I never cared for the Superman movies--boring. Spiderman was plain; Spiderman 2 was quite good. Both X-Men movies were kind of lifeless, and the gay subtext is just silly. I like the score CD to Batman Begins, though many won't because it's dark and doesn't have a heroic theme like the Elfman scores.

I don't know why, but no superhero movie has really hit me in the way the comics did when I was a kid. I think the speed of comics--you set the pace while reading them--is unable to be replicated in films.

I study comic books for their historic value as a window into the time they were written. America was a scary place back in the past when it must have resembled Russia during the Yeltsin years. Corruption in high places, grimy city, crazy criminals, etc.

Every era of the comic book genre and the heroes that populate the tales therein tell us something about our nation during that time.

Batman's always been the best superhero. Can't wait to see this movie.

Watched the new Batman movie. One word: WOW!

I only saw the first two Batman's and it's been years seen I've seen them, but I liked them.

I'm a fan of Christopher Nolan's for directing "Memento" and "Insomnia". Both are good movies. So I might see this most recent Batman if I hear more good FReeper reviews on it.

"Insomnia" with Al Pacino and Robin Williams

Batman is my favorite superhero because he's not an alien, he's not a mutant, he's just a guy on a mission.

I thought the Batman franchise was over and done with, but this one has breathed new life into it. Lots of fun, lots of action. Christian Bale is a terrific Batman.

This is awesome. I think Ebert (yes I still read his reviews, I've learned to decypher them for my taste whch I haven't managed for anybody else) nailed it with this one, as he said this is the Batman movie Batman fans have been hoping for. Leagues better than the first with Nicholson, and since that was leagues better than all its sequels we don't need to get into a comparison on that front.

And best of all they avoided the big mistake of the previous movies, Scarecrow is defeated but not killed. Always leave yourself open to re-use a good villain, there aren't that many, and when you kill all the good ones you're stuck with Poison Ivy and other lesser talents.

best Batman,

Best Batman movie.

after 69 years they finally got it right.
