Just saw another tv spot for this today - man, this looks like a very well made film. Can't believe how good that short commercial looked.

They're certainly making up for the quiet campaign of Batman Begins, lol.

Spoiler:
I was going to post the spoiler here, but it's worth seeing in the context of the rest of the film.

Batman From the Dark Knight Chase Variant (with no mask)
Fear Toxin Batman from Batman Begins
Scarecrow and the Begins figures just came out. Wal-Mart seems to have a lot of them. I came across a couple today.

The soundtrack is basically Batman Begins with an industrial sound for the Joker, less synthesizers and a Harvey Dent theme to replace the 'love' theme.
There's still a sloppy orchestral performance in the more frenetic parts, and it's still all Zimmer with Howard barely getting a note in.
For Zimmer fans, they'll love it as usual. For someone who can't stand him (like me) it's just more of the same...it fits the tone of these films, but nothing more.
When all the various versions come out, they will all feature the same music contents.

I don't think I had seen this mentioned previously. 11 short clips at mtv (the first of which was posted recently). #11 is pretty cool.

Is there really only 20 minutes of IMAX footage? I read that there are four to six scenes filmed on IMAX. So if i already saw the first six minutes, there's only 14 minutes I haven't seen. That's kind of disappointing. I was hoping for at least 40 minutes of IMAX footage.

I'm going to be visiting NYC the week this opens: anyone have any theater recommendations? I'd rather pay more to get a good experience--well-behaved but excited crowd (do these exist?), comfortable/stadium seating. Thanks for the help New Yorkers.

Well since theater discussion has come up, I'm going to the Marcus Cinema in Sturtevent, WI. I'm debating on whether to see it on the Ultrascreen or to see a digital showing?
Ultrascreen is as follows:
UltraScreens®
The UltraScreens®, with razor sharp three-story tall picture, crystal clear digital sound and comfortable stadium seats are Marcus movie magic at its best.
The UltraView® auditoriums, boast a screen 75 feet wide by 32 feet tall.*
The UltraScreens® take moviegoing to a totally a new level of excitement that can never be experienced at home. The UltraScreens® are more than 500 times bigger than a typical 19”television screen.
Is this going to be a better screening or would Digital be better??
thanks
