    I went and saw it yesterday, and was pleasantly surprised. I usually don't care much for comic-book superhero movies, but this one was pretty darn good.

    I was going to give it a pass, but you guys have convinced me to go see it. I think I'll wait til Tuesday...fewer people at the theater.

    We went and it was great. Is it sacriligeous to say I liked it better than the last Star Wars.

    They plan on making additional movies with the same cast (except a new female lead) featuring a new adversary.

    Gary Oldman--Lieutenant Gordon

    Michael Caine--Alfred the Butler

    Christian Bale--Bruce Wayne

    Next up to bat--the Joker

    There was an article in a British newspaper that quoted a "drunken" Christian Bale as saying that negotiations were underway with Sean Penn to play the Joker.

    Great flick! Joe Bob says check it out!

    Sean Penn would make an awesome Joker. I heard somewhere it was going to be Vince Vaughan.

    Sean Penn's wavy hair fits the Joker's image perfectly. He just needs to mousse it up and Wammo!

    She needs to focus on Scientology.


    I've heard they are re-casting for the sequel. Small loss if you ask me.

    I also loved it.

    I think much of the appeal to some of us comes from our desire to be superheros.

    A guy like a fireman may get an opportunity to challenge his fears or be a "hero" every week or so.

    For myself, and maybe others, the opportunities for noble action are few and far between.

    I don't thik it's so much the potential adrenaline rush I crave as the opportunity to feel I have some value, that I have been of some use, that I made a positive difference.

    I worry that when it matters, I might be a coward.

    Of course he had his anger, but I wonder if Batman had any heros? That might be worth a plotline.
