Wow! Another person who uses the terms "jimmies" AND "sprinkles?" I thought jimmies were a Northern-only slang. The first time I asked for them down here in the South they looked at me like I had four heads.

For the record, I only have three heads, so that person was a douche.

Don't want to be a buzzkill, but that isn't a trailer from the first Batman movie. Those are just scenes from the first film spliced together to resemble the new trailer.

When I saw the scene in the new trailer where batman is speeding towards the joker on his bike and the joker takes a shot and makes him wipe out, I immediately thought about the scene in the original with the batplane and the oversized gun. I didn't realize how closely tied together the trailers were though.

I'm sure this was a homage to the original, rather than an indication of a lack of creativity. Pretty cool actually.

Movie trailers are obviously an essential ingredient in the marketing of a film. Kudos to the party who put this together. There seems little doubt that the original trailer served as far more than casual inspiration for the latest version.

Hollywood ran out of new ideas decades ago. Fascinating to see that extends even down to the roots of movie marketing.

As the fusion between CGI and film marches forward, new movies will simply be clones of old with only the score, virtual draperies and 3-D skins changed to create the latest blockbuster.
