Finally . . . They Got It Right!
Batman is one of the greatest superheros of all time and yet over the years we have insulted him with crappy movies. Tim Burton's Batman movies were good but they didn't match. Gotham City and the overall look of the film from movie 1 to 2 is inconsistent. Joel Schumacher's two Batman films were disgraceful . . . he tried to make it campy like the old TV show . . . we are just too intelligent for that . . . whoever got the bright idea to make Alicia Silverstone Batgirl was obviously Clueless (not to mention almost destroyed the series for good.) Let's move on and put all that behind us. Batman Begins is not only a rebirth for the Batman franchise but it is also one of the best superhero flicks to date. If you haven't seen this movie yet . . . you need to. Christian Bale is a great Bruce Wayne and a great Batman . . . unlike some of his predecessor who could only pull off one or the other. The new twist on the Batman myth is so well conceived. Great story, great cast, great acting, awesome special effects . . . I was totally satisfied. I heard this is to be a trilogy like Spiderman . . . I hope the other two films will hold up to the standard of the first
