Sexta e última parte do review do BOF: THE BOF BATMAN BEGINS REVIEW PREVIEW, Part 6 Friday, June 10, 2005 Author: Jett The last of the roundtable interviews would be with the man behind BATMAN BEGINS - director Christopher Nolan. He was accompanied by his wife - and BATMAN BEGINS producer - Emma Thomas. Nolan is best known for MEMENTO - the “backwards” movie - and INSOMNIA, which he did for Warner Bros. Never before helming a “blockbuster” film, Nolan was thought to be an unlikely choice to revive the BATMAN franchise. But after viewing the film last Thursday evening (June 2nd), that’s just what Mr. Nolan has done. In fact, he may go down in Batman lore as the man who saved Batman - on film at least. BATMAN BEGINS is a serious, adult-oriented film. Chris Nolan agrees, “You’re right. But I think there is this increasing misperception that kids will not respond to something because it is also for adults. I think that often tends to get underestimated.” Since BATMAN BEGINS is such a huge film - and Nolan came from doing smaller ones - does he want to continue making big movies? “To be honest, I don’t think they come much bigger than this,” the director says of his Bat-film. “I would love certainly to do something on this scale again, because I enjoyed it. But I would also be interested to go back to something smaller. I think there are advantages to different scales of filmmaking. You wouldn’t want to do just one thing.” Nolan was questioned whether or not he had any sort of mandate from Warner Bros. when it came to BATMAN. “The creative mandate was really to do something fresh and original,” he said. “And if it wasn’t, I wouldn’t have gotten involved with the project because it is pretty rare to have an iconic figure that is owned and controlled by a studio that’s asking you to do something different with it.” Nolan continued, “For me, what that became was my desire to do something we hadn’t seen before - a superhero story told in a realistic fashion.” For the first time in a BATMAN film, Gotham City looks and feel like a real city - in both size and scope. And even filming took place on location in Chicago, New York, and London, it is its own city. “We tried not to be too specific,” Nolan told us, “We wanted to do something that reflects the reality of a large modern city, which is a tremendous variety of architecture and a tremendous variety of periods in which things were built. We approached Gotham as an exaggeration of New York. [We took] some from New York, some from Chicago, a lot from Tokyo because of elevated freeways and monorails. From Hong Kong we took the walled city of Kalhoon - which is the basis of the “Narrows” which is this kind of walled in slum.” Just as with all the cast and crew that we had a chance to visit with, Nolan was questioned about doing a sequel to BATMAN BEGINS. “Well, I enjoyed making this film very much. So, I would be open to it. But, uh, I wouldn’t want to jump into it straight away,” Nolan said with a laugh. Nolan spent over two years consumed with this film, so wanting to do something else first is certainly understandable. Nolan’s wife, producer Emma Thomas interjected, “We’re having another baby [soon], so I’m quite ready for a holiday.” (A NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR : BOF has heard from several sources that Nolan and Goyer are looking at a trilogy. The next one will feature The Joker, with The Batman’s relationship with D.A. Harvey Dent being forged. The third film will feature Two-Face - the villain that Dent eventually becomes.) Talk of a sequel continued. Nolan was asked if he did come back, if has given any thought to a story - as BATMAN BEGINS certainly sets things up for a follow-up. “Yes, it does [set up for a sequel],” Nolan told us, “but for me it was just a way to send the audience out with a sense of possibility and a sense of excitement about where this character could go. I certainly share that sense and we’ve talked in vague terms about how you could follow on from this film, absolutely. But at the same time, it’s very important that this film stand on its own.” BATMAN BEGINS features very little CGI. Most of what you see in the film actually happened and was filmed. What did Nolan think about the challenge that all the practical effects in the movie would pose? “The challenge wasn’t really to me, it was to the stunt co-coordinator and the physical effects guys, and they rose to it admirably. And I think they - in a day and age when so much is done with computers - they really rose to the opportunity.” Chris continued, “They really enjoyed the opportunity which is performing amazing feats and building amazing things that can actually work in the real world.” Mr. Nolan was asked about his approach in dealing with actors. “Well, my approach is to try to give them whatever they need from me - how much they need to know from me and how much they can figure it out for themselves, really.” Nolan continued, “This was a very talented bunch of actors and they were very specific in what they wanted to do. What was nice was that I was very relaxed with that notion because I had a whole lot of other things to worry about on this film because of the scale of it.” All the actors that I talked to were very complimentary of Mr. Nolan. All commented how they would like to see him return and how “quiet” the set was. And even though BATMAN BEGNS was a huge project, it felt to them like a set of a small film. So, what’s up next for Christopher Nolan? “I don’t know what I want to do next,” said Nolan. “My brother is actually working on a screenplay that is based on a comic called THE EXEC that, you know, we’re quite excited about. But I really don’t know how I’ll end up choosing my next project - it just kind of happens.” With that, Nolan and his wife left us and we were finished with our interviews. We had run late and I had a plane to catch at LAX in less than an hour. I hurried out of the room and down the hall to the elevator. Upon reaching the lobby, I grabbed by bags from storage, hailed a cab, and was then quickly off to the airport for my 6:20 PM flight back to Houston. I got to LAX just in time and arrived at the gate just as the final boarding call was made. We were airborne not long after, and like that, it was over. I had been in LA for just a little over 33 hours, but I had made memories that would stay with me for the rest of my life. And hoping that this man guides The Bat to where he should go on the big screen over the next decade. NEXT : Jett’s review of BATMAN BEGINS

Não vou ver.

Parte 4: THE BOF BATMAN BEGINS REVIEW PREVIEW, Part 4 Thursday, June 9, 2005 Author: Jett Morgan Freeman - a recent Oscar winner for his work in MILLION DOLLAR BABY - was the first to enter the room. Mr. Freeman chatted a bit with the group of reporters, including a bit about his sailing expeditions of late. Soon, we were joined by Gary Oldma, who came in using a very nice cane - but no visible limp. Both were congratulated for the excellent work, “In the movie?” asked Mr. Freeman. “Thank you,” said Mr. Oldman. “We’re both pleased to do that,” Freeman responded, “We both are pleased and feel that it is an excellent movie.” Freeman was asked if had had seen BATMAN BEGINS yet. “Yes, I saw it night before last. I was really knocked out.” Morgan Freeman looked and sounded just like “Morgan Freeman.” I remember thinking to myself, “That’s friggin' Morgan Freeman right there!” As I stood there across the table from him, he came off very distinguished and as being genuinely glad to be doing this press junket. Oldman was just as charming. I recall thinking that Mr. Oldman was sort of a strange character based on his work in past. But BOF contributor Paul J. Wares had told me how cool Oldman was when he visited the set last September for BATMAN ON FILM (if you haven’t yet read Paul’s series of set reports by now, you should - they are excellent!). Also, fans had emailed BOF about just how accommodating and friendly Oldman had been while filming on location in Chicago. And that his how he came off during these interviews as well. We asked both what is was like working with the star of BATMAN BEGINS, Christian Bale. “Kind of a slimy character. Full of himself.” Freeman joked.” “You caught him on a good day then,” Oldman quipped. “He didn’t smell too well when I worked with him,” said Oldman, who shot several scenes as Gordon with Bale in full Batman costume. “I can understand that,” Freeman continued, “sweat would just drip off of him wherever he had holes in the gloves or something.” “He would just stand - and there would be a puddle” says Oldman, “because it was pouring through his shoes.” “He worked hard,” says Freeman of Bale,” he worked really hard.” So, were the fans of the previous films? “Um [extended]. Gary was,” Freeman told us with a wink. Oldman broke out in laughter and informed us, “You can quote me on that.” Enough said. In BATMAN BEGINS Oldman plays Jim Gordon the way he should be played. He is no buffoon, and he and The Batman (Bale) interact just as they should - which is the first time it was done correctly in a live-action film. Oldman’s talked about prepping to play Gordon and working with Christopher Nolan. “I put it [Gordon’s back story] together in my kitchen. Learned the lines on the plane. Got there and did the first scene, you know? Just like that.” He continued, “Sometime directors come in and talk. And they are ‘jailers’ of your talent sometimes. They close you up. Being a good director is knowing sometimes when not to say something.” “Knowing a lot when not to say something,” Freeman interjected. Oldman continued, “And Chris would let you, you know. He had such an overview of what he wanted, that if you were kind of going off a bit, you know, he’d kind of nudge you back.” “Very quiet,” Freeman said of Nolan, “And very good. I told him ‘OK, I‘m in your hands.” So how did they shape their character and were the comics useful? “I don’t have to do anything,” Freeman told us, “the character is shaped on the page. Someone is going to dress you. Part of being an actor is wearing costumes, and costumes tell you a lot about who you are. Basically, you just get out of the way [of the character].” “Oldman joked, “Well I moved to Chicago for a year. And I studied at the police academy.” Everyone had a good laugh - I told you that Oldman was quite the card - and Gary continued, “The script is your map of the world. And if it is well written, you get all you need - it’ll tell you everything you need to know. And then Chris goes and hires Lindy Hemming (BEGINS’ costume designer) - who is a great designer - and you are not there for four days constantly saying ’No that doesn’t work.’ She’s got a great sense of how you might dress so she offers up three jackets and shirts, and you’re like, ’You know, I think I’ll wear that first jacket and tie.’” Mr. Freeman plays Lucius Fox in BATMAN BEGINS. He’s a scientist - and former Wayne Enterprises board member - who helped design most of what eventually becomes The Batman’s great gadgets. He was asked how he makes all that scientific talk real. “By learning it so you don’t have to think about it when you say it. That’s all that’s about. I mean a scientist sounds like a scientist because of the things that come out of my mouth. That’s all. If you can just get it out without stumbling, it’ll sound fine.” Oldman added, “Acting is not about the intellectual, it is a feeling.“ So neither did a lot of comic book research when it came to their character. Oldman says, “People ask ‘How did you make that work?’ Well, you’re talented.“ Eventually, talked turned to possible sequels. Are they looking forward to working on future BATMAN films? “Yes,” said Oldman very quickly. “I’m happy to become the Commissioner Gordon. I’m only a Lieutenant at the moment. I’d like for it to be made a bit closer to home, you know. I did about twelve round trips - twenty four flights - [filming BATMAN BEGINS]. I was sort of in a state of jet-lag. Maybe that’s why Gordon seemed a bit tired.” “You’re really not joking here,” Freeman chimed in. “No,” Oldman continued, “Chris wanted this state of weariness [to Gordon]. All those flights certainly worked!” And on that note, they were off to do this all over again with another group of journalists. And still no limp from Gary Oldman.

Parte 3: THE BOF BATMAN BEGINS REVIEW PREVIEW, Part 3 Wednesday, June 8, 2005 Author: Jett Friday, June 3rd was the day of the “roundtable” interviews. On the schedule were most of the major cast (Christian Bale, Katie Holmes, Michael Caine, Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman), producers (Charles Roven and Emma Thomas), screenwriter (David S. Goyer), and the director (Christopher Nolan). The interviews would take place at the Regent Beverly Wilshire Hotel, which was the headquarters of the press junket We were not due to start until 3:15 PM, with a 2:45 PM check-in. I spent the day mostly in my room, working on BOF and doing some additional prep for the interviews. Around noon, I packed my gear, checked out, stored my bags, and headed on up to the 8th floor hospitality suite. There, I found the place to be much more active than it was the previous day. Warner Bros. reps and various media types milled around the many rooms doing their thing. I headed into the largest room of the suite - where the Ra’s Al Ghul costume was located - and found myself a place on a large couch. On the wall across from where I was sitting, was a large HD wall TV playing various extended scenes from the film. At first, I thought they were showing a DVD of the film - which fired me up to say the least. I quickly found out that wasn’t the case, although some of the best scenes of the film was being presented. After watching several “loops” of various scenes from BATMAN BEGINS, I made my way into the dinning area where they were serving lunch. What a spread! I filled my plate along with everyone else, found a small table to sit, and enjoyed some very excellent chow. The roundtables were to take place on the 6th floor. I was to be in “group four” and assigned room 617. I left the hospitality suite, walked down to the elevators, and made my way two floors down. I was fooling with some equipment in my bag as I walked out of the elevator, and out of the corner of my eye, I saw someone. My lack of attention almost caused me to run into this person, but I avoided them at the last minute. “Excuse me,” I said as I looked up to find Katie Holmes standing right next to me! “No problem,” she muttered, as she walked off talking to a Warner Bros. rep. I soon found room 617 and entered to find about ten or so other reporters sitting around - and no chairs. I found myself a spot along the table, directly across from where the cast and crew were to be sitting. It was a bit uncomfortable having to stand for an hour and a half, but I actually had a good view of the surroundings. A few minutes after our designated start time, the first pair was ushered into the room - producer Charles Roven and screenwriter David S. Goyer. It was announced that Goyer had laryngitis (which a writer had told me about a few days earlier), and he was indeed speaking in very hushed tones. Most of the questions were directed at Goyer and pertained to BATMAN BEGINS, but also THE FLASH, which Goyer is writing and Roven is producing. “I haven’t even finished it,” Goyer says of the project. “Chuck [Roven] is one of the producers on it. He’s riding me to finish it. Until I finish it, then we’ll get into who might play him.” Ryan Reynolds as The Flash is a hot rumor making the rounds of late. Will he play the Scarlet Speedster? “Who knows,” says Goyer, “he’s not attached.” Roven had high praise for the talent in BATMAN BEGINS. “The actors could take lines, and in other hands, may not be as warm or funny. Their delivery and timing was exceptional. Michael Caine’s timing is incredible. Morgan Freeman’s timing is just incredible, you know.” Everyone wanted to know was about any future sequel. "Who knows, honestly,” says Goyer. “I'm not being coy, but none of us are signed for another yet. We're all sort of waiting to see what Chris wants to do, so we'll see." Roven and Goyer were asked about what kind of mandate they were given by Warner Bros. Says Roven, “The studio had kind of decided - before our involvement - to try revive the BATMAN franchise. And they had been working on it for a couple of years. They knew they wanted to do something different than what the character was in BATMAN AND ROBIN, and they were trying different things - not knowing exactly what they wanted. But when Jeff Robinov came on as president of production, with Alan Horn, they sort of focused on doing an origination story. And when Chris Nolan came in to talk to them - along with David - they too thought it was best to do an origination story. And one that would be grounded in reality. And that’s really how it [BATMAN BEGINS] came about.” For some reason, the abandoned BATMAN VS. SUPERMAN was brought up. Producer Charles Roven says that the script - penned by Andrew Kevin Walker - is “great.“ BATMAN BEGINS clearly shows that there is more life in the franchise. And I think if there was another BATMAN done in the near future - if any of us were involved - most probably would flow from this. Plus, you also have to wait and see what Brian Singer‘s SUPERMAN is going to be. And I don‘t think a ‘Batman/Superman‘ movie is even going to be brought up again until those kind decisions are made.” Says Goyer, “With this new film, we certainly aren’t going to do it for a while. Maybe one day.” (A NOTE FROM JETT : Much has been made of this online, and in my opinion, taken out of context. Yes, BvS was a good script - but it is clearly a sequel to the previous BATMAN films, as well as the Richard Donner SUPERMAN. It was have to be completely revamped - or totally re-written - to fit. I’m not holding my breath here. Clearly, Mr. Roven was simply keeping options open. He never indicated it was in the works.) Roven talked about what Christian Bale brought to the role of Batman. “The thing about Christian that is so amazing is that he has the ability to do all the things that were required of Bruce Wayne and all the incarnations of the character. He needed to be able to give the darkness of the real Bruce Wayne, he need to be able to give the physicality of Batman, and he needed to be able to give the light touch and charm of the public Bruce Wayne. And if you know anything about Christian, he throws himself into his roles completely in every way. Plus, he did a screen test that blew everyone away.” “We wanted to link Bruce to Gotham in a way that had never been done before,” says Goyer. “And we wanted to link his father to Gotham.“ The reason is that it makes Batman’s mission is that much more personal and important. “We wanted to create a character that has a lot of lightness and darkness within him,” says Roven. “Just like the bad guys do. And show exactly how close we are as humans, you know, to doing good and bad. We’ve got them both inside us.” “But Bruce,” says Goyer, “never crosses that line.” Next up was Sir Michael Caine and Katie Holmes. Sir Michael walked in very exuberant, “Hello all,” was how he greeted us as he walked in and sat down. Did you like the movie,” he asked us. “Good,” he said as well all told him yes. It makes our job a lot easier.” Asked if he did any research about the Alfred character, “I did a back story on him,” Caine told us. “I wanted him to be tough. He was a sergeant in the SAS, got wounded, and went into the sergeant’s mess, because he didn’t want to leave the Army. He learned all that serving drinks and stuff and got picked up by Bruce Wayne’s father.” When talk of a sequel was broached, Caine says, “I would like to do a sequel, if there is one. Sir Michael also told us that he’s certainly glad that he didn’t have to wear a costume. “Oh my God, I don’t want to strap on anything. I was a soldier; I couldn’t wait to get the packs off my bags.” He ads, “I remember Christian talking about how hot the suit was. He left puddles of sweat behind him. I liked my wardrobe, I hate even having to wear a wig - it means you have to be on the set an hour earlier.” Caine also commented on Christian Bale’s transformation into Batman. “He was great to work with and he’s dedicated. What he did with himself physically was amazing. I’d seen him in AMERICAN PSYCHO, and he was kind of thin. If I had know about [THE MACHINIST], I’d have completely freaked out! Then I showed up on the set [of BATMAN BEGINS] and there was Arnold Schwarzenegger standing there.” When asked how he would like to see his character develop in a sequel, Caine quipped, “Longer. More screen time. “ Ms. Holmes was a bit more reserved that Caine, many times deferring questions to him. She told us “It was quite a thrill to get the role of Rachel. I really liked her strength,” she continued. She‘s worked for everything she ever got.” Rachel Dawes was one of the few characters created just for the film. Says Holmes, “The back story [for Rachel] was already there [for me]. She grew up with Bruce in that house. Her mom was a servant there. So it was all pretty much there on page. It was fun to think about the experiences her and Bruce may have had growing up, and how that would come into play as they got older. And that came into play in the story.” She too is up for a sequel, “I really liked the story. I’d love to do another one. I loved working on this movie, BATMAN BEGINS.” Holmes also said that she loved working with Cillian Murphy, who plays “The Scarecrow” in the film. “It was wonderful working with Cillian, he’s a great actor. We had a nice time. He was really creepy in the movie. I didn’t like that mask,” she said of the burlap sack Dr. Crane uses. “I mean I liked it, it was just really creepy.” Both were asked of their most surreal moment while working on BATMAN BEGINS. “For me,” Caine said, “was when I walked into the Batcave for the first time. You see, it was a set at Shepperton Studios on a soundstage - which was the first place I ever said a line in a movie. I had eight lines in the picture, and messed up six.” I told them ‘Those are great false bats in the ceiling.’ And they said ‘those aren’t false, they’re real. They are asleep.’ Then the waterfall started - it was a massive set, just massive.” Holmes said that the first time walking into the Gotham City set was her surreal moment. “It is just incredible place. I felt that I was in a real city.” This prompted Caine to interject, “I’ve got news for you about the sequel - They haven‘t pulled that set down. I’ve never told anyone that. It is still there.” “I know,” Holmes chimed in. Caine continued, “And it’s really Chicago, quite weird. Quite strange.” “My respect for Christopher Nolan is quite incredible,” says Caine. “I was intrigued that the man behind INSOMNIA and MEMENTO would be directing a big budget film like this and they trusted him with it - a hundred million dollar picture. But I love it. I’ve seen the picture now and I just love it.” NEXT: Morgan Freeman and Gary Oldman J.C.C38511.9218402778

Sim, com tudo que eu vi do filme até aqui (trailers/spots e afins), eu estou achando que tem tudo para ser um puta filme (mais que esse "bom" dos filmes do Burton, eu espero).

Eu tbm achei bem fraco sapo. Na realidade nada do que liberaram do filme até aqui anima. A única coisa que empolgou é quando disseram que o novo filme não teria nada dos anteriores. Mas como não tem nada dos anteriores se o 'novo' uniforme é praticamente o mesmo que o Cloney usou em Batman e Robin? E pecaram quando tentaram ser diferentes' date=' visto que a Gothan City parece a cidade do Spiderman, a trilha feita em duas mãos é fraca e sem idêntidade, o batmovel (aqui com o nome de O Trambolho) é horrível, enfim... Será melhor que os filmes de Burton (os do Schumacher nem valem citação) mas ser melhor que os 2 primeiros filmes nem é tão dificil e não significa nada. [/quote'] Na verdade eu acho difícil que este filme supere o Batman - O Retorno. Embora eu reconheça suas falhas, acho este um filme maravilhoso... é uma opinião bastante pessoal, tenho sérias ressalvas com aquele filme, do tipo que não dá pra ser fã com mais de 12 anos. mas respeito. diga o que voce gostaria de esperar de um filme como batman begins? Concordo, e eu já devo ter comentado aqui que os filmes do Burton só empolgaram quando eu era criança. Hoje acho apenas BONS filmes, nada mais.

Eu só me lembro de terem falado por aí. Já viu se tem alguma coisa na Amazon? Procurei, e nada. Dei uma "googleada", encontrei alguma coisa, só que nada demais: Só isso: "Batman: Special Edition - A Warner está trabalhando em silêncio numa Edição Especial do filme de 1989, para ser lançada quando Batman Begins chegar aos cinemas em 2005. Possivelmente esta nova edição fará parte de um box-set contendo os outros três filmes da série." E isso: http://www.cinemaemcena.com.br/cinemacena/forum/forum_posts. asp?TID=3190&PN=1&get=last (vou esperar por melhores informações - e que o cara lá espere )

Para quem estava esperando (assim como eu), aí está a primeira parte do review do editor da BOF: THE BOF BATMAN BEGINS REVIEW, Part 1 Monday, June 6, 2005 Author: Jett This all started back in 1998 - June 2, 1998 to be exact. That was the day that I launched this website that you are reading now, BATMAN ON FILM. It was then that I began campaigning for a new BATMAN film and reporting any and all news regarding "BATMAN 5." Flash forward exactly seven years later. The morning of June 2, 2005 started very early for me, as I was due to be on an 8 AM flight to Los Angeles. I woke up early - earlier than I had intended actually - and couldn't go back to sleep. Couldn't stop thinking about BATMAN BEGINS and the fact that I would be seeing it in a little over twelve hours. I arrived at Bush Intercontinental Airport Houston about an hour prior to the flight. I moved through security rather quickly and proceeded to my gate - which just happened to be the last one in terminal E. I arrived just as they were making the last boarding call for the flight, which was fine with me - I wouldn't have to be sitting around the gate waiting to board the damn plane. A few minutes after I found my seat, it took off without a hitch, heading west. I hate flying. I don't know if I have ever mentioned that here on BOF. I mean I do it, and I fly somewhat regularly, but I still don't like it. Luckily, the three hour ride to LA was smooth as could be. I watched a movie on my laptop - FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS. If you haven't seen it yet, you should - especially if you are a sports movie fan. Shows you how serious we take our football here in the Lone Star State. Actually, in 1975 when I was ten years old, my hometown high school (Port Neches-Groves High School in Port Neches, Texas) won the state football championship of Texas by defeating Odessa Perrmian High. And Perrmian is the team that is depicted in FNL. I got to LA around 9 AM local time, hired a shuttle to take me to the hotel, and got to the Beverly Wilshire Hotel about an hour or so later. This is the location of the BATMAN BEGINS press junket and where Warner Bros. put me up for the night. Pretty darn nice digs, I've got to say. I checked in, got to my room, and then did some work on BOF. I also did an interview with a writer for THE BOSTON GLOBE that will run in conjunction to the release of BATMAN BEGINS. I'm really "big time," right? Yeah right. One of the first things that struck me about LA was the weather. Very nice and cool. A welcomed change from the humid, mid to high 90s I had left back home in Houston. Around mid afternoon, I headed up to the hospitality suite that Warner Bros. had set up for the junket. There, I almost lost my "professional demeanor" and slipped into full fan mode. Greeting me at the door was a full-size Batman costume from the film! Walking around, I found that they had several costumes from BEGINS on display: another pre-Batman Batman suit; the raggedy-ass clothes Bruce Wayne wears in Asia; the clothes that Lucius Fox (Morgan Freeman) is wearing when he shows Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) the future Bat-gear; on of Ra's Al Ghul's (Ken Watanabe) costumes; and The Scarecrow's garb - including the burlap sack mask and straight-coat! Very cool! I was able to snap a few pictures and then went on back to my room to get ready for the 7 PM screening. The bus for Mann’s Chinese Theater was leaving at 6 PM sharp from the Beverley Wilshire. I arrived and took a seat at about twenty ’til the hour. The bus already had several people on it, and many were still boarding. Soon, the Warner Bros. reps arrived, did a quick head count and check-in, and off we went. It took about forty minutes or so to get to the theater. The talk on the bus was about Batman. The girl behind me was representing ABOUT.COM, and informed me that she know very little about Batman. She asked me who I was there for, “BATMAN ON FILM,” I told her. “I know you,” she said, “you must be very excited?” “More than I can say,” I replied. Once arrived, we were given instructions to head back to the bus soon after the screening, or your ass would be left behind. During the short walk to the theater, I was able to snap a few pictures - one of them (which you can see below). The building across from the theater had it’s entire from side covered in a BATMAN BEGINS ad, making it a huge Bat-billboard! We continued on across the famous hand and footprints, up some stairs to the fourth floor, and on into the building. We were given a movie pass and had any bags checked for recording devices. No cavity searches took place as far as I know. I got my ticket and headed on in to secure a good seat. People were still filling in over the next several minutes, and the auditorium soon grew to maximum capacity. It was damn packed. I was sitting there thinking - anxious as hell - “Dude, you are about to see BATMAN BEGINS! Like at any moment!” Eight years of waiting for another Bat-film was about to come to an end. My lifetime wait of seeing the definitive Batman flick could possibly be ending as well. The lights dimmed. Some scattered applause broke out among the crowd which included me. The Warner Bros. logo appeared in black and white on the screen, followed by the new DC Comics movie intro. Then swarming bats flying across the screen, briefly forming the BATMAN BEGINS logo. No credits, just straight to the film. Here it was, finally! BATMAN BEGINS had begun. TO BE CONTINUED…

Eu até acho que esse cara lembra o personagem, e tem alguns traços dele, só falta saber como é seu potencial como ator. Já quanto ao Glover: também não conheço muito do seu trabalho, mas dos filmes que eu vi dele, achei que ele não fez nada de extraordinário ("As Panteras", e "As Panteras: Detonando" foram os filmes; duas "pérolas", vale dizer). Alguém já viu o "Vingança de Williard"? É bom? Em As Panteras ele foi o melhor do Filme, super vilão sinistro sem ter uma só "fala" e não podemos esqueçer dele na Trilogia = Back to the Future (De volta para o futuro) Eu já não achei um "super-vilão sinistro", como você mencionou. No máximo, eu o classifico como um "bom e discreto vilão, nada extraordinário".
