We actually went for a late night movie - and managed to catch Batman Begins. I feel like the last person on earth who has seen it. And I have to admit that it does deserve the rave reviews. Never have I seen a movie so faithfully based on the comic book - and I'm pleased to see Bruce Wayne's tortured life fleshed out just as I imagined it. Christian Bale plays the role of the Bat and I actually liked him in it ( unlike his predecessors ). I've always had an odd fascination for the tortured Bat but oddly enough none of the Batmen on screen have actually given me that particular zing. I got a zing from Hugh Jackman's Wolverine, I got a zing from Chris Evan's Human Torch and I definitely got a huge zing for Brad Pitt's Mr Smith but nothing from Christian Bale's Batman. Sure, he's cute, built, sexy and all... but no zing.
So that's about the only downside I can think of. Well, apart from the fact that Katie Holmes doesn't play a convincing district attorney. Please, she looks like she barely escaped from Dawson's Creek.

Why no nookie? I am a new reader to your blog. Are you Ex lovers?
You're definitely not the last person to watch it - I still haven't!
I've always liked George Clooney in Batman Returns. Not because he was a good Batman, but because well, he's George Clooney.
In tights.
-ahem-
Yeah, Brett, you're right. No nookie cause we're ex-lovers :)
Jay, you haven't seen it?! Go catch it now!
