The Dark Knight

I haven't seen Batman & Robin. So I don't know much about it. Just that Freeze was butchered and it was supposedly gay.

It was easily the worst of the four.

I thought all the old movies sucked. Why was #4 the worst?

I actually liked the first two, but that's just me.

Personally, I at least liked a little of the third - I thought Carrey made a good Riddler, for example. But the fourth was a complete washout, there wasn't anything of it that I liked.

Jim was a good Riddler. I actually could sit through 2 and 3, which in my book means they're okay. I hated the first one simply because Jack didn't seem like Joker and Michael Keaton looked nothing like Bruce Wayne.
Compared to "Batman Begins", all the old movies were pretty bad.

Keaton was miserable. Jack was good, but yes... he didn't scream joker. He wasn't capricious enough.

Yes, he wasn't capricious enough....
*looks up the word "capricious"*

I'm glad someone finally agrees with me.

But I found him entertaining none-the-less. Still the best live-action Joker on DVD... not that that's saying much...

Hopefully Heath Ledger will change that.

Yeah. I loved the way they did Scarecrow in Begins.

They had a pretty good selection of characters in Batman Begins. Although I'd argue that Tim Burton's Batman was pretty good, too. The cast there had a pretty good take on all the characters, and while the Joker slipped off into camp a few times, it was workable within the movie. Still, what I like about this new take is that it looks like there will be no camp whatsoever, simply murderous pathos. Humor can be very, very dark sometimes.

Point with the joker is that he wasn't "dark", but his violent tendencies is what made you think twice. This joker isn't even remotely close. They might as well just call it Batman Meets Jack the Ripper.

There is no point in arguing with you Kev, as you won't listen to reason.

Also, I just learned that Two-Face is going to be in The Dark Knight too!
Awesome

Yes, I think I'd seen him in the trailer, at least as the DA.
