Anyone see the new movie yet?

I wasn't at all interested, but the reviews have been so good, I'm actually considering a visit to a real theater rather than waiting for DVD.

Gotta love the big screen and surround sound, ya know?  Especially something as cool as Batman

Havent heard much bad about it.  Just glad to see its back minus that Tim Burton freak who killed the series last time

Couldn't disagree more. Burton made the best of the Batman movies. IIRC, he did the first two. Joel Schumacher was the one that screwed them up after that.

You and I disagree?  Say it aint so!  LOL

I hated the second one.  Batman peeling off his mask, all weepy and crap.  Sigh

And the others weren't much better either.  I'll give you that.

Still love the first one the best, with Nicholson

Best batmobile, too  :aok

Yeah, what Sandy said.  I don't care much for most of Tim Burton's stuff, but his Batmans were good stuff, or at least good enough to keep me entertained.  I'll prolly check this one out in the theater, but I'm not all that hopeful.

I liked it better than any of the others,including the first with Nicholson,which means little,lol.

I like the original batman. Not the movies, but the 60's (?) series.  Nice and original.  the new batcar looks like some military attack vehicle from Dune and a Humbee had sex and thats what came out

The movie is incredible.  Go see it.  

I haven't had that big a grin on my face after a movie in a long time.  I hated the other Batman movies, but this one more than redeems the character.  

If you'll excuse me, I'm going to go put on a cape and a mask and run around in the dark.

From the trailer it looks to be great. I might actually part with the cash and go see it.

Tim Burton did a decent job. As for the Schumacher films, they were geared towards the 10 and under crowd... I hope.

You should wear a cape while you're on the job!

wearing a mask (or a least a bag) at work could be novel.

Movie ROCKED!  Had a grin plastered on my face for most of the movie.  I wasnt so happy that they "updated" the batmobile.  But at least it was realistic.  This is more what Batman should be.
