does anybody know here to find the prologue online?
There are many bootleg copies available. You sure you wanna watch those? Doesn't look like anyone was able to capture the full height of the projected image, being an IMAX screen and all.

(I am just getting very excited now as I watched Batman Begins yesterday -for the first time- and I think it's my favourite movie ever!!!)

Lol! You obviously haven't seen "Dark Knight" yet then. It completely obliterates "Batman Begins" in ever manner possible ;)

actually I saw the Dark Knight... in Germany and in German (subtitled in English though) but I have absolutely no recollection of it!
I'll watch it again (in English) tomorrow :D

I doubt "Ich bin Batman!" sounds half as menacing as Christian Bale's delivery. :)

I think I am alone here but I just watched The Dark Knight (again) and I thought it was not nearly as brilliant as Batman Begins!
(alright the last 5 minutes were quite awesome!)

Nah, I'm sure there are loads of people who preferred the first one.
Any particular reason why you did?

I loved everything in BB but I think I could just summarised as: BB tells you a story, TDK is (just) another good action movie!

I thoroughly enjoyed BB, but I don't feel it possesses much repeat viewing potential. I could definitely do without the entire origin bit (ie. the first hour) whereas with TDK, it is (for me anyway) a non-stop, nail-biting thrill-ride of an action movie. There is a rich, deeply layered story in there, but you're right - it's the exhilarating action sequences which keep bringing me back for more

Either way, "Memento" is still my favourite Nolan flick of all time. :cool:
