The Dark Knight (SPOILERS START ON PAGE 3)
KvP:
There looks to be a pretty massive spoiler in it, but only if you're looking hard.
minorbird:
God I love Christian Bale. If its half as good as the last one, fuck yes.
Muppet King:
Batman Begins was trash, but a step in the right direction. It suffered from a poor choice in villain and casting for Batman. Christian Bale isn't built correctly and lacks the necessary power in his voice.
That said, I don't like the casting for Two Face, Eckhart can play Dent, but I'm skeptical of his ability to play Dent on a run of bad heads.
minorbird:
My man crush on Bale might be swaying my judgement here, but I thought he did a reasonable job. But then again I haven't had much to do with the comics, tv shows or anime. I thought it was a big step up from Batman and Robin though. Whenever I think of those films I keep hearing Seal singing Kiss from a Rose. Ugh.

Seriously? I loved Batman Begins! Scarecrow has always been my favourite Batman villain and I thought that Murphy did a fantastic job of portraying a weak but intelligent man on a total power trip. I think his fear-inducing hallucinogen could have been done [urlhttp://achewood.com/index.php?date=10142003]better[/url] (I didn't think much of the Batman with the glowing face that the crowd saw but that is my only complaint) but Neeson playing Ducard/Ras Al'Ghul was done really well so it balanced out (Ducard was a little too reminiscent of Qui Gon Jin but it was never going to be perfect).
I also thought that Bale did a fantastic job of Bruce Wayne and Batman. He totally looked the part and I believed the smouldering anger in the voice. It was definitely a step up from Kilmer or Clooney (though George Clooney is generally awesome) and it made much more sense than Michael Keaton, even if he did do a fantastic job in the Burton films. I honestly couldn't think of a better person to play Wayne and Batman than Christian Bale. Dude is a solid actor.
