Good evening my friends, and what a dark and mysterious eve it is...
I've just finished watching Batman Begins and I can't help but feel that Tim Burtons Batman was fantastic.
Ok yeah, this new Batman is dark and brooding and full of suspense. But is that not what we felt when we witnessed Burtons masterpiece? Times have changed and contemporary events will dictate how we perceive Hollywood but should we disregard the original brilliance? I eagerly await The Dark Knight and feel certain it will be equally as melancholic, and yes, these days do require such an anti-hero. But thats not to say Burtons creation is any less great.
As a boy I fantasized about becoming a UV punk (from Batman Returns). Now I actually want to be the dark one himself. Perhaps therein lies the difference between the two generations of Him.
I have my tickets pre-booked for The Dark Night and my expectations are suitably high. Please, no one give away the ending...
