I was watching Batman Begins for the millionth time when I noticed in the scene where he buys the hotel (because his girlfriends are in the pool), he whips out a fountain pen to write the cheque. Any idea what his pen is?

 

I'm trying to load a screen capture but it's not working.

Noticed the same thing when I re-watched it last year. Would be very happy to know if anyone can identify that pen.

+1 as to the scene. Couldn't get a clear view. My guess would be a Black Parker Duofold?

I'm curious now too. I've gotten a hold of WB via Twitter and asked, and I'm getting contact info for Batman Begins's script supervisor to see if she remembers.

 

I can interweb good.

Don't know what pen it is, but something I know for sure.

 

Even Batman doesn't know how to hold or write with a Fountain Pen.

 

Look at the nib, it's flexed (more like bent) due to the pressure he's putting on it. I highly doubt you need to 'flex' a pen to sign a cheque.

Probably not, but could this be a Waterman Man 100?

 

I think it's a pretty good guess, and the closest match.

Conceptual mistake: this should be a hooded nib pen :o

 

It's Bruce Wayne; either a Mont Blanc 149 or a stainless steel Lamy 2000 that's been gold-plated.

 

Or maaaybe a vintage "51", as he has the vintage cars, house, etc. to go with it.

It's Bruce Wayne using the pen, so something with a huge flashy nib.

 

If they'd shown Batman signing a waiver form, then yes, definitely hooded, and probably caped too.

 

Oh, and it has to be a hard nail nib, evidently Batman can't handle flex.

That metal band at the blind cap is pretty distinctive, but I can't ID it...

...still waiting to hear back from WB and the script people. Sent an email to WB today instead of just tweeting them.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
