Has anyone heard anything about the latest Batman installment. It stars Christian Bale (American Psycho), Morgan Freeman, Gary Oldman, Cillian Murphy, Katie Holmes, among others. I know that Cillian Murphy is playing the villain Scarecrow.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I am so seeing this.
It's being directed by Christopher Nolan, who made Memento and the US remake of Insomnia. I saw the latter, and based on that I think he's the guy to bring a dark 'edge' back to the Batman series.

I've been reading off and on about what's going on with "Batman Begins" for a little less than a year now. Mostly just critics reviews/previews and such. I personally can't wait until it comes out, mostly because I heard that they weren't going for a prequel type of story or something and so I'm erally interested to see what they do with it. I'm a big fan of Batman in general. I didn't like the super-dark of the first couple, but I thought this last one ("Batman and Robin", right?) was too colorful and cartoonish for my taste. The one that I liked the best was "Batman Forever" because it wasn't too dark, but it still had those dark elements that make the Batman movies really good.
Definitely going to see it at some point after it comes out.

If you didn't like the darkness of Tim Burtons Batman movies, then you'll hate this. This Batman is supposedly going to be far darker and grittier than even Tim Burton's films.

Are you serious? Bummer... I mean, I like Time Burton's work, definitely, but it didn't seem to have the dark comic book flare I was thinking it would have. Although, I suppose comics are pretty dark and graphic and dirty and everything, especially for children's liesure reading.
Still interested in the movie and in seeing it though...

the first Batman was the best in my opinion. It was dark and gritty like the comics, and it had Batman's most infamous and best villain, the Joker.

The Joker... that was Jack Nickolson, right? Yeah, I think it was... man was he awesome in that role! I think he's great actor all around, but I remember that character of his was really well done.
Who are the villians for Batman Begins? I haven't read anything about it in so many months, so I feel kind of out of the loop on it. I can't even remember if there were any villians in it, so how sad it that?

Hmmm... that should be interesting...not sure if I like that villian or not...
Is he going to team up with any others that you know of? I think it'd be way cool if a couple of the old villians came back for a cameo appearance!! I doubt that'll happen, but one can dream...

I'm really very excited about this! I really like Christian Bale as an actor (his taste is questionable, though), but I feel like he'll do extremely well. The first Batman with Michael Keeton was good, but after that they just went downhill..what goofy pieces of film! It seems like all the glory that has been stripped away by the other films will be restored. Lol...as you can tell, I'm very happy!

Like I said, the film is starting over. This is not related to the other Batman movies. So if they make sequels, they will definitly bring back some of the trademark villains, but they will have new origins and new actors playing them.
Ra's Ah Ghul is also in the film, and he is trademark villain of Batman. He's definitly got some evil stuff planned, but he's not the primary villain in this film. He's a rather complex character/villain so they will probably spend a lot of this film setting his character up for a sequel.

I've read a lot about this film at batman-on-film.com which actually has all your batman movie needs...LOL and no I'm not the owner of we website either. I think the movie is going to be a great film. I've heard that you won't even see Batman until about 45 minutes into the film...don't know if that's true or not, but I think this film is not going for the cartoon aspect, instead I think it's going for a more realistic retelling of the comic.

Interesting... once again all I can really say is that I'm definitely going to see it when it comes out.
I know it wouldn't have the other villians because it's a beginning of the story, but it'd be cool if you saw some the characters that become villians later on in the Batman saga in this movie. Kind of like they did with Dr. Hank McCoy in X-Men 2... I like it when the movie people throw in little things like that...
