Loved the movie...but Batman didn't seem too smart
I agree with almost all the good reviews. Best Batman film, etc.. My only complaint (it's really more of a question) was why did Batman seem so mentally moribund?Where was the great mind, the detective side of him? There was a bit, but he seemed much more dependent on the intelligence of others (like the Freeman character) than coming up with his own ideas.One of the things I always loved about the character was that he's a "self-made" superhero. A HUGE part of that is his intellect, a feature that really sets him apart from a lot of super power superheroes. I got the feeling Bale's Batman had done his physical homework...but that he may have been cutting class to do it.That having been said, I can't really say that ANY of the live action Batman movies have ever done a good job of this (the best may have been the Adam West Batman...and what does THAT say?)That having been said, I'm going to buy this DVD...and I do not own any of the other Batman movies in my home collection.So there you go.
