Posted by: Redd on April 2, 2008 at 02:47:28

Someone please give detailed info for the Dark Knight footage!

DETAILED DESCRIPTION (or a camera to show the rest of the world)

Posted by: Robin on April 2, 2008 at 04:10:43

NYC all the way!!!!!!!
i love comics and stuff

yeah yeah

Posted by: billy bineson on April 2, 2008 at 04:14:39

in response to Redd,
first off idiot, how do u mispel "red". read a book. secondly, do you know how illegil that is for someone to try and video record copyrighted footage? pretty illegil idiot. One of my best friends is in the military, and one of there moddows is "Integrety" which means doing the write thing at the write time. you could take away something from him retared. People like you maken me so sick, its people like you that pressure actors into taking drugs because they have all there work copywroted, and its stressful. Trust me i know, my uncle is best friends with Michal Keeton (from the ORIGINAL batman & robin movie). So i hope ur happy "Redd", Owen Wilson and Heath Leggers bloods are in your hands.

PS instead of commenting on these posts, how about you go read a dictonary and look up "red"
(sorry everyone else, i had to vent!)

Billy...
What are you banging on about? Take it easy.
Sorry but your comments are riddled with mistakes (Keaton not Keeton....from Batman & Batman Returns, he wasn't in Batman & Robin) etc etc...

Copywroted??
Steady on.

Posted by: Joker1 on April 2, 2008 at 04:51:08

You know your mistakes billy? I sure hope so, because you made a TON of them. First, Redd is dude's name/handle and he can spell it however he wants. Continuing from there, here are some correct spellings you need - misspell, illegal, motto, integrity, right (meaning correct, which is what you were trying to say, as opposed to write, which you need to learn how to do), make, it's (it is), their (ownership, not location), copywroted? - seriously?, you're (you are). Michael Keaton (note the spelling again) was never in a movie with Robin, the first two were only Batman. Owen Wilson is still alive and kicking. And I'm pretty sure Heath Ledger's family doesn't blame Redd for his accidental overdose. Stop staying up past your bedtime to say stupid things, kid. You only made yourself look dumb.

Nicely put Joker1.

Posted by: Harish on April 2, 2008 at 05:13:33

Well at least the ol' chap got 'retard' right. Bless the fella.

I'd still like a (good) recording if possible!

Posted by: Joker1 on April 2, 2008 at 05:14:30

acutally sorry, i just wanted to apologize, and im really not trying to be sorcastic, my bad billy, i realise everyone makes mistakes, and i just have been having a really bad days, so i took it out on u, but vinchenzo, you are obviously an idiots because if u r gonna correct someone, at least correct all there stuff, those are the only ones you cought? so in short, im sorry billybineson, and vinchenzo19 what are you even thinking?

Posted by: The Professor (And Mary-Ann) on April 2, 2008 at 05:30:42

First of all, you're all retarded and can't spell OR use proper punctuation. Perhaps you all should take some time and read about punctuation on Wikipedia. Joker1, I think you've overused your comma quota for the day. Billy... seems to be a "special" child and probably just starved for attention. However, all of you are not better than Billy for feeding his fire.

Posted by: billy bineson on April 2, 2008 at 05:49:59

hey M3g@H4x0r! that wasnt me who posted the last thing, it was someone using my name, probibly one of my enemies like joker1, whos trying to get my computer virus from you guys, so if you having to do anything do it to him, one of my best friends knows how to hack, so i know all about IP addreses and Binary, so you dont need to do anything to a fellow hackor

Posted by: Smallz on April 2, 2008 at 06:51:28

Haha. oh, man. This Billy Bineson cant catch a break. Every time he posts something he just gives people more things to make fun of.

You're almost 19 and you're in High School. I sure hope you're a Senior. The question mark left me questioning why you had put it there. Lastly, why would you put your High School on this post? You've got to be on myspace. Now anyone can look you up and stuff your inbox with Batman hate-mail. You should just put your Social Security number, home address, and a list of all of your fears as well. Just STOP. Please.

Anyway. I sure hope somebody writes a decent description of The Dark Knight footage. Thanks.

Posted by: billy bineson on April 2, 2008 at 07:00:37

smallz, well i just got in trouble by my roomate for posting my address on here, so i wont post it again but if you really want to start some beef then read the "New iron man pics" post on this website.. and yes, ill be a senior next year, i started school late when i was a kid, and so what if ive gotten held back once or twice, would you make fun of someone who had a physical handicap? NO, so why would you make fun of someone just because they arent that great in school, you idiot. your a retard.

Posted by: Soup on April 2, 2008 at 07:36:07

You people are really really bored. Stop this and go talk to girls.

Posted by: Smallz on April 2, 2008 at 09:15:07

Well, Billy perhaps you are right. I shouldnt make fun of people like you with the problems you have. I do however have a problem with somebody like you making fun of people with a mental handicap; calling others retard. Hypocrite. Anyway.

Let's stop all of this. I'll start a new topic. umm...So do any of you think Harley Quinn is in the TDK? If so do you think she'll make it in any of the upcoming footage?

Posted by: 1138forever on April 2, 2008 at 09:23:08

twety-first!!! Zing.

Posted by: 1138forever on April 2, 2008 at 09:23:51

Wait i spelled that wrong. Twenty-second!!!!

Posted by: GLKEL on April 2, 2008 at 10:08:26

Why no JLA info??? I want that movie.

Posted by: Zeeyang Guo on April 2, 2008 at 10:13:09

oh man i read this entire thread... ahahaha too funny

Posted by: emj2006 on April 2, 2008 at 10:34:40

Harley Quinn is going to be in the movie... but shes not going to transform into her just yet... shes simply going to be known as Harleen Quinzel.

Posted by: vinchenzo19 on April 2, 2008 at 10:36:15

Joker1.
I wrote ..etc etc in the post. I didn't want to make the lad feel bad, just correct him on his rant.
YOU crucify him and then realise you may get banned from the board so you act like his best friend and attack me?

Get some help you lonely little man.

Posted by: Joker1 on April 2, 2008 at 10:42:50

Uh..yeah. You DO realize that there's no way in Hades *I* could've written that second post, right?
