The Dark Knight They need to introduce the Batcomputer in this one...

[cryptic name]

chicago is an old city too. but it's a real city with history that has been rebuilt and added to, much like gotham would be in the real world.

 

[E-Mack]

Well I guess I just expected more retro designs. I don't think I can recall any specific scene in BB that had that, it all looked like new buildings to me.

 

[cryptic name]

what about the narrows?

 

[E-Mack]

What about it?

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

They looked like God crapped on them, and didn't flush.

So, not like new buildings.

I think that's what cryptic was trying to say.

But, I dug how they modernized it. Made it more like OUR world. Like Baltimore, like New York, like Detroit, like Chicago. Like a real city, that was going down like some that exist in our world.

I dug that.

Train scene with his dad. Screamed retro to me and that was enough...Kind of reminded me of that "World of Tomorrow" movie actually.

Actually, the Batcave doesn't really have a name. Bruce/Batman has regularly refered to it in current cannon as simply "the cave". I believe it was Dick who asked Batman in DARK VICTORY, while sitting in the cave, "What do you call this place?" To which Bruce respondes.. "I never thought of giving it a name."

It's never really had a definitive name, to fans- it's the "BATCAVE", to the characters actually IN the universe, it's just a cave that Batman operates from.

It was the 1960's Batman show that really started the whole insertbathere, naming system.

-R

Actually the 1943 Serials named the cave before the 1960s version . . . .I cant remember if Bruce and Dick said it but I know the announcer did say Bat-Cave.

Well, I have to admit I found it a little convenient that Gotham managed to keep all of its ancient slums and bad neighbourhoods conveniently tucked away on an island they can isolate at any time by raising the bridges.

 

[The Caped Knight]

Seriously, it's only the next logical step for Batman's arsenal. Oh god, I can't wait to start getting scenes of Bale's Batman sitting in front of those giant monitors...

agreed

 

[RedIsNotBlue]

Bat MP3 player *****es.

 

[Savage]

Well, I have to admit I found it a little convenient that Gotham managed to keep all of its ancient slums and bad neighbourhoods conveniently tucked away on an island they can isolate at any time by raising the bridges.

Actually it's very possible. Living in New York I can tell you there is a big difference between Manhattan and places like the Bronx and Brooklyn so Gotham's reverse and exagerated version doesn't bug me in the least. You keep the slums over here and the rich, extraordinarily expensive homes over here. Crackheads can't afford upscale apartments.

Not to say there isn't crime in those upscale parts. Hell, that's probably why they're bringing in The Penguin in the next one. To show this. There was just only so much they can show in one movie. I'm sure by the next one Bat's will be stopping criminals from all parts of the city and that we may see parts not explored in Begins.

 

[AnimeJune]

Penguin's coming? WITH the Joker? Cool - where'd you hear this?

 

[E-Mack]

It's just rumor at this point reported by BOF.

 

[AnimeJune]

It's just rumor at this point reported by BOF.

Ah - okay. My picks for casting would be either Ricky Gervais or Jack Black.

 

[Savage]

It's pretty old news now actually. As of now the rumor is that Phillip Seymore Hoffman is being considered for the role but there has been no recent news besides that.

 

[Mr. Vice]

Ah - okay. My picks for casting would be either Ricky Gervais or Jack Black.

Jack Black? You're playing, right?

 

[AnimeJune]

Ooh, Phillip Seymore Hoffman could be a good choice. Definitely. And I hope they go for the comic origin - Tim Burton's "Tarzan of the Penguins" deal was grotesque, but fitting - but I'd prefer a different sort of thing if they're doing it this time around.

 

[lujho]

Naming everything just seems too metrosexual for Batman.

WTF? That's the worst misuse of the word "metrosexual" I've seen on these forums yet. I'm convinced no-one actually knows what it means.

 

[The Sage]

Definitely a batcomputer, complete with the giant cray mainframe and large monitor.

 

[Bullseye]

Oracle would play a big part for Batman's tech department. Though the character is a long ways a way from the Oracle phase.

Since Lucius is a member of the board of Wayne Enterprises, Fox can easily get Bruce anything he needs, at least all the technology he would need.

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

Well, I have to admit I found it a little convenient that Gotham managed to keep all of its ancient slums and bad neighbourhoods conveniently tucked away on an island they can isolate at any time by raising the bridges.

Well, the rich like to keep the poor down. That's one way of doing it, by keeping those cheap bastards on an island.

Actually it's very possible. Living in New York I can tell you there is a big difference between Manhattan and places like the Bronx and Brooklyn so Gotham's reverse and exagerated version doesn't bug me in the least.

Yup. It's part of the social class. Keep them apart, so the poor won't steal from the rich. I think it's part of how it goes down, really.

WTF? That's the worst misuse of the word "metrosexual" I've seen on these forums yet. I'm convinced no-one actually knows what it means.

Well, it just seems like someone would think he's "gay" for categorizing everything, with Bat- infront of it with bat logos on everything.

I'm not saying it is gay. Just that it can be mistaken for it. Being kinda too stylistic too, I think. I mean, this is about fighting crime, right? Batman seems to be the type of character that would like to keep it simple and basic, atleast in terms of his gear I'd think.

Isn't that why DC Comics has kinda, really, thrown all the naming of the gadgets, gear, and vehicles on Robin?

Since Lucius is a member of the board of Wayne Enterprises, Fox can easily get Bruce anything he needs, at least all the technology he would need.

Pffft. Bruce owns the company, he can take whatever he wants.

But, instead in the comics....Bruce doing that, it's nice to have Lucius in the loop on this, so he can cover Bruce's tracks.

But, really.....Bruce could probably buy whatever he needs that WE doesn't have, under a fake name and front account.

Being rich is soooo ****ing good.....

 

[Compi716]

I for one would love to see Batman sitting at his computer doing something wearing the costume, but without the mask on.

 

[I Am The Knight]

Why? It would be more of a little obssesive compulsive behavior, to have everything named after ''bats'' like that. Not gay for sure.....Doesn't makes any sense to me. But, did I mention it would be cheesy as hell if he started naming stuff like the bat-shark-repellant? DAMN.

 

[lujho]

I kind of sussed that out. But, crucially, metrosexual doesn't actually mean "gay" at all, so trying to use it as a sneaky way of getting around the "not using 'gay' as a pejorative term" thing makes no sense.

Exactly - the term "metrosexual" was just used to label straight guys who are cultured and have fashion sense, traits stereotypically stuck on gay guys.
