The Dark Knight Nolan better listen to bat-Fans!

[The-Dark-Knight]

is that what were refered to as.........BAT-FANS? oh thats sounds so corny, can i not be a gothamite or something?

Lol your hilarious by crediting Nolan because memento was nominated for an academy award FOR WRITING, Last time I check it was Nolan and his Brother Jonathan who colloborated on the screen writing of memento. The same thing could be said about Batman Begins it was David Goyer and Nolan who colloborated on the film and I definetly liked Goyer's vision better than Nolan's vision. As for Quantin Tarantino he directed and wrote "Kill Billl vol.1" and just for the record it recieved 39 nominations and 12wins. Quantin wrote and directed it on his own he didn't need an extra hand. Trust me Quantin has a longer resume then Nolan, Quantin has written the script for "Jackie Brown", he wrote the screenplay for "From dusk till dawn" he did the story for "Natural Born Killers" as well as "True Romance" and "Pulp Fiction".

Are you trying to argue Nolan isn't a good director, or simply that Tarantino is better than him? Cause if it's the latter...that's utterly pointless.

He also collaborated on "Sin City" with robert rodriguez and frank miller.

That was a beautifully directed one minute and 37 seconds.

Oh and by the way You don't have a clue on what a proffesional is.

At least I know how to spell it.

Let's see if you can see the difference between Tarantino's work and Nolan's work:

"And just because Quentin Tarantino has more credits than Nolan, it doesn't make him any better." - M...something or other.

Besides, not only did your listing give no merit to the actual quality or the works, but you listed things as worthless as TV appearances. That shows absolutely no evidence for quality or professionalism. I mean, Paris Hilton technically has more TV apperances than Nolan, does that make her better at her profession?*

And y'know, I'm not saying this because I'm trying to make Tarantino look bad or anything. I love his films. I might actually prefer him as a director to Nolan, but your arguments are just, well, laughably bad.

* ****ing.

 

[7Hells]

lol CConn, that was a masterful footnote!

 

[diagonbruce]

For the record there are many Batman fans that need help and generally speaking all forums have many types of personalities this way.

 

["V"]

Erm, as said before a lot of Tarrintino's stuff is plagarised and he has collaborated with other writers (Avery) on some of his best work like Pulp Fiction. Kill Bill is a four hour homage to his favourite films.

Why did you list all of his guest appearances on Conan O'Brien? I assume Hiedi Klum has been on that show more times than Nolan which makes her more of a professional than Nolan.

When it comes down to films they will both be level at five each, and the Kill Bill films are technically a single film so we could argue it's five-four to Nolan.

Nolan has achieved more than most directors do in a whole career by the age of thirty six. Quite remarkable really.

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

If he listened to every fans request and whimper......well, we'd get a large pile of crap.

I think he should go with his instincts and do what he feels best.

Isn't that how comic book creators do it? Don't they go for what they feel is best instead of going out there and asking every single fan what they want???

We got BATMAN BEGINS.......for the love of God, give the man is due. He did a great job, and the unthinkable.......he gave Batman his balls back.

 

[Superman: Idols]

Too true. If fans had their way, Frank Miller's Batman would probably look light by comparison.

Totaly agreed Nolan deserves trusting

 

[Alonsovich]

I find funny that some people start threads about "director listening to bat-fans" and then tries to shove a "directorial choice" down the throats of those he says the current director should listen to...

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

lol....yeah, that is kinda ironic actually.

 

[LadyVader]

Chris, you just listen to your mother.

 

[BatJeff7786]

Anyone who thought Begins was boring and dull has some serious ADD problems that they need to get checked out.

 

[kenellard]

it wasn't that begins was boring, for somebody just to state that as a reason for not liking the film is ridiculous, but there were many areas in which begins fell down, which have been stated on these boards numerous times, so I think it's best to admit that begins is a very popular film that does batman justice to an extent, but there are flaws which can -and hopefully will- be rectified in TDK

 

[Eros]

I agree Kenellard, i like batman begins alot, but it could of been vastly better considering it fell apart in the last act.

 

[BatJeff7786]

I agree Kenellard, i like batman begins alot, but it could of been vastly better considering it fell apart in the last act.

I agree that there are a lot of flaws toward the end (mainly just the whole microwave plot and that damn annoying guy at the watermain moniter ("she's gonna blow"), but I think the first 2 acts were good enough to make up for it.

 

[BH/HHH]

Hang on you didn't like the Batmobile chase? WTF?

 

[Anita18]

And just because Quentin Tarantino has more credits than Nolan, it doesn't make him any better.

You can do as many projects you want but if the majority of them suck, they mean nothing. If most of your work has been good rather than sucking, than you are entitled to be called a professional.

Totally agreed. To me both Tarantino and Nolan are professionals (even though Tarantino's movies are not really to my tastes) because they are both visionaries and they bring a great amount of integrity and dignity to their work. I can't picture either of them selling out to the Hollywood crappy-movie-machine.

 

[Matis17]

Why did you list all of his guest appearances on Conan O'Brien? I assume Hiedi Klum has been on that show more times than Nolan which makes her more of a professional than Nolan.

Obviously this clown just lazily coppied and pasted his IMDB page.

 

[marcvader]

Overall I was satisfied with the tone and look of BB but I will admit that there were some flaws such as too many unclear fight scenes. But this was a minor thing in my book. I have complete confidence that Nolan will give us comic book fans another good flick.

 

[explode7]

The thread starter does have an important point that is almost terrifying as well. The point where he said the reason for its success is that it is an origin story. Could this be true???

 

[7Hells]

Of course.
But if non comic book fans can appreciate the movie as much as us then the origin has little to do with it.

 

[CConn]

The thread starter does have an important point that is almost terrifying as well. The point where he said the reason for its success is that it is an origin story. Could this be true???

Well, yeah, he sorta is. The whole point of BB is Bruce becoming Batman and his psychology behind it all, but you have to remember it's Nolan that chose the focus of the film, it's morals, it's structure, and a lot of what makes a film good, or great.

If, y'know, Joel Schumacher made a Batman origin movie, would it have been good simply because it was an origin? Probably not. Because Joel Schumacher simply never had what it took to make a Batman movie. Nolan, obviously does.

It's not really "terrifying" as, if Nolan can find what's interesting and special about Batman's origin, and present it well, I don't see why he couldn't do that with the other Batman stories feature the Joker and Two-Face and whatever lies ahead in TDK and the third film.

 

[L0ngsh0t]

Ok first of all I just read an interview of Chris Nolan stating this, "I make films that I think would be fun and interesting to watch and I just assume that there are other people like me out there."

I got extremely pissed off at that moment. I know many of you think that Chris Nolan is a god and that he's the best director ever but listen the only reason Batman Begins was successful is because it was an origin story, which we never seen a live interpretation of. Nolan did many things in the movie that I didn't agree with For instance: Batmobile chase, the fighting, the editing, the action and of course katie holmes. I hope Nolan hears batfans because I'm sure that most of you agree with me that the visual style for Batman Begins was boring and plain. He said he will change things up I'm starting to get worried I hope he makes the dark knight a sophisticaded summer blockbuster film, seriously it's the danm Batman, Batman is not a drama queen he's a freakin bad ass.

PLEASE NOLAN MAKE IT MORE COMICAL WITH REALISTIC ELEMENTS INSTEAD OF VICE VERSA. DARK, BRUTAL, EYE CANDY, AND OF COURSE BAD ASS WITH IMPACT!

this guy is a ****ing idiot, what a ****ing scrub

you know what if you ever get to make a batman movie, then by all means, make the comical **** that was already made by burton and schumacher, and we can suffer through the sins of batman, batman returns, batman forever, and batman and robin

people don't like begins because it was just an origin story, they like it because for the first time in over 15 years someone has made a ****ing good batman movie, and that someone is Chris Nolan, who, funny, made what he thought was a good movie the first time, and, funny, he was right....so i am pretty sure the formula will work again

and you may not agree with the editing and sound of batman begins, but people who are paid to distinguish good sound and editing, at a place called the Academy gave Batman Begins best editing and sound of the year, so you can get your bicycle gang together and say what you want

but don't actually, because people may disagree alot about different things, on these boards, but the stupid **** you are hating on is something that i am sure most people unanimously disagree with you

 

[Thespiralgoeson]

This is sorta off-subject, but Schumacher could've made great Batman movies if he wanted to. Seriously, the guy is a damn good director (Phone Booth- great movie)

But no, WB wanted movies that would sell a lot of happy meals, and he did his best to give them exactly that, and simultaneously make the entire Batman universe overtly homoerotic.

Your the ignorant wacko who can't even comprehend on what I am saying now can you?

Hmm.. let's see when the hell did I said The sound of Batman Begins sucked? Please tell me because obviously I can't see where I said that. Did i said I hate begins? No, i simply said the action could of been better and some of the elements. Batman begins is the still the best batman film out there, it had alot of mistakes it wasn't a perfect movie but if you compared it to it's predecesor then yes it was a perfect film. Batman Begins was substance over everything else the way Nolan edited the movie was lame. What? he thinks we can't get a feel of the intensity of a fight I would of prefer if he emphasizes on the impact of a fight e.g. (bourne identity,kill bill vol.2,fighter in the wind,Mission Impossible 3).Instead of shaky camera angles where you can't see crap. Oh and by the way you need to have your eyes check buddy thanx for proving your ignorance your ignorance just made me look good,I believe that's called "ESCALATION" funny how you say "Academy"
because last time I checked Batman Begins was nominated not "Given best editing and sound of the year" but words speak so little and source speaks so much so here feed on this:
