It's a huge mess... But oh well, I'm glad you guys enjoyed it. I didn't. The batman series died in 1995.


All that is right, except for everything negative you said about Batman Begins.

And the reason I wanted to see the oval was because since this film is supposed to be "Batman made practical" and the yellow oval was designed to attract bullet fire to his chest where the armor was the strongest.

Ric, I'm not sure you got that. The whole POINT of this movie is to show why a Billionaire would don a bat cowl and fight crime. It was supposed to be psycological. And his buying the hotel was supposed to show him pretending to be a billionare playboy to take suspicion away from him being The Batman.

Also, this is the only of the five post-Crisis Batman films that focused on Batman more than the villains, which is one of the biggest gripes with the original. The only things I didn't like about Begins were all the flashbacks (I wish it would have told it more linear) and the fact that the BatSuit didn't have the yellow oval on the chest.
