    There didn't seem a proper thread to discuss about new

    or old Batman movies so I'd thought I'd post one. enjoy....

    Some stuff about new movie the Dark Knight(Spoilers)


    " />http://www.empireonline.com/images/trailer/breakdown/darkknight/2.jpg

    He's Back


    You can't actually see it clearly during the playing of the trailer, but by lightening a single frame of the moment when Batman crashes into the roof of a van, you can quite clearly see that the driver is none other than The Scarecrow. We've seen someone who looks like Cillian Murphy in previous leaked photos and Murphy's been non-committal whenever asked about cameoing in the new movie. Guess we can now consider that confirmed.


    " />http://www.empireonline.com/images/trailer/breakdown/darkknight/3.jpg

    Eric Roberts


    This isn't a spoiler of any kind, but if you look to the left of The Joker in the scene where he's gathered Gotham's no-goods, you can clearly see the first look at Eric Roberts as Sal Maroni. Since the death of Carmine Falcone, Maroni has taken over as head of Falcone's mafia family and, if the film follows Batman comic book lore, he's a key part of the creation of Two-Face. Like we say, not a spoiler but it's always nice to see Eric Roberts.


    " />http://www.empireonline.com/images/trailer/breakdown/darkknight/4.jpg

    Birth of Two-Face


    A long-running rumour about the birth of Two-Face as a character in the movie had him being doused with acid during a court case, as is the character's origin in the comics. But the picture of Harvey Dent face down in liquid suggests otherwise. Actually, that doesn't even look like acid (as we all know, acid in movies is fizzier). It looks like gasoline. Will Dent instead be burned?


    " />http://www.empireonline.com/images/trailer/breakdown/darkknight/5.jpg

    Then there were two


    It's over in a flash, but the trailer does actually offer the first look at Aaron Eckhart in his Two-Face guise. Toward the end of the promo there is a shot of Harvey Dent sitting in a car with a gun held against the side of his face. Look closely and you can clearly see that his chin and nose are a little crispy around the edge. From what Nolan and Eckhart say, the other side of the face is particularly horrific.

    Suffer Little Children


    We knew the deeds of The Joker would be dark, but one shot shows the explosive destruction of Gotham General Hospital. Of course, there's a chance that all the women, children and feeble folk were evacuated before the big bang, but a show of humanity wouldn't really be The Joker's style. In short: when it comes to who could die, all bets are off.

    Bye-bye Rachel<br.


    We find it hard to believe that Christopher Nolan would give away a highly significant character death in the trailer, but a little past the halfway mark you can see The Joker drop poor Rachel Dawes (Maggie Gyllenhaal) from the top of a building. Now, she may be rescued by Batman in a demonstration of quick thinking and derring do, but the only footage we see of her is during the party that The Joker crashes. Is this the end of Bruce Wayne's childhood sweetheart?

    =====================

    At least I'm excited that Scarecrows back, Sal Maroni is in it, Rachel might die and they're actually showing a true joker...

    I saw that image elsewhere as an artist's rendition. May not appear that way in the movie.

    And maybe it's just me but it seems a little early to have this page pinned when the movie is still a ways off. I suppose technically it shouldn't need to be pinned if everyone knew to go to Batman's page for his topics.

    I love these milk ads.

    If anyone read comics; you'd know that every 10 pages there's a 'got milk? ad. In the comics I read, there's tons of them. Even on the back cover =P Tomb Raider, pro-skate boarders, Spongebob Squarepants, etc.

    I don't agree with, on Batman movie chronicles the image was taken off and the reason was because WB did not want that getting leaked, in my opnion that is the real deal. Lets not forget that we never expected the joker to look how he looked until we saw it. It was unexpected just like the piture of Two-Face

    Anyone hear that apparently The Scarecrow is getting killed off in this film?

    I hope Rachel gets bumped off. I don't approve of romance!interests; doesn't help that Bruce has enough in the comics, but then directors (even Nolan, whom I love) go and make their own character who knows who Bruce is, etc. Silver would've been cool, as a canon!cameo girlfriend, rather than ANOTHER... original character.

    I just stumbled on a promo website for the new Batman movie 'The Dark Knight'. Its kind of like CNN for Gotham City. The main feature so far is the news 'round table' where they talk about Harvey Dent and the masked figure called 'Batman'.

    Gotham Cable News

    the website is amazingly well done and is also linked with...

    The Gotham Times

    The Gotham Election Board

    Trust Garcetti

    I Believe in Harvy Dent

    and others.... with the amaizngly well done Gotham Tonight...

      




















    Overall i have to say it is one of the best movie websites this year, with the very few websites available for Iron Man, Hulk and others, i have to say that the idea of Dark Knight running websites like this is a brilliant one, and the episode of "Gotham Tonight" was a damn nice teaser for the movie...

    You cant see the side of his face is messed up so we all know thats two face.  Will he be against joker in the movie or work with him. I think scarecrow will be by himself in this movie.

    I agree too, sadly; I think Scarecrow will end up being by himself, or as a 'free lancer'. Which sucks because The Scarecrow/The Joker canon team-up is fantastic; particularly if a chair is involved. (See: Knightfall)
