Arkham Asylum Doctor: Commissioner, is that-
Commissioner Gordon: What? No! No, that's not-
Batman: It's, ah...his name is Half-Harvey Dent Face.
Arkham Asylum Doctor: Half...?
Batman: Half-Harvey Dent Face, yes.
Arkham Asylum Doctor: I don't, uh, I don't understand.
Commissioner Gordon: Well, you see, doctor...
Batman: See that horribly burned part of his face? That's his his real face.
Commissioner Gordon: Right!
Batman: The half that looks like Harvey Dent, he was having plastic surgery to make himself look like Harvey Dent.
Commissioner Gordon: To, uh, to ...he was going to discredit Harvey Dent, I guess?
Batman: Mmm-hmm, right, exactly. Steal his identity and discredit him. But we stopped him. Like, right at halfway through.
Arkham Asylum Doctor: Holy crap, that's wild!
Batman: I know, right? Anyway, he also...he also sounds like Harvey Dent and thinks he is Harvey Dent. But make no mistake, he is not Harvey Dent. He's...
Commissioner Gordon: Half-Harvey Dent Face.
Batman: Half-Harvey Dent Face.
Arkham Asylum Doctor: Well, fair enough. Hey, do you...do you need a lozenge or something, Batman?
Batman: No, no, I'm good.


Alright, you've convinced me.  It is a pretty sound plan after all.

That's awesome.

I've been wondering about the Harvey Dent death thing. I read some blurb about Aaron Eckhardt saying he would love to return for the next Batman movie. Maybe he knows something we don't?

Anyway, I loved the movie. Saw it in IMAX last week. We're going to go see it in, uh, regular size soon because some of the action was a little hard to catch on the gigantor screen. But other than that, I can imagine the IMAX experience to be the way to go.

[Especially if you're a long-time Heath Ledger/Christian Bale/Gary Oldman/Cillian Murphy fan such as myself!]

He and Maggie Gyllenhaal were both signed for two movies, if that means anything.

I also didn't like the Two-Face face effect. It felt really cartoony in a movie that was trying very hard to be realistic as possible. The exposed muscles/eyeball and the holes in his face just didn't seem realistic, and it looked too CG. It just bothered me. Also, I was disappointed that he died.

whuuut...are you crazy?!  his face looked much mroe realistic in this feature than it did a la tommy lee jones.  mokin, i have to disagree- im sorry.

I think it looked better than Tommy Lee Jones, sure. But how hard is it to top Joel Schumacher?

FUN FACT: Chris L is one of Christopher Nolan's top choices to play The Riddler in the next Batman movie. His only competition...

...is this guy.


He actually already has the perfect colored suit for it...

Has there been any confirmation yet of the rumors that Christian Bale based the Batman voice on the narrator from Alphaville?
I'll probably go into the wee hours.

why is batman always so pissed off about shit?  he should be like, 'dude, i'm fuckin batman.  let's go break some shit!'

in my mind, batman could be cool.  but it's like in comic books and movies he always comes out gay.

Batman would be way better if he started holding up liquor stores and stopped having sex with dudes, you mean?

no, dill.  why can't batman use his powers for some fun stuff too?  he could start a band or throw more parties for cool subplots.  basically, why the fuck would you waste all your time risking your life if you had a ton of money and nothing to do all day?  it's just not believable.

I believe the super hero for you would be Iron Man.
