  1. I've just recently thought of editing the GGundam Page. But I have a predicament as I do not know how to edit the page. I know how to edit the page, but I'm not sure how to put line breaks, cross linking, and all those fancy stuff you see in the wiki page. You see, here's how I want to write it: I. Back ground II. Contents a. Cast of Characters / voice actors (Might want to do a separate page for this as the list is extensive) b. Story Arcs c. List of Mechs (Might want to do a separate page for this as the list is extensive) d. Terms and keywords III. Staff, OP/ED staff IV. Famous Speechs V. Merchandise Please do feel free to suggest order of contents for this, as I will be taking information from my website at http://ggundam.atspace.com I can also edit the other Gundam Series, but I want to finish GGundam first as this is my favorite Gundam to date.
  2. I'm sure with the months long break would give them enough material to come up with a decent plot and better mech designs. They managed fine with the first season, I think they would surprise us with the second season. They might not let us expect anything, then blow us away with nice and shiny Gundams. Previews doesn't necessarily mean that's all were going to expect of the show. "Ooh, what does this button do?"
  3. Let's just give them a chance first. Remember that the previous Gundam Series (Seed Destiny) was full of Gundam eye candy so the plot was kind crap. Hopefully the plot for the second season of 00 will make up for the designs of the mech. Besides, if it's a simplified version, maybe they have some attachments in mind for those mechs. We just won't know until we watch it now, won't we?
  4. Ooh, a preview is out already? Gotta check this out. I didn't notice it, but it's only a few months away now.
  5. Unknown_Guyver, with regards to the retelling of the joker's past, I don't think it's really that much relevant. The Joker is already synonymous to Batman, so I think it would be better off if they didn't retell his past. With Harvey Dent however, I think it's very appealing with the way they handled his character. Also, if we are to compare this to the comics, I would say they are pretty well done. The nolan Batman tells the begining years of Batman and it is only natural that they did it the way they are. They didn't use the continuity of the regular DC comics, but more of the Frank Miller Batman. If you've read Batman: Year One, Batman: The Long Holloween and Batman: The killing Joke, it's pretty much the same way it was told. I've been following the Batman comics for years and I would say that they pretty much nailed it. Of course there are other small nit picks, but you can't please everybody. Again, you are entitled to your own opinion and I will respect that.
  6. Well, since this new Batman is in line with the Frank Miller Dark Knight continuity, there is still the other comic Dark Victory which they can protray. It's the continuation of Long Halloween which the Dark Knight movie was partly based of.
  7. Yes, Two-face, but I don't think two-face alone would suffice. He needs another rogue which he can manipulate. Bane perhaps? The thing is, if they ever tried to include someone with powers (like Poison Ivy or some other mutant), it would defeat the settings which Batman Begins established. He should be dealing with the mob and not some super powered freaks. Perhaps a resurrection of Ra's Al Ghul. We never did saw the Lazarus Pit in Batman Begins. Good thing they are basing the movies off the comics. Like Batman year One for Batman Begins and The Long Holloween & The Killing Joke for the Dark Knight.
  8. One thing that I liked about this movie is that That gives the movie more possibile stories in the future. I also like the events which led him into becoming the Dark Kngiht. if they did decide to make another movie, who do you think will be the next in line of the rogues gallery. Since the first and second movie the villains are still relatively human, would it be possible to have clayface or killer croc in? Perhaps he might start taking in a Dick Grayson, but not like in Batman Forever, but more like in the Jim Lee version.
  9. I've seen this movie last night. And I have to agree that this is still the "Year One" for Batman as it seems that they continued with that continuity. Joker is very defined, I like the interaction of Batman and Joker, that's the way they should be. Joker trying to push the buttons of Batman trying to see if he will break. I also felt that Batman deserved the title Dark Knight only at the end of the movie, I can't get into any details for this without spoiling anything. There were some detective work involved but they didn't seem to highlight most of them, and it's just like they pushed them in the back to feature the tech. Cool sonar though. By the way, did anybody noticed the batcave?
  10. It's in a in-between season break and would resume in September, I think. A new trend that they are testing to see wether the series is worth the whole 40+ episode. They've done this to Code Geass and seems to prolong the popularity of the series.
  11. Those are detective work, but I was thinking more like Sherlock Holmes detective. One should be very observant around his surrounding noticing the smallest detail. Like how you can tell when someone is lying or hiding something. Linking random series of event into an overall master plan. And Mcguyver like resourcefulness. I know it's not fair to compare batman to other characters, but hey, that's what I would like to think. I would say that Batman Begins worked very well because it tells the starting point of Batman's career. It shows how green batman can be and eventually established himself as an urban legend. There is one quote that I would like to share with everyone as to why movies are made into a certain way: "The formula of failure is to try to please everyone"
  12. No, I can't see into the future. But I do have a twisted sense of humour. Now I wonder how a g-unit would bond with an Apostle, or even a God Hand.
  13. Uh.... Dune was originally a book by Frank Herbert published way back in 1965. The movie was based on the first book and left out many important elements. They remade the first book into a sci-fi mini-series. They also made a mini-series called "Children of Dune", which was based on the second and third book, "Dune Messiah" and "Children of Dune". Which, by the way, are good reading. But were not here to talk about Dune. Sorry to be out of topic. So, about Batman....
  14. Oh poo! Everyone is in agreement that it's hard to do debates. One thing about the joker, its the villain that make the hero. Kill the villain and you kill the hero. Just look at the successful characters, Batman has joker and is still alive an kicking. And I find it funny that People find the joker so insane, no villain wants to work with him. And then there's Superman with his Lex Luthor. Captain America and his Red Skull, (well, in this case, it's a little different. I won't spoil anything, but it made news all over the world). Also, I like the way how Batman uses fear to his advantage. And although unrelated, I find this phrase from dune very appropriate: "I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."
  15. We're not saying that it will be bad. It's more like based on the trailer that was being shown, we won't be expecting much. If the movie would be great, then there would be a greater impact to me. I can say that most of us are saying that batman should be like this and batman should be like that, but in the end, I think everyone will still watch the movie.
  16. One thing about sequels, is that they owe it to the first movie. it is a rarity that the sequel do better than the first movie. With the first batman franchise, we see the first movie (Batman) being better and it's last sequel (Batman & Robin) as the worst. Hopefully with Nolan in the helm, this won't be a trend. If they want to showcase the gadgets of Batman, fine, they can do that, Batman's gadgets in the comics are way to unbelievable, but they are not to focus of the story. In the Dark Knight Movie, even though he has new gadgets, I don't want them to waste quality story time to feature a new bike riding through the highway showcasing it's thingamajig. Realsim isn't really much of an issue, it's the detective skills thats most important. One thing I regretted in Batman Begins, Ra's Al Ghul never called Batman "Detective". Or did he? I forget.
  17. For the non-burton batman, it's all the fault of the director. Schumaker killed the batman franchise. Nipples on armor? What the hell? I do agree that the Burton Batman was good. Burton being known for his dark and gothic interpretation, which is suitable to the setting of Batman's background and character. With Batman Begins, I think what they were doing was to depict the characters and settings as close to reality as possible, which would be quite a difficulty for Burton because of his imagination and his knack for experimenting. The Nolan Batman would fit into the category of realism, except that the costume designers had way too much fun. to be honest, I'd prefer the costume of the fanmade batman movie in Youtube, where you only see a cloth costume and all the muscles are pure flesh, not the synthetic type (see Batman Dead End on youtube. company firewall restricts me from searching it myself right now. Check this link instead: metacafe). What really amazed me was how detailed his cape was when he was trying to get up coming from a jump. How he blends in the shadows and how smooth his cape moves. See how relatively effective simple lightings would do without the neccessity of fancy gadgets and designer armor. I wish hollywood would learn from this.
  18. The actors are certainly not an issue. I know they will do a superb job portraying their roles. Christian Bale is certainly no Georce Clooney. (I hated clooney for protraying batman gay. Die clooney, die!!!) It's the story I'm worried about. Well, irregardless, I will see the movie. I'm dead set on seeing it when they announced it.
  19. Well, for one thing, I do hope that the story is as good as the titles name sake. Frank Miller re-imagined the image of Batman by giving him the title of Dark Knight, let's hope the movie not disappoint us. But at this stage, I'm not going to have a high expectation, lest I get disappointed.
  20. I think that what they are doing here is to emphasize the begining of Batman. Batman is known to have the great detective skills and being always 2 steps ahead of everyone. But during these early years, Batman is still learning to adopt to his surrounding and his new persona. If I'm not mistaken, "Batman Begins" was based on the comic Batman: Year One with a mixture of others. His attitude and demeanor might be appropriate for the first movie. But in the second movie, I'm just not sure where they based this. I would like to see batman use his head more than his toys. And judging from the movie posters, I'm inclined to believe that this movie is a showcase of his toys. Better not judge before seeing the movie.
  21. Have his henchmen do it for him? Of course judging from Griffiths character, he will take on Ganishka with strategy on mind, and not with brute force. He is the leader of the Band of the Hawks, the group that are known for conquering the unconquerable. If Griffith was unstopable when his men are composed of solely men, what more if his ranks include Zodd?

  25. Holy Crap indeed. How the hell is Griffith gonna face off with that! Grow into a Gigantic Hawk and calling him Griffith Exceed?
