Dark Knight director shuns digital effects for the real thing

To say i am a fan of Batman would be putting it mildly. Though up until Batman Begins, I was always let down by what Hollywood did with the story of my favorite comic book hero.

With the information presented in this article on how Christopher Nolan decided to create this latest installment of the series, you've got a fan in a frenzy on your hands.

Christian Bale IS Batman. The last installment of the series, Batman begins made me extremely excited about where the look and feel of The Dark Knight was going to go next. I can't think of a better way to honor the recent loss of one of the greatest special effects artists in the industry; Stan Winston, than to make a movie like the way Mr. Nolan has apparently done with The Dark Knight.

I am so excited to see this flick. I don't care for much that comes out of Hollywood these days, but since I am a fan of everyone in this film, Christian Bale, Heath Ledger, Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, and Gary Oldman, Christmas is coming early this year for YMM. ;-)

Check out the linked article, then watch the trailers in HD. I prefer Trailer #2. If you don't feel a bit like a kid again, please check your pulse.

Fanboys welcome

  • Sweet, I'm getting a bit tired of the CG-Flicks.

  • No kidding. Lets get back to the old school way of doing things. Don't get me wrong, I love what George Lucas has done for compositing and the film industry with the new digital medium. But Nolan is on to something here that is pure and should have fans wowed. At least the ones that know that it's not CG.

  • Great! I love animation and graphics, one of my passions.

  • Guillermo del Toro has pretty much the same take; do it in camera and it looks real. Lynch has always done likewise but to his own ends of course. Despite the advances in digital compositing hardly any of it beats the intro sequence in Blade Runner either. Nice to see Nolan doing it for real.

  • I have to respectfully disagree. Hollywood has tried to kill Batman for me. The films get worse with each attempt, and Dark Knight IS and WILL be the worst one! (not that many comic book movies have been good)

    I'm a big BatFan (Batman tattoo included), and this is the first one I do not want to see! It doesn't even look like a BatFilm, it looks like Ronin or Barb Wire or some other garbage!
    I also like Bale, a lot, even though he makes bad movies, but he is Mumbly Joe as Batman! Bad casting all around.

    The day it opens, I'll read a comic book instead.

    Alright, I have to stop now, or I never will!
