I've come to realize that the last two batman movies with Christian Bale are the best ones so far. Yes, that's a personal choice and i don't expect everyone to agree. But look at the previous movies: they all were tongue-in-cheek projects that were trying to be serious without any substance. I mean, who would cast Micheal Keaton as Batman??? SERiously!!!! Mr. Mom as Batman... who wooda thunk it?rofl.
No, I think they got it right with the details about Batman in these latest flics. Batman Begins is excellent background for who Batman/Bruce Wayne really is and the latest movie has continued the story, what with Two Face and other characters that don't look ridiculously out of place like in the older movies. I did like Jim Carey as the Riddler but, before Batman Begins, all of the characters remind me of the Batman T.V. series of the late '60's: Adam West (Batman), Burt Ward (Robin), Cesar Romero (Joker), Frank Groshin (Riddler), Vincent Price (Egghead), etc. Watch those and you'll see what I mean.
At least the latest flics are somewhat believable, compared to its predecessors. And check out the excellent choice of Batman: Christian Bale!!! Almost all of his movies are awesome and weird. Weird in a good way...lol.
