Batman Among Men



Yeah, so Batman Begins is -to cop another superhero's adjective- amazing.

Nancy said it best -hell Nancy says everything best (ask her to say "clandestine" sometime... you won't regret it)- when she remarked that "it's about the weaponization of fear."

It's dark... moody... grounded, and utterly believable. To continue with the copping: "You'll believe a man can don a Nomex body suit and fight crime all night."

I dug Tim Burton's Batman... but what I really wanted to see was this. Christopher Nolan nailed it... even the Russians gave it a 9.0... and they're dicks. Hey comrades! It's not our fault you guys can't wear jeans... quit pickin' on our pre-teen athletes! And tell your cosmonauts to leave Gilligan and the other castaways alone already! Like they don't have enough problems?

Anyway... remember this? Well, Batman Begins just took over #5, and pushed everyone else back a position... sorry G-Men From Hell... there's a new tortured manbeast in town... and his name's Bruce Wayne.

Y'all be cool.
