Product: Batman Begins (Two-Disc Deluxe Edition) (2005)
Rating: 2.0
Christian Bale plays the darker, violent Batman.
Most of us remember the Batman (1966) movie and the tv series (1966-68) starring Adam West and Burt Ward. The cartoons as well.Then in 1989, began a series of four Batman films:Batman (1989), starring Michael Keaton.Batman Returns (1992), starring Michael Keaton.Batman Forever (1995), starring Val Kilmer.Batman Returns (1997), starring George Clooney.And now Christian Bale will play the much darker version of "Batman". Bale had lost a horrifying amount of weight down to 100 pounds for the role in The Machanist (2004) and quickly had to beef up and put the muscle back up and out for the Caped Crusader role. This adult "Batman" version is not to be thought of with the version Michael Keaton began with in 1989.BATMAN BEGINS (2005) is a brand new metropolitan (metrosexual) Batman as originally written when known as "The Dark Knight", to begin a new era of films. This "Batman" is a harder, more violent one.This story might be based on "The Dark Knight" comic books or "The Batman" film serial (1943) starring Lewis Wilson and Douglas Croft.2005 has not been a good year for remakes as the stories have been poorly written and badly cast.Perhaps the next "Batman" film in 2008 will have more potential.Special Features are only available on your personal computer's ROM-Drive.The Dark Knight (Widescreen Single-Disc Edition)was released July 18, 2008. Heath Ledger as "The Joker" in one of his final films. His last film,The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus(2009).Update: The Dark Knight Rises will be released July 20 2012.
