When they throw a trailer online, they should make sure it loads quickly...

To achieve that, they would've had to have made it shit Youtube-esque quality.

Apple's HQ trailers always load very quickly for me.
Gametrailers.com's HQ trailers as well...

They don't guarantee they will for everyone though.

Personally I always download QuickTime trailers and never stream them.

When I watched it, it just streamed straight away with no pauses or anything.

Hmm... tried again, and this time it streamed perfectly. maybe something was wrong this afternoon, or just too busy...

I just noticed on the trailer, you see Harvey Dent on the floor with his face in acid, and then there's a clip of him in a car and you can just make out a tiny bit of the scarred face.

Is it just me, but does this trailer just look very unimpressive, uninteresting, and the Joker seems totally out of character...!?

I'm still very excited about this film, but I kinda had the same feeling...

The Joker didn't seem quite so... manic as in the last trailer.

I still can't wait to see it though!

Two villains = bad

Thanks Gasteropod

I presumed it was streaming only.

You guys chose to stream it when there are 3 download links? If I have to stream something I don't usually bother. I'll download one of the top down and play without any crud streaming, and in full-screen too.

Streaming sucks!

Yi-Long · Post by **Yi-Long** » 05 May 2008, 00:33

Streaming only sucks when the connection is bad. usually, my connection is great, and with the usual websites I stream from, their connection is great as well.
So there's no need to download it first, as it will just play perfectly, and I can watch it immediately.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 05 May 2008, 00:49

You can play it full-screen when downloaded

, much better and no risk of it pausing. What's 2-5 minutes waiting anyway?

Anyway the trailer looks ace and so does the joker. I can't wait.

I disagree! But I did notice that the Joker didn't seem to be talking as weird as in the last trailer.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 05 May 2008, 03:55

I thought that too, only a little though.

EvaUnit02 · Post by **EvaUnit02** » 05 May 2008, 04:16

Just watched the new trailer, looked ace. Can't wait.

No probs with streaming. Quicktime trails are fine for me.

TDK hasn't blown my skirt up yet... but I'm curious enough to want to know more.

Batman Begins had two villains (Raj the Ghoul and Scarecrow).

IronMonkey · Post by **IronMonkey** » 05 May 2008, 10:31

Ra's Al Ghul.

Raj the GHoul??????

You should copywright that one Brad!

"copywright"?
"Brad?"

I'm glad I'm not the only one who didn't get that one

And they were the weakest thing about Batman Begins

. That needed better villains.

Scarecrow was a very small villain though, maybe Two Face will be too. I just find one villain works better as often when you have two their screen time is split in half and they're not developed enough.

Well this one's written by the Nolan brothers, so fear not.

EvaUnit02 · Post by **EvaUnit02** » 05 May 2008, 16:23

I still haven't seen Spider-man 3 and personally find the prospect of THREE villains to be tiring already.

Goddamn studio forcing Venom down Raimi's throat. He's like Spidey's equivalent of Wolverine, way over-used.
