Ok this has nothing to do with the movie, but eh it was mentioned. I honestly have never seen the appeal in The Dark Knight Returns. I just don't get it. As far as alternative futures goes, I would prefer the world of Batman Beyond.
Year One is good stuff.
But personally, I prefer Jeph Loeb as my Batman writer. Long Halloween. Dark Victory. Superman/Batman first few issues. Hush to a degree.

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.

I like the snarling to a degree. Like when he had Flass. But to me the voice was too inconstint (spelling?) sometimes it sounded like an animal, other times it sounded more human like and then there were times it just sounded like Bruce.
I thought they did well with Ra's. Especially eliminating his supernatural attributes at least for this movie (they weren't really needed in my book, maybe a sequel can look into it).

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

And yeah it was a pretty bad ass batmobile. Probably won't win any beauty contest.
