I'm pretty sure The Narrows was actually a set and not CG. There's a feature on the special edition release of Begins on it.

Another "Nolan isn't doing Batman 3" rumor:

This one actually gives some reason which is that Nolan might not want to continue without Ledger. Apparently The Joker was in his plans for a third film but obviously that's out.

lol me too, I think the soundtrack is very underrated too, It really does a good job of amping up the excitement.

I find myself walking around campus just listening to the soundtrack. One of the better ones I've ever heard.

Whatever it was, it didn't seem right in any way that it screamed "realism" like Nolan tends to want to achieve, and it was clearly another part of Gotham.

I may be in the minority when I say that I am 100% content if they don't carry out a third Batman film. With that being said, if Nolan doesn't want to do a third one, I don't want a third one to be made.


R.I.P. Heath Ledger

In as much as I understand your point, there is no way they let that happen.

Best hope is they hand the reins to somebody else who's talented and let them play in the Gotham sandbox.

Is there anything that you guys like better in begins then in TDK. I know, i know, TDK was amazing. But, i actually enjoyed the combat in begins better. And also the batsuit. I loved the charcoal look over the leather. However, that is pretty much it

IMO one thing Nolan can't do is direct a fight scene. Yes, the score and everything else about them overtakes what goes on in them (and most importantly the fights aren't the pinnacle of these movies' greatness), but there's not much to speak of in the fight scenes in general anyway.

In BB, when he's Batman, you can never see what's going on. When he engages the drug dealers, everything is close and swiveling. Same thing happens when he takes on Ra's al Ghul's pawns.

Though I did like that Batman was a little more "stealthy" in Begins, like you didn't ever know where he was, etc.

However, in TDK, at least this time we get a better look at what's going on, but it's just that everything feels a bit "slow" and poorly choreographed. That's okay though... everything else about the movie was great. I just don't want them to jump overboard and go from, say, Casino Royale to Quantum of Solace status.
