Nice mix of Elfman and TDK

Whoa, was that Elfman music included in an official TDK spot or was that a fan job?

[Batmoney]

That picture is absolutely classic!

I believe it's a fan job.  Sound editing is pretty decent considering there was probably a music track on the real one.

I like to keep the Burton and Nolans films as far away from each other as possible!

[The Dark Knight]

Yep.

TDK is not really heroic like that Elfman music is.

[DarkVengeance]

Its heroic but in a different way, heroic can be a number of things, and TDK definitly has that, just not in a traditional way!

[The Dark Knight]

Yah, like I said, TDK is not really heroic in the way Elfman's music is.

[Gotham Knight]

HILARIOUS!

That guy is hillarious.

It's good popcorn entertainment.  I really dug the whole scene with the mob leaders and the Joker in the kitchen (the vanishing pencil scene).  It's in my top five scenes from the whole movie.

And...

Batman flying to Hong Kong and dragging Lau back to Gotham was awesome too.  I'm aware of the criticisms of this sequence but I don't care.  The idea of having the moxie to fly to another country and drag a foreign national back to the States is pure Batman.  Loved it.

Having the DVD (and, thanks to the freebie on the second disc, the iPod vid, wahoooo!) I stand by EVERY WORD of the above and, in fact, cannot overemphasize the coolness thereof.  From the kitchen sequence until Batman delivers Lao... Lau... Low... howthehellever you spell his name to Gordon, the film NAILS it, it's done EXACTLY right.  Humor in the right spots, action in the right spots, spectacle in the right spots, it's simply bulletproof.
