No argument here.

Hmm, I'm not even sure what Bale looks like, but if he's hot that will certainly increase my enjoyment by 43.488889999999%!

Being hotter than Holmes isn't exactly much of an achievement though.

Not bad, not really the kind of man I go for though.

"Go for" being when I'm wanking, of course.
 
It's like being a better actor than Keanu Reeves.

Oh, wait it's not really like that at all I because I do seriously want to bone Katie Holmes.

Keanu Reeves I would only bone if I were kind of drunk and he was being all sweet and whatnot.

He was hotter when being fucked by Ewan McGegor in Velvet Goldmine, I will admit.

The best Batman movie was the one with the dead baby.

But they should bring Ra's Al Ghul back if only to do a movie version of the mid-70's "Bat-Murderer" arc from the comics, involving Ra's and his daughter Talia. That was a great story...

I found it funny that they would even consider including in the film that temporary 1970s R.A.G. rabbit trail. It was truly a lame abberation of the disco age, 40 years after the Batman we all knew and loved had started.

Most positive-sounding viewers have told me they liked the movie because it was a good introduction to the whole Batman thing, which they hadn't paid much attention to before. As to the '60s series, it became little more than a superhero parody, which means they could have used an unknown superhero, instead of dragging Batman down to roll in the crud of camp. (The Tick succeeded greatly with it's own in-house superhero satire.)

Probably the best thing about Batman Begins, though, is that Robin was nowhere to be seen. His character was a forced one anyway, appearing a year after the Batman comic had started, in order to "kiddie up" the book and increase sales to children. (Much like George Lucas did when he ruined Star Wars I with that stupid Jar-Jar Binks garbage.)

Batman could have easily been portrayed as a lone, take no prisoners vigilante in the early '60s by Clint Eastwood - if Hollywood had ever wanted to actually get at the heart of the matter, that is. Remember that the original Batman killed his enemies for real, including using a gun. But so far Hollywood hasn't dared to get THAT close to the real Batman, though.

So we'll just have to wait until someone does. Tarantino, are you listening?

But who's to say that very oldest Batman is the "real" one? What if there was a Batman before that - never revealed to the public - who tickled his enemies to death with a feather duster?
