[QUOTE="Dark Jezter, post: 2339197, member: 1015"] I think you kind of missed the point of the 1960s Batman TV series: it wasn't [i]supposed[/i] to make people start taking comic books seriously as an art form. The show was a parody of the comic books, and a pretty brilliant one at that. The show had lots of action to appeal for kids, and some surprisingly clever humor that adults would get. Oh, and who could forget Burgess Meredith's great portrayal of the Penguin? Personally, I thought that the 1960s Batman TV series was great. :) Back to the topic, though: I gave Batman Begins a 9 out of 10. It was great in almost every respect, but I didn't really like Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne/Batman. Plus, his "raspy bat-voice" when he was in-costume struck me as more silly than intimidating. I also didn't like the "extreme close-up shaky cam" that nearly every movie fight scene seems to use nowadays (hell, even Lord of the Rings used that technique in some scenes, why do so many filmmakers use it?).
