Good.
This thread is like a portal to some alternate universe that I could never be a part of. I do not understand.
Wishful thinking, perhaps; but that is just another possible definition of the featherless biped.
I gave boner the print. It's true.
If so, than all-time really needs to get its act together.

That trailer rocks. I think Ledger will be great as the Joker. I'm not so sure we need any other villians though. I mean last time I checked the Joker was the Bat's greatest nemsis, and thus any other enemies will pale in comparrison.

I'm thinking that'll be a big part of the film - looking at how sick Gotham has become, and also how everything evil in Gotham pales in comparison to The Joker.

It's really not that different from the hype for There Will Be Blood. I'd almost say the PTA film has more rabid fanboys right now (just by digging around in RT). At least one of them has decades of history and fanbase built-in.
Sure why not?

Upton Sinclair's been around longer than Batman.

Good trailer. There are at least a few shots in here that look more interesting than anything Nolan has shown us before. Perhaps this will be where he breaks away from the bland aesthetic that has been the signature of his work.
I'm going to have to be another semi-negative voice. Love the eyes and joker teaser posters, the cityscape one is mediocre, mostly because of the placement of the title. The trailer was nothing special, not very well edited and to be honest I find Nolan's compositions here somewhat lacking compared to all his other work. The shot of the kid falling down the well and the umbrellas at the funeral in the first teaser for Begins were much more powerful compositions. I'm still anticipating. I love Nolan's style and I haven't disliked a film from him yet, but I'll need a better trailer to light my fire.
That's what you think! HAHAHAHAHAHHAAHA!!!
D'oh!
Nice one, needs more Dersu Uzala though.
D'oh!
PTA hasn't.

This statement is somewhere between baffling and zen.
Wait, how does having 'decades of history' (which, as Sycophant noted, TWBB has more of) and a built-in fanbase justify the hype of a film over another?
Ah, but PTA has been around longer than Nolan. Zing!
Why baffling?
I think since the Batman character has been around forever, there's more reason that people would look forward to a movie, whereas, people are looking forward to PTA's film because it's PTA.
I do not see anything wrong with that.
I think it'd be pretty stupid to try to argue that Upton Sinclair is a more popular character than Batman.
The Dark Knight is a sequel to a film which was monumentally successful, and has one of the biggest ad-campaigns I've ever seen.
There Will Be Blood is a relatively small film, isn't being advertised very much, has less recognizable stars, and is simply a less interesting topic in the public eye.
Add to that the fact that yes, Batman has nearly 7 decades of rabid fanbase, and it's easy to see why one is more anticipated than the other.

What the fuck is PTA?

Boy?

Isn't it a male genital piercing?

This is the standard response to someone who declares their love for something that doesn't exist.
