Batman's done pretty solid in the box office too, but it's not putting up Spiderman numbers. And that should be expected, this is the return of the Dark Night concept of Batman which is innately not as marketable, and it's got the baggage of the previous movies (which mostly stunk) to try to shake.

Even though BB came out two weeks before WOTW it has been passed in grosses which restores my faith in people's good taste.

Toby McQuire makes Spiderman happen. Plus it is light in delivery and the audience can sit back and watch it in essence over and over again like reading a comic book.

Batman, in my view, is too heavy for a youthful audience. But Batman has no super powers, everything he does he has to create from science and/or mechanics.

I skipped the Wedding Crashers and popped in to see The Bad News Bears. Much better movie, in my view; if you want an hour of laughter. Plus, in part, sends a good message to the kids. You catch the American Flag waving in the end.
