Basically, I'm throwing the whole "LOL!!!" at the end of the title cause you can't make out shit with this pic, YET, you see these posters ejaculating over something you can't barely even see.. Hell, at this point, BATMAN/Bruce Wayne could take a dump and a pic be shown of it and everyone will go Ga Ga over this.. I don't know folks, you be the judge but so far, I really wish I could be even 1/2 as excited as everyone else appears to be over this movie and it's just not connecting with me.. Maybe it's because the character of BATMAN is a thing of the 90's and SPIDERMAN is what's in and has proven to be the BEST when it comes to true Comic Adaptations?? Hmmm..

Obviously fake.

Fake?? Hell, I can't even see anything except 2 eyes.. WOW!!! This movie will OWN all of you as AICN and RT posters will tell you.. It would help if I could see what's supposedly goiing to OWN me this summer, but oh well..

A hypothetical for you BKB.

Say Batman Begins outgrosses Hulk. Let's say by a considerable margin, 50-100 million domestic.

Film unseen, what reason will you use to explain the success of Batman Begins?

Internet Fanboys. Of course.

Again, the HULK and BATMAN are apples and oranges considering 1 character has only 1 movie under it's belt while BATMAN BEGINS will be in it's 5th Goddamn Installment Loyal with 2 failed and piss poor movies following behind in memories.. People didn't embrace the HULK cause 95% of the moviegoers who were Baby Boomers seeing this movie thought Lou Ferrigno was gonna be the title character and when they saw that the HULK was one huge Effect, they didn't embrace it and refused to cause Ferrigno is the only one recognized for that character.. Depending on how old you are Loyal and if you were even around when The Incredible HULK aired in the 70's, you'd know what I'm saying and it's true.. Funny how the only folks I see even jizzing in their trousers over this new BATMAN are hardcore comic nerds on the internet and the rest of the world who doesn't surf sites like this doesn't even know about it and chances are, there's gonna be ALOT odf moviegoers still feeling the burn from the last 2 and may not even give this film the time or day.. You and everyone else can deny this all you want, but deep down, you know it's true..

A couple of things

I'm 27. I know, I know, just a babe compared to someone as long in the tooth as you.

I am familiar with the tv show based on the Hulk comic. Funny thing is, outside of you, I've never actually heard anyone mention Lou not being casted as the reason they disliked the film. How did you come up with this theory?

Every person who interviewed Morgan Freeman yesterday on the red carpet asked him about Batman Returns. Same goes for Liam Neeson. Those interviewers didn't quite qualify as internet comic nerds.

Can you answer the question as to if Batman Begins is much more successful than Hulk, what the reasoning will be? You only mentioned the "piss poor" performance of the last two films before going on a rant.

Obviously, if the franchise is as DOA as you say it is, it won't beat Hulk. But again, if it did, I'm curious what your rationale will be.

batman forever opened to 52 million .... and made quite a bit of money .. its performance was not piss poor.

That had to do more with the rising popularity of Jim Carrey than anything else.

ehem ... no

BKB probably also said Spider-Man was only anticipated by internet and comic nerds before it was released.

I already told you why the HULK Failed but you obviously don't want to believe my reasoning regardless if it the truth and it is.. People just weren't expecting a 100% CGI HULK and were expecting a more human approach to it like Ferrigno gave it when he was the character.. Also, I'm sure BATMAN BEGINS will open up at #1 for the weekend given the hardcore fans will come out in droves to see this because there more forgiving then the casual moviegoer who will look at this as just another 5th BATMAN movie in the franchise.. As to whether it continues to dominate after it's 1st weekend will be questionable.. So far though, everything shown with this new Batman suggests to me that only the hardcore comic fans will appreciate this more than the casual moviegoer.. You can only tell BATMAN's origin so many times before it becomes stale and as far as I and everyone else is concerned, Tim Burton's vision in 1989 is IT.. =D>

if i could see the pic i would have something more to say.

bkb 's cross to bear will always be Hulk's 400 million prediction and then trying to explain why it failed :razz:

Hulk was a cure for insomnia, Hulk being 100% CGI had nothing to do with the movies bad wom thats a big joke, people didnt expect some has been who played Hulk back in the 70's to be Hulk in the movie ( except maybe you and a couple other hardcore Lou Ferrigno fans ). It recieved bad wom because the movie was very boring, had a horrible orgin story, and many many plot holes.

Do you mean Star Wars instead when you said internet geeks? I dont ever remember seeing Triumph the Insult Comic Dog visit a premiere of a Batman movie. As far as the Batman franchise being a failure, I only recalled Batman & Robin doing crap while the other 3 Batman set opening records each time. So really how is it that only internet fans care about Batman when the trailers in the movie theaters are getting great reaction and that the movie is being shown on the cover in a few magazines already compared to ahem SWs

No, I meant BATMAN and it's true.. The last 2 movies sucked a tremendous amount of donkey dick and both Val Kilmer and George Clooney did NOT fit the part of Bruce Wayne/Batman and you folks know it so stop fighting me on it.. Hell, even George Clooney jokes about being the one who killed this franchise.. What the fuck does that tell you when an actor who played the title role is up on the gossip and reaction to the films and clearly said it was buried with Batman and Robin??? As for the internet world being the only ones who really care about this?? That's also true because no one I know of who doesn't surf these goofy movie websites even knew another Batman movie was coming out and when told about it, the first thing out of there mouths was quote: "It can't be any worse than the last 2, right??" which doesn't bode very well..

Then obviously you've never read a HULK comic cause Ang Lee's approach was the closest connection and accurate depiction of this character your going to get and not Lou Ferrigno who merely stood in 1 place and flexed his muscles or occasionally lifted up the backend of a car in the TV Show.. The HULK in the movie was YES, Pretty damn good and a shame that the casual moviegoer who never read the comic and only went by the TV show didn't embrace it more cause that's the way the HULK REALLY was... As for all these so called "Plot Holes"??? Enlighten me??? What was so difficult for you to understand that warranted the usual fanboy critique and phrase of "Too many Plotholes" or another Classic one used in the internet world is "The Acting was Wooden"..

The premise of the original Hulk was simple: a wimpy scientist with qualms about making weapons gets caught in the blast radius of a Gamma bomb and turns into the Hulk whenever anger overcomes him. In this film Schamus alienates every Hulk fan with a cliché and convoluted new backstory involving a lunatic father, microbiological "nanomeds", a family tragedy, reptile experiments, and a poorly contrived Gamma radiation lab accident. To make matters worse Banner's Hulk transformation is now caused by "repressed memories," not anger! Ridiculous scenes follow. At first Banner transforms because of a phone message he hears (that triggers a memory). Later Banner gets beaten and tasered by a bad guy, and he won't transform! They have to resort to a crazy underwater psychological experiment to trigger a repressed memory so he can transform.

One hole is Hulk destroys the research lab, but then a day later the evil Dad gets into the now clean, non-destroyed lab and uses it for his own purposes

The Hulk opened to over 60 Million so it's pretty clear that bad WOM killed this movie not the 100% CGI Hulk.

It opened to 60 Million and died because no one had seen what the HULK actually looked like, people outside the internet world that is, that didn't even know a HULK movie was coming out and when they found out, they thought it was Lou Ferrigno as the title character, NOT A CGI CREATION and as a result, they didn't embrace it or anything this character did in the movie like Jumping for Miles, running fast, etc.. That folks is why this movie didn't do well and dropped as fast as it did... 90% of the audience that seen this opening weekend only recognize Lou Ferrigno as the HULK and they wouldn't have it any other way.. The average moviegoer once again as I have to explain this for the umpteenth time, didn't read HULK comics and didn't know this character was able to do the things he did and ONLY recognized Ferrigno as the title character from the TV series.. 90% of the audience that seen this movie opening weekend were fucking Baby Boomers who grew up on that show and they thought they were getting a total recreation of the show, not a comicbook adaptation and a CGI Creation.. That's it in a nutshell, PERIOD..

Looks rubbish if that is him

Yeah well, that's him.. Bottom line on the 5th installment of BATMAN for me is keeping it real and keeping my expectations low, that way, maybe I'll enjoy this more than what I've seen of this movie in terms of Pics.. :wink:

Looks ok to me, if it's him.

Its fake. And even its not its not that bad.
Actually theres no offical pic of the scarecrow yet.
Most likely we will see it in the superbowl spot or even later in the final Trailer.
