The Dark Knight Burton on TDK - kind of

[El Payaso]

Not much to comment about it but I post this for posterity. Besides it's the first time I open a thread I think. Who cares.

Speaking of things you've done that are now being done a different way: Are you interested to see what Chris Nolan and Heath Ledger do with the Joker (in the upcoming Batman sequel The Dark Knight)?
You know, these things are like folk tales. Everybody has their version — which is good. I think that's what these things require and deserve. There's a reason why they stay around.

Did you think 16 years later people would still be making new Batman movies? After a certain point, don't you want to claim the definitive one and tell everyone else to go away?
No! Look it: The franchise world is a lot bigger than us puny humans. [Laughs]

Now discuss.

Is that it? two bloody questions?

 

[El Payaso]

*****ing interviewer. I agree.







I can see a lot of 'bumps' in the future for this thread.

 

[mister Lennon]

Worst post ever.

 

[explode7]

Agreed!

 

[I Am The Knight]

I guess Nolan will be asked the same questions eventually.......

 

[explode7]

yeah the same 2 questions. lol

 

[Motown Marvel]

holy crap....tim burton was almost being humble there!

 

[I Am The Knight]

Well Burton isn't very talkative anyways. There would be long pauses between the words uttered by his mouth. Like John Campea put it: I'm Tim Burton, I'm so darkkkkkk.....LOL!

 

[Ronny Shade]

"like folk tales" I've always felt that way.

 

[Mr. Socko]

Burton pwns all of you.

 

[Ronny Shade]

no he doesn't

 

[Mr. Socko]

Yeah your right, he doesn't pwn me.

 

[Ronny Shade]

Yeah you're unpwnable.

 

[DA Harvey Dent]

That is such a canned answer. No way Burton is gonna say his version was better and there's no way he's gonna say that BB was better. He sidestepped the entire thing by saying everyone has their own vision.

And:

 

[ultimatefan]

I agree and disagree with Burton... Sure there are many valid versions of a particular character, but there are those versions that always rank up there as favorites... Take James Whale and Frankenstein, for instance.

 

[Superwoman Prime]

Burton pwns all of you.

The Phantasm pwns us all, dude.

 

[Mr. Socko]

Yeah you're unpwnable.

You're the coolest man I've ever met.

Burton did a long interview with Ain't-it-Cool (no, it's tiresome and looks horrible) a few days ago, and they didn't ask him anything about Batman. I mean, there are loads of Qs which come to mind when talking to Burton, he's done lots of incredible things, but a hundred years from now, when your great grandkids look up Tim Burton, it'll say, "Film maker of the late 1900s and early 2000s. Noted primarily for his strong visual style used to effect in popular films such as Edward Scissorhands (1991) and Batman (1989)."

You're the coolest man I've ever met.

Ronny's not a man.

 

[El Payaso]

Worst post ever.

Ready for a second page? :meow:

 

[El Payaso]

Now discuss dammit.




consider this my first bump

 

[Two-Face]

Two bloody questions? oh wait I did that

Here's goes second bump!

 

[El Payaso]

Thanks for the support Two Face.

You'll get spinach pie for a year in your mail anytime soon.

 

[Two-Face]

Thanks! LOL
