It's always going to be tough living up to Ledger's joker. However, I would be perfectly fine if they focus less on the villains and more on Bruce Wayne/Batman and really flesh out his story and conclude it. Bane looks pretty cool so far and Tom Hardy is a good actor so I'm not really worried. Overall, I can't wait to catch this at IMAX. | ||

I hope the opposite, TDK was so good because Joker was almost the main character. I hope TDKR goes further away from the main character and shows as much depth to bane, catwoman and gordan as it does for Batman. But I don't really like superhero films. | ||

I can understand why you wouldn't want it that way seeing how you're not a fan of superheroes or the character of batman, but the majority of viewers care more for him than the villians. It is only right that the story of batman focuses on him. | ||

I thought a big part of his draw was that he did not have any "super" to him. He's not really, just got lumped together with all the others for marketing purposes. | ||

Beside the point, but the reasons Batman took the blame for the deaths at the end of TDK were those provided by the Sal Maroni character. His secret was out - he doesn't kill. By contrast, the Joker was unpredictable, lethal, and merciless. The criminals were more afraid of not aligning themselves with the Joker than they were of Batman. In essence, he lost some of his mystery and the 'power' he held over the city's criminals. He took the blame because in order to keep fighting the good fight, he needed to be seen as a little more Joker and a little less boy scout. You know, I had never thought about this before, it's a really good point that doesn't really get addressed much. Batman will beat the shit out of you, but in a sense if you KNOW that he won't kill you, you're better off his enemy than someone who will (in a crazy town like Gotham) | ||

Batman is for kids, first and foremost, adding in all this dark vibe shit and dialogue about duality and what makes someone a hero doesn't interest kids. The main reason Batman got so enormously popular in the first place was kids could and did enjoy the Adam West version and the films of 1989 through the 90s, and of course the comics, because they were aimed at children. Who buys Batman comics these days? Barely anybody, and those that do sure as hell aren't kids. Are you...being serious? | ||

Just a matter of taste, the Batman movies by Tim Burton you mentioned are pretty pretty "dark vibed" too tho. And they are great. Im glad its going this direction again, because the movies directed by Schumacher are awful. If you enjoy seeing the same thing over and over again, go grab your shark spray and watch Adam West... I think it is rediculous | ||

Here's why. Yeah, it's all speculation, but at the same time, it all really makes sense. | ||

Batman's surge in popularity in the 90s was partial due to moving away from the camp for the dark, e.g., Batman: the Animated Series considered to be one of the greatest cartoon series of all time. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batman:_The_Animated_Series | ||

But I'm older now and I love what Nolan has done with them. | ||
