Bravo, Jenkins. The way you closed that Feldstein account was... diabolical.

So the big news yesterday was that Peter Travers of Rolling Stone had reviewed The Dark Knight.  I would’ve covered that if Travers hadn’t lost all credibility in the last year by giving Atonement and 4 Months, 3 Weeks, and 2 Days four stars each.  I saw both of those and let me tell you, I’d rather get ass raped by a rhinoceros with my head in a clogged toilet than watch either of them again.  Okay, that was a bit of an overstatement.  But in all seriousness, I’d rather… eat… a strawberry… that wasn’t ripe yet! Ew, it’s tart!  That’s the opposite of what I was expecting! The horror!

Anyway, today IESB has a big batch of new pictures from the movie (only 22 days away!!!11!), a few of which I’ve included here.  They also have an entire page of "production notes" that include stuff like this:

THEN WHAT ABOUT THE BATCAVE?
Crowley notes that as long as his home was in the city, Batman needed a new headquarters. “He can’t go to his Batcave, so we came up with the idea of a bunker that ties back to the architectural theme of the penthouse in that it’s vast but very plain. It is essentially a large concrete box where everything comes out of the walls and then goes back. But it still had to be visually interesting. It was all about proportion and perspective, which was actually great fun to do.”

…Yeeeaaahh….  I think I’ll wait for the actual movie, thanks.  Reading this shit’s like going to a strip club with a guy who spends the whole time yammering about what the stripper’s g-string’s are made out of and where they get the fabric.  I guess what I’m trying to say is that I just want Christian Bale to show me his vagina already.
