Batman Begins Update
 At this past weekend's Wizard World Convention there was a screening of some rough cuts from Batman Begins. Here's a description from someone who was there:
Bruce Wayne fighting on the ice; a sword fight with Ducard (Liam Neeson); a close-up shot of Bale in the Batman mask looking as intense as heck; The Batmobile racing down the streets; Lucius Fox (Morgan Freeman) turning to Bruce Wayne and asking "So what do you think?" and Wayne replying "Does it come in black?"; a shot of the Scarecrow ambushing Rachel; a shirtless Bruce Wayne doing push-ups; Bruce and Rachel (Katie Holmes) smooching; and most spectacular of all, a flaming Batman falling off a building and landing on a car. The final shot was a terrified thug yelling "Where are you?" and the camera pulling back to reveal Batman behind him. "Right here."
I've actually read a number of reports (2) from the con concerning this few minutes of clips and the reaction has pretty been much the same: That so far this movie looks fantastic. Nolan's decision to shoot in real locals and to avoid CGI is giving the movie a grounded sense of reality that makes the fantasy even stronger. Similar to what Sam Raimi did with Spiderman.
This is getting good.
