I think this is a bad move on WB's part. As evidenced here, many people are not fans of 3D. I'm in the camp of only liking it when it has a purpose. I saw Monsters vs. Aliens in 3D & loved it. Of course, it had so many references to the original 3D movies that IT MADE SENSE to be in 3D. I also saw Up in 3D & thought it was pretty neat. But I don't think seeing it in 2D (now that I have it on home video) really detracts anything from it. I doubt I'll see many more movies in 3D though, as my wife also complains that it hurts her eyes & gives her serious headaches. And unless it's something like Monsters vs. Aliens that really has a reason for me to want to see it in 3D, I don't feel the extra ticket price is worth it.
EDIT: I agree Joseph! Either that, or films shot with IMAX like those sequences of The Dark Knight. Of course, IMAX is just 70mm turned sideways. But that means the frame is (roughly) 70mm tall, instead of wide! (making it significantly wider).
