[QUOTE="sabrinathecat, post: 6285385, member: 89838"] Go to Youtube. Look up "Everything Wrong With" and find the entries for the movies. Problems: Casting Bale cannot project emotion. He's worse than Kurt Russel (who can do emotion, but usually chooses not to). I haven't seen Bale express anything like a real emotion since Reign of Fire. He seem to specifically pick characters that are emotionally repressed. Michael Caine is a great actor, but Alfred is NOT supposed to be that snarky. Then made a big deal about the Japanese actors to play Raz al Ghul, but it was obvious from the very beginning that he was not going to be the villain, because he wasn't threatening. Villains: Raz al Ghul is supposed to be pronounced "Raish". His plot and motivations are only thinly glossed over. The actual plan is idiotic and flawed. ScareCrow is more of a comedy side-kick than a serious threat. Joker is an insanely clever gangster (still all about the money), not an agent of chaos. Bane is just about nothing like as depicted. Catwoman is just about nothing like as depicted (even though she was the best part of the 3rd movie) While there was a lot of potential, the first movie was unsatisfying, the second one was only successful due to Heath Ledger, and completely hinged on him, and the third one was just dumb. Tim Burton's first Batman movie brought us the Bruce Timm cartoon, which brought us Superman: The Animated Series, which brought us Batman: Beyond, which brought us Justice League, which brought us JLU. Nolan's version brought us... Brave and the Bold? maybe? No, not even that. I am far more impressed with the overall quality of Burton's version and vision that Nolan's. Aside from the CGI, Burton's was superior in every respect. Like Lost, or Twin Peaks, Nolan's version is very much flavor of the moment, winning temporary acclaim, but a decade later I doubt it will be more than a footnote in most people's minds. [/QUOTE]
