It was the intent behind it that I think was less than noble, both to the story and to Christians. I'm no Bible-thumper by a LONG shot, but this always got under my skin.

I was bothered more by the fact that Batman got his ass kicked by a thug who looked like Ray Charles on steroids. It bothered me then, and it still bothers me whenever I watch the film and that scene comes up.
