If I had been alone in the theater....

Christian Bale will always be my Batman. Sorry Michael, Val and George, that's just the way it is. I've always loved Christian Bale, and yes, I had a picture of him in my locker, a shot from Little Women. I would have put up Gabriel Byrne too, but for some reason Bop and Seventeen did not deem a 40+ year old man suitable high school locker pin-up material. Little do they know.

I loved Batman Begins. It was intricate and it was fun. What more could you ask for? And the push-up scene (you know the one) was near about worth the price of admission. If you haven't seen it yet, you gotta go. Katie Holmes wasn't bad either, and often the supporting characters were more interesting than Bruce Wayne. And for once I found the villain and the source of terror to be truly frightening. Not being a big superhero genre kind of gal, I think I will definitely pick Batman as my fav. Although for alter-ego, it's gotta be Clark Kent; boyish charm, glasses, a newspaper man....

I should probably end this post now, huh?

Thanks cindy, since reading your post, the wife wants to go see Batman begins...right now...even though it's 5.30am.

I can tell you're new to the superhero genre though. Michael Keaton is Batman, always will be.

...Damn, and the wife likes him to.

Bale was a very good Batman, no doubt about it! The script was well done, and the origin story is always the strongest of any series.

'Batman Begins' is the best Batman movie since the first Michael Keaton iteration, with Jack Nicholson as Joker.

You've gotta watch that one, Cindy!

I liked it a lot too, but I gotta say that Keaton was a pretty sweet Batman. The pushup part was impressive, even for us guys. He was pretty muscly in that scene.

I know, gotta see the first two Batman movies.

What? There were no crack of dawn showings?

I'm pretty sure I'll never have the opportunity to say "My cinema buddy is in Italy this weekend" But it would be fun!
