  1. I bought a statue/figure from my local comic shop, and it's Ras Al Ghul from trinity, it looks not bad, the only thing is it came with an accesoryfor his hand which is like a bird glove. What im wondering is does anyone know how the hell to take the hand off without breaking it?? thanks p.s i saw they have the dark knight figures in stores now, except for the price (£50) they look nice.
  2. Personally, the more villains kept alive, the better in my opinion. It means that Batman has a fuller rogues gallery to deal with in future. I'm not saying the franchise should rehash Batman vs Scarecrow in every film, but I really don't mind Bat-villain cameos as long as they serve a purpose to the story. I'd much rather villains don't die so that options are kept open for the best possible stories. That's why I dock films points for killing off the villains (see the CR review of the otherwise excellent Iron Man). Personally, I'm thinking Harvey gets turned within the last quarter of the film, kills a few and leads to a confrontation between the two at the end in which Two Face gets away, setting up a proper film of confrontation in the sequel, with a few twists to keep the Batman universe expanding. True i didn see it that way, it would be nice if they made a third film, he did something not major to the plot, but he had a place in it. Something that does not sit well when you think about the first set of batman films most of the villains were either killed(By their own causes) or committed and called insane or just gave up being villains. So i guess your right and I'm wrong. [ p.s i read the first part of knightfall a few months ago, and although it was ok, it was not great. Making a knightfall movie would be almost like rocky III.(i dont mean with the azarel stuff in it) also this may be old news but Sarah Jayne Dunn(Anyone from teh uk, mandy from hollyoaks) this would be very dumb on several levels. also (someone probably posted this already) the movie will be dedicated to the memory of Heath Ledger.
  3. Whoa there! I know a shit-ton of English Majors at uni who have little to no understanding of character or story. true sometimes people who go to uni, and become graduates and yet can be the biggest dumb asses ever! i think i may have went too wide with what i was saying, but if you read any interviews with Nolan about Batman or his other films like insomnia or memento(both great movies) and he talks about creating characters and establishing them and getting them across to the audience. Which is the basis for Harvey dent that batman forever missed. You were right dread i was a bit broad saying that all English majors are able to create sympathetic realistic characters.
  4. yeah Nolan says that dent is the main story and his downfall into madness while be what drives the story,,with the joker just f-ing about for no apparent reason in the background. This is a fantastic idea, as we don't need to know why the joker is a nut job like in batman, we just need to know what he's doing when he's on screen and that line from the trailer "its all part of the plan" makes it seem like his story will not be obvious till the end when you probably find out he's been in control of everything from his arrest to dents downfall to what coffee Gordon drinks. But that's just what i think. A good solid third act with Two face and then him escaping like scarecrow did in the first, BTW i hope scarecrow is killed or committed permanently to arkham in this, as you do not need him in another film, no matter how good cillian is. Also Nolan is an English major at university (I'm pretty sure of this) so if anyone can make character development work and seem like its flowing and not being forced, the two face is in good hands.
  5. Reaper in my opinion was good, but nothing changed. The show was the exact same, week in and week out. this got tedious after a while and stopped being fun, oh and the cliffhanger was OK, but it wasn't an oh my god i cant wait for the next series cliffhanger, it was a well that was fun, guess i best fine something else to fill my wednesday nights now.
  6. I don't think that any soundtrack in recent history has gone in order. While I admit I don't listen to too many soundtracks, the ones I have listened to have been in order. A lot of the ones I'm seeing online are in order also like Iron Man, Enchanted, and both Narnia's seem to be in order. OK, this looks interesting, two face will be a villain really quickly into the movie, that will either make things more interesting, or spider man 3 it. I swear if two face shows up and dies in fifteen minutes like another villain in another movie then i will be pretty annoyed, as villains who are as sympathetic as two face can be don't come along too often. p.s do you know if the soundtrack is music or quotes or both?
  7. Sounds good, I'll ask at the comic shop tomorrow about that.
  8. hope things get better for you real soon man.
  9. right OK, that was nice. it also proves two things! One. this movie will be freaking awesome!! two. the voice i heard from a you tube page of someone saying "that's why i have my name" was false! Now all i need is David Hyde Pierce saying "Hey diddle diddle, time for a riddle" and i can die a happy man! No i will not let the riddler go! p.s the penguin is not one of my favourite villains either, yet Danny De Vito was great as him, and Phillip Seymour Hoffman can play taht part and make me intersted, word is that the penguin may be a british arms dealer.
  10. i didn't even know their was a TV series. But from that info it sounds like it was like reaper. Was the show any good?
  11. Did this become a caption contest thread? I can honestly say when they said Lego and Batman together in the same sentence as-the video game, i had a tear in my eye, and a very long screaming sound from my wallet. This game will be awesome, hopefully it wont be as puzzle orientated as Lego Indiana Jones which is good, but the puzzles just grate on my nerves. also for the caption contest-Ahem! For the last time i am not from pokemon!
  12. Also I just found a torrent that claimed to have the Dark Knight and it took all my strength not to download it.......that i didn't have a bloody clue how to download it properly! A.) It's probably fake. B.) It's likely got a trojan in it. C.) You need a program like AnotherBitTorrentClient (ABC) to download torrents and a program like PowerArchiver to open them anyway. A) yeah probably, it was weird their was like sixty downloads and it had only been up for like an hour. B) wouldn't suprise me. C) I have utorrent...........ah screw it, I'm just going to wait for the movie to come out so's that the only thing I'll have to worry about is sitting next to someone talking through the movie! i hate those people, though it's always nice to know how Barrys work job at the post office is going....
  13. I just need to scream! i am trying to find a job and two weeks ago i went to four interviews and two said they'd get back to me the next day as that was their policy, one called me like five days later and sayed i was under qualified to work at a call centre! and the other still never got back to me! dammit all i am trying to find is a f**king job over the summer so i don't become well and truly broke!! and on top of this my mum keeps asking me when I'm getting a job, claiming that i am not looking and i don't care! Jesus Christ!
  14. Well remember in begins they had the Scarecrow as a sort of side villain as he was working for Ras Al Ghul (On a side note, in Batman Beyond Talia says that Ra's is Said Raich not Ras) and he worked out well, so they could have another villain working with or for Two Face. Also I just found a torrent that claimed to have the Dark Knight and it took all my strength not to download it.......that i didn't have a bloody clue how to download it properly!
  15. Thanks, I have heard there was a sequel, but kept forgetting the name. In your opinion how is Dark Victory? This was months ago and you probably have alread red Dark Victory but if you haven't in my opinion it was just the exact same as the long halloween, just nowhere near as good. a lot of people said that when i got it, and to sound like im following the crowd they were right, its pretty much the same story, just nowhere near as good.
  16. What issue was this story? And what if Batman got there and the Wayne's were meant to die, so their could have been a second mugger maybe Chill had a partner( hey spider-man 3 did this!) and if Chill got killed by Batman and the second person caught up with the Wayne's moments later and shot them anyway, causing Bruce to become Batman. But batman would have known about this and would have stopped the second guy as well. Dammit!
  17. I was just wondering, has their ever been a story were Bruce Wayne's dad stopped the man from shooting him and his wife? I was watching for the man who has everything and wondered how that story would play out with Gotham and Dick Grayson and the Justice League and would the rogues gallery still exist, as some people claim(Like in BTAS the trial were the DA says it's Batmans fault) they wouldn't. just wondering, and if it exists could someone tell me were you could find it? P.S i read the nail and thought it was good, and dark like what the Joker does but I personally did not like the twists at the end.
  18. My S:TAS DVDS are breaking! Season 3 disc 2 side B i have not been able to see the last three episodes as the disc freezes! dammit! and these were new discs that i keep in the box!
  19. i bought an external hard drive for my PC so it would run faster, well i put like ten movies on the thing and a back up of all my work. it took about an hour, and when i looked it said it had not actually copied the stuff, like it said it did, but rather copied the fucking folders! so now I've lost all these good movies and that hard drive cost me £70! also i bought a graphics card, and i cant even tell if its made a difference to anything but stopping me from seeing you tube full screen! dammit!
  20. crap, your right, i'll leave the quote in and take out the part that i mentioned. I need an extra one hundred words or so so i can fix the Halo and GTA bits and and add a section on handhelds. thanks for your help.
  21. Just saw the trailer, wow, did not think anything could make me think the first one was best than average, but there you go. And the new punisher looks a lot worse than the original(thomas jane was that his name, not dolph lundgren!)
  22. and that's why David Hyde Pierce is the best person to play him. I mean I'm a Frasier fan but even if i only ever saw one episode of that show, i could see he could get the extreme OCO of the riddler across with ease. plus he's that talented.
  23. David Hyde Pierce would be great in the role, he can't take on batman as a physical threat, but as a mental one, i hope they go down the psychological path with the Riddler. And their was talk of a newspaper article from the Gotham times being written by Edward nashton(i don't know much about the history, I've only got back into the comics in the past year) Yoda what about this-that was my dream scenario for the Riddle this is a genuine one What if the Riddler is a man pushed to the edge(Like in btas and The batman) who kills someone but cant actually tell anyone so they go insane, or they think they killed someone like two face in Btas who thought he'd hurt a boy when he was younger and let the anger dwell inside of himself. The Riddler then slowly comes out and he goes over the edge and feels he has to be caught so he sets up crimes where the clues of who he is and where he is are easy for him at see but are complicated for everyone else. what do you think? i got the Nashton thing from wikipedia, it is not my personal view.
