If the Joker kisses Rachel Dawes, then that will mean that Ledger has tongued both Gyllenhaals. That's a hell of a feat.

Kim Basinger was worthless and I am glad was not mentioned against the likes of such greats as Katie Holmes and Maggie Gyllenhaal...

This is a blog written by regular people, not Pulitzer prize winning journalists. A little sarcasm doesn't hurt, especially when written about stories that aren't quite that important such as this Batman stunt. Its nice to break off from the monotony of boring stale news posts.

If your in need of the highest standards of professional journalism, go to CNN or BBC.

Is this Gothamist's attempt at gossip blogging, ie Gawker? While the event is newsworthy and I have nothing against it being posted, is the sarcasm necessary? I thought this was supposed to be a newsite. Or maybe I'm wrong and the alternative is that all of the comments about Space Chimps and Batman being a tiny art house film you believe to be true. Either way I think the tone is a little off for Gothamist.

that's amazing. i almost wish i wasn't in california for that. i've been waiting for this since the first preview before Bourne Ultimatum.

and i thought it was a universal understanding that katie holmes sucks. apparently there are differing opinions. how odd.

Bale is the best Batman since Keaton. The rest were terrible, and got worse with each movie after #1.

Bale has a gift for playing dark characters. I recommend that if you haven't seen American Psycho staring Bale, that you get off your asses and rent the DVD. That movie is the singular reason he was chosen to play Batman in the first place.

Ok wait im sorry do you actually think that space chimp will do better than Batman: Dark knight well thats where you would be wrong. batman will destroy in the boxoffice space chimps will be slauhtered so it is them you should wish the luck to.

OMG Dude, Dark Knight is so totally going to ROCK! I cannot hardly wait!

What movie isn't worse than Howard the Duck though, really?

You're full of it. If reviews are so universally bad, why are the early ones on Rottentomatoes all fresh?

I don't like this flat-top bat symbol. Bring back the classic oval.

This movie is gonna tank like never before. It's gonna be worse than howard the duck. The tracking for this movie is some of the worst reviews ever. Test audiences were leaving within ten minutes of the opening. Sadness all around.

"But there's no way I can stand watching Maggie G's fugly face instead of Katie's, acting skills aside."

that's the only thing i agree with you on.

That Tim Burton flick has not held up well over the years, the Prince song not the least of it.

Ed: 'Purple Rain'?

Shaun: No.

Ed: 'Sign o' the Times'?

Shaun: Definitely not.

Ed: The 'Batman' soundtrack?

Shaun: Throw it.

Okay, I admit Bale is a decent Batman, and I am sure Ledger will be an awesome Joker. But there's no way I can stand watching Maggie G's fugly face instead of Katie's, acting skills aside.

Be sure to watch for the trophy Chicago buildings when you see it. Then come for a visit!

Bale is the Bats. I'll take Maggie over Katie any day. And Ledger surpasses Nicholson as the Joker, if for any reason that he won't get stuck in that persona in almost every role he plays for the rest of his career. I love Nicholson, but he's become a broken record over the last 15 years.

Holy Mackerel Batman! A giant bat plastered into the building.

#8 is full of sh*t, Bale plays Batman as good as Burt Ward.

I think Bale makes an AMAZING Batman. And not just because he's cute...
