[QUOTE="Dark Jezter, post: 2339928, member: 1015"] That's one of the only things I didn't like about Burton's Batman; Burton seems to have did away with Batman's oath to never kill the criminals he hunts (the only time Batman will kill a criminal is if it's the absolute only way to save innocents). Still, Burton's Batman still shows more mercy than Frank Miller's Batman in [i]The Dark Knight Returns[/i] story arc, which nearly turned Batman into the Gotham City equivalent of the Punisher. The Lord of the Rings films clearly don't take place in any "real world" either, but I'll be damned if they don't have some serious, dramatic characters. Ditto the Star Wars films, which clearly takes place in a space fantasy setting but has produced some of the most memorable and beloved characters in movie history. I don't think that the slightly stylized Gotham City from Tim Burton's films diminish the characters in any way. And yet, neither did Bale. In my opinion, the only actor who really matched the look and physique of Batman from the comics was George Clooney in Batman & Robin. However, I still prefer Keaton over Bale. Ah yes, Christian Bale's "raspy bat-voice" he used whenever he was in costume. It was the only part of the movie that I really couldn't stand, mainly because it sounded more silly than intimidating. Both Rachel Dawes and Vicki Vale were pretty useless. Easily the weakest characters in their respective movies. I definately disagree with this one. After two viewings, I found Zimmer's score for Batman Begins to be pretty forgettable. Elfman's score, on the other hand, is one of my favorite movie scores of all time. I disagree that the fight scenes were better in Batman Begins, mainly because it was hard to [i]see[/i] what was happening; shame on Christopher Nolan for deciding to use the shaky cam close-up technique for fight scenes that so many movie directors seem to love nowadays.
