Batman Begins is actually what got me into Batman? In my defence, I was fifteen or so when it came out, I liked a lot of things then that I can't stand now.
To be fair to the new franchise - I don't like Nolan as a director and I can't stand Christian Bale.
Please note, I'm not disparaging Bale's acting abilities I just don't care for him. I am however disparaging Nolan's directing. IMO his action sequences lack cohesion it seems [to me] that he can never quite figure out what/who the POV should be.
I do like the Bat "toys" in the new franchise and Lucius Fox and Commissioner Gordon and Alfred. And those four things alone keep me buying the tickets.
I am absolutely not a fan of Chris Nolan, as a director or a writer (or, I suspect, as a person). Christian Bale's Bruce is okay, but his Batman is all wrong.
The supporting cast definitely make the films. It's just too bad Leslie Thompkins won't get to be part of that.
