Batman: The Dark Knight (Summer 2008) [All Threads Merged]
 

I've got two films which I cannot wait for in 2008. This is the first one. It stars Heath Ledger as the Joker, Christian Bale as Batman, and the likes of Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Aaron Eckhart.



The trailer.

Thoughts?

Bump.

Anyone know when this is out? I notice Meredith has a Dark Knight-themed avatar.

And wow, I posted this before he died.

We are the last to get it. It's not out in the UK & Ireland until 25th July. Australia get it on 17th, followed by USA on 18th of July.

Ah right cool, thanks for that.

I think it's June or July. I can't wait for this film, i think it could very well be one of my favourite films of the year since Batman Begins was amazing and the same team made this one too.

I'm looking forward to this (as you can see). :D

It looks pretty good, might go and see it when its out.

I can't wait for this! I loved Batman Begins so this should be good. I heard it's longer than 3 hours though :shocked:

I can't wait to see this! Not been excited about a film since Spiderman 3 and it's out in about 3 weeks!! Woohoo!

Looks like it is done really well, looks dark and mysterious.

It looks really good and I will definelty go and see it even though I didn't find the first one all that great. I'm glad they have introduced the joker into this one aswell it will make it more exciting with a familiar villain rather than that scarecrow freak from the first one. My second most anticipted film of the summer after Mama Mia!

I can't wait to see this either! :bigsmile:

This movie is going to break box office records.

I so want to see this.

Heath Ledger (who plays the Joker), died January 22, 2008 aged 28 after an accidental prescription drug overdose.

Yeah :sad: Apparently there's a tribute to him in the end credits.

I just got back from it.
Amazing. Batman's really come a long way since the crappiness that was Batman & Robin. Christopher Nolan was amazing at directing it!

You're in for a treat, whenever it comes out.

Ahh, I need it now.

When he was casted as the Joker people thought he didn't suit the part and wouldn't do well but he was amazing, I agree with Rory, the movie was amazing. I saw it on IMAX

I can't wait to see it! Is it a really long film?

Its about 3 hours but its worth it

I was going to watch it in IMAX, but the tickets are sold out for about 5 days, so I figured I couldn't wait any longer and decided to go today.

I'm going again tomorrow with more friends :thumbs:

Actually cannot wait for this to come out! Whoo!

Hope its as good as Batman Begins... Does look really good though!

:cheer:

The 24th neeeds to come now.

I actually want to see this film, even though it's more of a mans film lol.

I can't wait to watch Batman, i hear that Heath Ledger is great as the Joker. It is really sad that he died, and I'm pretty sure i will cry watching the film. LOL
