As much as I like a good Batman film, this one wasn't really the best one made.

I was able to spot several problems with this movie, and I'll be more than happy to point them out.

The first of many was that they put too much emphasis on modernizing Batman: if you're going to deal with a classic character, you must think classic. The tank-looking bat-mobile... need I say more? Secondly, Jonathan Crane AKA The Scarecrow's origin was never discussed, thus leaving people that don't know about the legend clueless.

Also, the continual mentioning of the city's water supply and the neurotoxic gas was slightly annoying.

Finally, the one element that they forgot was the one thing that Tim Burton nailed dead-on: humor! There was no shred of humor to keep this thing together. Even Forrest Gump was a drama, but it managed to be funny too; this on the other hand, took itself way too seriously.

To finalize, for Batman fans everywhere, this isn't really one that I'd recommend.
