[QUOTE="Richards, post: 6285546, member: 508"] My problem with the Christopher Nolan "Batman" trilogy is that Batman doesn't appear in them. Oh, sure, there's a guy named Bruce Wayne who dresses up like a bat to fight crime, but that's pretty much where the parallels end. The guy in these films is a wuss. He hides in his mansion for 8 years because he's upset about what happened to his buddy Two-Face. That's worth repeating: while crime runs rampant through Gotham City, this bozo [i]hides in his house[/i] -- for 8 years! And then to cap it all off, he fakes his own death so he doesn't have to be Batman anymore. He abandons Gotham City so he can run around Europe with Catwoman. ...I'm sorry, I don't know who that impostor is, but that definitely isn't Batman. The Batman I know has dedicated his entire life to being Batman, so he can fight back against the criminals who plague his city. The Batman I know sees Bruce Wayne as a part he must occasionally play between the times when he's doing his [i]real[/i] life's work, fighting crime as Batman. The guy in the movie trilogy has it the wrong way around: he apparently sees his role as Batman getting in the way of the fun stuff he'd like to do as Bruce Wayne. He jumped at the first chance to dump the whole Batman role so he could go party. That said, I don't actually hate Christopher Nolan. He's made some other decent movies. I just wish when they were planning on making a Batman movie trilogy, they had given the reins to someone who would actually have Batman appear in them, instead of Nolan's pale imitation.
