I think Bale needs therapy. Dude could really pull a scary-knight. I could almost see Nolan behind him at the shots, with a tweezer squizzing his parts to get that performance. straight fuckin scary. reminded me of Year One, Bruce roaring as a technique he tell us he learned in Africa (It'd be cool if the movie mentioned he had all sorts of other trainers. Ra's Clan would be his "Magister Templi"  , i imagined). Concerning Bruce, i'd hoped he would be more of a serious bloke at times when he is alone with Alfred. But I thought his actions through out the film pretty much implied that seriousness/ bitterness which would be in his characterization at hypothetical "serious, dark bitter moments". Nolan and Goyer injected all in, even if it was implied, said by not saying it, so it could keep the excellent pace.
And, sorry for bringing this up. Was a discussion from months ago. Were you guys really serious about wanting the uniform like the Mazzucchelli version??? That whole Adam West type of thing??? I liked the costume in the film, though could be better if they had gone away from the previous films for good and done something along the line of Lee Bermejo's costume in "Batman Deathblow"... but even that cool, doesn't make me accept the fact Batman would go fight baddies with guns in simple fabric (the guy is trillionaire. he CAN afford something better. AND concerning Mazucchelli's/West costume: would you be scared or understand the baddie's fright with that outfit???).
Nolan made the costume emerging-from-but-never-leaving the shadow. damn good shot choices. There were glitches concerning the costume, but I rather see them being brought up only ten years from now when they'll trash this film 'cause they'll be doing Dark Knight. And I hate it when forums criticize some little thing and I can't look away from it when i go see the film!!!
The movie was damn good. Not even Katie Holmes as the "must -have romantic affair" bothered me. She had a important and justified place in the overall. And she was a whole lot better in her performance than Kim Basinger or Nicole Kidman.

Everything pretty much made me feel it had it's place, all tied up like a puzzle and it was an brave way of showing the events. Good pace.
But I still have problems with plots where the whole town/ world (in Batman, seems to me at times like Gotham is the whole world and there's nothing beyond. I love that) is in immediate jeopardy (feels too campy-Adam-West to me). The plot was damn fine on the scheme of Year One/ Dark Knight 1 with that "Corrupt, Crime, Madness, Poverty & Associates". But come to think of, that whole "mystic conspiracy that puts the town in immediate danger" pays off. After all, they "created" Batman, and justifies him being a superhero and making him more... grand. Simply put, a superhero. It all fits quite perfectly.
Gotham was pretty nice. Though I expect that in the next films there will be something more of a "this is a city that creates people like Batman and Joker". The BEST description i ever read of Gotham was in the brazillian print of Year One, where there's a introduction text by Frank Miller (which i'm not a big fan...) and it's perfect dead on description of Gotham.
and i hope there won't be so many humourous droppings as well. that was something that REALLY bothered me (the confusing action scenes i really didn't had much problem with) |
