well ok u culd aruge taht batman began to suck fortey yers ago whan adam west decamped¹. but anyghow tihs movei is ten puonds a ass in a fivepond bag.

its two an a half hors logn. an abot one an a half hours a that is dull talky bullshit. its not just dull. it dosnt evan signify. dtwo thrids of it is bland undiferentiatd pseudoprofound holywood imitatien estern-mysticism babble. liem neeson mighta just as well a been standi9gn thare sayin 'quack quack quack'. teh othar third is saposed to be astabilishign batmans childhood but those parts plod too. if theyda cut it so 50% of teh runing time was axplosions an car chases itd a been a decent movie. but they overreached and its a selfindulgant shambles. a shambles with teh stupadest batmobile ive evar seen.

on teh plus side: gary oldman was rely good. as he usuly is whan hes not ovaractign horably. an katie holmes is a cutey! an in teh nonmborign parts teh visuals were cool.
