Better Bat

1989′s Batman was the best filmic rendition of the Caped Crusader’s story ever.

But not any more.

My spoiler-free review of the newer (and even better) Bat is up at JIVE.

    I haven’t seen the film yet (a little quicker please, Bittorrent), but I enjoyed your review. There’s a long essay yet to be written (or read by me anyway) about how powerful comic book myths have become in this culture, and the role the film versions have played in making those myths what they are.

    It IS actually worth the $10 or so.

    Now after I see it and War of the Worlds.. it’ll be time to place bets on..the summer blockbuster… :)
    and for my taste allthough I love comic books and comic book characters..
