I legit cannot wait. One theater here is showing the series of them then at midnight showing the new one. Not sure if they are doing that where you guys are but it's pretty cool.

About to pre-order some opening night tickets but nobody's answering me about going with me. If nobody answers, then I'm not going to go because I hate going to the theaters alone.

After the RottenTomatoes fiasco and the whining of fanboys on Roger Ebert's Facebook (because he had the nerve to give it THREE stars, not FOUR), Batman fans are making a convincing case for themselves as being the worst fandom of all. Give me Beliebers or Twihards any day.

Already got my ticket for Thursday @ midnight. I'll wait to see it in IMAX in a month or so when the crowds aren't so big.
2 more days!!!!

Agreed. Threatening someone's life? uhh....I didn't know people took Batman that seriously.

People take everything too seriously.
I'm not defending it, but let's be real for a moment... these aren't real threats that anyone would ever go through with & this isn't the first time fandom has spawned these exact kinds of situations. This shit happens all the time with fans of sports or any other kind of hugely popular entertainment. Emotional losers get too invested & can't handle it when things don't go their way.
Anyways... I just watched Batman Begins & The Dark Knight back-to-back in preparation for tomorrow night. TDKR is less than 24 hours away!!!! ;D

I agree with Vyper, this is nothing new. It's seems a bit tame actually compared to some of the stuff people said they were going to do to Beiber.

Truth. Some Cena comments baffle me now that I think about it.

The people who speak out against Cena and Bieber are vocalizing a dislike for Cena and Bieber, not the journalists who defend their merits. And what makes the Batman fans particularly suspicious is that they're blindly supporting a product that they haven't even experienced. At least Bieber fans, for example, have heard the music, just as Cena haters have been exposed to a lot of Cena's body of work.
I think it's a particularly sad view of our culture when reasoned criticism is silenced by mass zealotry. Anti-Cena sentiments are often thrown against young children, for example (I'm certainly not defending such behavior), not Dave Meltzer when he glows about a segment or a match that Cena was involved in. In Batman's case, a single negative review prompted an anti-intellectual lynch mob against journalists within moments.
Additionally, one of the critics who received the most flack was Christy Lemire of the Associated Press. Many of the comments were vile and entirely misogynistic, which is a bit different than people whining that they're tired of seeing Cena on top.
I'm not suggesting that there is something inherent to comic book culture that provokes this behavior. It is interesting, though, that something similar happened with The Avengers - Samuel L. Jackson even tweeted that AO Scott, certainly one of the most accomplished and studied film critics in the country, should lose his job for not liking it enough.
In short: fanboy culture is particularly dangerous because, well, the word boy. Hell hath no fury like a teenage boy scorned.
