Batman Begins ★★★½

[fallenpegasus]

Finally saw Batman Begins. One has to ignore the comicbook science fiction elements (microwaves dont work like that, even if they did, they would also vaporize every person in the vicinity, and the poison would have been flushed into the sewers as fast as it got added to the watermains), but it was well worth watching.

I think it was a better movie, and a better "Batman" movie, then the Tim Burton version. (Can you believe it was 16 years ago?) Mainly because that one was really more "Jack Nicholson's scenery chewing Joker", and this was more about Bruce Wayne, and what it is that he does, why he does it, and the people who help him do it.

Can you imagine how messy that would actually be? Gremlins all over again with getting in the microwave. I did enjoy this batman flick. It was about Batman. Not about fancy nipple costumes, not about special effects and the use of the psychotropic drug was great. No big fight between weasely psychologist and Batman. Just POW! Yes, the comic book science was a little iffish, but hey, it's a comic book!
