Batman Begins Talkback *Spoilers Version*

[Professor S]

Just saw it, and it was great. Christopher Nolan definitely did his homework on The Batman and borrowed a lot from the right source: Frank Miller. Frank Miller is the master of The Batman with his seminole tales The Dark Knight Returns and Batman: Year One, in fact much of Batman Begins appears to be directly influenced by Year One.

BTW, IGN just voted those two stories as the #1 and #2 greatest Batman stories ever told. Check them out. Arkham Asylum is a great one too, as is The Killing Joke.

Back to the movie, Christian Bale did a great job, but he may have gone a little over the edge with the snarling even though I know thats what they were going for. Gary Oldman IS Commisoner Gordon. And even though they screwed with one of the greatest foes in Batman's history, Ra's Al Ghul, Liam Neison does a great job playing the dual roles of Ducard and Al Ghul.

Oh yeah, and this is THE BEST Batmobile EVER. Hands down.
