Rating: 1/10 (6 November 2005)

This batman movie is one of the worst ever. When I say worst, I mean even worse than Batman and Robin. That's how bad this movie is. Normally, I like Batman. I have been a fan for a long time, but no amount of being a fanboy can bring me to like this film. This is another case of a crappy movie using flash, "attitude" and good-looking people to sell itself, rather than plot, good casting choices for the title character, and whatnot. I can't believe critics gave this good reviews.
I won't try to reveal too much of the plot to you (not like it matters. If you are smart, you'll avoid this movie like the plague), but basically, the powers that be threw canon to the wind and created a craptactular crap-fest that basically was all about action, and moving pictures. I'm serious. They messed up Catwoman's plot and look what happened to that flick. They try to say that Ra's Al Ghul, an assassin, and one of Batsy's main adversaries in the comic, trained Batman. NO! Fearing losing the audience's attention, they gave Batman a tank and tried to make him Triple-X action hero guy. It was as if "they" tried to make Batman more extreme to appeal to a younger audience. Extreme just sucks period.
The plot was just wrong, as was Batman's origins and Christian Bale absolutely sucks as Batman. Oh yeah, lowering your voice to make yourself a bad@$$ mofo really make you a good Batman. Wrong. It doesn't work with him. Michael Keaton, a crappy actor and annoying person extraordinarily actually make a good Batman, and did a good scary guy voice. You don't, Bale.
And here's the bad news, they're going to make a sequel. What an the hell are they thinking?
