    Yes I know, its the Sun what do you expect etc. However, here's a few choice selections from Helen Morrogh's comprehensive guide to the history of Batman on film:

    "Movie bosses for the 2001 film had so many requests from Hollywood stars to appear in the film that they had to find a way to please them all. They used Batman and Robin's rope-climbing scenes and had guest stars open the window to chat with them"

    "In the 2001 Batman movie, Robin has a tendency to use the word "holy"



    What in god's name is she talking about? Has anybody even heard of this phantom movie :confused:

    Not that I'd ever even read the sun but it seems this "reporter" is making up stuff
    Batman Begins was out in 2005

    Batman & Rob was 1997 - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118688/, no film in 200/2001/2002/2003...Catwomen was out in 2004 though if you can consider that anything to do with Batman :)

    Maybe she's related to that Australian wan who took her 8 year old to it and gave out about a 15s film being dark.

    That chick clearly took mushrooms and imagined some sort of chat show / comedy show where famous guests come on and chat to batman as he climbs a tall building.
    Saturday knight live I reckon.
    Late Knight with Christian Bale?

    Is getting your movie reviews from the Sun not a tad like getting your political news from rolling stone or NME or your sports news from Empire?
    Is it not more a case that they are reporting on a movie more to mark its release than to give detailed criticism? And if they had not reported anything on the movie whatsoever would this thread not read "Irish suns non existant dark knight coverage" followed by comments like "Man they must be on mushrooms to not have anything on it" or "That is Knight acceptable".
    Frankly giving out about the suns movie coverage is quite like slagging a footballer for not being able to do algebra, pointless and unfulfilling.
    I applaud whoever wrote the bit. However inaccurate it was at least they are trying to broaden the scope of a paper beyond what z lister is "bonking" what other z lister.
    Bravo

    I think she may have confused it with the 2001 film "Black Knight" which has nothing to do with Batman.
