The BATMAN finally begins...


Finally, two new movies that give justice to excellent comic storylines and characters. I'm of course talking about Frank Miller's SIN CITY and BATMAN Begins which introduces Christian Bale as the new face of Bruce Wayne. Both easily making it to my list of all-time favorite movies, although I'd have to say that the former movie is by far the most faithful rendition of a story from comics to movies...and it just grabs you from beginning to end, kudos to the genuises behind SIN CITY!.

Batman is my second most beloved character of all comicdom, next to you-know-who. I was really happy that the story unfolded quite unhurriedly and displayed a sense of believability to it all... unlike most action movies done today that just go out kicking and screaming from beginning to end( well, that's good too sometimes). And you just have to admire the cool cast of powerful actors, Liam neelson as Ras Al' Gul and Michael Caine (that's his name right?) was just perfect for the role of Alfred. Although I could come up with other actresses that may have been better for the role, Katie Holmes didn't do too bad afterall. And Christian Bale was superb, being able to display the humanness, hesitation and humor of Bruce Wayne...and effortlessly transform into the cold and scary Dark Knight of Gotham... not since Michael Keaton has anyone else achieved this. Gary Oldman was a treat to portray Gordon on his pre-commissioner days, and he got to ride the batmobile, haha! It's amazing how all these actors brought to the screen a presence that the characters they portray display in the comics. And I love the new theme!!! Can't wait for the 2nd installment...

Can't wait...can't wait....

Funny Batman quotes!!!
from the stupid zip-pow sitcom waaaaay back then

Catwoman: "If I were to kiss you, would you think I was a bad girl?"
Batman: "Bu...uh...no...No of course not Catwoman."

Batman: "I'll do everything I can to rehabilitate you."
Catwoman: "Marry me."
Batman: "Everything except that."

Catwoman: "I could give you more happiness than anyone in the world."
Batman: "How do you propose to do that?"
Catwoman: "By being your partner in life, I mean it's me and you against the world."
Batman: "What about Robin?"

Batman: "Perhaps crimefighting is better left to the men, Batgirl, perhaps not. But this isn't exactly women's work."
Batgirl: "But I'm no ordinary woman, Batman."
Batman: "Agreed."

Robin, about Batgirl: "Do you think she's trying to double-cross us?"
Batman: "No, but she's a woman, Robin, with a woman's inborn desire to outsmart men."

Batman: "What's your name?"
Molly: "Molly."
Batman: "You interest me, strangely."

Batman: "I'm afraid you're under arrest, Madam."
Queenie: "Couldn't we talk it over, handsome?"
Batman: "Poor, deluded child."

Blaze: "No wonder I'm starved, it's after lunch! Oh Batman, would you get me a candy bar please?"
Batman: "Candy? Actually, fresh fruit is much more healthful."

Joker: "Who are you calling?"
Catwoman: "Lucky Pierre. The world's greatest and luckiest criminal attorney. He's never lost a case."
Batman: "Is it a toll call?"

Shame: "Don't make a move Batman, or I'll fill you full a' lead."
Batman: "You can't frighten us with a vague threat, Shame."

Catwoman: "Felix, you can brush my pussy willows before you leave."

Catwoman: "Karate isn't effective unless accompanied by yelling. Let him howl until he sprains a vocal chord. Then get him."

Catwoman: "From now on, pussy willows galore!"

Pussycat: "I wanna be alone with you, Robin."
Robin: "Alone with me? But why?"
Pussycat: "I can see a very important part of your education has been grossly neglected."

Robin: "You can't get away from Batman that easy!"
Batman: "Easily."
Robin: "Easily."
Batman: "Good grammar is essential, Robin."
Robin: "Thank you."
Batman: "You're welcome."

Robin: "Boy! That was our closest call ever! I have to admit that I was pretty scared!"
Batman: "I wasn't scared in the least."
Robin: "Not at all?"
Batman: "Haven't you noticed how we always escape the vicious ensnarements of our enemies?"
Robin: "Yeah, because we're smarter than they are!"
Batman: "I like to think it's because our hearts are pure."

Catwoman: "Let noone say that Catwoman is not the best-dressed woman in the world."
Batman: "There are no fashion shows where you're going, Catwoman."
Robin: "And how could a feline feloness like you also be a fashion model?"
Batman: "Ah-ah. Give credit where credit is due, Robin. She may be evil, but she is attractive. You'll know more about that in a couple of years."

Batman: "What took you so long, Batgirl?"
Batgirl: "Rush hour traffic, plus all the lights were against me. And you wouldn't want me to speed, would you?"
Robin: "Your good driving habits almost cost us our lives!"
Batman: "Rules are rules, Robin. But you do have a point."
