Batman Begins - brief thoughts

Watched Batman Begins the other week. Thought it was very good, as well as the first Batman film to actually be about Batman as comics readers know him. A dark film, which dealt with fear and with icons, and was well written overall. R'as' dialogue was terrible, however. But then, R'as is a difficult character to portray in live action. Too bombastic and self important. Also, he never called Batman "Detective", which was justified as Batman hadn't become the detective he will become, but still disappointing.

Still, a good film. Not as good a film as Batman Returns, but better than any of the others, and much truer to the origins than BR.
