Still, I've abandoned that film series. Between Batman's homicidal approach, Vicky Vale's screaming, and The Penguin's ... whatever ... I was never head-over-heels for it. I respect the films for what they are, but BB hit every note perfectly. I didn't even mind Katie Holmes. It was the first thing I'd bothered to see her in and had blinders on to her whole Tom Cruise soap opera until afterward, so I was offered a wee bit of objectivity as far as she was concerned.
Though I still think Rachel McAdams would have been the best person for the role the first time and for the recast.
