Batman Begins

This has to be the first Batman movie I have ever liked enough to buy.
Christian Bale portrays the caped crusader better than any of his
predecessors. He is complicated, imperfect, and his motivations
questionable.
The movie adds a bit of realism to the fantasy that is Batman. There is
more focus on the technology (not much, but more than before), and
better explainations on where Batman comes from.
I would have liked to have seen the League of Shadows as a sort of
secret society that is a little less malevolent. Obviously this is not
the case since this movie tries to follow the comic books.

It was okay (saw it in a theater), but once is enough. My exposure
to Batman was the 1950s comics with the somewhat crude artwork, so
anything really high-tech and high budget doesn't seem like the
"real" Batman to me. Give me the 1942 serial.
Saw a few minutes of "Batman and Robin" on cable the other day.
Boy did that stink. I agree that "Batman Begins" was better.

I'll be endlessly ribbed about this, but imo the only Batman worth seeing is
the one with Adam West. The rest take themselves far too seriously.

The Adam West Bataman was thoroughly and deliberately campy. Amusing
for a while, eventually got old.
