The Bat Has RETURNED

As you can probably tell by the title, I just saw the movie Batman Begins. For those of you who havnen't seen it, you definately should. They finally did the movie right. They went the Spiderman 2 route and focused on the story of Bruce Wayne instead of the adventures of Batman.

Now the first two movies were good, but this one blew them out of the water. I'm just going to pretend that the third and fourth movies didn't exist or were just little fits of insanity from whoever owns the rights to the movies. I'm glad on this movie they put the Dark back into the Dark Knight. It was cool seeing how Bruce got his training and all his cool equipment to become the Bat.

Since this is a new start for the Batman, there is inevitably going to be a sequel to this movie. I'm all for sequels, but I know that since they told the story already in this one, there's not much else, except for Batman to run around fighting bad guys, which is the formula for Batman 3 and 4.

So i'm outta ideas on this one, but I would like to leave with my favorite quote from the movie, which pretty much defines Batman,

"I'm not going to kill you, but I don't have to save you."
