Kinda looks like a John-Deere variant.

Wonder if the new Batman costume has a mullet?

He was "Jim" in "Empire of The Sun"?  Wow.  I like this movie already.

edit: Ken Watanabe is one of the bad guys. :eek:  Michael Caine as Alfred, Morgan Freeman, Liam Neeson, Gary Oldman ... even Katie Holmes has a respectable acting resume'.  This time around it looks like the producers are breaking out all the stops.  They're bring all the heavy hitters up to bat.  I might actually have to make an effort to see this "Batman" film after skipping George Clooney's mistake.

Actually, I read on a surf forum that there were plans at one time to do a movie about King Kamehameha of Hawaii and Rock was going to be cast in the title role.  Now THAT is something I'd spend $6 to go see. Hawaiian warriors didn't mess around.  That plus they surfed on coconut-oil soaked planks the size of a banquet table, so you know those guys were hard-core.  I think its a role Rock was born to play.

That would be good casting, gofaster.  I hope it proceeds at some point. Hawaiian history is some interesing stuff.

I hope the new Batman movie is a good as the first, and not ****ty like the last.

I actualy liked the Rundown and think the Rock is OK lol.

I just do not think he is "batman"  

Never been a huge batman fan though. Clooney was the WORST!

Just wanted to mention that the soundtrack to "Batman Forever" is one of the best compilation CDs I own.  I wouldn't have it except that it was given to me by a German friend as a parting gift before he went back overseas.  Let me tell ya, that's a pretty cool CD.

"Sneakin' round the side not a problem? That's no problem. Mistah Riddlahhh...."

edit: you know, I think "Batman Forever" is the film where the Batman series might have "jumped the shark".  Having two bad guys really didn't work too well.  If it had been only Jim Carey, it would've played much better.  The Riddler is too complex a character to share time with Two-Face.  I respect Tommy Lee Jones as an actor, but he really didn't do much here.  Carey, whom I don't particularly care for, did a much better job with his character.  What made the previous "Batman Returns" tolerable was the good-bad-good-bad flipflop character of Catwoman who sort of filled the seam between Batman and Penguin.  And she gave it a good jolt of sensuality that Nicole Kidman (whom I respect as an actress) didn't really have a chance to bring to the "Batman Forever" film.  Hopefully the makers realize the error of their ways and get back to what worked in the first two films: adult drama set in a make-believe world.

Speaking of casting, I think it was a mortal sin to make another Punisher movie and not cast Henry Rollins in the title role.

They made a Punisher film?  Has it been released? Was/Is it any good?  And who is Henry Rollins?
