Batman Begins Trailer Online
meltoast writes "The trailer for the Batman Begins is available on the Warner Brothers website. Also check out the pictures of the new Batmobile on the same site. All I can say is holy big tires, Batman!" The Batmobile design is reminiscent of the one from Dark Knight Returns, but I think I prefer it over the one Adam West used to cruise around in.
....that it is a 'teaser' not a 'trailer' considering they show absolutely nothing but that 'it's coming' in a year...
I'm a little behind on my batman lore. What's with the monster truck batmobile in the pictures section?
As a rock-in-roll Physicist once said, No matter where you go, there you are.
Apparently the trailer link doesn't work in firefox, here's a direct link to save you the trouble: http://raincloud.warnerbros.com/wbmovies/batmanbeg ins/teaser/teaser_hi_a.mov

Now will this increase the slashdotting, or decrease it?
I belive Gotham City is the comic book version of New York City. In fact NYC used to be called Gotham. On a side note, I believe comic book Metropolis was based on Chicago.
Has anyone else heard about this movie possibly being directed by Darren Aronofski? (Requiem for a dream, Pi) I've heard this from other people, and was just curious to see if anyone else had heard anything similar
Dude.... The sub title here is "News for Nerds. Stuff that matters." You are defiently at the wrong table.
Rubbish site with everything opening in a popup or a _blank.
I saw pictures of the 'new' batmobile about a year ago and it looks like a sporty version of a farmer's tractor.
I've always been severely let down by the Batman movies. Each one seems to claim that it's true to the darkness of the original 'The Batman' story, but they never are.
There's so much potential in a Batman movie as he's the only 'superhero' who actually isn't.
He's merely a vigilante with the cash to develop some seriously cool anti-crime gadgets.
Ah, if only....
Christian Bale is actually a very talented actor who excels in playing very complicated characters with serious internal battles. Just look at American Psycho, Empire of the Sun, and (to a lesser extent) Equilibrium. Bruce Wayne's internal struggle between the man and the bat is one in which every movie tried to grapple with but never really succeeded because the action was always top priority. Christopher Nolan, an expert of the psychological, directing this movie gives it the best chance in succeeding in profiling Batman's psyche.
It wasn't so much Kilmer or Clooney as it was Joel Schumacher.
Christian Bale is not a buffon...first of all.
Check him out in Equilibrium: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0238380/.
Its one of the better sci-fi films in the lines of Matrix and such. I don't think they could've picked a better actor after Keaton. This definitely will put Batman back on track along the comics turned movies like Spiderman and X-men.
I just can't wait till they make Superman!!!!
CowboyNeal is insane. No batmobile can touch the 60's Lincoln Futura Batmobile. Had a supercharged Ford 427, and looked awesome.
:)
Gotta go... Natalie Portman is on Letterman now...
To everyone complaining about how bad Catwoman is, its not the DC character Catwoman! The woman played by Halle Berry is not named Selena Kyle, she does not live in Gotham City, and she has never even met this burce wayne/batman guy. It was just some shitty movie WB made that happened to be called Catwoman, now quit bitching about it.

They filmed some scenes for Batman Begins last week in one of the north suburbs of Chicago -- scenes involving the Batmobile.
Next week, they begin filming more scenes from the movie in my building !
According to the notice we got from the landlord, they're going to do some inside scenes, and some stunts involving helicopters.

The reason DC is involved with it is because the producers got the rights to the "Catwoman" name from them. Apparently, that didn't mean they had to follow the continuity of the character.
I know that on two other occasions, DC gave permission to use names of their characters to other movies. (I can't find an online reference for the second movie, though I remember seeing the acknowledgment in the credits.)

In the pre- Kindom Come mythos, Bruce Wayne and Selena Kyle did have a daughter, Helena Kyle, AKA Huntress. This was the basis for a show on the WB 2 years ago, Birds of Prey. It was pretty good, but they banked on it being a hit like smallville and canned it after only one season.

Looks damn UGLY to me..

I'm really disappointed. I've been waiting and waiting for Batman: Year One directed by Darren Aronofsky (Pi, Requiem for a Dream). If there was anything he'd be able to bring to the film, it would be darkness and originality. Unfortunately the WB didn't like it very much.
See this site for more details.

It's too bad you're boohooing something you haven't seen yet.
Historically, the Batman movies have gone from great to shit...
The first "Batman" movie was excellent. Keaton pulled off Batman and Bruce Wayne believably, although Jack Nicholson stole the show (when does he not steal the show?). The second movie was meh... ok... and "Batman Forever" was stupidly named, Val Kilmer was a poor choice, and Jim Carey made the riddler look like a freakshow, not a twisted plotting villian. We can all thank Joel Schumacher and his egotisitcal directing style (and someone who has never obviously read good comic books) for the POS movie "Batman & Robin". It was a hunk of crap. Wtg Joel... you are a master of shit, and that movie proved it. I am ashamed that in my need to collect DVDs of comic book movies that I must buy your hunk of garbage... Fuck you Joel.
On a lighter note, this trailer for "Batman Begins" looks dark like it should. Christain Bale is fantastic actor (if you haven't, rent American Psycho... sinister movie and brilliant) and he'll pull off the conflicted nature of Batman well.
Remember, don't judge a movie before you watch it... you might just miss a good flick! I for one will wait until it comes out in theatres and judge it for myself.
Sorry this is /. after all. She's 14 as far as I remember. Don't have my copy to hand. And Batman is fifty five in TDKR, not in his sixties.
