FutureGM Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 There has been a lot of new information about the upcoming Batman movie, due out in 2005, and I just thought I would post the cast list as of now, which is filled with A-list names. -Christian Bale (Bruce Wayne/Batman) -Morgan Freeman -Michael Caine (Alfred) -Katie Holmes -Liam Neeson -Cillian Murphy -Gary Oldman -Ken Watanabe (from The Last Samurai, nominated for Best Supporting Actor) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hot4beckett Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 My favorite is Batman Returns. I think that's the one with Danny DaVito and Michele Phiefer. I wonder how that one will turn out. I don't think it will be as good as the past ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugg Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 Well, they got progressively worse. I think this one will deliver. Christopher Nolan is very talented and it's a solid cast. Bale is head and shoulders above Kilmer and Clooney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of the new era Batman's, Keaton is hands down though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hotcorner Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 i like the direction this movie is taking. plus chris nolan can write. :thumbup i've heard it will be more of the darker, troubled Batman we've seen from the comics most of the time. more of a "detective"-style instead of the silliness with Mr. Freeze and Robin and the Batkids and Batgrandma... the last two movies were a joke.

Buckeye Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 Who is Christian Bale???? :huh Christian Bale was in American Psycho and Swing Kids. He's a good looking sort with a strong jawline (necessary to play Batman). Supposedly, they were supposed to go with the Year One ultra-serious, detective/police drama format. But, plans have changed and the villain is Ra's Al Ghul and possibly the scarecrow. I don't think it will be great, but it could be pretty good. The first two were really solid, so I don't have a problem with Nolan directing it, he did a pretty good job with Momento and the other movie he made with Pacino and Robin Williams. My own personal take: They should have gone with Year One and just re-introduced a bunch of the important characters (Harvey Dent, Jim Gordon, etc.). I think since the Batman mythos all go from that anyways nowadays it would have been wise to go with the classic comic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FutureGM Posted March 4, 2004 Author Share Posted March 4, 2004 According to reports, the movie is effectively a prequel, as it shows the origin of Batman. The official movie title is Batman Begins, anyway. Harvey Dent and Gordon are in the movie, Oldman is playing the Commissioner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
