Batman Begins Trailer Online

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the year-one-of-the-bat dept.

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.

  1. Chock full of Real Name Brand Actors by mrycar · · Score: 5, Interesting

    At least it appears to have real Actors in the Cast. Can never be disappointed by Morgon Freeman, Michael Caine, Liam Neeson, or Gary Oldman.

    Looks interesting and at least worthwhile to watch.

  2. Return to Dark by cranos · · Score: 5, Interesting

    At least from what little I could see on the trailer they are returning the movies back to the Dark Crusader model.

    The first two movies with Micheal Keaton were pretty good, but Val Kilmer and George Clooney pretty much killed off any interest I had in the movie franchise.

  3. How to make the new batmobile by British · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Mix equal parts:

    F-1 race car

    Military troop carrier

    I think it's a neat variation. It's better than the all-too-flashy neon light decorated batmobile in the last movie. That seemed more like a showcar than a "fight the bad guys" vehicle. The Batmobile from the first movie was a well-done machine.

    I don't see the justification in jet engines though for the previous vehicles. But with all the torque you would need on the big tires on the new one, perhaps the engine is justified.

    Fan movie with a pretty nice story twist. Also, the Joker has never been better on film. ;-)

  5. You think that Batmobile by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Interesting
    is cool? Check this out.

    Nothing says cool like a Batmobile designed by Giger!

    p.s. I would have loved to see him design a Batman costume.

    it is a 'teaser' not a 'trailer' considering they show absolutely nothing but
    Not necessarily absolutely nothing though. The very first thing I thought while watching it was that there was no legacy whatsoever from the world Tim Burton created in the previous series. ABSOLUTELY no more Joel Schumacher's so ambiguously gay theme either. Obviously Warner is reinventing the series, which is good. The film appears so British!!

    Director: Christopher Nolan
    Actors: Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Liam Neeson
    Location? ... hmm

    It's obviously more pessimistic and darker than the previous series. I was becoming sick lately of optimistic live-action adaptations of Marvel comics. I can't wait for this one.

  7. Re:Gotham city by Mark+Steyn · · Score: 5, Interesting

    It's far from canonical, but Frank Millar is reported to have once said that Metropolis is New York by day, and Gotham is New York by night.
