Does anyone aside from me feel almost like Begins didn't happen? I mean, like the film never was released, like we're still waiting for a new Batman film.

To put it differently... I'm watching the film right now, I love it, masterpiece. But the marketing for BB was so.... silent, so low-key, that, compared to previous Batman films where everyone and his mother knew, nobody knew a new Batman film was coming out until practically the last few weeks before it's release! I was continually bringing it up in conversations and people would say; "What?" And then I'd have to explain the fact that WB was working on a new Batman film. And they'd be totally surprised!

Since the marketing was so low-key, the window where Begins came out and left theaters almost rushed by like a fever dream, and now, it's so easy to forget that it even happened. And I was with the production from the moment Jett announced it was truly happening (And long before!), and I still sometimes can't believe it.

Anyone else feel this way, or do I just sound crazy?

I dunno, I'm usually so out of the loop (in college with no TV) that I usually hear about new movies from my friends or from the internet. My friend told me about BB coming out (she's into comics) and showed me the Tumbler photos, and that's how I learned about BB. Was definitely intrigued from the start, LOL...

There wasn't really a huge hoopla made about begins was there... not like spiderman or king kong or star wars and such stuff.

Well I know the cool toys came pretty late and maybe it was still smelling some of the fart from batman and robin.

The hype around here when it came out was insane though. Flamewars, dying babies, it was an incredible life-changing experience for many batfans.

Personally I didn't like begins so much. The editing was crazy and I better shut up. I love the acting. perfection perfection perfection, even katie holmes, she's my fav out of he entier film.

Well it sorta feels like that to me too. yeah.

I dont know bein a brit, we prety much had loads o advertising but maybee thats coz the yanks got it first so evry issue of a film magazine a picked up had bb on it or rumours of it at least so I coulnd wait!!! Remember the hype for the original? where people were just grafitying walls with the symbol? Well that one symbol was left in stockport for about ten years on a small wall untill the councel decided to bleedin cover it up. but the hype for bb was compleatly different so i also know what yer gon on about.

No it felt like it happened alright.

It just wasn't as great as all the hype made it out to be IMO.
