Batman: Intimidation Game

Is there anyone else who's really excited about this upcoming movie? Being a huge Batsy fan myself I just can't wait. I'm thrilled Chirstian Bale's playing Batman, I thought for ages that he'd be the best choice and I cheered when I read he'd been cast. And I'm really happy that Michael Cain's playing Alfred, another great choice from the casting people. I can't wait to see who will play Ra's and the Scarecrow...any of you got anyone in mind who you'd like to see in the roles?

Gah the wait for this movie is going to kill me, it's still a pretty long way off.

I love Batman, too. But I don't like the casting choice of Michael Cane, I do like him, but I don't see him too much of an Alfred Pennyworth. Scarecrow would be an awesome addition to the Rogues Gallery, but I'm not sure about Ra's Al Ghul, many people have never heard of him, so I'm not sure if that would attract people, I might be wrong, I do wish they could have chosen Clayface instead, he's an AWESOME villian, I liked him ever since his debut on Batman: The animated Series. I just hope to God that they go back to the dark Gotham City as potrayed in Batman and Batman Returns, I have Joel Shumacher for his hideous view of Gotham and Batman.

But overall, I just hope it's a great movie.

They won't go down the Batman and Robin route again, not after the way that movie was trashed so badly by the Batman fans. This one will be darker, none of that kiddie fying crap, which is a relief.

I just still wish they'd have another movie with the Joker...

They might if this one does good. The movies are starting again, so nothing from the old movie counts continuity wise.

After those ultra-craptacular Schumacher movies, the new new one can only get better. And I hope Robin will never appear in a Batman movie again!

This time the movie has a lot of potential. Bale is defeinetly the best choice, to play Bruce Wayne/Batman.

Just saw this at Superherohype.com

"This morning, the 'Metro' newspaper (the free paper for commuters in London UK), There was this report...

'Troubling news for Batman fans - Christian Bale, who will hit the big screen as the dark knight in 2005, wants to make the film 'lighter and camper' like the TV show with Adam West.'

Now in the past, Bale has said the complete opposite, so we're not putting too much faith in the Metro newspaper for now."

Hopefully, the report is false.

if they are going to make it goofy, they should at least put Adam West in it.

Good idea! A Live action version of "Return of the Joker". Burt Ward could play old Tim Drake!

If they have a Tim Drake version of Robin than that Chris O'Donnel dumbass, I think it could work. I wish they would do a Nightwing movie, with someone like Collin Ferral or Barry Watson or something. A real dark bloody flick.

Everything about this movie sounds awesome so far, but one final casting choice would make me **** my pants: Jeff Goldblum as the Scarecrow! Also, if any of you get the chance, you should see Batman: Dead End. I haven't seen it yet, but for all of you who havent' heard, it's a short film and it's supposedly the best adaptation of Batman on film ever. I plan on buying it on ebay.
