Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman....what a great assembling of talents then to be wasted in teenage fare such as "Batman Begins."
I fell asleep during the fifteen-minute weapon-assemblage bit---couldn't they afford a friggin' editor?
Without an antagonist and without a "dark" side to the winged one, this one just left me hanging.
Ooooh, threatening the water supply with psychedelics...that's frightening! (Maybe to your average Sunday school teacher...)
And for once, can't we have a fight w/out the kung-fu crap? What the hell does that have to do with the caped one?!!!!!
A sense of humor would have helped this but not enough to rescue it from being a huge pile of guano. Avoid.
Follow Ups:
I had a hard time believing Katie Holmes as the D.A. She's how old these days? 24 or 25? Not to mention the little doctor guy who looked like he was still in high school. (The dude who wanted to dose everyone.)
the District Attorney- she was an assistant DA. She had a boss who was later killed without much notice in the container by the cops.Every city has tons of assistant DAs - right out of law school- which makes them what- about 26?
Music is Emotion
Near the end of the movie, when they were closing the bridge to the city - didn't Katie say to one of the cops "let me through i'm the D.A." ?

than they are. But she doesn't have the gravitas to play a hard-hitting professional woman. The doc? Well, they used the old trick of having him wear glasses to "age" him. He seemed ok to me, he could act, in other words. I heard he had been cast as Batman originally but he wasn't tall enough it finally was decided.
Christian Bale did an ok job. It's not a great acting role which is how you can have so many different guys do it, from Val Kilmer to Mr. Keaton. The latter was the best, having the proper humor to keep it all in perspective.

I can't figure that one out.
