The most standout thing mentioned was definitely the fact that Batman never saves anyone... this is very true, and frankly it's surprising that no one's pointed it out until now. The only people that I could think of (other than the little girl Ryan mentioned) were the fake Batmen, and they put themselves in danger. It is a new era of superheroes, but I can't agree more that they should save people instead of just warrring with super villains.
Anonymous- I was 100% in agreement with you about the role not being Oscar worthy, but, and I am not sure why, it just stayed with me long after the movie; I still can't let it go, and I like Josh's defense. On that same note, I am right there with you in hoping that competition is on the way (we still have the best from Cannes ready to drop, but based on the buzz I'm not holding my breath).
As to the criticisms of Bale, I don't join you guys, but respect your reasoning (my only rebuttal is to point out previous actors' take on the role which is in it's nature, simple) . The comments on MG and the batmobile: hilarious.

As to JennaG, the responder to my Wanted Comment Response: I guess we just have very different views of the meaning of a movie... and after reading your comment, I hope you are well...

JennaG: Did you forget you are writing on a movie blog site? We want you to comment on the movie, not the normal and inherent ways in which people perceive the world around them. I’m not saying everything you wrote about is not almost completely true, but this is not “psychology of the human brain 101”. Yes, people have assumptions, and we use these thoughts to make categorical references in our brains which in turn affect the way we perceive the movies we watch. The people who make movies are smart enough to know this and so they use these qualities of the brain along with a “constructed environment” to sway our opinions subconsciously before, during, and after we watch. This is true for everything in life, from your gym to your church. Good to know… but can we talk about the movie now? I find it frustrating that Mickey has posted an in depth look at the structure and format of a movie, and you have commented by posting a cynical opinion on life. If a movie “reflects society,” it can still be worthy of praise from many standpoints. And if a movie tells an “honest” story, who is to say this is real honesty, or the truth you (the watcher) are seeking. Either way, a movie is praiseworthy due to the creativity, and entertainment to the viewer. No one can completely “remove self” from there viewing experience, not you, me or Mickey. Judging from the first half of your comment, you understand this, so why do you insist that we try?
