"Did not like" or "did not bother to go watch" isn't the same thing as "going over their heads."
The official Dark Knight thread

I would hope that Iron Man would do a bit better. It's basically "company president makes a high-tech toy to beat up bad guys with." Why wouldn't the Japanese love that?
Not to mention that they're getting an anime of it!

I just wanna officially say Michael Caine is the man

yeah.

yeah.
Sweet. Sweet indeed.
Is that a poster or a sign, or what? And what does it say at the very top? "#1 movie at the box office/of the year" or something like that? I think I saw something similar to that at Best Buy the other day, except it had the B-man on it. Anyway, I'm buying this movie as soon as it comes out on December 9.

yeah.
makes grabby hands WAAAAAAANT. D8 Is it a glossy or matte? (not that it matters, just curoius)
@ Nobodyman: I think it's a quote from someone's review; there's small writing under it where a writers name and magazine/newspaper title would be.

"The movie that set the new Number 1 box office record."
They don't mention which one of course. They leave details like that out. Because they're Japanese and sales whores.

Nice pic Greg (and no homo, but you is sexy).
Funny thing about DK; Wizard Magazine actually labeled Ironman their #1 movie of the year, with DK in 2nd place. I loled at this, but passed it off as the editors being Marvel fanboys. -
Eh, Iron Man was more "fun" than Dark Knight was.
I won't deny that Dark Knight had more merit and was a better movie overall, but it's not exactly the kind of thing that I have any real desire to watch again.
Just so depressing…
-
You bring up a good point Dark Lord. And that is, yes, DK is depressing. It's the kind of meloncholoy I have fanboy wetdreams of. He's a hero, but he's reviled. And even though people in high places know he's a decent person, they have no choice but to reject him.
What makes this film so enjoyable is you know there's going to be a 'redemption' film and that makes this all the more worth it.
-
Batman can get away with just about anything, he's got one of the best prep. times in comicdom.
…but a redemption is something I don't think they should do. -

Redemption doesn't always mean a 'positive' thing. He could find himself vilified but at what cost? I'd like to have a conclusion where he actually died and his motives were only widely known after his death.
-

To be honest, I'm not so sure that they'll actually go that route with the next one. The only version of Gotham that beats out this one in "shithole" status is the utter cesspool that is All-Star Batman and Robin's version.
Though I certainly will not be complaining if they do. Shit would be amazing.

Bought the DVD 2 days ago, didn't know it was out yet.
One of the best movies ever IMO. And i'm not even a Batman fan. -
It's already out in your area? Lucky dog.
-
Anyone planning to go to a midnight release?
-
God damn, they might catch up to titanic.
-
XD good!. titanic sucks
-
-
Titanic reeks of mendacity
-
I liked that movie ;_;
(btw: this is my 100th post :D)
-
how do you know that? I wonder how many i have
-
YES
I'll have this movie on Blu-ray in 16 hours…
-
I has it! I got it right around midnight my time. SWEET!
-
I wake up in the middle of the night from someone texting me they got the Dark Knight from the midnight release.
Must be that good of a movie (saw it in theatres).
-

Right next to your post is your avi, above your avi is your name, click on your name and click "view public profile" it will take you to your public profile page and somewhere if you scroll down it should say "view posts made by ____"
there you go.

Picked up the regular Blu-ray today. Didn't feel like paying $18 more for the masks at Best Buy.
-
i came home and my roomates were watching it tonight. :)
-
Got it today and just finished watching it.
BTW, the PS3 Bluray Remote works really good (got it on Black Friday).
-
Hmm, this reminds of this one time while I was working my cashier job at Giant and a customer I was checking out handed me a dollar bill, but someone had drawn a joker face on ol' Georgie. I pointed it out to her and we had a good laugh (she didn't do it). I shouldn't have said anything though since she decided to keep it as a commemorative kind of thing, which is what I would have done. Oh well, it was an interesting event nonetheless.
Anyway, I'm gonna pick up the movie tomorrow.
-
Picked up the movie today, still as awesome as when I saw it in the theatre…
-
Picked up my copy today from Wal-Mart and I was amazed how many different versions they had. There was the regular wide-screen, regular full-screen, two-disc special edition, and then they had a collector's set that included a Two-Face coin and excerpts from the original comic strip. I decided on the two-disc edition, and I'll be watching it later tonight.
-
I got the regular edition, didnt see any other kind then that, but yeh, great movie, almost even better from the comfort of my home.
-
I got the blu-ray Bat-Pod edition. <3 the IMAX scenes so much!

So it's pretty much copying the Iron-Man movie pod rght?

lol, this is why it should only be driven around at night.

So Christopher Nolan recently said this:
- Nolan has no idea who the five people killed by Two Face are, because when he was asked, he refused to answer, saying something like "I'll answer that one day, but not today."
Interesting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm glad this was not just something I missed in the process! Remember back when I asked about that? I wonder who!

Ah, I always wondered that myself. I know one of them was the cop he killed in the bar, and the Maroni's driver and presumably Maroni himself. That leaves two unaccounted for. I wonder if it'll tie into the next movie.
-
How very interesting.
-
What five people 2-Face killed?
-
Gordon said something along the lines of not being able to hide that Dent killed five people. That's where Batman stepped in and took the blame so that Dent could remain the shining knight. Ever since then it was a mystery who those five were considering that we have only two confirmed with the cop and Maroni's driver. Ok, as Nobodyman said Maroni could have died back then two but that still leaves two more since Rodriguez appears to have survived.
