Batman Begins
Dec. 7th, 2009 11:41 am1. It's another one of Hollywood's daddy films. Bruce Wayne's daddy is killed and he grows up to be a sulky, emo kid. Then a number of older men- good daddies and bad daddies- mentor him into a shape of which his daddy would be proud. No-one seems to notice that he lost his mommy too.
2. Note to the critics: Crime and Punishment is "dark"; Batman Begins is merely portentous.
3. All those car wrecks and nobody is killed. It's just like The A Team.
4. Batman is mythic. The more you try to fit him into the real world- real politics, real psychology- the more ridiculous he becomes.
