Pure garbage; The worst Batman ever

Rating: 1/10 (17 February 2006)

Worse even than 'Batman and Robin', worse the the Adam West/Burt Ward flick, both of which at least had some comic camp value. Everything about this movie is bad. The acting, the writing, the music, the effects, the direction, especially the direction, everything. In fact the only good thing I can say is that I didn't recognize Rutger Hauer, which is fortunate for him. Unfortunately I did recognize Michael Caine, who, though he has done some mega-clunkers just for the money, should be ashamed of this piece of trash. If he's lucky, he'll be dead by the time they do a sequel (UGH!!!!!). I mean what was the point of portraying Batman as an ugly, stupid, fascist bully?
How anyone could have possibly even like this abomination is totally beyond me! It just goes to show the current state of criticism. I mean is there anyone left who knows trash when they see it? Or are they just afraid of losing their jobs by panning a big budget release. I'm just glad I didn't waste any money on seeing it.
