If there's another topic for this,  I didn't see it.

If you haven't spent your money on this yet, get in your car,  and go see it. Now. Immediately. It's so good, I can't even believe it. Someone give me a time machine so I can go watch the sequel.
Wh00t!? Vinyl? Is it like an I-pod 2 or something?

It's second on my "to-see" list, behind Sin City. Looks really good...

I loved the atmosphere and casting of the film, it was quite wonderful. I'd say their actor and scripting for Alfred was the best of any batman movie, they actually made him a pretty damn cool character. In fact, I'm not sure there was much I didn't like about the movie. Maybe a bit of the initial plot was weak...

It was excellent! :yes: They did the best they could to make Batman/Bruce Wayne a three-dimensional character. Yeah, there are inconsistencies with the first movie, but I don't care. Did Batman ever have such a detailed origin story?

Movie of the year. (f u c k Star Wars)

Nice to know some franchises gone horribly wrong, can and have been redeemed.

Very well worth the money to buy a cinema ticket, much unlike many movies these days.

You already have 4 sequels available :p (and I do think the two first ones by Tim Burton were awesome).

And we get Joker on the next one.

I think it kinda got worse in the end, but was still enjoyable. Apparently night blindness is necessary for GCPD as well .
lol wtf

Saw it yesterday, thought it was crap. There was nothing wrong with the characters and Bale did pretty well I thought, but the plot was so extraordinarily weak and predictable that I couldn't take it seriously. Once the whole magic microwave machine that vaporizes water but doesn't boil humans alive came on I just stopped paying attention to the plot and took in the action sequences, which were unfortunately the high points of the film.

You got Joker in the '89 one. Think "prequel".

Although a sequel to Begins would rock.

Also, people who don't like the movie think Batman is real. They don't get it's a fantasy setting. The the people who start analyzing aspects of the movie such as "There's no way a machine could exist that evaporates water but doesn't boil everything else either" are in my opinion disqualified from passing any judgment further down the line.

The fact people can have that sort of a mindset, yet go with the idea of watching a Batman (a fictional character for those of you who didn't know) movie consciously, is just simply amazing.

I think that's a little unfair. The movie went to great lengths to show how Batman got to where he was Batman in a plausible manner. The microwave emitter sort of irked me, too, because it would've been real easy to get around the obvious problem of it roasting people. Either A) call it something else, or B) make it a mono-directional microwave emitter. As it was it greatly confused me, as I was under the impression that it'd caused the deaths of the people aboard ship and would have adverse effects on everyone near it.

Basically, if you're going to include an existing piece of technology that's in common use (in practically every food preparation area in America), it should function generally like it does in RL.

As far as predictability goes, I didn't notice it too much, I was too busy noticing the way things were all weaved together in the movie. At some points that was good, though, as in the theater.

I thought it was pretty enjoyable, despite that, and the music was pretty good.

Of course, at the rate Bruce Wayne reveals his "secret" identity, practically every female in Gotham City is going to know who he is. :p

We had Nicholson dressed as Joker. We didn't have the "real" comic book Joker. Seeing how they managed to keep most of the characters pretty much in line with the comics (except Batman's astonishing "I don't have to save you"), the Joker and Harvey Dent might actually resemble what they are supposed to - I don't know if they're going to throw some additional villains into the upcoming movies.
 Also, this movie has nothing to do with previous Batman movies, except that it has Batman and Alfred as well. And Gotham city. And bats.
lol wtf

Heh, thats the second time I've heard of a cinema catching on fire while showing this film. It happened to a friend of mine as well. Suspicious? :doubt:

(Spoilers ahead...)

As for my take on the film... I was highly impressed. I must admit it was a nice twist that the white caucasian guy was infact the head Ninja. Also, there were some great setups for further down the line (what with Joker and so forth). The sets and action sequences were all very nicely put together, and while the whole microwave boiling water but not people thing was a little far fetched - as has already been pointed out it's very much a fictional thing. Which rather conveniently gets them out of that problem... All in all, I rather liked it!

 
****ing Batman.

I don't intend on seeing it in theaters. Might, just might, rent it, though. After all, it has Morgan Freeman.
