Re: Batman Begins
I haven't read a negative review of Batman Begins yet. All the reviews seem very positive. I want to see this film! While I liked Burton's approach (hated Schumacher's), no one has done a psychological study of Batman yet. I want to know what makes this guy tick. Supposedly, the new Batman film is going to do just that. *Finally*!

The new Batman comes out tomorrow and I am psyched! I don't know when I'll be going (I would order a ticket for tomorrow but I may have to work late).
Why it might rock:
- Has nothing in common with the previous crappy Batman movies.
- Awesome cast: Christian Bale is the perfect choice for Batman. And the following actors are no slouches:
Gary Oldman- Gordon (I think it's before he's a comissioner)
Morgan Freeman- the guy that arms and equips Batman (Fox or something?)
Michael Caine- Alfred
Liam Neeson- the guy that trains him
Katie Holmes- the requisite girly role
- This flick is all about Batman/Bruce Wayne the man, the character, the vigilante and his origins.
- It looks totally Dark Knight-ish, not the fantastic dreamscapes of Tim Burton (which are often quite nice, just not for Batman) or cheesy camp or homoerotic fetish look of the Schumacker films.
- None of the following actors will appear: Tommy Lee Jones, Jim Carrey, Arnold Schwarzeneggar
- Neither of the following character will appear: Bat Girl, Robin
- While the Batmobile in the Burton film looked pretty righteous, it was absurd to believe a car like that could be used for what Batman needs. The new one is an ugly, all-terrain monster.
I just hope this film is very violent.
