RE: Gotham being Chicago, IL
Most DC editors now will tell you that Gotham is supposed to be Chicago, even inthe comics, but I do think that Kane originaly intended for it to be New York. 

It would make sense for Metropolis to be Chicago in a geographical sense, as the REAL Metropolis is in Illinois.  Close to six hours south of Chicago, but still in Illinois nonetheless.

Pretty Sure Metropolis was intitally based on Toronto.

Weird but there it is

Okay, before I proceed...I'm a Marvel guy...so....

I was always under the impression Gotham was Manhattan & Metropolis was *gasp* Washington D.C.

Yeah, I'm dumb. 

*ventures back into the Marvel-Verse*

[Tripe]

Oh and on my point about Toronto 

[Hebs]

Look they have a very progressive Open Door policy on rehabilitation

I think Arkham is alot like that episode of the Simpsons when Snake goes  "Screw the honor system!"  
and there is a sign on the fence saying "Please DO NOT Escape"

I read somewhere that they locked up Two Face in Arkham Asylum and put on a public funeral for Harvey Dent to keep things under wraps, but that somewhere is also 4chan, so I very much doubt its authenticity.  It does make for a very interesting theory, though.

This is what I think...yup, thought since the memorial.

I thought that, but didn't think they'd have *two* fake funerals in one movie.

Go back to your spaceships and mutant academies!!

[Doctor Who?]

And your stupid teenagers whining about not being able to get a date,we are talking about REAL comics here!

I never want to speak to you again.

I have a friend who's wife is from Metropolis, Illinois.

They have at least one or more days as year where everyone is supposed to dress up.

What does their annual Vicars and Tarts day have to do with this movie?

[Ortega]

Just got back from the noon matinee.






WOW.



Loved it.  Loved every second of it.  Of course Ledger was awesome as The Joker.  Someone who thrived and reveled in chaos.  And Eckhart as Dent was fantastic.
I loved how they set up his character as someone heroic, which made his turn in Two-Face even more tragic. And it was nice to see two kinds of villians.  One who was turned to evil by events around him and could understand why he turned twisted. And one who was just flat out evil, who you couldnt even understand, and didn't want to understand.  And if you ask me, even though they didn't kill off Joker, i seriously doubt we'll see them bring him back.  Maybe in another 20 years, becuase Ledger's portryal set the bar high.

Saw the movie. It was good.
It was good enough to make me care about Batman and sympathise with his approch, something the comics and all previous films could not.

Look they have a very progressive Open Door policy on rehabilitation

Well if -I- were making the next movie, Joker would be in Arkham right now poisoning the mind of a lovely naive clinical psychologist right now...

Dr. Strange, okay?

[RoninFox]

uhhhh...no not really.

Dr. Strange is lovely?

[Tripe]

uhhhh...no not really.

Hey different strokes I suppose...

Yes let's not have Mia Sarah be the last incarnation of Harley. Though I see a more Courtney Love-like persona for her in this version of Gotham.

And Of course, people are already playing with the ascetic for Harley:
