.

[Mu Satach]

Jim Gordon
*slurp*
(gawd... never thought I'd say that)

Love the teaser.
:D

I actually like the batmobile... I've never been too crazy about the previous one's (course I absolutely hate the corvette stingray body design which it was patterned after so that might have something to do with it.) It's a nice change for me. :)

[AmazonBabe]

*:cry on Jen's shoulder*

They made the Batmobile look ugly! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

*sniff*

I'll definitely go see it when it comes out, but I'm not feeling all excited about it like I did the others. Meh. Must be me.

[Jedi Master Carr]

I think it will be the best batman movie so far. I think that is because they are actually going to concentrate on Batman/bruce Wayne. Biggest problems with the other films is the villains were the real stars. If it weren't for Nicholson, Pfeffer, and Carrey the first three films wouldn't have worked at all, IMO. This movie has a better cast, and looks like it will do a better job with Batman himself while still doing a good job with the villains, I can't wait to see the Scarecrow, he is one of my faves.

Agree with ya there, AB. :(


Edit:

*just watched the spoiler* :| coooooool!

That line at the end just rocks. Its so...Batman.

And my brain has only started working. I like Bale. He was in Equilibrium, wasn't he? Great choice for the part.

If I'm extrapolating on the concept properly, it should be pretty cool. And I like the suit...it looks like some of the toys I have around somewhere. :)

So says the person with the avatar from the crappiest Batman movie of all.

[Jedi Master Carr]

LOL no comment, actually her avatar (poison Ivy) was the best thing about the movie. They got her right just messed the rest up.

[AmazonBabe]

The only reason I love the other Batman films is because of the villains. I just love the bad guys. (Oh yeah, and the Batmobile. I just LOVE that car!!) :D ^_^;

[Alex]

You have to admit that the original Batmobile was the coolest. The whole armour thing was just cool. And it looked cool...not like a Robot Wars reject. The original Batmobile had style...which this one lacks. But then, the original is the only one that I had a toy of, so that could be why...

I like the style of the new batmobile, actually.

[JMK]

I think I'll like the Batmobile if it does what it looks like it's meant for - running over things, ramming into things and basically just making a complete mess of the scenery.

[Alex]

I guess its an OK car...it just doesn't look like a Batmobile to me. The suit looks like it leads up to the original Batman one...but the car doesn't. I'd just like it to look a little more like the others...so it fits in. I guess, as JMK says, I'll like it when it starts smashing things to pieces. But I know its not the Batmobile I want in my garage.

[Shawn]

Low Quality trailer (http://sa.nextwish.org/Video/batmanbegins.avi)

[Jedi Master Carr]

Great footage too bad there isn't any sound with it. Hopefully WB will post one real soon.

[Shawn]

There is sound. DefilerPak (http://hellninjacommando.com/defilerpak/)

[Jedi Master Carr]

there is also this
mms://ondemand.mymovies.net/filmmedia/film/fid800/trailers/trid1592/wm/bb.asf

the trailer looks great :) I love the end when the crook screams where are you and Batman whispers here I still want to see footage of Alfred and Gordon although I bet that will happen in the third and final trailer.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

blarg I get sound but no picture!! *hits winamp a few times*

[Jedi Master Carr]

hmm that sucks not sure what is wrong with it.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

blaaaarg now I'm trying VLC media player and it's not doing ANYthing.

edit: media player played it. ^_^; I love it!!! :D

[Shawn]

WB has released a high quality version of the same teaser. You can get it here: http://pdl.warnerbros.com/wbmovies/batmanbegins/trailer/trailer_hi/trailer_a.mov

[darth_mcbain]

Looks pretty good - hopefully there will be a good backstory as to some more of the origins of Batman, which from the scenes with Neeson, looks like there will be. Until the movies, I was only a mild Batman fan - watched the show, read just a couple of the comics - I actually don't know much of anything about Scarecrow, so I'm interested in this as I don't know much about the villian...

[Shawn]

Scarecrow will play a fairly minor part in the movie. And yes, there's lots of backstory.

[Jedi Master Carr]

I am hoping they are setting up the Scarecrow for the Sequel. I am curious what kind of part Morgan Freeman is playing.

[Jedi Master Carr]

New trailer out it was on the Super Bowl for those who missed it

http://www.superherohype.com/news/batmannews.php?id=2552

I loved it great 30 second spot. Great shots of Batman and a glimse of the Scarecrow. Even see the Batmobile and Alfred finally. I love the dialogue between Freeman and Bale at the end :)

[Gav Mortis]

I loved it. I am really reeaally looking forward to this film. It has all the ingredients to be great. :D

[darth_mcbain]

Looks good. Yeah, that last line with Freeman and Bale was cool!!! :)

[Jedi Master Carr]

I also thought it was the best of the movie trailers for the football game. It also came on at like the perfect moment with the Patriots driving at the end of the first half.

[Jedi Master Carr]

A trailer debuted in front of TRL here is one link to it

http://s41.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=3366SWFRKAM1R0X8Z2SBTNKFKZ

No idea how long it will remain up although I am sure new links will pop up.

Click here and select the third video along. Select a high quality version. Just check it out and see what I mean. I got goosebumps. :cool

[Jedieb]

Morgan Freeman and Michael Caine, damn that's great casting. Everything I've seen tells me they've abandoned the crap that is 'camp.' Burn in hell Schumacker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :shootin

[Navaria Tarkin]

so.. shiny.... June can't get here soon enough. I'm actually on vacation the week it opens :cool so happy!

[darth_mcbain]

Looks really good. I loved Liam Neeson's line - 'Your anger gives you great power'. Sound familiar???

[Jedi Master Carr]

I like that trailer very much, got a cool look of the Scarecrow in it.

Qui-Gon should know better!!!!!!!!

[Loki Ahmrah]

Liam Neeson's lines make that trailer for me. My favourite of which is:

"If you make yourself more than just a man... and if they can't stop you... then you become something else entirely. A legend, Mr. Wayne... a legend." :D
