Good Special Effects, but inconsistent with what we have already seen in prior episodes

Rating: 5/10 (19 June 2005)

Although the film has excellent special effects, it turned me off by changing who killed Bruce Wayne's parents. DC Comics was involved with the original and they went with that. Now they are involved with this one and they decide to make a change. Whether or not that is how it really began in the comics, as has been mentioned to me, really doesn't make a difference. Many people paid good money back then and enjoyed the ride. Now with the enhancement of special effects they decide to do it again with the hope, I would bet, to make money even though it does not follow the "original." What's next, "Robin Begins?" There are so many good stories out there and a lot of them are original. It would be nice to see those types of films being made rather then go back to the same old same old.
