The Dark Knight Trilogy in 3 Minutes
Here’s How the Chinese Cut of ‘Iron Man 3′ Is Different

Thanks fxguide awesome podcast, I’m with you Mike i also like Batman Trilogy ha ha ha.
Thanks
Thank you ! .. Now if someone could please tell Matt !!! 🙂
I agree with Matt. Batman is all darkness, and no fun/humor at all. And what’s up with that stupid voice?? If Bruce Wayne really wanted to emulate a bat he would make his voice high and squeaky. 🙂
Nice! Allright Geoff! Bring it. Look, the Batman films are good, but they are, in my opinion, not as good comic book movies. The Batman/Bruce Wayne character is far less complex in the Nolan version than in the Tim Burton versions. Burton dealt with the duality and Nolan’s scripts give Bale little to work with as an actor. I think they are all top notch talents, don’t get me wrong, but I question some of the choices made and think they avoided or missed some great opportunities to take the Dark Knight trilogy (which is a solid technical achievement) into a more powerfully grounded narrative/character/social commentary territory.
On the other hand, as I said in the show, I think Iron Man (and most notedly Robert Downey Jr.) lives up to the hype. As an audience, we can “care”, and to some degree, “identify” with the character and his struggles.
When I watch Iron Man, I want to BE Tony Stark.
When I watch Batman, I hope I never have a run in with Bruce Wayne (cause he’s so mental).
Love the chat guys!
I agree with Matt – I never somehow was never made to care much about Batman and the people of Gotham. Iron Man was much more involving. And this despite (or maybe because) I used to know Christian and his folks when he was a kid!
