      Well, who was around in 1989 (or 90, whatever)? At the time, keaton might have been the best choice, not the best overall choice, nah.

      Clooney was a terrible choice for Batman. Kilmer did a better job than him.

        No, Gepap stayed through the credits. gepap just thought maybe releaving who the bad guys are would be a spoiler. Thought I guess that matters more with the real bad guy.

        The guy who plays him is one of the weakest choices in casting, I think. The actor looks creepy, but I don;t buy him as a genius anything, and he is way too young.

          Apparently Mel Gibson was on the list (but he had to do Lethal Weapon 2). Alec Baldwin and Pierce Brosnan were also considered.

            Out of that group Keaton is definitelly the best. He has more of the brooding, something hidden aspect.

            The other guys would have been awfull, thought Baldwin not as bad as the other two.

              Baldwin was suprisingly good in 'The Hunt for Red October' and 'Malice' around the same time frame. He has those cold piercing eyes which can make him seem brooding.

                  Actually I haven't

                  And I love South Park, which makes it that much worse!

                    It's not very good. South Park is a lot better. If you rent it, though, be sure to rent the uncensored version. You'll be surprised...

                          Anyone else remember those anatomically correct stuffed dolls from the 70s? That's the kind of meaningless crap that I remember from my childhood.

                              Both the censored and uncensored versions feature puppet sex. But some parts of the sex scene have been removed in the censored version.

                                I just got back from a matinee of Batman Begins and for me it is the best of the Batman movies. I watched it with my 11 year old nephew. His favorite part was the Batmobile.

                                The film seemed to be inspired by and to follow the atomosphere of Batman: The Animated Series.

                                My only complaint was the fight scene camera work. It was much too close, as has already been pointed out.

                                For the most part it was emotionally engaging and that's very difficult for this kind of movie to pull off. I give it 4.5 out of 5 stars.

In Switzerland, they had brotherly love. They had 500 years of democracy and peace. And what did that produce? The cuckoo clock."
