The Dark Knight (SPOILERS)

[Thorns of Crimson Death]

True, though if a movie switched from a TV shaped image to an IMAX image actually on an IMAX screen it'd be easy to see that difference.

Yeah, it would look like ass.

With all the excitement and hype they have created for this movie they better damn well have their movie live up to it. I have no desire to see another Spiderman 3 or Revenge of the sith.

The second one (this one) will be just fine; it is the third that will suck.

See: Spiderman, X-Men, Batman (90's continuity)

There may indeed be a curse at risk for ruining the third installment, but even a broken clock is right twice a day. What i'm trying to say is there's always an exception to the rule.

[esoobaC .T bocaJ]

Yeah, but X-men 3 was directed by the Rush Hour guy

[bratpop]

To be fair though, they never did really hype anything about the movie's story, or even any scenes in particular. Just the movie itself and the new characters (mostly Joker). So as long as the Joker is in it, they weren't lying about anything.

If they had saved the Joker for the third one, not only might the third film actually be good for a change, Heath might still be alive. Pretty much anything after the Joker is bound to be a let down. Two-Face is basically only Half-Joker. Not really as cool.

[Thorns of Crimson Death]

So I'm assuming that they're throwing out the old story of how it was the Joker who killed Bruce Wayne's parents in front of him as a child.  Seeing as it wasn't Heath Leger in "Begins" but some transient looking guy.

[Doctor Who?]

That was never the story to begin with.

That was just something stupid they added at the last minute to the first Batman movie.

In the comics we never find out who the Joker really is and that is one of the reasons he works as a villain.

[Thorns of Crimson Death]

Ah, word. Thanks for the clarification.

[GLaDOS]

See, I didn't like the first Batman movie with Michael Keaton for a couple reasons: First, Michael Keaton was only playing the role as a favor to Tim Burton. Secondly, The Joker was a pussy. Batman Villains should at least be able to stand toe to toe with Batman. Tim Burton's lame treatment of Superhero Mythologies does not sit favorably with me.

Actually, we find out quite a few times... in quite a few different ways! Whether any of them are legit or not is a different story. But at this point, i'm not sure that even The Joker himself knows who he ever really was anymore.

I'm curious whether the new film will even bother with an "origin story." In a way... i kind of hope not. Apparently The Joker existed in that world at the end of the first film, so i assume that any origin would have to be a flashback (which is lame.) And in one of the trailers it seems like the police picked him up, and have no idea who he is. I guess we'll see...

Actually, it's Lee Ermey who picks up the clown faced guy and mistakes him for Private joker and goes on to kick the shit out of him.

I remember there's a quote to that effect in one of the comics from the Joker himself, but I can't remember the exact issue.  It was something along the lines of "Some days I remember it one way, some days another.  If I'm going to have a past I prefer it to be multiple choice."

Pretty sure it's The Killing Joke.
