Batman is Reborn
There's certainly some fun to campy versions of comic books -- such as the previous batman movies -- but for my money this is the way a comic book is meant to be adapted. At least this series.This movie has resonance and relevance. It has heart, soul, and action. It has an interesting, engaging plotline filled with multi-dimensional human beings, struggling with human emotions.All of which heightens the action-adventure because it gives it real stakes.Like Spiderman I & II, Batman Returns heralds a new age of comic book and action films. Films that are intelligent, written as well as any highbrow drama. And the audience interest is obvious. They bought tickets for these films. They didn't buy tickets to STEALTH, which lacked these resonant elements.Similar to the Lord of the Rings trilogy, these films all have the chance of resurrecting the power of myth in our movies. And as we become used to them, there is the very real chance of creating new myths for our new millennium.Truly, Batman has begun again in BATMAN BEGINS, and I truly appreciate the skillful and soulful work of Christopher Nolan and David S. Goyer.Derek RydallScreenwriter - Script Consultant - AuthorFounder, ScriptwriterCentral.com
