    We never get anything like this in the UK. It's not as though there's no market here for it either.

      I'd love to see this in a theater if possible. Problem is they don't tell you where it's going to play.

          Looks like it's been expanded to 300+ theaters around the country. One is literally a 5 minute drive from my house. 2 showings and that's it. Anyone else going?

            That's something I am truly looking forward to. Most likely it will be a DVD experience, but it should be unforgettable. If only they could make the movies the way they effortlessly make the animated pieces with Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill!!

                  I picked up my tickets for tomorrow earlier this week, although I kind of wish I hadn't read any of the buzz coming out of SDCC this weekend about it now.

                    You might change your minds once you've read what they've done to Batgirl (besides what the Joker does to her)
                    The Killing Joke is a 30-year-old Batman graphic novel that goes to ugly places, especially in what it does Batgirl. And when folks expressed anger at Barbara Gordon’s portrayal in a new, controversial scene in the upcoming film adaptation during a DC panel, things got ugly in real life.

                      These changes don't bother me a bit. Can't wait to see it.

                        really? Batgirl getting it on with Batman? Sorta creepy and demeaning to the character that she's just into crime fighting for the nookie?

                          ^Well, I already bought my tickets, so I'll see how this works out.

                          I have never been a fan of the Bruce/Barbara romance, but their flirtation existed on the TV show before the Dick/Babs flirtation grew into romance on BTAS. I really disliked the idea that Bruce and Babs had a romance post TNBA, but apparently Bruce Timm is a fan of it.

                            Yep. WB was smart to roll that out early. The volume of news seems to help muffle the reaction.

                              IMO - it's because he's a "Man" who mentors a "Boy" and she's a "Girl". It feels manipulative, which I'm guessing is why they have Babs the instigator instead of simply having the relationship in existence.

                              I blame Batwoman...
