Decent cast and some great joke's, the Trailer seemed promising. Plenty of great visual effects and action scenes. Affleck/batman has a fantastic cameo. (0 more)
Tanked where it mattered. As soon as Smith/deadshot says lets go save the world you know there's gonna be some regret. With a villain that made no sense. The animated movies are better. (0 more)

I am so happy that there is finally a story arc about these girls. I feel that the females from Batman get no attention at all, so it was refreshing. The story is nothing to complicated and everything you would expect, but I still enjoyed reading it. It was nice to get close and person with the three and learn more about them.

Part 1
Heavy hitting, violent, trauma, and more. This part of the film is really good. Part 2 not so much.


The Plot: Batman comes out of retirement and gets help from a teenage sidekick. He faces off against the Joker and Two-Face before a battle to the death begins against Superman.



It is also pg-13, so that is a plus.

Summmer 2008: at the time of writing this, now 11 years ago (edit: now 16), and the cinematic landscape was rather different - the MCU was only just starting off (with Iron Man), and superheroes in the cinema were not as commonplace as they are today ( to the best of my memory).

While Christopher No.an had effectively rebooted perhaps DCs most famous character in Batman Begins, that film had (deliberately, IMO) kept the focus pretty much on Bruce Wayne/Batman rather than on his mos famous foes, ending with a deliberate tease of the introduction of the Joker.

And what an introduction he gets in this.

As portrayed by Heath Ledger (whose untimely death no doubt helped stoke the interest for this movie: his last full screen role), this Joker is very different than Jack Nicholson's 1989 portrayal. It's a definite magnetic tour de force from the actor, sure, although (personally) I've never really viewed the character as a Joker so much as as a genius psychopath.

"I'm an agent of chaos" he says at one point. "I'm a dog chasing a car. I wouldn't know what to do with one if I caught it". And that, to me, is what is missing from the character-as-written.

Alongside Ledger, Aaron Eckhart also puts in a brilliant turn as Harvey Dent, completely blowing Tommy Lee Jones portrayal of the same character (in Batman Forever) out of the water. It's a far more realistic interpretation of what drives Dent to become Two-face, with some frightenly realistic effects.

And, finally, it may be a small thing: but in this Batman gets and operates (briefly) out of Gotham city, making his world seem more 'real' as a result.
