I've just started watching season three... almost two years after getting the set. Yvonne is a breath of fresh air despite the reduced budget.

As much as I love 60's Batman, it is definitely not a series you can binge watch. :o
 
For some reason I am rewatching the TDK TV spots. I am close to tears. Dat nostalgia. It was a great time. I will never forget the lead up to the film.

I still love the Domino's Pizza trailer. It still has one of the best unused shots (and line) from that movie.

The hype was so real. :hrt:

Lots of memories and emotions tied up with that film. A great time indeed.
 
TDK lead up is still the most fun I've ever had on the Bat boards. The marketing campaign revealing new pics and stuff was so exciting.

Wow that one has several shots and lines that were unused.
 
Damn. The sound Batman makes on the Batpod there lends credence to "throat cancer voice".

Lol, thank God they used another take for the film.

So glad to have experienced the buildup and hype of the film.
 
The lead up to TDK was a special time, full of ups and downs. I really believe the movie had one of the best marketing campaigns I've ever seen and had a lot to do with its financial success. The leak of the first theatrical trailer, the first time we ever saw Ledger's Joker in motion, was the peak for me.
 
The first Ledger shot was so creepy. I don't think that exact take was even in the film. He resembled a creature more than a human being. Add to the fact that the version I saw of the trailer was bootleg (the bootleg). It just amplified that disturbing face.
 
I agree with you both about that first, leaked trailer. December '07, wasn't it? It was incredible, and I think we all knew we were in for something special all around right there.

TDK remains my best experience in the cinema to this day.

I hadn't followed any of the marketing, hadn't seen BB even, before going to see TDK, so I was utterly blown away. It rekindled my passion for Batman and sold me on Nolan's take, nothing's been able to top the experience since then.

Speaking of trailers, this is my favourite one for TDK, I love all the cues and think they work perfectly.

Edit: moved this post to the TDKR general discussion thread.

How's everybody doing? Anybody playing the Batman Telltale game?

Haven't played it myself, I'll probably wait for all the episodes to come out before doing so, but I've been following a walkthrough of it on youtube and I'm really, really enjoying their story and take so far.

The changes they've made to the mythos have worked very well imo and contributed to a fresh and compelling take on the Batman story. I also really enjoy the onus placed on playing as Bruce, as well as on all the choices you make.

The Catwoman romance subplot has played out very organically as well and I couldn't help but get shades of their relationship in TDKR with one of Bruce's lines, something along the lines of 'There's more to you than that'.

Looking forward to seeing how the story pans out.
 
So is anyone else still waiting for that Batman Begins audio commentary from Nolan? He said he would make one when the film had "found it's audience". Well it's been 10 years mister :o
 
Must be busy.
Developer of the Incredible Hulk TV series; Kenneth Johnson made his commentary on the pilot on its 25th anniversary, we might get the same treatment for Batman Begins.

Here are my estimations:
Last match will be Heath Ledge vs Robert Downey jr, and The Joker will win it.
 
What a travesty

Speaking of, where is that beautiful son of a gun!?
 
I don't know.
We hope to see him make his return here.
 
Have y'all seen Doctor Strange yet?
