"The Batman" will open in Theatres today, March 4.
I am not quite sure what to expect. The Nolan trilogy worked quite well, Christian Bale was a great choice for Bruce Wayne/Batman
Had Heath Ledger lived, it would have been interesting to see his role in the third movie.
I could see him manipulating all involved - Batman, Bane, Catwoman, Talia
I will reserve an evaluation of Robert Pattinson as Bruce Wayne/Batman. He is probably a good casting decision from a marketing perspective.
Ultimately, the quality of the script and the direction will determine the quality.
It will be a box office success, in any case, i believe
The depiction of the Riddler as a Zodiac Serial Killer who leaves taunting clues is a fresh approach that is needed
to bolster the character, as a worthy Batman adversary.
Batman is said to be utilizing his detective skills more so in this film
As for the past - I was never a fan of the Tim Burton movies for many reasons - Michael Keaton is a good actor
but he isn't right for Batman. Would MK really induce fear and terror in the criminals?
He was cast because of his success in Beetlejuice.
Tim Burtons directorial success in Beetlejuice and Edward Scissorhands are the reasons he was given the reigns
The supporting characters - Commissioner Gordon, Alfred, Harvey Dent - were little more than marginal.
Poor Writing, Misguided directing, Indifferent casting, lack of character development - Never cared for those movies.
Notably, Tim Burton also ruined the Dark Shadows movie for the same reasons, and
his involvement with the canceled Superman movie was a disaster.
The TB scripts were substandard, the plots full of holes and implausibility, direction was mediocre. The box office
was saved by the Batman brand and the Performances of Jack Nicholson and Danny DeVito
Michelle Pfeiffer was a good choice for Catwoman, but she was failed by the script.
The Joel Schumacher films - The third one with Val Kilmer had some chops, but the poor character writing
for Tommy Lee Jones' Harvey Dent/Two Face was a let down
No one seems to care for the George Clooney version, and the comedy in that film just didn't work.
I must say that even though the 1960's series was comedic and tongue-in-cheek,
I will always regard Adam West as the definitive Bruce Wayne/Batman
Enjoy the movie!
