Nice Christian Bale interview …

Our good friends over at ReelComix scored an interview with Christian Bale during ‘The Dark Knight’ press junket. Its a great read, go check it out..

Here is a snippit:

“Was the suit more comfortable this go around

It was heavier but much more comfortable. There is 110 parts to this one there were 3 to the original. I can move my head  this time and the suit was more mobile. For the  fighting method that we used the suit actually was compatible with that, where as in the first one i was having to fight against the suit in order to be able to do the fight sequences. In every way the suit was more advanced and I think also more in keeping with images that the military have of future soldiers and their gear.

The suit has to evolve but there were certain just for personal reasons, requests that I had made, and that Chris had been adamant about. We had to be able to move the head. Batman has never moved his head in any of the movies.”

Things to do while waiting for ‘The Dark Knight’

This one is for you Chuckwick. Ropes of Silicon have posted up a hilarious day by day breakdown of things you can do while waiting for the movie to release.

Here is my favorite, and I think Charlie already did this:

“July 1st:

Send out “Save the Date” cards reminding your buddies that July 18, 2008, is the most important day of their short, pathetic lives. Make sure the card shows a picture of you in your favorite Batman costume. Card should also remind buddies to wear their favorite Batman (or Star Wars or Japanese Manga character) costumes to the screening.”

There you go you The Dark Knight fanboys…

And as an extra attraction ala Michelle…here’s wild video of Batman vs Batman for the obsessed fan….enjoy!

They have released a new poster, and it is by far my favorite of the bunch. What do you guys think?

‘Dark Knight’ honors Heath Ledger

Heath Ledger is getting a fond tribute from his collaborators on “The Dark Knight,” reports THR. The end credits of the “Batman Begins” sequel include a farewell note to Ledger, who died in January from an accidental overdose of prescription drugs; and to special-effects technician Conway Wickliffe, who was killed last September in a stunt-car accident.

“In memory of our friends Heath Ledger & Conway Wickliffe,” reads the tribute included in the credits, which went up Thursday on the Warner Bros publicity Web site.

Ledger plays the villainous Joker in “The Dark Knight,” who begins a reign of terror on Gotham City that pits him against conflicted hero Batman (Christian Bale).

Beginning months before Ledger’s death, his frenetic performance and demented-clown makeup have been a cornerstone of the marketing campaign for the film.

“I needed a phenomenal actor, but he also had to be someone unafraid of taking on such an iconic role,” director Christopher Nolan says in the production notes for “The Dark Knight.” “Heath created something entirely original. It’s stunning, it’s captivating. … It’s going to blow people away.”

This is wonderful news.

RIP Heath!
