Just out of curiousity, JediKorenchkin, what Miller Batman stuff have you read? Miller is a hack. I'm not defending him at all- he got lucky with Dark Knight Returns and Year One, as far as Batman is concerned, but his All Star Batman and Robin is utter fucking trash and Dark Knight Strikes Again is silly retarded bullshit.
ASBAR is the most glorious thing I have ever, ever read featuring Batman. That is all.

As someone who takes their Batman quite seriously I can't even enjoy Assbar on an ironic/camp level. It's just about the worst goddamn Batman comic I have ever read.

The actor Christian Bale, 34, has been arrested on suspicion of assaulting his mother.
His mother Jenny, 61, and sister Sharon, 40, are said to have gone to a police station in Hampshire to make the claim, which was subsequently referred to the Metropolitan police.
Bale, in London to attend the European premiere of superhero blockbuster The Dark Knight last night, was apprehended by police at the Dorchester hotel, where the incident is thought to have taken place on Sunday night.
A Met spokesman said: "A 34-year-old man attended a London police station on Tuesday by appointment and was arrested in connection with an allegation of assault. He currently remains in custody."
It is understood that although the police were aware of allegations on Monday, they allowed the actor to attend four press conference and the evening premiere of The Dark Knight in Leicester square.
The Dark Knight has already been the recipient of increased publicity after the untimely death of Heath Ledger, who plays Batman's arch nemesis The Joker. This latest real-life drama looks likely to amplify the buzz still further.

It's not surprising -- Bale's basically playing American Psycho 0.5 in this movie, I kinda assumed that's who he was!

For some reason, whenever they have one of those "Bruce Wayne acts like an ass" scenes in the films all I can think of is Patrick Bateman.
Some of the action scenes were confusing (esp. the one at the end) but I thought the opening of the film was really well done.

When it comes down to it, as others have mentioned, the 90's cartoon was really probably the most solid of all the batman iterations. I'm going to have to go back and watch that shit.

Harvey Dent did it, Batman is covering up for him.

Something stinks about that, if you ask me. I think it's being blown out of proportion. I can't say I have all the details, but it seems like either he was busted for "verbal assault" (what the fuck, fuck you England) or his mother/sister are purpousely inflating it to get back at him in what appears to be an old family dispute.
