Edited for stupidity.

I'm pretty bummed about the lack of an extended cut, but certainly not surprised. If TDKR suffered for any reason, it was cramming a 4 hour script into a 2 hour 45 minute film. I love it the way it is, but that supposed Bane origin sounds too delicious to never see in my lifetime.

Yes.

Yeah I guess we have to be happy with what we got, more would have been nice but cant complain when we already have an epic 2 3/4 hour Batman film to enjoyt:

I think it's a fitting place to put up in the general discussion thread. This is a bit of a self-promotion. But you guys know how much these films, especially Nolan's trilogy, has come to mean to all of us and me personally and there's been so much discussion about it over the years (from back in '05 when SHH was pure news and lacking a comments section!) But thanks to THE JUSTICE BULLETIN I've finally put down my thoughts about this grand superhero saga on paper and it's appearing in weekly installments starting with Batman Begins.

It'd be great if we could watch these movies together and I know I'd have loved to do that with some of you peeps here, but I think these articles are the next best thing to what you'd get if you were watching the film with me. I owe a lot to the trilogy, and I realised that after I went back and re-watched the first two films after TDKR. So much of my own personal ideology and philosophy have been shaped by it that it's actually hilarious. I grew up with these films, actually grew up, intellectually, watching these. When I left High School and started college I was talking against anarchism because the Joker represented Anarchy and that got me thinking as to whether that particular political ideology had any good merits. I read up on Nietzsche after listening to Ra's Al Ghul's talk about "the will to act;" when I was studying Jung the first thing that came to my mind was "Scarecrow" -- yes, the Watchmen , Batman Year One and The Dark Knight Returns had a similar effect, right up there with BTAS but this is about Nolan's trilogy.

If the comics and the animated series were my childhood, this film series was my young-adulthood and a lot of it I can't go back on. I got accepted into some pretty good colleges in the US , which has been a big deal for me coz it meant I could come back from Bangladesh -- but I couldnt afford it and it was a terrible decision to make. I was destroyed by that back in '09 but then I thought about how you don't have to have a perfect achievement. Like the ending to TDK - I thought about how Bruce had to deal with his failures and I really learned something from it. It's not even about if Nolan had a personal social message or anything, but about how I personally took something from it like you do from a really good work of literature.

Well, now I'm putting it up there, well not the political edge, but the heroic, archetypal bit on the Justice Bulletin each week. It starts with Batman Begins, and mind you it is a bit long. But writing it is worth every bit. I'd really appreciate if you guys gave them a read. Parts 1 and 2 are currently up, with part 3 next week and so on.

Here's the link to part 1, it's the same as the one on my sig.

It's still Batman Begins but I promise you you'll be learning a few new things and appreciate the films even more.

Why?

Because it's the Batman that's why.

Thanks.

The panda eyes! First time I've seen them!

 

[Kane52630]

That ends the panda eyes argument.

 

[Mike_D202]

Didn't they shoot a scene in "Begins" poking fun at the panda eyes? Where Alfred points out to Bruce that he still has make-up on his eyes before going to his birthday party?

It was the original script but there's been no indication the scene made it to shoot

That's been my fav trailer for the past month or so. I think it's perfect for this trilogy. Everyone should check it out

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

Lordy, lordy... that was epic.

Man, I'll miss this interpretation of Batman.

 

[CapedCrusader14]

God I'll miss this trilogy.

Here's to endless nights watching the trilogy back to back!

 

[Alex Logan]

Wow... WB stole... I mean... took fan art and used it.

 

[CapedCrusader14]

It's not exactly the same as MessenjahMatt's but it took the same cue as his work.

It might as well be, heck I made one like that myself.
