Batman, blood-sucking mutants (no vampires mentioned in I Am Legend) and the first look at the Joker... YOWSA! Even makes that abomination of a JLA movie -- read this short news item from the awesome Dark Horizons -- sound slightly more tolerable...

I bet the monologue will be amazing when in IMAX. I hope it's in 3D.

IMO, "Batman Begins" was the best comic book movie of all time. Maybe it's because I've been a Batman fan since I was little, but again, that's just my opinion. I'm SOO excited for "The Dark Knight," it's not even funny. I will be at "I Am Legend" on IMAX on opening night, ever since "TDK" teaser, every single day has DRAGGED. At first I, like most people was completely weirded out by Christopher Nolan's choice of Heath Ledger as the Joker, but I'm putting my faith in him, partly because of what I heard in the teaser, what I've seen in the pics, and partly because Nolan did SO right by "BB." It blew me away unexpectedly. Sorry for the long-ass comment, but I guess y'all can see how enthusiastic I am for this movie. GO "TDK"!!!

B.K., I hope you mean that as a complement. I know a lot of people who think Batman is lame (those comments, however, usually come from little kids who would rather see a big green muscle-man beat up on a bigger, greener dragon who sounds Chinese, but comes from a distant planet.) However, I do agree that both the movies and the comics are fantastic! Huge improvements over the Schumacher Batman movies, and a rather sizable improvement over the Tim Burton Batman movies. Batman begins reminded me of "Batman: Year One" by Frank Miller and Dave Mazzuchelli, and the seventies Batman comics by Dennis O'Neal.

Najeed, I must say that I also agree. I have been a Batman fan all my life (which the other kids thought was weird, what girl loves batman LOL) and I am also very excited about the Dark Knight. "Begins" was THE best superhero movie I have ever seen, above even the first two Spiderman movies, and even the Batman of my beloved Tim Burton could not measure up. "Begins" brought back to me the love I had for the 90s animated series and if "Dark Knight" can do that again than I can give Nolan his well-deserved thumbs-up.

no real batman fan could ever truly accept keaton or nicholson in those roles. the movie turned out decent, but neither of those actors had any shot at trully embodying the characters. a physical puss like keaton playing one of the most physically demanding roles of DC lore was ridiculous, and nicholson never stood a chance of emracing the unique lunacy of joker. i cant wiat to see if heath lives up to the bar set by bale
