The Dark Knight Who here is planning on buying the novelization of TDK?

Was the one for Begins any good?

 

The novelization = no.

The Shooting Script? = Yeeooo.

But not till after I see the movie 4 times (Midnight showing + 3 times opening day)

Saturday = once, maybe twice.
Sunday = once.

so possibly 9 times opening weekend, we'll see if I have time to pick it up that weekend.

ill see the movie then buy the novelization

 

same, ill wait to watch the movie atleast a dozen times first..all within its first week of release

 

I wasn't too impressed by the first movie's novelization. So I might skim it at the grocery store, and if it reads good, I'll get it.

 

O'Neil may be a good comicbook writer, but the Begins novelization confirmed to me that he cannot write a novel. I found his prose surprisingly uninspired and repetitive. Which is disappointing, considering how great the expanded scenes are.

I probably won't bother with this next novelization.

 

I'll read it after
No use in spoiling it

 

I remember reading the B89 novelisation yonks ago, it was quite good actually i loved the last paragraph

"one of the gargoyles moved....I am the batman"

 

Unlike movies novelisations should give us that vital inner monolouge of Batman, i loved that in the B89 one. i think ill give BB one a go actually.

 

i really hope they use this pic for the cover

 

Way to bring B89 into everything.

 

How interesting... didn't know it was going to be done as a book. I think I'd check it out.

 

I'll read it.
Hopefully, they won't do what they did in the BB novel, where Ra's actually is immortal... He makes several references to the Lazarus Pits.

 

I think I'll stick with the movie and if I need to read something like TDK, I'll just go with The Dark Knight Returns.

 

That's why I love you, Bubba.

 

I just read the bit of the book available on Amazon. I don't think the immortal part of Ra was bad... he was immortal in TAS too. And the part about him not being able to have a male child certainly adds depth to the relationship between him and Bruce.

If in the BB movie they would have made a greater father/son relationship in the story between Ra and Bruce, I think it would have helped the story. That way we could really feel Bruces conflict at having to destroy Ra, it would be like getting a second chance to have a father figure and then killing him. Also for Ra it would add depth to his character and his motivations for wanting to train Bruce and taking his rejection so personally.

 

I might get it but not read it until after the film. but the pictures I will definetly peek into. ^_^

 

I don't do novelizations.

 

I'm gonna buy the novelization first, but not read it until after I see the movie.

 

I'm sure I'll pick up the Novelization. And probably before the film hits. Though I think I'll wait on reading it until after I see the flick itself.

Unlike a few years ago with SR.

 

I bought the BB novel which I haven't finished yet, too many words to read.

 

...


I got about 85% through it in about eight hours.

 

i hope the dark knight novel is easier to find the batman begins novel
couldn't find a copy anywhere
i finally bought a copy off ebay last year that came with the punisher 2004 novel


the batman begins novel was an alright book
i wish they had included some of it into the movie

Spoiler

like bruce burying his ninja costume next to his parents
