prove me wrong

your face

I enjoyed it. Not frothing-at-the-mouth like some critics received the movie, but it was excellent nonetheless.

As a hardcore fan of Batman: The Animated Series, any Bruce Wayne who appears different from his iconic animated persona will always look a little weird to me. Bale's jaw isn't wide enough.

I loved it, maybe even more than Batman Begins, in movie production terms (lots of really cool big-budget movies this year, it seems). I think I found Batman Begins a little more moving, though, in its comparatively simple philosophy. I'll always remember the line "It's not who I am underneath, but what I [i]do[/i] that defines me."

I contribute most of my love for these movies to Nolan as a filmmaker, and to the stellar acting involved, rather than to the actual interpretation and painting of the Batman mythology, which the animated series already did with inimitable honor.

(Note: if anyone can pronounce "inimitable" five times fast, I will give that person a quarter. )

Inimitable isn't really hard to say, you might as well give us a quarter for saying "dog" five times fast.

sounds about right

I asked about seven people, and none of them could do it. So listen up, you hagglers: forget the quarter, or the nickel--I'll give you a half dollar, and that's my final offer!

I think Heath is a shoe-in for the posthumous Oscar, but I never watch the Oscars, so it might end up going to the monkey in [Mr. Lostman]'s avatar for all I'll know.

If you die, you get an Oscar. It's basically a rule.

You realize though that the only actor to receive a posthumous Oscar thus far is Peter Finch, right? And he had a waaaay more distinguished career than Heath Ledger.

But yeah they hand out honorary Oscars and best gaffer Oscars posthumously like caskets.

I would attribute that to not enough lead actors dying within a year of their last film.

I would probably have given Heath the Oscar if he was still alive. It was such a huge change in role for him, and he nailed it perfectly.

Hell, he did such a good job, it killed him. (Not really a joke, but you can take it as such if you want.)

I agree. I finally got around to watching it and must say...I was really really blown away...all of it came together so well it was hard to pick at the little flaws or inconsistencies. Chris Nolan did a much better job with this one than Batman Begins.
