HUH?!? The names are stated under each pictures if you don't know the names of the actors. All four of the actors you see here are either Academy Award nominees or winners. We all know that the acting will be superb in Batman Begins. Also OMG doesn't Gary Oldman look hella like Jim Gordon from the Year One comics? Thats what I'm f*&%ing talking about right here. The mustache, glasses, face, and hair are all right. Thank god Pat Hingle is gone cause he was fat and he looked NOTHING like Gordon. Plus Pat Hingle hardly play a major role in the last 3 Batman films. As for the other three pictures, I have to say they are all outstanding also. Caine don't look that much like the Alfred in the comics but its pretty good. Neeson looked great and hope it plays Ducard right like in the comics. Last Morgan Freeman looks good as Fox. Fox in the comics has a bow tie and Freeman has one. BUT one thing is missing in Freemans look to be Fox and that is the glasses. But oh well he looks good. Can't wait to see how Ken Wantanabe will look as Ra's Al Ghul later on through the year. Man things are just going great for BB.

I think the guy was actually asking about Ra's Al Ghul and whether the character was still in the film.

 Ra's Al Ghul   > reply 
Posted by mike.roz (yes) on July 13, 2004 10:47 AM

Ra's Al Ghul is still in the film although I could not find a picture of him. It stands for The Demon's Head and is played by ken Wanabe, the guy from The Last Samurai. Will try n find some pics of him for ya'll.

 NOOOOOOOO!!!!!   > reply

It has just been confirmed that Jessica Alba will play the Invisible Woman in the new Fnatastic Four movie now it is truly going to be a terrible terrible movie everyone.

No need to find pictures of Ken Wantanabe since I'm pretty sure everyone heard of the movie "The Last Samurai" with Tom Cruise. Ken is Japanese and "The Last Samurai" was his 1st major american motion picture. Ken wasn't the BEST choice for the role of Ra's because first of all Ra's in the comics was not asian. But the reason I think Warner Bros. and Nolan decided to pick Ken was because he done a outstanding job in Last Samurai, and he kinda looks like Ra's if you picture him with the Ra's facial hair on his face. I was pretty disappointed when I heard this news but months has passed and I've got no complaints nor worries. I have no worries with Ra's Al Ghul in BB because I'm confident that Ken would play him great. Too bad there won't be a larz pit in the movie.

Isn't this suppose to be on the Fantastic Four discussion board? Well anyways since the message has already been posted then I have to say I don't think its that big of a problem. Jessica Alba MIGHT not have blonde hair nor the likely potential to play The Invisible Women but you've got to admit shes pretty hot...lol. Man who am I kidding this is horrible news. The Invisible Woman is suppose to be around her 30's and Alba still looks like a 17 year old so that means she does not qualify for the role. But I don't really care that much since I'm not a FF fan but a dedicated hardcore Batman fan.

Neeson is the Real Ra's.  Ken is actually a decoy character, like Padm`e and queen amidala In star wars.

Hey guess what, some of us haven't read the script because amazingly we don't want the movie spoiled for us, imagine that?

 No Trailer Yet?   > reply 
Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on July 19, 2004 9:13 AM

So, just when are we going to get a look at the trailer? Well, the word now is that it will not be shown with CATWOMAN. It might be shown with the upcoming ALIEN VS. PREDATOR which opens on August 13th, but I wouldn't hold my breath. If I had to guess, I would say that it will show up at the SAN DIEGO COMIC CON next weekend. Remember, there is a BEGINS panel featuring screenwriter David Goyer and actor Cillian Murphy, so there is a good oppertunity there to show it. I guess we'll see next week....

do you think they will have a robin in the next film, and who do you think will play him?

 RE: ROBIN   > reply 
Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on July 23, 2004 3:28 PM

I don't think Robin is going to be in this film as this is going to be the Batman origin story.

 re:re:robin   > reply

this is batman's origin and is supposed to be a dark movie.a dumb kid in red,yellow and green will ruin that.think chris o'donnell.

As explicated in 'Batman Forever,' Robin came into play way later than Batman's origins... Unless somewhere along the comics (and movies for that matter) I missed that they were childhood friends....

 RE: NOOOOOOOO!!!!!   > reply 
Posted by ilovebatman82 (ilovebatman82@hotmail.com) on July 27, 2004 6:54 PM

Jessica Alba.... this sounds like it might be as big of a flop as Catwoman. Coming from a Batman/Catwoman fan... is it me or did they totally screw up Catwoman's storyline.... Why can't they just leave well enough alone sometimes?

 the dark side of batman   > reply 
Posted by Dr.X (Alover67@yahoo.com) on July 30, 2004 3:47 PM

This film is suppose to be the dark version of batman. This movie is the beginning of how he became to be "Batman". It also shows his very first batmobile. There are some rumors say that many are kind of disappointed at this film simply because of his suit and the batmobile looking ugly. People got to realize that this is Batman's first car so they shouldn't get upset. Lets just hope that the story goes well and it will be a great Batman film.

 RE: the dark side of batman   > reply 
Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on July 30, 2004 5:28 PM

The suit looks pretty good to me and from the looks of the trailer I'm starting to get pretty excited. Besides, I've always loved the superhero orgin stories the most.

 pros n' cons   > reply 
Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on August 5, 2004 1:43 PM

i think the casting is great. maybe he's too overused, but i think jeremy irons (or similar) would have been a better ras al ghul. i'm not crazy about the whole tibetan monk thing much,but i guess bruce had to learn fighting and mental skills somewhere. i kinda wanted to see him learning his escape skills and stuff under zatanna's father too, and i was hoping katie holmes was going to be her.
i like the scarecrow being employed at arkham and being a drug user/seller. makes alot of REAL WORLD sense.
overall, i can't wait.

 3rd type of batman but actually the first   > reply 
Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on August 6, 2004 10:23 PM

ive been a fan of batman all my life since i was little.  waiting for another longer time was to see a better batman than "batman and robin" (what a joke they made it look funny)(though good actors for freeze, ivy, robin and batgirl) definetely worst batman ever.  this batman will be better and will actually go back to how Michael Keaton played.  The real batman was serious and terrifying if you've read the right comics.  this new film will finally show us the REAL batman!!! My personal favorite batman was Michael Keaton, though Christian Bale might do as well as he did but will surely do better than Val Kilmer and George Clooney.

 RE: 3rd type of batman but actually the first   > reply

This Batman movie will blow all the others away, including the 1989 original.

cat women isnt the same one as in batman it tells you in the film that there have been many cat women before, the one in batman returnes (sharon stone) is much hotter than halle berry! oh yes we all know this,

 RE: robbin? puffy sidecick   > reply 
Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on August 10, 2004 12:03 PM

i think Dale winton,Elton Jhon,or maybe Cheseney Hawks should play robin! How about wathing the new batman film bofore thinking of the next one....

 RE: cast   > reply 
Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on August 10, 2004 12:14 PM

Christian Bale, finaly a masculine batman who looks like he's not in urgent need of a walking stick, ok val kilmer was youngish but the man was a puff in the film batman and robin...maybe he should have played cat woman in the new cat woman film,i mean he had a flat top in top gun for god sake! Christian Bale seems like he's the perfect millionair come caped crusader.....

 bad guys   > reply 
Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on August 10, 2004 12:27 PM

my only concern is the baddies cast, i like the scare crow but i think with modern day special effects it's time for clayface or maybe king tutt (i would change his character a bit and make him a drug borron pimp with loads of gold played by mr-t) some boddy let me direct the next batman film it would be dark and violent and the bat mobile would be a lot less flimsy,(no wobbling wings hanging off it!!! it could do with a nice jaged spoiler) still think the best baddy due in any batman film ever will always be cat woman and the penguin in batman returns

 RE: bad guys   > reply 
Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on August 12, 2004 6:36 AM

I think that sice Batman is more of a real world hero (i.e, he's basically a normal guy with a few cool gadgets) it makes more sense for him to face real world villains as opposed to fancy CGI ones.

 Batman   > reply 
Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on August 24, 2004 1:13 PM

i think that the Batsuit is great but the pic of him holding The Scarecrow against the wall, the bat suit looks so stiff. I can't wait untill they get the pictures of Scarecrow in the suit

I dont get how they fuck up every batman movie. And from this even in the begining ummm Joker was his first origional villian and Ra's al Ghul not scarecrow.... If anything scarecrow came in after Joker, penguin, catwoman, two-face, egg head, and the riddler...

 Sharon Stone ?!?!?   > reply

i just read something hilarious on this page. Sharon Stone as Catwoman in Batman Returns ? I can't believe no one as commented about that... it was Michelle Pfeiffer, NOT Sharon Stone.....
