For one edward, i may have said that people are entitled to their own opinions, but i disregard and refute fanboyish comments and opinions.
err marcus if u searched youtube. you'd be able to see some trailer. but its only common sense to know after the batman begin that the lighting will play a very heavy role in the movie. and batman has always been based on darkness. so its only sensible to think that way. so its not biased or unsound comments.
Apparantly It IS a biased comment, just look at the ridiculous and unsupported assumption that "Batman will OWN(you said it out loud) iron man or any movie for that matter simply due to its lightning".
Again i don't see how ANYONE can dispute a film has better lightning by merely watching a few minute(s) of trailer, that ALONE is an
extremely biased opinion let alone not seeing the movie and jumping to conclusions.
why i'd say twoface is because, this is a brand new twoface, i didnt say he was the greatest villians. but the fact is that, this one actually shows the why and how harvey dent became twoface. so please dont jump to conclusion without understanding much about the movie. i know its not out yet. but this is what i've collected so far. and its enough to even make be delirious.
Your original implication that batman > iron man or any movie for that matter was simply because (well one of the reasons anyways) you think twoface is inside the movie is going to be such a great deal, i was simply using your own logic again you, if a villian like two face is going to "wow the audience", then i guess this automatically makes star wars and hannibal a FAR greater movie simply because they had far more evil villains.
and sorry based on my perception or perspective the only reason why darth vader was the greatest villians is because he had a 'ultra cool' catch phrase...a la 'im ur father'.
LMFAOROFLCOPTER!!! You think darth vader became
one of the most recognized and greatest villian of all time simply by mentioning one line? Seriously edward are you just desperate to just win a debate here?
Where the are you getting all these unsupported and extremely biased comments from?
I guess you never watched ANY of the original star wars films and find out the whole reason
why darth vader is such a great villian and because you have failed to do that, you have come out with petty and stupid assumptions "Oh darth vader is great simply because of one "catchy" phrase" let alone become such a famous and recognized villain that they made THREE movies to show how this man became darth vader.
Please do you think one single phrase would beat out
400 potential villains? I can even name a villain which rivals darth vader and surpasses hannibal.
Hell even one of the most reliable
critic sites which is
extremely reliable and based on the opinion of the majority and community says you are

enterthevirus.blogspot.com/2007/04/number-one-villain.htmlif u look deeper and into darker movies which i doubt u have. u'd realized clockwork orange has one of the best villian in it played by malcolm mcdowell (mr linderman from heroes). i think many critic would rise their hands on that as well.
Stop being hypocritical and tell me to watch "darker movies" when you yourself have yet to even watch
the empire strikes back(which by the way until today is STILL one of the darkest films ever made) which is hinted by the fact that you utterly failed to understand
why darth vader is such a recognized and badass villain.
The website i listed which is VERY prestiges and VERY reliable states vader is number 1.
Get over it and accept it.
there is also the ever infamous hannibal lecter played by the as manical sir anthony hopkins...come on he would own darth vader any day.
Quantify and substantiate how he would "Own darth vader" in ANY aspect when
1)Vader is a more badass villain(according to the overall opinion and official critics)
2)A more recognizable icon in the world
3)A villain whom is relentless and would stop at nothing
4) When hannibal is merely
second to darth vader
And please, don't even get me started on how vader would
destroy hannibal or your precious batman in a fight.
and oh yes...christian bale was a fantastic villian in american psycho. if u'd bothered to watch too?
I don't, it wouldn't matter, official sources(and countless fans and non fans) states vader > christian bales character
so before u follow the blind media please look around and make ur own judgements. tell me u believe every little rubbish they print?
LOL hypocrite?
i think many critic would rise their hands on that as well. Dammmmm!
How exactly is the media "blind" in this aspect when its based of the
society and community?
And how exactly did i "believe" every "rubbish" they type in when in the first place this was based of my judgment? When they very fact that countless sites and magazines(empire magazines) support my point of view?
the reason why i list the list i listed is because there are things everyone should look out for and enticipate the coming of the knight. as a movie critic as a batman fanboy i'd say this one is going to be nice. because ironman was just straight up superhero save the day ish...batman is an anti hero vigilante. nothing like ironman..thats why i'd say it surpasses ironman at least in the matured books.
They keyword
in the mature books, i already made it clear that iron man was a action packed fun oritented movie, so it is painfully obvious that it surpasses batman in that aspect.
Oh and save the day-ish? From what? From whom? to save whom? If you paid closer attention it was not anything about "saving the day" or world, it was about tony, it was about his suit and how his other colleague wanted to sabotage and get rid of him. I am not going to elaborate further.
If saving an afgan boy and some innocent people counts as "save the day-ish", wouldn't it make batman equally the same as batman begins itself had some of those moments?
talking about great actors, heath ledger was a great, christian bale is a great, maggie gyllenhall is a great, michael caine is a great, the list continues with aaron eckhart, gary oldman, morgan freeman...this people are not ur half past but greats. they will play great impressions. as michael caine mentioned in one interview, he said heath ledger totally frightened him in one scene when the joker meets alfred at the wayne manor.
Oh please and this is suppose to mean what? Other movies like sharktale had their own fairshare of great actors rivaling that of batman yet the movie wasn't epic or "uber powerful" where it surpasses everymovie.
Quit with those fanboyish comments.
so please if u'd love to read so much into the mags, u could also read more into the development of the dark knight...really look at their viral marketing i think its building to something really really memorable.
Lol i found cloverfields viral marketing far more memorable.
this is all my perspecitve and sound assumptions.
You mean unsupported assumptions?
And please, don't even think of trying to come up with a rebuttal.
