This is a great clip. Shows Keaton's Batman concurrently with Bale's Batman

cool!

i love christian bale and he rocks it as batman.

i'm really looking forward to seeing heath ledger as the joker.

so sad.

Oh really?

I really really dislike Bale as Batman...

He's just too smug to be Bruce Wayne, and he can't carry off the 'poor hurting child' thing off

i disagree, i think he's brilliant.

but, i still like you, dek.

*phew*

Thanks

Did they get a Heath-double to finish the movie? or did they re-write the script so that he didn't have any more to shoot? Because he was only halfway through when it happened.

*shrug*

I ain't got no idea

I thought they'd finished filming and gone to post-production.

yeah, they had finished filming batman.

he was filming the The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, when he died.

ohhhh

What's better than one Batman? THREE Batmans!

Watch closely now....

that was hilarious!

but, was that 3 batman's or 4?

I thought it was 3?

i thought i saw bale in the beginning after keaton, but i guess that doesn't really make sense.

who attacks keaton? is it kilmer? i just watched it again and it really sounds like christian bale.

I thought it had Keaton, Bale and Clooney.

It does get confusing doesn't it?

i definitely saw keaton, clooney and kilmer.................and i think bale was in it, too.

huh.

now i'm all hot and bothered, i guess i'll be dreaming of batman tonight.

Oh yes! Kilmer was in it too! I completely forgot!

hahahahaha I  dream of Batman quite frequently actually.... Love the ones where I get to drive the Batmobile!

while i would love to drive the batmobile and i would definitely love to get my hands on the bat-utility belt, i would rather play with batman in the batcave..............if you know what i mean.

*covers her ears*

You're a corrupting influence bluegirl

And yes, I certainly know what you mean

me.............corrupting?

mmm hmmm....

because i like hot, sexy superhero types..........who are a little bit flawed?

and maybe you are forgetting that i have been out of action for a long time.

LOL!

sure laugh at the lady who has to resort to fantasizing about superheroes.

although, that's probably better than anything i'm gonna find out there.

You know what? You're probably right...

Superheroes FTW!

ye-ah!

I'm going to watch Batman tonight!!!

dek is thrilled. dek also doesn't know how she'll survive from now till when it starts

i will actually get to see it this week......so i'm not too jealous.

heheheheeh

*phew*

Watch out for droppings!

???

bat droppings, ie, shit....

i sort of got it .......but that doesn't really make sense to me......

sort of silly.....

especially for you, bond.

Aren't I allowed to be silly now and then, moneypenny??

of course......

Ok then....

It was good!

I'm glad they've started making proper Batman movies, with a good script and plot n all.

But some of the changes they've made to the world of Gotham I don't like. Where are all my cool retro cars?!

But I'm also still in love with Batman, so all is good in dek's world

I saw it a week after it came out, and I loved it.... I had to contain myself for those who hadn't seen it yet!

Not looking forward to the next in the catwoman saga though... I never really liked it that much...

Is it finalised? I thought they were still debating who would play the part.

And yeah, gimme more Batman! Who cares abt Catwoman.... really?

i'm going to see it tomorrow! (or possibly the next day)

i'm very excited........batman and christian bale.......mmmmmm

LOL!

I keep hearing from the ladies that they think Bale is the best Batman thus far.

I think none of them can beat the cartoon Batman.

They should just give up on a human Batman and animate the rest of the movies.

dek.......you do know about this thing i have for animated guys.......don't you?

actually, i'm not sure if it's ever come up on tangler.......but i have had several crushes on animated characters in my lifetime......

OMD! You're my soul mate!!!

My first serious cartoon crush was He-man, and then Wheeler from Captain Planet!

omg......dek....i had a huge crush on he-man............he might not have been my first, but he was my first big one.

okay okay keep it clean ladies

HAHAHAHAHA

Jealous Simon?

you've been watching us too much......i think......

you know us too well......

As I was explaining to Pierre here in the office, I'm crazy over Batman cos he's my childhood love, and there's nothing I can do about it

i do know what you mean, dek.

It's like your first real love, or first car.... everlasting

Yes?

absolutely.......the feelings just never quite go away.....

Yeah....

Now hands off my Batman!!

hehehehehe

that's the beauty of animated men..............it's much easier to share.......

No!

jealous? you mean did i ever want a big 'sword' to get me out of trouble and invoke the words 'by the power of greyskull' - innuendo all over the place. When i was a whipper snapper i used to have a certain liking for that girl character in Battle of the Planets. But i soon moveed on when i found a copy of Playboy - have you seen those cartoons in that magazine!?!

i used to love playboy cartoons.

dek......you really don't have a choice.......i'm not going to give him up either........better to play nice.

He's mine!! All mine!!

I'll let you have Bruce Wayne....

Simon - don't tell me you've never pretended to pull a sword out while invoking those words....

sorry, dek.......it's not gonna happen.

i had batman sheets when i was a kid.

The only special one I had was a muppets one, with Miss Piggy and Kermit. My mother thought I liked them. Except my fav was Gonzo!

i also had some cool star wars sheets.........i still have the pillow case.......(though i think it's still with the ex, until i go get the rest of my stuff)

I'm now feeling like I missed out in my childhood

This weekend, I'm gonna go buy myself some Batman stuff!

sucker.

Jealous, jealousy

hah!

Oh oh, and for the longest time, I used to say that the Tazmanian Devil was my boyfriend

nice.

Still have him on my keychain too.

dek is loyal

and yes i may have pretended to pull out a sword and yell words to that effect.

Tassie Devil? now that is strange. And as a cross topic - when i was a kid i cried when Buggs pretended to be dead when Elmer shot him and there was a retrospective by Elmer wishing he hadn't shot him. That scarred me for life. I'll never trust a dead rabbit again

HAHAHAHAHA

you know......who, in their right mind, (and of the right age) didn't pull out a sword and yell "by the power of greyskull"?

Ok, i'll y'all in on a secret.

I tend to gravitate towards the crazies, the misfits. Freakazoid, Gonzo, Tigger, Goofy, Batman - them I love.

I tend to hate the goody two shoes. Mickey Mouse, Bugs - ewwwww

no?.......really?......i'm so surprised.......

you know......who, in their right mind, (and of the right age) didn't pull out a sword and yell "by the power of greyskull"?

You had to put age in.... I did it just months ago!

bluegirl - LOL! That obvious eh?

i didn't mean that we don't do it as adults......i meant the right age to have been attracted to it in the first place.

Ahhhh.... *PHEW*

and.....um......yeah, dek.

and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it.

So we say....

someone's gotta say it.......

talking about the muppets - it was only a few years ago that i got that Floyd the saxophinist in the band was pink - i'm hoping it was intentional and not one of those "the answer is 5, now what is the question?"

i would think that it was intentional........

i just looked it up.....it was intentional.....and his last name is pepper.....a beatles reference.....

floyd pepper

it's at the bottom of the muppet show section.

OOOOOoooo

the muppets were amazing - such a shame that kids don't get those type of things any more (at least i'm not aware of them if they're out there). Same goes for sesame street - it seems a little different to my understanding - does anyone remember when Mr Snuffleufugus could only be seen by Big Bird?

of course......

my daughter, who is 3 and 3/4 (as she is always reminding me), has seen some old school muppet movies and sesame street.............she liked them a lot......i love watching sesame street with her......even with all the new things, they still have a lot of the old things, too.

they also have a new show called 'play with me, sesame'. it's geared towards being active....but they show lots of old skits on the show.......it brings back memories.

Wait a min... they killed the Snuffleoesophagus mystery?! Dammit

I blame it on Elmo

I don't like play with me sesame at all.... I guess I'm just a traditionalist

but........ they play songs and skits that i haven't heard or seen since i was a kid................and that's a long time ago!

omg! look what i just found (dek probably already knows about it):

johnny depp.............the riddler?

Finally casting that I can approve of

i agree.....wholeheartedly.

i saw it this evening..........my crushes on batman and christian bale are not only intact.....but could possibly be stronger.

there were several really good performances ......it was a good movie....i liked it a lot.

I hear you about the infatuation getting stronger.... I've started referring to the dekmobile all the time again

Yeah, it was really well done.

I kinda didn't get why they did what they did with the Joker though. Good performance by Ledger, but the Joker is supposed to be fun! In his own words - Why so serious?!

i knew that they were making him darker.......he was excellent....

**spoiler**

i'm really glad they killed off rachel dawes......i didn't like the character or either of the actresses who played her.

and the way it ended.......the next one should be great.

Well, they had to... that's how Harvey becomes Harney Two-face!

And that's another thing I'm glad about. They're back to following the original stories

Oh, and I do like Maggie Gyllenhaal, and I think she was way better than Holmes, who I thought ruined the first one

i didn't realize that two-face was in this movie.......until i heard the name harvey dent......i was just waiting for it...

aaron ekhart was really good.

maggie might have been better than katie holmes...........but i still didn't like her one bit.

Yeah! I was sceptical when I first saw him at the beginning, but he did well.

Happy with the casting for that

Oh!
