The Dark Knight, then Batman Begins

Everyone from my country probably saw The Dark Knight before Batman Begins, because I don't think BB showed in theaters here and there were no promotions, no nothing. Nobody (with the small exception of hardcore Batman-fans) knew the movie even existed. And I was the same, as it was actually a few m...

How long was he training, and how long was he travelling?

It didn't state it outright in the novalization, but it did hint that Bruce spent at least five seasons (two winters) with the League of Shadows. So I think it would be something like five years of travelling, a few months in prison, another few months in another prison, and over a year of training....

I love this film

Well, I may be alone here but... Batman Begins will always be my favorite simply because of the story. Damned excellent screenplay and photography. No longer a comic book, to me Bale defined Batman. And one very amazing soundtrack. I will never grow tired of this film - thanks Mr. N. You're not alo...

The Nolan Fans Awesome Scale: Batman Begins

90% for this because one have to count the few flaws, but Begins is actually my favorite Nolan film even though I would give TDK and Inception 100%.

Batman Begins-Nolan's most emotional film?

Batman Begins is the only Nolan film that actually made me cried, and TWICE! The first time was when Bruce was gazing over the bay and then throwing the gun into the water; the second time was when Bruce and Alfred landed in the Cave as they watch Wayne Manor burn. So yeah, for me this film definite...

Re: Women

For the most part, they were still created and shaped by Nolan and/or his brother Jonah (depending on which film we're talking about). He could have easily expanded Rachel Dawes's role in the Batman franchise, etc. To say they exist and that he has no choice in their arcs, etc is tad naive. I think...

Do you think TDKR will be Nolan's best film?

"Extremely Difficult but I Want to See It Done" The high marks of mind-blowing/excitement in Nolan's films are TDK and Inception; the high marks of mind-twisting/story telling in his films are Memento and The Prestige. (There's a reason it's very hard to rank his films.) TDKR would definitely be ama...

I Hope that the Superhero Genre Dies after TDKR.

I don't think the superhero genre should die, but I do agree they make less. One or two a year would be sufficient as long as they keep up the quality, and I'm not saying IM or BB/TDK level of quality but something like SM1 or X1. I am, however, against making all future superhero movies adult-orien...

The Dark Knight Rises vs The Amazing Spiderman?

I'm an oversea, not-comic-book-reader, average movie-jane. I don't like watching more than one or two superhero movies a year because I'm more interested in movies of other genres (that's why I enjoy watching Nolan's Batman). But I'm definitely going to see TDKR. As for TAS? I'm not sure. I'm curren...
