Bane no doubt inherited the information from her. Okay we didn't see where she was during Batman Begins but she was around somewhere. Surely she was filled in at undisclosed points by Ra's himself.
Hm. So the master of exposition needs us to use our imagination? Maybe fill in a few blanks by ourselves? I'd accept that if he hadn't spent at least 10 minutes of screen time telling us where Bruce got most of his equipment in Batman Begins.

That's a burden he put upon himself. As far as I'm concerned, criticizing Nolan for not filling in relevant plot points is a completely valid criticism.


One time in one of my city's theaters and i was pissed off at paying to see it as i was suffering through it as it was beyond terrible and the franchise died.

But seeing it on special edition blu-ray is funny with the commentary as i own the boxset on blu-ray and glad Schumacher apologized for it.

Saw this just now. Superb rebuttals, colors.

About five times. I only watch it if I catch it on TV on lazy days. I have the DVD as part of my Batman boxset but never actually popped it on!

Repeatedly. Seen it as much as any other film I enjoy. Enough to almost quote the whole thing...

I've probably watched this movie from beginning to end about four times since I first saw it in maybe 1998. All but the most recent time were in the late 90's (mainly because I like Uma Thurman and her performance) and I finally watched it again either this year or last year. But I've watched pieces of it many times. It's easily the worst of the old Batman series but I don't think it's the worst movie ever made like some people might think it is. Not even close.

I think I've only seen this film from beginning to end about twice.  Once was at the cinema when it was first released and another time on TV when I was pretty much watching it ironically in a Mystery Science Theatre way with a friend enjoying and commenting on all its many flaws.  However, I've probably seen snatches of the film on TV many several times, but I tend to only get through two or three scenes before trying to find something better to do with my time.

I do agree with JokerMeThis that as bad as it is, it is not the 'worst film ever made'.  As far as comic-book movies alone go, 'Spawn' and the 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' sequels are far worse IMHO.
Johnny Gobs got ripped and took a walk off a roof, alright? No big loss.

a few times. i didn't know there was going to be a quiz on it later so i didn't count lol.

I'm not miserable or unhappy when I watch this movie. Even when Uma isn't on the screen. I think it's fun. If people can enjoy the Adam West Batman movie and TV show why can't they enjoy this movie? I don't think it's a great movie but I don't think the Adam West Batman movie is a great movie either. I think they're just light and fun.

I've probably seen it about five to six times. I liked it at the time, but knowing what I know now I probably wouldn't enjoy it if I saw it today.
