-THE LACK OF HUMOUR. There was none. Which leads me to say...

-IT WAS NOT FUN.

-THE LOOK OF THE FILM: Burton's film was dark in tone but it still had color to it, lot's of color, and it was beautiful to look at. TDK is just dull in plot and in colors.

-THE SCORE: The music in TDK was TOTALLY forgettable, in fact some of the action scenes had no music, unlike Elfman's incredible soundtracks for Burton's films.

-Last but not least I have to get this off my chest. I over looked it in BB because that film was at least pretty good but I'm not going to over look it in this pile of dung... THE BATMOBILE. Give me a break! The Batmobile should be (and always has been...) a sleek, and awesome sports car, the kind that every fanboy would like to have in his driveway, not some clunky, cumbersome, tank-like, military assault vehicle! That thing SUCKS! Trash it now please!

In conclusion I would like to say that I would take Burton's Batman over that tedious, dour, morous, humourless, and anarchistic pile of sh*t any day!


Batman dosent have to have these things, go read some graphic novels and you'd probably understand that, but obviously you dont read them do you? ::)



I have given a name to my pain, and it is BATMAN.

Sometimes I wish more people would read graphic novels and comics more often!

Slinky you sound like an ignorant 10 year old child crying to his mommy because she didnt buy the special toy you wanted waaaa waaa waaa, you give me a good laugh.

Go read some graphic novels and do some research on a character you act like you know so much about, when obviously you dont know hardly a thing, other than Burton's films.

Rude, much?

Hey just stating how I see it, take it as being rude if you like, if someone is saying Batman "NEEDS" a super cool sports car for the batmobile, we got a supped up sports car as the batmobile in B&R and that car was terrible looking and could never protect batman against his rivals. To me it sounds like that person has never read a comic or graphic novel in their life, and being on a batman forum, thats kind of silly to me.

Sorry If I came off as a jerk I apologize!

I'm surprised, I actually barely agree.

But I'm so glad to see someone poking holes in TDK, even if I don't agree. The overwhelming worship of the film is sickening.

Agreed.  He touched on a lot of the problems I had with the film.  I still enjoy it and it sits proudly on my shelf but the sonar and the propensity for blowing up parked cars in flagrant disregard for other peoples well being ("but it looks cool!!") is why I regard TDK as big, dumb action cinema rather than the Citizen Wayne most people try to make it out to be.

Y'know, I hadn't thought about the destruction thing before. I mean, it sure as hell bothered me for BB. I guess because so much more of TDK is better, BB sucked so hard that it's flaws were more apparent to me.

Dammit, now I can't enjoy the Batpod scene anymore. Oh well. :-P

Even as a fan of TDK it's nice to hear people willing to say the truth about it so that all those in hype-land can come back down to earth. I also felt a slight sense of disappointment after viewing the film opening night. After a few more viewings, the flaws are even more obvious, however my overall feel of the film increases with each viewing. All and all, TDK is a great film, but not the greatest of all time-such as it is labeled.
