Plots all wrong

Rating: 5/10 (14 July 2005)

It seems that no one during the production of this batman film decided it would be a good idea to actually watch the 1989 batman from which all pre film plots had been explained. Firstly, bruce's parents were killed by Jack Napier aka the joker, not some homeless bum after there wallets. At the end of the film the police hand batman a playing card of the joker in reference to a new case. if they had been attempting to allow the 1989 batman to follow they should have realised that Jack Napier wasn't the joker until batman drops him into the vat of acid. These perhaps minor flaws in the plot to some people, as my friend says " its all made up anyway, its not real ". As a batman fan i just think that they have ruined the film based on just those flaws and has made this the worse batman film of the series. Christian Bale was good as the batman and i rate him higher than George Clooney and Val Kilmer. I am rating this film 5/10 due to the rest of the film being fairly solid and explaining the few things none of the others have such as where he learns all his fighting skills and where he gets all his gadgets from. If this was taken as a film all on its own with no sequels i would have rated it 8/10.
