Thanks for the heads-up Ral.

you be going johnny?

Damn it!  I can't get to London!  But am very envious of those who can make it!  Wish someone would do something like this where I live.  Sigh, I think it's time to move to a bigger city again.  Hope who ever does go, has a GREAT TIME!!!

I'm not sure, but I better think fast.  I see that many seats have already been taken.

All four are excellent films, and it'd be cool to see them all on the big screen back-to-back, especially my favourite, Batman '89, which is the only one out of the four that I haven't seen on a big screen.

very true. do you live close to the BFI Imax?

Yeah, I live in Sarf London, so it only takes me about half an hour to get to the LFT.

Ah man you have to go then!  I live in Northern Ireland and I'm gonna do my best to get over.

Cool.  Have you booked yet?

I booked a seat just in case i can go.

So, all the Burton - Schumacher - Nolan films are being played back to back in one night?

Gee.

I don't think I could sit there that long.

And I'd have to endure Schumacher's "films" before quality returned.

I'd be only seeing Batman (1989) and Batman Returns, then I'd leave.

No, only the Burton films followed by the Nolan films.  No Schumacher films.

I just looked at the link provided, and I see that now. I was assuming it included all the films.

It's still a long time to sit down. 

Tonight they are showing all the SAW films back to back - how many of those are there? 6?

Yep. There is no way I'd be sitting through six films in one sitting.

So far...who all is going?

I really only want to go if there is a chance of a meet-up (otherwise it's a long way to go on my own  :-\)

I'll try and book today Ral.  It would be cool to put a face to the name.

It's probable that I'll be going by myself too.  Ral, where will you be sitting?

Seat H10

I got a little info from Sian Harris the Visitor Services Manager at BFI IMAX

QuoteWe have half hour breaks between each films.

The running times are
Batman 126 mins
Batman Returns 126 mins
Batman Begins 140 mins
The Dark Knight 152 minutes

Allowing for 3 thirty minute breaks I would estimate that the all-nighter will finish at approx 10am.

I would love to go but I'm at my friends 18th birthday party !  :(

I most deft will be going, just trying to persuade the GF or a couple of friends to go with me, thats why its awesome to study in London in order to go to events like this.

Did anyone here go to this?

I went with the GF and it was really awesome seeing all the movies most notebably Batman 89, seeing that on the big screen with the orginal print was fablous so many great moments heighted by the big screen such as Descent Into Mystery/Drive back to the Bat Cave, Joker`s first apprance and the first scene with Batman`s intro. Seeing Returns was awesome and in the orginal print to was great, hardly any of the colours were amplified which made me think of it more as a Germen Expressonism film. Begins same as before always wowed by it but seeing TDK in IMAX was a totally driffrent experince despite this being my 8th viewing of the movie. The action in the middle was awesome and the last scene in IMAX just made you feel closer to the action and the emotion of the end of TDK. Overall a very great exprince and the Batman trivia contest was fun to, lol not to many people knew their stuff some thought Robin made his debuit in 1997.

Ahhh man.  That sounds brilliant.  I wish I'd been there.   ???

At what point was the trivia contest, and were any of the questions film related?  Also, what were the crowd like Scarecrow if you don't mind me asking.

I hope the BFI do another one of these, or at least Batman and Batman Returns back-to-back.

The trivia contest was after Batman Returns, just at the half way point. And the questons varied some focused on the comics, some on the movies and some related to the directors or starts of the movies such as: What movie did Chris Bale lose an excessive amount for? I don`t mind you asking Gobs, the crowd were very good they clapped at all movies, I counted Returns getting quite a few espically at the end. The whole crowd were into all the movies espically 89 I would say. Overall a fantastic exprince I rewatch these movies quite a bit on DVD every year but nothing compares to seeing it on the big screen with loads of people and some were even hardcore Bat fans, some came dressed up. I just wore my Batman 89 logo t-shirt.

I wish I was there too. Must have been brilliant.

Awesome stuff Scarecrow - wish i was there

Batman Returns was received well by the crowd?

Brilliant!

Batman Returns is acutally very popular over here. It's also something of a darling with British critics.

Its dark mood kind of fits the British sensibility, much like Mars Attacks! which is also comparatively more popular in the UK than it is in America.

Man, I wish they would have a Batman all nighter in the US. I would really love to see Batman Returns on the big screen again for the first time since 1992..... :)
