Bilmflog review: Batman Begins

Batman Begins (usa 2005)

Bruce Wayne is a frigging ninja. I knew it! That’s just great. He receives his friggingninja-training from (former Darkman, another comic character-) Liam Neeson. On succeeding his training he learnes that the Neesonninjas are planning to destroy Gotham city. Whoops!
Somehow Wayne returns to Gotham, his butler Alfred (a brilliant Michael Caine), Wayne Company, and a fridget Kathie AlienCruiser. Then he ‘becomes’ batman. I can tell you exactly how he did it. He ordered Alfred to make popcorn, and popped in a ‘Batman’ dvd in his Wayne Industries Bigscreen tv. Christian Bale as the dark avenger imitates Michael Keatons batman uncanny, including his ‘I’m Batman’ monologue. Who knew Keaton was a ninja?
Plusses: Great cast: Rutger Hauer, Morgan Freeman (not playing a cop for a change) and Gary Oldman. Minor points: Once you’ve seen jack Nickolson kill mom and pop Wayne, it’s kind of hard to believe someone else could have.
