Christian Bale's Sh*t Begins...

Rating: Null/10 (8 November 2011)

You could also put it this way: the *rse-end of C.B. smells like a bat.
Why on EARTH and in the name of all the SAINTS in HEAVEN did they cast C.B. for the role of Bruce Wayne?
A British director? Yes of course. These days they can't find American directors. The director of memento and insomnia, apparently suffers from insomnia himself.
There are a job lot of British/Irish actors: Michael Caine, Liam Neeson, C.B. Gary Oldman, Cillian Murphy etc. etc. Only consolation (for U.S. born Batman fans) is that Morgan Freeman/Katie Holmes are in it.
Story/plot? Could have used some finesse... We already know how Bruce Wayne's parents were killed and how he vowed to uphold justice and protect the weak blah,blah,blah...
The introduction of Henri Ducard a.k.a. Ra's Al Ghul played by Neeson is the pillar of the plot. Apparently Al Ghul trains Bruce Wayne(?) who later becomes a thorn in Al Ghul's side. So why on earth would Al Ghul train him in the first place? (laughable plot!)
Wayne later uses the gadgets made by his dad's biz and uses them to create the early Bat-sh*t-suit(version 1) and save the day.
So there you have it kiddies, if your suffering from measles, flu, diarrhea, it would HIGHLY recommend this flick.
