Good story and bad guys
motorcycle was pretty cool.
Bad:
No solid explanation on jokers background
No explanation as to how the joker had the connections or experience to do anything he did...like set up bombs.
There is no explanation for Joker. He is just a maniacal genuis. Even in the comic books no one knows where he came from or who he really was.
Two face just kind of became bad, they didnt pull you into that part of the movie, you just didnt feel bad for him and feel his pain to understand. So his girl died and he had scars? I would almost think from his character that he would have used that for good.
You really need to get the Gotham Knight DVD in it the writers of several Batman comics talk about the Batman villians. Two Face is a man that has the capacity to know right from wrong but not the capacity to make those decisions for himself. He walked a tight rope as Harvey Dent being as perfect the "white knight" needed to be. When his world came crumbling down ( you know being critically burned and having the woman you love blown up) he cracked.
Parts of the plot were scattered. For example they didnt really explain the mob money thing too well. The story that alfred told bruce didnt make much sense...or maybe I just didnt catch it right but I dont see batman to get too deep in thought
What was there to explain? Why do you think they were meeting in broad daylight...Batman doesnt come during the day. He had been terrorizing them. The chinese money guy was the last money launderer in town.
Why would two face think he could shoot batman in the stomach at the end and have it actually penetrate his armor?
A- He was crazy. B- He had only met Batman once he didnt know the guy wore body armor, many criminals make the same mistake.
Why did the CEO even suggest bruce wayne was batman when the employee had the plans from the r+d dept? I never heard him say it was bruce, just that he knew they were developing stuff for batman...heck that could have been a contractor or something.
Oh come on that was one of the funniest scenes of the movie. It there purely for a laugh and to set up the the scene with the Lamborghini (sp?) crash. |
If this movie confused you this much then I'm sure a movie like Hulk, which had a ****load of subtle references to the Marvel universe, was way more confusing.
