[Teuthida]

As an action movie I guess it was decent. As a Batman movie it flat out sucked. I can't believe I actually hated it more than when I read the script. While Bale does a fine Bruce Wayne he doesn't get Batman...AT ALL. I wasn't award Batman popped some steroids or whatever makes him so god damn "argh" everytime he puts on the cowl. There were a few scenes I enjoyed but overall I can't believe I went to see this thing in the theaters. Though was nice sticking Mr. Zsasz into the mix. And what's with the pronunciation of "Ra's"? Has B:TAS been wrong all that time? *sigh* What a disappointment.

And some people even after watching it don't get that this is separate from the other movies. One of the girls I was with thought Scarecrow was Poison Ivy's sidekick (she was thinking of Bane who they ruined in Batman & Robin) and thought Joe Chill was going to become Mr. Freeze.)

Burton's movies completely and utterly own this thing.
