For the non-burton batman, it's all the fault of the director. Schumaker killed the batman franchise. Nipples on armor? What the hell? I do agree that the Burton Batman was good. Burton being known for his dark and gothic interpretation, which is suitable to the setting of Batman's background and character. With Batman Begins, I think what they were doing was to depict the characters and settings as close to reality as possible, which would be quite a difficulty for Burton because of his imagination and his knack for experimenting. The Nolan Batman would fit into the category of realism, except that the costume designers had way too much fun. to be honest, I'd prefer the costume of the fanmade batman movie in Youtube, where you only see a cloth costume and all the muscles are pure flesh, not the synthetic type (see Batman Dead End on youtube. company firewall restricts me from searching it myself right now. Check this link instead: metacafe). What really amazed me was how detailed his cape was when he was trying to get up coming from a jump. How he blends in the shadows and how smooth his cape moves. See how relatively effective simple lightings would do without the neccessity of fancy gadgets and designer armor. I wish hollywood would learn from this.

The actors are certainly not an issue. I know they will do a superb job portraying their roles. Christian Bale is certainly no Georce Clooney. (I hated clooney for protraying batman gay. Die clooney, die!!!) It's the story I'm worried about. Well, irregardless, I will see the movie. I'm dead set on seeing it when they announced it.

Well, for one thing, I do hope that the story is as good as the titles name sake. Frank Miller re-imagined the image of Batman by giving him the title of Dark Knight, let's hope the movie not disappoint us. But at this stage, I'm not going to have a high expectation, lest I get disappointed.

I think that what they are doing here is to emphasize the begining of Batman. Batman is known to have the great detective skills and being always 2 steps ahead of everyone. But during these early years, Batman is still learning to adopt to his surrounding and his new persona. If I'm not mistaken, "Batman Begins" was based on the comic Batman: Year One with a mixture of others. His attitude and demeanor might be appropriate for the first movie. But in the second movie, I'm just not sure where they based this. I would like to see batman use his head more than his toys. And judging from the movie posters, I'm inclined to believe that this movie is a showcase of his toys. Better not judge before seeing the movie.

Have his henchmen do it for him? Of course judging from Griffiths character, he will take on Ganishka with strategy on mind, and not with brute force. He is the leader of the Band of the Hawks, the group that are known for conquering the unconquerable. If Griffith was unstopable when his men are composed of solely men, what more if his ranks include Zodd?

John and Mary were having dinner in a very fine restaurant. Their waitress, taking another order at a table a few paces away, noticed that John was ever so slowly sliding down his chair under the table while Mary acted unconcerned. Their waitress watched as John slid all the way down his chair and out of sight under the table. Still, Mary appeared calm and unruffled, apparently unaware that John had disappeared under the table. After the waitress finished taking the order, she came over to the table and said to the woman, "Pardon me, ma'am, but I think your husband just slid under the table." The woman calmly looked up and replied firmly, "Oh, no. He did not. In fact, he just walked in the front door."

One day, a man went to the doctor because he was getting a burning sensation every time that he pooped. The doctor told him that in order to get rid of it, he would need to clean out his colon once a week for the next month. He gave the man a cleaning rod and shoved it up his butt for the first cleaning. The man took the rod home and a week later tried to attempt the cleaning himself. However, he couldn't get it in at the right angle by himself so he called in his wife. She sympathetically shoved it up and cleaned his colon for him when he let out a gasp. "What is it Sweetheart?" asked his wife. "I just realized," answered the man "that when the doctor did it, he had both hands on my shoulders!"
