    My friends saw an advanced screening about a week ago and loved it. One of them works at IMAX and got to see it there as well and said that IMAX made it even better.

    I'm weary about going to see anything in IMAX since they always seem to edit it from the original film. IMAX projectors can only hold 2 hours worth of film so unless the movie is short, you miss out on stuff. If I like it enough after seeing it in the theater, then I'll go back for the IMAX.

    Re: Batman Begins

    It looks alright.

    No one can beat Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer, or George Clooney in Batman movies.

    Seriously though, I thought Keaton was the best.

    From what I'm reading, Bale is the best BM yet. The movie has gotten lots of positive reviews so far. It also doesn't look like a movie for the kiddies.

    I am psyched for this movie. It looks incredible. From what I hear it goes with the story too. Not the liberties that shmuckface took in the other ones.

    Keaton was my favorite as well.

    Are you as big of a Batman geek as you are a Star Wars geek? Or is that even possible?

    1st - Dick Grayson, parents killed by Boss Zucco during a trapeze act in a protection scam.

    2nd - Jason Todd, parents killed by Killer Croc

    3rd - Tim Drake, mother killed by Two-Face, father by Captain Boomerang

    4th - Stephanie Brown, father was Cluemaster, killed in a Suicide Squad mission, mother still alive.

    Stephanie Brown is dead.

    Jason Todd, thought dead, is now alive, terrorizing Gotham's underworld.

    Wait...Robin was a girl? What's with Stephanie Brown?

    I think the most common name he's had was Dick Grayson, but I'm not sure. I can say that's how I knew him.

    Don't know about the length issue, but for sure it screws with the original aspect ration, due to the shape of the IMAX screen.

    When did they bring Jason Todd back from the dead? I have the series where he's blown up by the Joker.

    It's happening right now in the current Batman's!!! Great story. He beat the crap out of the Joker with a crowbar two issues ago. All the while saying, "How do you like that?", "How's that feel?".

    Then he takes over Joker's former identity of the Red Hood and starts going extreme on the bad guys. It's a great read.
