the INTL. trailer is excellent. It provides more prolonged scenes, which I've really been wanting to see! This is the trailer we should have in the US!

Excellent trailer! I especially like the shot of The Scarecrow (with maggots on his mask) throwing his fear dust

There's only 1 and 1/2 hours left until the new interview with Christian Bale on FOX, and I can 100% confirm this. If y'all can't catch it, then would you like me to post a transcript or something?

The intl. trailer was awesome. IMO the best scene was a glimpse of him putting on his mask and fighting some goons. the fight scene showed us what to expect in the martial arts deptartment.

I wouldn't mind him as harvey dent at all. IF he can make the character seem real and does a good job is yet to be decided.
The new tv spot rocks!!!

well i checked batman on film.com and they have another rumor this time its for the Joker. they are reporting that Crispin Glover is now been thrown in the mix of portraying the Clown Prince of Crime. hopefully he does get the part because he's perfect to portray the Joker.

I've been saying he'd make a fantastic joker ever since I saw the movie WILLARD. I really think he'd make a perfect joker.

Crispin Glover would make a perfect Joker. Liev Schreiber would make a perfect Harvey Dent/Two face...the question remains...will WB get the hint? And in what order will they appear? Joker in second film and 2face in 3rd? or the other way around? If two face was the villian in the second one it would be fitting to his trademark of the number 2 but i hope they just introduce him in the second one and explore his, gordon, and bats relationship, then he goes all 2face for the third. that would be friggin' awesome! Can't wait until they happen.

As Robin reported: And something I found about the DVD release of the documentary that aired last year about the 1960s tv series: [shadow=purple,left,300] Although it isn't necessarily a Batman movie, "Return to the Batcave," the CBS docucomedy about the mishaps during the 1966 series, hits DVD on May 17. Here's a quick review from M & C DVD.[/shadow] WHAM! BAM! KAPOW! To any kid since the ‘60’s those explosive words bring one thing to mind – the 1966 television Batman series. Anchor Bay Entertainment is bringing back those bat memories and the “true” stories behind the hit series in the DVD release of Return to the Batcave – The Misadventures of Adam and Burt The show starred Adam West as Batman and Burt Ward as Robin, and grew into a pop culture icon thanks to the series’ campy humor and look at the comic character. It was also known for the huge cast of A-list actors, such as Vincent Price as Egghead and Cesar Romero as the Joker, who did cameos as villains. Another star of the television series wasn’t an actor, but the car known simply as the Batmobile. Every episode it was seen every episode blazing through the streets of Gotham. Return to the Batcave is mockumentary look at the chaos that happened behind the scenes and is almost as much fun as the original series. The movie marks the return West and Ward, who now play themselves, as they stumble from clue to clue in an attempt to recover the stolen Batmobile. Along the way, they have flashbacks to their wild days as Batman and Robin and stumble upon some old villains from the show – including Julie Newmar, Frank Gorshin and Lee Meriwether. In the flashback scenes, Jack Brewer plays Batman/Adam West and Jason Marsden plays Robin/Burt Ward. Although watching West and Ward ham it up for the cameras again, including a bar fight that has all the great action words we loved from the show is great, the really interesting parts of the movie are the flashbacks where we are treated to a peek at how the actors tried to handle the massive phenomenon that shot the to stardom. We are also able to see how the two men took advantage their popularity and let their egos get the best of them that lead to family problems and huge feuds on the set. Main Menu screen The flashbacks are also loaded with humor as we witness the horrors Ward had to endure to play Robin – including rashes from the suit and being burned from the Batmobile’s afterburner. They also do a great job of keeping Brewer’s West/Batman funny by making everything that he touched turn to gold. Other flashback treats for fans of the show include the screen tests and auditions that Ward and West did to get the parts, some of the on-set stunts and explosions, and the fan-hysteria that the actors and their family had to deal with whenever they were in public. Although the movie could have took a closer and more serious look at the show and the iconic status it has received, it just seems more enjoyable having all the camp and humor that made the series as popular as it still is today. The story with West and Ward allows us to see the two heroes deliver their lines with the straight faces and seriousness that they possessed as the Cape Crusaders. The flashback scenes give a good look at what was happening behind the cameras, but also keeps the movie’s light comedy feel. The flashbacks are almost as funny as when West and Ward are on the screen. The only special feature on the DVD is the original screenplay that is accessed through DVD Rom. It would have been nice to have some extra features such as cast interviews, deleted scenes or even some artwork from the show. West and Ward ham it up once again. Return to the Batcave is a fun movie for any fan of the series or any fan of classic television. It handles its subject with the same humor that made the series a hit and is as much fun as watching the reruns of Batman - that can almost always be found on some channel at some point of the day. As a huge fan of the show, I would recommend it just for the memories it brings back, but also because it is a lot of fun to watch. The movie is available on May 17 and can be pre-ordered at Amazon. It will be available in the UK on June 6 and can be pre-ordered at AmazonUK. Visit the film’s database for more information.

www.batman-on-film.com/b5news.htmlTuesday June 14th. 9/8c. Sci-fi inside: Batman Begins Be sure to check it out. With hosts Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Katie Holmes, Morgan Freeman, and Christopher Nolan. Hell-a fun to be had. ALSO: The junior novelization of BB is out. I picked it up at Wal Mart. It was a quick read and enjoyable. I've already read the script so it didn't spoil anything for me. The book itself is 157 pages. + around six photo pages. No real new images.

[shadow=purple,left,300] Fulha Online Ilustrada (posted on comics2film.com for anyone who wants a brief English summary) has reported that new promos for "Batman Begins" feature a slew of bats taking over some famous landmarks across Europe.
I wonder if any American landmarks will get the same treatment?[/shadow]

[shadow=purple,left,300]I wonder if any American landmarks will get the same treatment?[/shadow] Here in OZ the Begins Billboards in each City have their own Skyline with Bats flying around.It's very cool and i'm impressed with the effort WB has gone to individualising their Promos.

Thanks for posting that spot! I get the feeling Michael Caine is going to steal the show, big time.
