I would have to agree with you there John, because unless you’re a Batman lover, ya just don’t wanna waste the mula. Of course, I enjoyed every pretty penny to go and see it.

Bale was a good Batman very credible, I do admit it, but his performace overall felt short. He did not have the emotional depth that the character required in my opinion. To be the complete character he needed to not just be tormented but always intelligent and able to balance himself. I also did not like the fact that the “Detective” angle was not represented. Batman is also supposed to be the ultimate detective… I guess Morgan Freeman’s character filled those shoes in.

I agree with you on the fighting scenes in that I woudl’ve liked to have seen more of the action instead of the blurs. Like you, I “got” the point of why they did it — but I really like to see a good action sequence. Where we disagree is that I liked the acting a little better, I think, esp. from Bale. I have to admit that I thought Liam Neeson was Ra from the get-go (I’ve never read the comics, so it was all new to me).
