Originally Posted By CuriousConstance I'm a fan of the first two movies. LOVE the Joker performance from last movie of course. This movie will most undoubtedly be awesome.

Originally Posted By utahjosh <And don't google David Letterman, he may have given away the ending jokingly.> I rarely watch Letterman - but I happened to see that segment. I used to like Letterman but he's just not entertaining anymore. And I think he spoiled it. We'll see next Thursday at 6:15pm

If Batsy was that different he would be a guy carrying a baseball bat. If you want to see a "canon" Batman flick, I wold suggest either Batman: Year One or Batman: Under the Red Hood.
Originally Posted By fkurucz >>But am I the only who chuckles the first couple times Batman uses his big, tough, rough, burly voice in the movies that's nothing like the actor's regular voice?<< Batman having a different voice than his alter ego Bruce Wayne is a concept pioneered by voice actor Kevin Conroy in the 1990's. Conroy's Batman, however, didn't talk as if he had strep throat like Christian Bale's Batsy does.

Originally Posted By ecdc I heard about the Letterman clip, but it sounds like it's not clear if that's just Dave screwing around or a real spoiler.
Originally Posted By ecdc Saw this today. Can't recommend it enough. Go see it, enjoy yourself, and don't let the horror that happened today ruin the movie for you. Film is the great American art that can speak across class and race and other social boundaries.
Originally Posted By Autopia Deb It's almost like a Nolan Batman film can't open without some sort of news item attached. Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise's weird Oprah melt down, Heath Ledger's death and now this. The news items are getting worse and worse, I guess if I were the superstitious type I'd say it's a very good thing it's the last one. That said I am very much looking forward to seeing it when I see my kid next month (he's away visiting family and I don't want to see it without him).
