Someone on another board mentioned that a special feature on the DVD said the same thing. However, I've also seen it mentioned that Bale uses the Batman voice out of costume a few times in TDK (I didn't notice it myself) so perhaps the filmmakers have moved away from that explanation...

Thanks for the information on the score guys. I can't say I agree about it feeling overwhelmingly like it came from Zimmer. Both films' scores are relatively unique in that I don't think I would be able to guess who scored them without knowing in advance (something I can't say about most Zimmer...

Anyone know the how or why Zimmer and Howard teamed up in the first place? Both are such AAA level composers that such a collaboration seems unusual, though I'm not complaining since I love the score for both films.

I think the added danger to Batman's image can definitely help him, but I'm not convinced that it's something Batman actually wants (especially with part of it being "cop killer") nor something he actually considered in the heat of the moment.

Clearly a lie. Joker is obviously a helluva planner. You can't trust a single thing he says (hence the multiple stories on how he got his scars).

This is more of a discussion for the box office thread, but as great as it is to get $200 million, I gotta think there are some folks at Disney and Pixar pretty disappointed with that gross. A lot of people seemed to think Wall-E stood a really good chance at making a run for top grossing Pixar...

It may not be realistic, but I like it because it represents exactly why Wayne decided to become Batman in the Begins: quote="Bruce Wayne"]People need dramatic examples to shake them out of apathy and I can't do that as Bruce Wayne, as a man I'm flesh and blood I can be ignored I can be...

It seemed like this film purposely removed some of the mystique that Begins tried to give the character. He spends more time "in the light" and it's rather jarring and almost absurd to see him just hanging out in a well-lit interrogation cell. Even the opening fight in the parking garage, the...

Yeah, I definitely wouldn't want to remove any of the location work but a little bit more integration in some of those skylines would have helped the connection for me. And maybe make the bar that Gordon arrests Maroni in be the same bar that Wayne visited Falcone in. As is, I'm thinking that...

If there was one thing I prefer in Begins, it's the conception of Gotham. I loved the way that Nolan combined Chicago exteriors, CG altered skylines, and extensive stagework. It made Gotham feel very unique. In TDK it was too close to Chicago. The more extensive on location work was great, but I...

Very well said, Mike. For all of the pre-release attention on The Joker, TDK was very much about the rise and fall of Harvey Dent and the film would have been dramatically weakened if any part of that arc had been removed or shoved off to a third film. Dent really is the focal point that...
