The Dark Knight Concerns about TDK

[gwynplaine]

My concerns :

None.

 

[Mercurius]

My concerns:

Recast M.Gyllenhaal

Hey, the Gyllenhaal girl is far better than original Rachel Dawes.

 

[Citadel30]

My concerns:

Trolls jumping to ill conclusions about this movie before they actually see it.


opps- too late!

 

[Nepenthes]

it doesn't have Killer Croc

 

[bullets]

^i'd be concerned if it did

opps- too late!

If you want to call someone out, just do it then.

 

[Magic Griffin]

i think the multiple batmen are something to do with Scarecrow... if you take a peek at the leaked pics again, the one with the group sitting (3 of them in batsuits) tehre is one of them that looks distinctly like Cillian Murphy.

opps- too late!

So to you having a concern means:

-You are a troll.

- You are jumping to conclusions.

Get over yourself. Not everyone has to absolutely love everything about these movies. It isn't the end of the world if people think differently from you, so stop judging others for doing so.

I'm guessing you don't interrogate people on the street for dressing differently from you or listening to different styles of music? So why do so on the internet?

 

[Mitthrawnuruodo]

My concerns:

Bale too thin but minor complaint.
Still not enough faith on Ledger.
The Batpod
Recast M.Gyllenhaal
Multiple Batmen
Dent not fleshed out character before becoming Two-Face.

Same here.
Exactly.

Bale seems why too thin. Ledger has impressed so far, but i'm still a little concerned. The Batpod looks fine, but i'm concerned about the 'Toy' factor. Nolan famously didn't want all the toys in BB, and stipped Batman to the basics. Now i see them creeping in again.
Magiie is a good choice, but i still don't like the recast. But hey, what could have been done?

 

[KILLING JOKER]

My concerns:

Bale too thin but minor complaint. (I agee that this is minor)
Still not enough faith on Ledger. (Certainly agree with this)
The Batpod (I have no problem with the Bat-pod)
Recast M.Gyllenhaal (This is unfortunate for sure, that is that Dawes was recast or put in the movie at all)
Multiple Batmen (Doesen't bother me)
Dent not fleshed out character before becoming Two-Face(I understand the concern here as well.).

Why do you have issues with multiple Batmen and the Batpod?

 

[explode7]

Dent is not developed before becomming 2 face? This movie is going to bomb for sure.

 

[KILLING JOKER]

Dent is not developed before becomming 2 face? This movie is going to bomb for sure.

Owww. Such wit.

No-one said the movie was going to bomb. Harvey Dent is a complex and important character. With all that's going to be going on in the film I hope they develop him properly.

 

[hegele]

My concerns:

Bale too thin but minor complaint.
Still not enough faith on Ledger.
The Batpod
Recast M.Gyllenhaal
Multiple Batmen
Dent not fleshed out character before becoming T looks Two-Face.

I understand what you are saying but...

Bale too thin but minor complaint. He has only been seen in a suit, shirt, look at American Psycho, he looks almost the same
Still not enough faith on Ledger. can't help you there until you see him
The Batpod whats wrong with it?
Recast M.Gyllenhaal Wha? and bring back KATIE HOLMES? ew! Maggie can act!
Multiple Batmen We don't know the story
Dent not fleshed out character before becoming Two-Face. you could not possibly know that unless you saw the film or at the very least read the script

If that's not a concern for somebody, they obviously haven't read Long Halloween or any other story featuring Dent.

These are CONCERNS. That means he is concerned that these things may happen, they are not complaints. So saying "see the film first" is pointless, because he can still be concerned these things will happen.

God forbid someone have doubts...

Yes, thank you. I don't think anything is more lame than the tons of people on these boards who defend the movie as the greatest film of all time and spit venom at you the minute you doubt anything that you've seen. I want to love the movie but I'm not going to be brainwashed and simply force myself to eat anything they do with the Batman universe. I guess some people have ideas of thier own. God forbid that too.

Agreed.

 

[Conebone69]

My concerns:

Bale too thin but minor complaint. I dont think we have enough pics to say that yet
Still not enough faith on Ledger. I have full faith, I think he'll do great
The Batpod I didnt like it at first but it grew on me
Recast M.Gyllenhaal At first I had a problem with her being ugly until I saw some set pics of her
Multiple Batmen Dosent sound like something that would be in a batman movie but I bet when it all plays out in the movie, we'll all like it
Dent not fleshed out character before becoming Two-Face. That could be a problem, but im not too concerned about it. I trust nolan

Dont agree with most of that

 

[Super_Ludacris]

Fair enough concerns

I dont like the whole Batmen/ Reporter trying to find out his identity plot.

Not sold on the idea of no cave for the time being but whatever...

And we gonna have to accept Bale's weight in this one. Oh wells...

 

[AmazSpiderman1]

I'm really not looking that forward to this movie anymore. I was pumped, I'm a gigantic fan, but nothing in this movie feels very Batman to me.

Im concerned about the suit, the joker, the batpod, the "realism", hiring only foreign actors, and the Batmen.

The suit looks ridiculous. I know they are trying to make it believable, but it doesn't even look good. They need to get away from using all this rubber and try out new materials. How is Batman supposed to be running over the rooftops and jumping around when he's wearing Tank armor? Why does the batpod look like just two big wheels? It's like this Batman universe has no style. It's function over form; nothing looks Batman-like at all. I realize too that the mansion burned down in movie 1, but I don't like the not-Batcave in this. When will Batman actually become the mythic great scary character he's supposed to be? I like Batman to at least appear legendary, have the car and the cave, and actually make it look like the comic for once. It seems Nolan has his "schticks" and thats about it. Like why doesn't he cast American actors? I'm fine with mostly foreign actors, its no big deal, but at this point it seems like he's actually against hiring Americans. So any future movies he does you know that the villian will be played by a brit or an aussie before the movie even starts casting.

I'm afraid after the success of Batman Begins that the studio might of given Nolan too much control, and he's just running with it any way he wants. That can be a good thing, but I don't think it is with TDK. Nolan doesn't seem like he's much of a Batman fan. I mean, honestly, so far as we know is anything "batman" really being preserved? It seems like hes just making it a real world movie that happens to have Batman as one of the characters. It's kind of like the new Halloween. He's stripping down all the essentials of what makes these characters great, and all the mysticism, and making it just like "realistic". I don't know why most ppl are bashing Halloween for doing that, but it's ok for Nolan to do the exact same thing. I question anybody who says they are a fan, but then decides to change important things, that were never shown on screen properly in the first place, like the Joker's actual origin. I'm also lookin at you, RAIMI. Leave characters like the Joker and Venom alone! Especially since we haven't even seen the right versions of these characters in live action before.

Sorry for the long post, I don't post on here often, but those are my concerns.

I can't say that I'm not excited for this film, but I can really see where you're coming from with all your complaints.

 

[stonecold]

i got criticisms, .. but i think your worrying too much.. Nolan is making more of a true batman film to me than any of the others, the most epic yet..... dark and serious..thats how it should be, thats what i want.. yeah sometimes it can be a little too dry and not super-slick. But im thrilled we got to get a director as hardcore and good as Nolan, its good he makes it HIS film, im glad hes not a studio fed hack , or a source pandering comic freak. I want him to challenge and suprise us.. im excited by the fact they are doing something new with it. Same as in the comics.. i want an artist and writer to bring their own take not roll out the same tired ****. Nolan and Ledger's new Joker is slaying me, i think he's genius, dark, messed up and basically the Joker i dreamed of seeing on film all my life... (even with a totally new look that took me a while to get used to ). I like the comics joker, but hell if i'm not just as excited about this twisted , cool as ****, mass murdering demon jester. Joker is causing so much chaos in TDK that i dont know how you can say that TDK Joker wont be comic-like.. so far it sounds perfect. yeah the suit aint that great but we yet to actually see it in action properly, lit, filmed etc. it hopefully will be good, all but a few of the leaked images were barely actual film shots. and the criticism about 'foreign' actors is ****ing bull**** ... it's sad if u really think that.

yeah i disliked the destruction of wayne manor in BB.. but i think it made the point that we are now going to see bruce/batman on completely new territory.. in the center of Gotham, it takes him somewhere new.. but they still got it there to rework in. The bike is just in line with the tumbler and similarly i'm sure we will like it once the film is out.. some of the film of it in action show that its sleak, cold, practical, monolithic wheels... i think it will look badass on film.. but yeah i accept these designs dont look too hot in some onset photography, but few things do. i totally agree that Batmans costume looks awful in some of those shots.. but they are not finished film clips.

just trying to be upbeat.. Joker, TwoFace/Dent, Joker blowing up hospitals dressed as a nurse, blowing up ferries, ambushing funerals, blowing up his own goons with bombs in their stomachs, killing cops, killing people in the street with an m16, killing the mayor disguised as a cop, attacking tv stations, mowing people down in a customized semi truck. throwing SWAT teams off skyscrapers, robbing banks, broadcasting twisted messages to Gotham, baiting batman, hanging fake batmen.. what is there not to like. i just see the makings of the best batman film ever, fingers crossed .. i got doubts but right now im just ****ing hyped . I want a dark, hardcore batman film, i want a marketing campaign with dark Joker cards, the red writing from Arkham Asylum, minimalist , stark teaser trailers , a brilliant cast, brilliant writer , director, a huge budget. Im finally, pathetically excited that thats what it looks like we are finally gettin. A proper Batman film. if people want 'dead-end' batman/joker, youtube, fanmade emo batman, or some mtv superhero film im sure it will come back round. right now whatever his idiosyncrasies, im grateful we got Nolan.
