So I guess I'm the cool one for not having seen any of them? I did see parts of the first one but... I never got any interest to watch it from beginning to end.

The Dark Knight is okay, and I only say that because Ledger's Joker is a really good performance.
Not a fan of the glasgow smile that other artists have been trying (And failing) to integrate, but it's alright.
But TDK is too damn long for it's own good...

Yeah... this needs to be done. The trailer does so much justice.

Hmm I'm not too hopeful for this film so far the best "dark tokusatsu story" I've seen was skull man and ignoring the fact its animated, it was much more of a mystery and was unrelated re-imagining.

With this being a continuation it feels weird for it not to have a similar tone, for me something like this should try and capture the sense of awe a child would feel watching power rangers and make it grow to match the older audience. I'm not sure how well i'm describing it but a great example of this is in super robot anime like gaogaigar or Mazinkaiser. Both of these capture the themes and experience of 70's robot anime where the concept of fighting the monster of the week was the same but do it on a larger scale and with a more fleshed out story.

banes mask wasnt the problem, it was his damn voice that could barely be understood in theaters. although supposedly it pumps morphine out but from where? not a single hose or IV is connected to.it..

It's supposed to have it inside the mask itself.

Also, I understood him fine, but I remember people saying it differed from theatre to theatre. I think depending on how loud it was.

yeah i get its suppose to be in the mask? but where? how long does it last before her has to refill it. my theater experience was horrble with his voice but hes just fine on dvd.

The behind the scenes stuff going on with this doesn't really shock me all that much. Something about the entire look of this thing is just off to me. I am not a fan of the suit designs in the slightest. It actually irritates me quite a bit when the main aspect of re-imagining a super hero costume, is to make all the colors darker.
