Personally, while I went into it thinking that it would suck like an overpaid
whore, it turned out to not be quite as bad as it could've been.  Certainly
not good, but tolerable.  The artistry, naturally, really worked well, except
for Freeze's costume.  Didn't know who Clooney was playing half the time.

Well, I certainly saw it for the art, because once again the setting was
awesome.  Barely noticed what was going on in front of it.

Hey, I've heard that Adam West wants to be in the next film as "Uncle
Batman." He even has this idea of getting rid of all the pricy sets and
anatomically correct body armor ("Our bulges were natural," says West) and
making everything as cheap and campy as the 60's show. He even plans to
ride in on the old Batmobile. I hope the Warner executives laughed him off
the studio lot, but it'd STILL be an improvement over this movie.

Homoerotic?  Feh, whatever.  The show reeked of 1960's Expressionism, 
but I utterly fail to see what was mansexy about it.

No, it was the past few movies, especially "Batman and Robin" that 
smacked of it.  Joel Schumacher *is* gay, so eeehhhhh.  So femmy.  
Damnit, Schumacher, ya spoiled the franchise!  Tim Burton should open a 
can of whoop-ass near your director's trailer..

I hate being reminded of how bad this movie is.  It's the only Batman 
movie I am ashamed to admit my wife owns-- she had to pick the worst 
one.

Well, now there's to be a Superman vs. Batman movie so
that may or may not give people something more to copmplain about.
