Batman Begins good? Give me a break!
Potential Bat-villains for the 3rd flick: Killer Croc or Bain. Something more visceral and potentially horrific for the next movie providing a nice departure from the entertaining superhero thriller which was 'Dark Knight'.
Anything would be better than 'Batman Begins'. Whilst 'Knight' was a hit, 'Begins' was most definately a miss and I do not agree with the people who constantly find the need to wax lyrical about it. The action scenes were insipid and pedestrian, and the Scarecrow was such a poorly written and conceived character that I actually found him offensive. Matters were not helped by having Katie Holmes doing her best Joey Potter from 'Dawson's Creek' rendition throughout the whole film and the reimagining of Batman's training, whilst necessary, never really sat well with me.
I find it impossible to understand how people can just gloss over these faults. Yes the Batmobile was cool, and yes having Micheal Caine play Alfred and Morgan Freeman play Lucius Fox was clever casting but I'm sorry folks, this does not a good film make.
