08-06-2007, 07:24 AM

Has anyone else watched it again recently? What did you think?

tekken · 08-06-2007, 06:42 PM

i've watched it recently too. same thing...dark knight hype.

the movie was too good for me to forget anything. it didnt really get better from my other 10,000 veiwings when it first came out.

i only get the "i-forgot-how-good-it-was" feeling whenever i watch Batman: The Animated series. because well...it's old now, lol. i'd still say batman begins is fairly "new."

I watched it again and it opened way too many plot holes for me.....1)Like why were they able to get leverage on the judgeby having pics of him with some girls(happen to be the same ones he was with when Bruce confronted the Crimeboss) when he was openly with them at that Bar????
2) Does Maroni not have a good lawyer???? I know in the real world he would have gotten off on the technicality that he wasnt arrested at the scene that some vigilante beat him up...or go with the whole Batman brought him to the docks and tried to set him up????

Two-Face · 08-07-2007, 07:08 AM

You mean Falcone not Maroni

roach · 08-08-2007, 01:55 AM

yeah my bad..where'd I get Maroni from????

Two-Face · 08-08-2007, 06:41 AM

He's in TDK, perhaps that's where you got confused. Lol.

but that was seven years ago . . . not necessarily the same girls as in the pics; but to be honest, I never caught a good enough look at the pics . . .

it didn't matter; he was going to get off anyway, but he started trying to throw his weight around; Scarecrow was tired of his ****, and new Ra's would be too . . . so he gassed that ass

DV8 · 08-08-2007, 11:25 AM

I've seen BB like soooo many times it's not funny . . . it comes on HBO all the time, and I'll watch it just about everytime I see it on (granted there's nothing else on to speak of) . . . . I really never get sick of it . . . it's a SOLID movie

OctaviusINC · 08-10-2007, 06:07 PM

It was really good. I enjoyed it. But the thing is that I love Nolan's universe and Batman so much, that I wanna see more of it. I really don't care how he began. I know how he began with the comics. So I'm guessing TDK is going to be for me.

El Payaso · 08-11-2007, 10:42 AM

I can't watch it too often. After a while it's all waiting too long to see way too little of Batman.

Maybe her had a wife. That bar wasn't exactly advertised all over Gotham. Maybe he was seen in the same bar as Falcone, ect, ect.

No but the reputation of a judge can be damaged if he is discovered being unfaithful to his wife or hanging out in such a shoddy place. He's a Judge after all. Look what happened to the Mayor of Los Angeles. He cheated on his wife with a news reporter and now his reputation is in shambles.

I just found out Bale auditioned for the role of Robin in Batman Forever

DeathRaven · 08-12-2007, 12:47 PM

I get a craving every once in a while to watch Begins, just watched it a few days ago. But due to work I dont always get to.

I love watching when batman screams at Flass, one of my favorite scenes besides when Bruce is training with ducard.

Seriously?

El Payaso · 08-12-2007, 05:00 PM

Oh yes, we had a thread about it.

Superman Prime · 08-12-2007, 05:31 PM

Weird. Definitely my 'Fun Fact' for the day.

CaptainBeaver91 · 08-12-2007, 09:36 PM

One thing that really always baffles me...and i've tried to understand this so many times is this:

I get that Joe Chill shared a cell with Carmine Falcone in the past, so why does he have somebody send to kill him after the hearing?

Don't like flame me for this or anything guys! lol I just need this bit of information. I can connect all of the film's twists and turns together but not this.

El Payaso · 08-13-2007, 11:24 AM

Chill was released partially because he could give info about Falcone. Therefore Carmine sent someone to kill him before he talks.

CaptainBeaver91 · 08-13-2007, 03:24 PM

Alright, thanks man! I guess I must've been thinking too hard during that scene.

roach · 08-15-2007, 08:36 PM

...and no one could tie the shooter to Carmine even after she says "Carmine Falcone says Hi" or whatever she said infront of the whole Gotham media????

Two-Face · 08-16-2007, 05:18 AM

People like Falcone own the police, the media anything they can their hands on cos why? They are untouchable.

November Rain · 08-16-2007, 05:22 AM

I don't like viewing this film and have only gotten through it once. I think it spends a large proportion of its time pretending to be something its not.

Build up to batman is fine but the pay off is pretty weak for the suspense. I also thought the overall ra's goal was not the best sequence of events and i don't think the city was really in as much peril as they made it sound.

to each their own i suppose.
