The Theory of Applied Batmatics

"Insist on reality — no effects, no tricks — up to the point where insisting on reality becomes unrealistic ... In an Imax theater, your eyes can't wander off Nolan's enveloping canvas and can't easily dismiss what they're seeing as trickery. Maybe that's the most special effect of all." Color me giddy.

I may be jumping the gun on this one, but I feel safe in saying that it will be one of the best movies of all time.

Nope, you're not jumping any guns. Here's me, here's you and here's total agreement.

I think it'll definitely be the best Batman flick of all time. BUT- as far as IMAX goes, Michael Jordan to the Max was the best film ever shown on an IMAX screen.

I don't think I've ever been this excited about a movie release.

I'm friggin' stoked. I love Nolan's approach, as it pays tribute to the core of what I love about Batman: he's real. He's not from another planet or had some crazy accident. He's just a badass in a black suit that would scare the crap outta me if I saw him for realz.

Friggin' awesome – great find Ryan!
