ajzepp Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 I'm pretty excited about this flick, though I have to say I'm not sure how I feel about Heath Ledger in the role of the Joker. I was in the camp that wanted either Adrien Brody or Crispen Glover, but since the first film was cast so well I'm willing to give this a chance. Hopefully it will rock even more than the first one. linky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ned Flanders Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 was that theatrical, or a made for tv deal with Adam West? 732952[/snapback] Was in the theatres, in fact I remember seeing it at the drive-inn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R. Rich Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Interesting.....I'll have to see if Netflix has it. 732958[/snapback] Probably. It's not that hard to find. Good for a sampling of what made the 60s show so much fun, as you get 4 villains for the price of one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's rare that I rent older flicks, but usually when I do I end up loving them. I still consider "Witness for the Prosecution" one of the greatest films I've ever seen.....way ahead of its time.

Crap Throwing Monkey Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Interesting.....I'll have to see if Netflix has it. 732958[/snapback] Be warned, though: it's as campy as the series, if not more so.

Netflix does carry it, and they also have some Batman serial collection dating back to the 40s....I was reading some of the comments and I guess they're fascinating to watch because they reflect a lot of the political climate of the WWII era.....pretty interesting!

pdh1 Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 was that theatrical, or a made for tv deal with Adam West? 732952[/snapback] It was was rush-rush job, made to cash in on the popularity of the TV Show, which was a surprise hit earlier in the year. Kind of like the "American Idol" movie: From Justin to Kelly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverNRed Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Let's face it.....this is going to be the greatest movie ever. Jim Gordon: And what about escalation? Bruce Wayne: Escalation? Jim Gordon: We get semi-automatics weapons, they get automatics. We get kevlar body armor, they get armor-piercing rounds. And you're wearing a mask. Take this guy... armed robbery, double homicide... has a taste for theatrics, like you... he leaves a calling card. [Gordon hands Batman a clear plastic evidence bag with a playing card inside it] Bruce Wayne: [batman turns the card over to reveal that it's a Joker card] I'll look into it.

CosmicBills Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Can Heath Ledger make people forget about Jack's version of the Joker? Nolan better hope so. Otherwise this movie's dead before it begins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
