One for the DC fans (Not a Review)

[BROOD5050]

For the past several years I’ve been complaining along with many of you, about how poorly Warner Bros has been mishandling its DC Comics properties. Most of us agree that they have put out some “Epically Proportioned” stink bombs along the way. Being an avid follower of the DC Universe for so long, it doesn’t feel very good seeing the characters you’ve come to love and care about for so long being treated like garbage in the movies. Superman the Movie and Batman Begins in my opinion, are the only notable exceptions until now. The Dark Knight! To be perfectly honest, I wasn’t expecting much out of this movie. I felt very negative about this movie up until the day it was released. I’m glad I was wrong………For once DC fans can hold our heads high because this movie was a victory. Lets hope Warner can follow through with more. There is still a long road ahead but at least the Warner Flunkies are starting to pay attention.

I'm sorry. I stopped paying attention to what you were saying when you said that you're expectations of TDK were negative...

After seeing Batman Begins you didn't have high expectations for The Dark Knight?

You thought they was gonna blow (sequel) it....huh?

Sure they were!.....Sequels are usually not as good as the first and I was concerned about the introduction of way too many major characters too soon. The Joker, Two Face, and the Scare Crow all in one movie together? That scared the living fan boy out of me! Did you forget a movie called Batman and Robin? How about Spiderman 3?..................I expected the movie to be decent given the reputation of Christopher Nolan but, who knew he was going to pull off an Empire Strikes Back, Wrath of Kahn, Godfather II, and Temple of Doom.

Nolan had proven he can have a few villains in one movie at a time and do it well.

Batman Begins had three: Ra's al Ghul, the Scarecrow and Falcone.

Yes, but I thought it was a fluke and Batman Begins was far from being perfect in my opinion.

Brood:

TDK proved it wasn't a fluke.

Batman Begins had its faults, but the movie was so good they don't stop it from being an excellent film, IMO.

I say there should be a fan edit where someone takes the entire first half of Begins & various stuff from the rest of the movie & then put that into The Dark Knight & voila

t:

The third half of Batman Begins is terrible but the first half or so is amazing
