well you've probably never read frank miller's the dark knight returns. the fake batmen with guns was a take off on a gang in that book called the sons of batman. basically, the sons of batman were guys running around trying to help batman fight crime.
also, if you had read the dark knight returns or any batman comic book, you would know that the joker is supposed to be psychotic and creepy. he is basically the coolest villain ever, and heath ledger performed the hell out of the roll.
i dont know about you but i am glad this movie didn't have the same plot as the last one. that would have been a little redundant.
also, christian bale was huge in this movie. definitely way bigger than you.
i will agree with you, however that the voice he uses as batman gets a little annoying. but the reason you didn't like this movie is probably because you do not like good movies.
fortunately, I have the ability to mark this post as stupid. but I won't, I'll just mark it as stupid in my head.
why should i read a book (or graphic novel) to enjoy a movie? Most people won't bother. However, I am the exception to the rule. Give me the book (or graphic novel) and I'll read it.
I didn't require the same plot as the last movie - merely an engaging plot that was interesting.
Christian Bale looked skinny and emaciated. Sort of like you with no shirt on playing drums.
Also - it's not "roll" it's "role".
THIS post should be marked very, very funny.
well you're an idiot anyway for not liking the movie...also you're ugly.
also you think you telling me im skinny is going to offend me? go hit the gym son...and go get a rhinoplasty, while you're at it.
You're both a couple of runts.
so far, I've read
Batman: Year One
and I'm working through
The Dark Knight Returns
The library just alerted me to the fact that "The Killing Joke" has arrived.
year one was awesome!
you're a good man. killing joke is nuts.
So I finished The Dark Knight Returns this morning. I gotta say, it was excellent. The female Robin was intriguing, I loved seeing Batman fight Superman, and I loved the trick at the end. Having read it, now that whole "sons of batman" thing makes a little more sense, but I still feel the movie confused the whole thing.
There were some parts I didn't get. For instance, I always thought that Commissioner Gordon's daughter is named Barbara and that she becomes Batgirl. But in Year One, Commissioner Gordon's wife is named Barbara- and in Dark Knight Returns, she's Sarah? I was really confused by this. (Side note, I just Wikipedia'd this and apparently it depends on which line of continuity the particular story happens to be in. Which is weak, if you ask me.) (Ok I read more of the Wikipedia article. Apparently she is his niece, who he adopts. Seriously, I do not have this kind of time, people!)
oh, some other things I didn't like. I still argue that Batman is supposed to be large, and muscular (and completely unlike Christian Bale). The comics show him as absolutely huge, with large shoulders and massive arms. He towers over a lot of people, both as Bruce Wayne and Batman.
Also, in the comics, Batman spends a lot of time dodging bullets. For someone who has a bulletproof suit, he spends a lot of time acting like he could die if he gets hit. That also makes little to no sense. The guy has millions of dollars and doesn't bother to wear a bulletproof suit? What sense does that make?
