Batman :: essays research papers

The best part of Batman Begins was its ending... and Im not being sarcastic. As I was watch the last scene of the movie, I motivationed to jump out of my crapper and cheer when Jim Gordon handed Batman the Joker playing card. Its been a while since I reacted with such glee at the promise of a sequel (usually its to a greater extent of, "hay nako, may part two pa yan").Yes, the movie was that good. Without head this is the best Batman movie ever made. Finally we have a frivol away adaptation that shows the essence of who Batman is not a superhero, but an ordinary goose (as ordinary as a billionaire playboy can be) doing extraordinary things in the name of justice. This is what sets Batman apart from all the Supermans and Spidermans out there (and what makes him my favorite fishy book hero of all time) he is human, so very human, which makes him, and his budge for right, all the more real. That, and his perennial angst, which I can totally cogitate to. Haha.I wish I c ould meet director Chris Nolan so I could shake his hand for rescuing the Batman franchise from its shlock purgatory that was Schumacher-Land. Hats (and cowls) off to underappreciated actor Christian Bale, who filled in the Batsuit quite nicely (and his gravelly Batman voice was agnize on), but more importantly, he gave both Bruce Wayne and Batman true character. And of trail I also applaud the excellent supporting cast of playing greats Liam Neeson shows that hes not just wise old mentor material (the plait at the end surprised and impressed me-- who would have thunk it? Ras al Ghul is Irishp), Michael Caine shows why hes the obvious and really only choice to play wry, authentic Alfred, Morgan Freeman shows how an understated, classy performance can be memorable, and Gary Oldman shows an entirely naked as a jaybird (at least new to me) facet of his acting prowess by bend in what I think is the real breakthrough performance in the movie. It was kind of freaky seeing someone w ho usually plays scary, psycho villains transform into gruff, kindly, future-commissioner Gordon.My only complaint about Batman Begins is that Katie Holmes is in it. Every time I see that infuriatingly irritating smirk on her face I want to slap her silly. I hated her as early as her Dawsons brook days, and I hate her even more now that she and that jackass gobbler whats-his-name are shoving their icky May-December romance in our faces.
