[QUOTE]Originally posted by Zefram: [QB] The title of this thread is appropriate, I think. Until seeing Batman Begins, I had thought that Tim Burton's two Batman movies were pretty good and that the subsequent two ruined the franchise. However, Batman Begins showed me exactly how flawed even Burton's Batman movies were. Not only did Batman Begins explain so many things that really should have been explained before (e.g. where he gets his "wonderful toys", where his training and stealth techniques came from, why the bat, etc.) but we finally get to see a Bruce Wayne who shows sufficient emotional and psychological damage to make you start to believe that someone that screwed up and with the means at his disposal would dress up in a costume and go about the city foiling criminals. It also helped to finally see what kind of people Bruce Wayne's parents were and what a tragedy their murder was. Finally, Bale's Batman is infinitely more menacing than Keaton's Batman, who spoke in a near whisper and intimidated criminals mostly by getting up after having been shot. Bale's Batman clearly shows the anger that Wayne has been consumed with a sharp growl and truly intimidating techniques, i.e. his little game of repeatedly dropping a crooked detective in order to get information out of him. I seem to remember the Animated Series Batman resorting to similar techniques on occasion. Did anyone else get the impression that it was Batman himself who gave rise to Gotham's costumed villains? At the end, it was stated that several of Arkham's inmates had never been captured. I assume that several of them may have personally seen Batman as he ran through the halls trying to escape the police. Perhaps the image of a costumed freak may have put some ideas into their criminally insane minds. [/QB][/QUOTE]
