Batman Begins
If you haven't seen Batman Begins, you probably should. It's really a great movie. It's not really anything like the original Michael Keaton Batman movie, and no where near the other ones. Keaton, George Clooney, Val Kilmer all must bow in the dark Batmanish splendor that is Christian Bale. That guy is stinkin awesome.
And the Batmobile is just lame after this movie. Sad, isn't it.
This movie really was a lot of fun. It does a good job of filling in all the back story. And it was done well, too. The explanations weren't all that far fetched. It all worked together well.
Anyone who reads The Internet Movie Database is usually good for a little trivia on their favorite movies. So here is my fav. piece of IMDB trivia for Batman Begins: (this is a cut and paster)
# This Batsuit has no nipples, unlike the one George Clooney wore in Batman & Robin (1997).
That should explain about 2/1000's of the reasons why this movie is the difinitive of the Batman series.
Here's to hoping that it's the beginning of the NEW batman series.
