Batman Begins The Batman Begins General Discussion Thread

Dan Mora doing the BB suit??

Beautiful!

I think Nolan would have called the film just Batman or probably also The Batman if he could have, The Dark Knight sounds much more like a sequel to Batman than to Batman Begins (Batman Begins does sound like or at least suggest prequel to previous/existing films series).

It's hard to realise it now that it's so instilled into film culture, but remember that the whole concept of total reboot pretty much started with Batman Begins, it didn't exist before. It was either remake, sequel or soft rebooted sequel.

AHHHH he looks so good here. Loved the BB suit.

I always thought Batman Begins was specifically Nolan’s idea. I’ve actually grown to love it; I agree it doesn’t fit alongside TDK and TDKR, but still a great title.

And I love the BB suit, it’s a classic; but imagine Bale in the Pattinson suit in Batman Begins. Keep the Tumbler tho lol.

Just saw that it’s the 21st anniversary of Bale’s casting. Crazy.

This was literally Tim Sales version come to life, for me. I always thought so.

Really awesome retrospective series I stumbled upon on YouTube. Covers all three films’ production through release—

Nice video. Although… dude spent several minutes on the strength of the marketing (posters, teasers, trailers). But only a few seconds on the fact that the film underwhelmed at the BO. Seems like there should have been more analysis on why the marketing didn’t pay off.

I preordered the Keaton and West cowls McFarlane put up a month or so ago. No idea how they’re going to come out, but for 15 bucks a pop, it seemed too good to pass up.

 

[Sawyer]

Need it.

Despite my issues with the TDK suit, I actually rather like the figure that I have from McFarlane, but I absolutely love the Begins suit, so this is a must buy.

Still waiting on them to do Ra’s.

New DC Multiverse Batman Begins Figures Revealed From McFarlane Toys

Shown below is a look ToyShiz gives us a first look at a few new DC Multiverse Batman Begins. Shown are the new Batman which we first saw last month during th

toynewsi.com

In addition to the Begins suit, it looks like McFarlane is doing a Fear Toxin Batman and a Scarecrow in his suit and tie look.

Continuing lack of Ra’s makes me wonder if Neeson is a tough sell when it comes to likeness rights.

Picked up a Hot Wheels take on the Batman Forever Batmobile today, presumably to capitalize on that movie’s 30th anniversary, and I got to wondering if we might see anything like that for Begins (aside from the aforementioned McFarlane figures)…
