A movie (of sorts)

Rating: 1/10 (27 June 2005)

Teenagers have a tendency to be terribly self absorbed, boring people, and this is ably demonstrated not only by the teenage Bruce Wayne, but rather the whole movie too. The film centres around Bruce's boring attempt to overcome the pain of seeing his parents killed, his anger and so forth. Being a terribly wealthy kid he can indulge himself in becoming a criminal, and training to become a ninja of some sort so that he can fight crime. Very much like a teenager, he thinks his problems are worse than everyone else's, and his overly emotional response is the only way to deal with it. It's unutterable tosh of course, but to compound the sin, this pathetic self-absorbed garbage is hooked up to a pathetic, self-absorbed storyline. The ninja teacher guy (obviously) wants to destroy Gotham (obviously), and Batman has to save the day (obviously). There some monkeying about with a scientist, and then Batman is having a fight with the bad guy, who dies. Unfortunately, the whining little bat doesn't kop it too. Oh, and Tom Cruise's girl is in it too, but I guess you noticed that already. Anyway, teenagers should get out more and talk to girls, stop thinking that everyone else's life is better than theirs, and carefully avoid role models like this guy!
