Link Blowout v.53 - The Dark Knight Edition

• Michael Bay’s Rejected ‘Dark Knight’ Script
This took a lot of time and care to pull off, and boy does it. Hilarious in all the right ways.

• 30 Seconds With Mr. Freeze
While drinking in the inevitable greatness of Nolan’s second, I think it’s important to remember the travesties of the past. Never forget.

• A Look Back At ‘Begins’
iFanboy takes a hard look at Nolan’s first Batman film. I agree with everything their crew has to say both pos/neg but would add that the first needed more action. Early word says we are getting that with TDK. Huzah!

• Joker -vs- Joker
Not as good as Battle of the Batmans, but I see what you did there. [via]

It’s loading a little slow at the moment, but well worth the wait.

Impressive. I don’t think I realized until just know how deep Nolan’s cast really is.

• WTF?!
The ‘Dark Knight’ trailer on a budget. You gotta love Youtube. Or not.

• Why ‘Dark Knight’ Might Not Break Records
Just for arguments sake.
