The fact that someone PAYS to have that site open has to be the funniest goddamn thing I've ever heard.
And if we're using lists now of recent superhero movies, using the same films Vaulter's Insanity uses:
The Dark Knight
Iron Man
Hulk
Batman Begins
Superman (don't ask why)
Spider-Man Trilogy

I'm going to see the Dark Knight tonight. Mostly because the Joker's character looked interesting, but also because Ironman put me in a bit of a Superhero mood.

It didn't make you want to see "Tin Men", you're saying?

Sorry, but if you're talking to me, I'm not sure what you mean. I've never heard of a movie called, "Tin Men."

I was just kidding around. Iron Man/Tin Men/Steel Magnolias? What the hell
It's a dark comedy with DeVito and Dreyfus competing to sell aluminum siding.

Ok, so I just got back form The Dark Knight and it rocked! I mean obviously there was shit I didn't like about it, for instance, I still think Batman's voice sucks, the disarming in the courtroom, the ease after the fall with the ugly bitch Bruce loves...Ummmmm, I thought joker was dope, two face was kinda lame cause he didn't drool...ummm. Fuck I just read this like whole thread and forgot everything I wanted to say. Oh yea, this is one of the few superhero movies I like, I think all the spidermans sucked, this was only better than the first because of the Joker. I also didn't like that Gotham city turned into a pseudo New York. Old Gotham has hella class and is grimy, this was not, the building they used for the hospital was so 80's and lame I could barely even pay attention to the exploding shit. That was a great part though, when he had to press the button a bunch more times.
Erm...I'd like to see the Riddler next, in a stylized form. Becuase this Joker looked nothing like the original joker, so the new Riddler doesn't necessarily have to look like the original. I think they could make that character fit easily, and he could be crazy but in more of a sly sense.
Other movies that were discussed, Requiem is awesome, Pi is sweet too but sometimes too contrasty. annnnnnnnddddddd.......Meat Wad sucks *click*

I really liked it too. I never saw Batman Begins, or anything like that so I'm no expert. But it really seemed like more of a Joker movie than a Batman movie. Which was what made it worthwhile. I know I'm turning this thread into a broken record, but I loved the Joker's character.

I was getting fed up of the obvious hype with Ledger but he was fantastic in it and not being a sheep but I genuinely think he should definitely be up for awards. Noticed how most people criticising it seem to be nitpicking on details that really don't matter. If you want a film that'll take you by the hand and explain every single little thing then TDK's not gonna be for you...it involves a little imagination. "How did he get there? How did that happen? how did she end up there?" god shut up already and ask someone who got it
I thought the film overall was really well done and thought through, felt different to most films, sorta arty and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
