it's easy to beat a tim burton batman: provide an actual bruce wayne character and more interesting action scenes, that's it.

True, but the Burton Batman's (in my case) have the benefit of nostalgia, of being one of my favorite childhood films. Elfman's theme will be hard as hell to top, though I'm betting, like the film, the music goes into a more sombre, downplayed and entirely different territory. Neither does Nolan have a quarter of Burton's eye for visuals, though in the long run I'll probably take a preferance to Nolan's version, on the grounds that all of the things I've stated as qualities in the Burtons I'll substitute anyday for exactly the things you mention; better characters and fight scenes that are actually put some work into.

what sort of bashing did it get at ComiCon?

Well, the teaser was expected to play there, and when it didn't the fans felt ripped off. Also, Bale and Nolan taped a 45-second video segment where they apologized for not being there, during which Bale looked bored/pissed off. Cillian Murphy, who was there also had the bored/pissed off vibe (from the reports I've heard) down pat, and no information that really wasn't already known was presented.

............well,, you cant really blame  bale for being like that.........nolan is one boring guy........his commentaries and interviews are so slow-paced and tiresome.........even nolan seems bored by his onself......
i would rather watch a crack head mother breast feed my best friend than listen to nolan talk............

Not only does that not sound boring, It actaully sounds pretty damned interesting in a Harmony Korrine kinda way.

Scorsese should make a movie of The Dark Knight Returns.

Scorsese should make a movie of The Dark Knight Returns.

I'd be willing to see that, but doubt that will ever happen.

Can we get Tim Burton to make Goodfellas 2 right after?

;)

[ShanghaiOrange]

If Tim Burton did Goodfellas Henry Hill would be an eccentric, pasty-white guy and the Mob would be a strange, dark fantasy.

[matt35mm]

Yeah but if Scorsese did Batman, Gotham City would be a city of mobsters (but not stylized comic book types, just the tough-talking ball-busting types) and Batman would be... Henry Hill.

and if i did sumthin then yeah.

Having the strong willpower that I do, I read the script for this the other day. I am still excited about it, but the script isn't quite so fantastic as we've been led to believe on this. It's good, but not great.

[Raikus]

Does an Alien and Predator show up at the end? Because I think that's what's been missing.
