DAILY VID: THE DARK KNIGHT vs. BATMAN trailer!
If you played the first trailer for The Dark Knight with full sound and chopped some scenes together from Tim Burton’s original Batman to play alongside it - the following video would be the result.
I don’t think this was done to really show you that Christopher Nolan has consciously stolen any direct shots from Burton (with the possible exception of the Batbike vs. Gun scene… which we have spoken about before) but it was more for fun and maybe to show that Batman/Joker films almost inevitably will have similar shots.
Though some of the similarities are very dubious.
Anyway sit back and enjoy the first in our Daily Vid feature, which we found at College Humor…

DAILY VID - which has no connection to /Film’s VOTD or Moriarty’s ONE THING I LOVE TODAY from AICN… (honest) is a brand new feature where we showcase one video I have found cool, humorous, insightful or all of the above!
If you have any suggestions for the feature then e-mail us directly at editor @ obsessedwithfilm.com (remove the spaces).

Nolan’s version is superior–no contest! HATED Burton’s version. Hate Burton too, for that matter.
Oh, and that shot of Leger leaning against the wall looks like the show of Cox as Hannibal Lecter in Manhunter. Guess it won’t be long before some 13 year-old braindead Michael Bay fan accuses Nolan of ripping off Michael Mann.

that was really cool-reminded me of the lego version of the trailer-and some of those shots are very similar-but…
“This city deserves a better class of criminal-and I’m gonna give it to’em!” and “here’s my card”…beats the hell outta “wait’l they get aload of me…”-sorry, jack.
