And O'Neill, Miller (first 2), Alan Moore and Grant's takes are my faves as Nolan's movies represents those visions on film.

And the grounded thing is Frank miller's world on film you know and the way gotham is portrayed even like Denny o'Neill's.

Nolan's is based more on Michael Mann's Heat than it is any Batman comic, from what I understand.

(Which to be clear I think is a good thing )

One thing that I've been missing in the batman's film outings thus far is the world's greatest detective aspect. To me that's one of the most interesting aspects of the character. It'd be nice, though I'm not going to hold my breath, to see some of this in Affleck's rendition.

Huh, I quite forgot I even had this pre-ordered. Since I cancelled the TV series set (sob) I guess at least I'll have some Batman winging its way to my door, huzzah.

Let me fix this for you:

Batman Begins: James Bond love letter

The Dark Knight: James Bond crossed with Heat.

The Dark Knight Rises: James Bond crossed with Enter The Dragon & Rocky 3.

I find this funny and illogical, but one thing is for certain, Skyfall ripped off Batman Begins & The Dark Knight, not the other way around.

Do we know how long the new documentary is going to be?

Does anyone have any info on the U.K. version of this? I am interested in the exclusive extras, but I can't find it on Amazon.uk. Thanks in advance.

It's a Zavvi exclusive, and has some unique extras tht the US version doesn't have, but might be missing the "Batman: Birth of the Modern Blockbuster" featureette that the US release lists.

I'm not buying a damn thing until I find out what the deal is with these extras.

Thanks MifuneFan! That explains why I couldn't find it on Amazon. I just preordered it. Thank you for the info and the link.
