Well I'm not a fan of superhero movies, but when they are good, i LOVE them.
Sadly I'm not a Marvel fan by any means except for Daredevil (I only read the comics) and I just stick with Batman and Green Arrow (non the horrible TV series, the 80s comic by Mike Grell)
Yeah I knew that craptastic Captain America movie, it's so bad it is awesome.
Lol, Cap faking to be sick to steal a car, that's GOLD.
This signature is hilarious and original.
NAAAT! -

The costume rocks.
I don't see what was so wrong with using the Joker as the killer of Bruce's parents (other than maybe making him too old), it seems a fine extension of that in some of the comics Batman did create the Joker (or contributed in turning him from a bad guy to a really bad, crazy supervillain). -

Your section 4) is pretty much attacked by yourself in the 'What's good about it? section.
But, now that superhero movies are just generation whatever we're on metaphors for rich *itch teenage girls and faux wimpy guys, I can see that the multimillion dollar paid gentleman actor Jack Nicholson would stoke some over the top Baby Boomer hate. -

Lol after a rewatch I actually like Nicholson almost more than Ledger, I was completely wrong.
Yeah, this movie is still a bajillion times more soulful than the average comic book movie blockbuster of nowadays. -

Yeah true, although Burton completely separated the movie from the comic in Batman Returns it still FELT like Batman, Nolan accomplished to be similar to the comic in Batman Begins but in TDK and TDKR he completely screwed up and went full Nolan.

Great. With respect, who cares what you or anyone else thinks twenty something years later? The film was HUGE at the time. Friggin HUGE. If you weren't around (I get the feeling you prob weren't born when the film came out) you simply have no idea about how huge the movie was and how it totally reinvented Batman and indeed the while superhero film genre. TOTALLY.

There is so much wrong with Burton's Batman. I don't have time right now, maybe later.
Yes, Mr. Mom should have never have been Batman and why did the Joker or Nicholson have to be in every other scene? -

I was there (at the theater with my Batman t-shirt) and, you're right, the movie was huge. BUT it sucked. I was wholly disappointed; and so were many others who didn't drink the Kool-Aid of mass hype and delusion. Sure the movie
looked
good, but the story is
boring
and the tone is campy/goofy, the antithesis of 2005's "Batman Begins," which was what I was hoping "Batman" would be, but I had to wait 16 years. And, no, I'm not a Nolanite; not even a little.

Like I said, I bought the hype and was there in the theater on opening weekend with my Batman shirt, but, despite this, even I could see that the movie and the surrounding hysteria was a case of "the Emperor's New Clothes." Not that there's
nothing
good in it, of course; just that it wasn't even close to being as mind-blowingly awesome as the mass hype made it out to be.

"Yeah, looks like you're a bit confused since your profile pic is from "The Batman movies with Christian Bale,although yeah, Batman Begins is the only really good one".
LolBatman has ears. Put your specs on. Also, NO. "Batman Begins" sucks as does all of his movies. It's mainly his voice. He tries to disguise it from Bruce Wayne's by speaking low and sexy, and what comes out is a guy in a Halloween costume that swallowed a ball of cat hair. I could never get past his voice to enjoy any of his Batman movies. Also, the Bat-mobile looks more like a Army recon ATV. His movies take themselves too seriously, and they take the fun out of the franchise. Batman with Michael Keaton, and Kim Basinger was all the Batmans I ever needed.
P.S. Don't get me wrong or feel like I'm trolling. I am happy that others have enjoyed other Batman movies involving Christian Bale, I'm just not one of them.
