Supposedly "great" movies that kind of sucked

[Kev]

It's "dark" in the sense that the Joker turned the prosecutor/DA into a killer, that was a key part of the story, but I wouldn't call it "brilliant", nor was it anything that could be taken seriously

Exactly, it's just campy sci fun for comic book nerds and virgins, hence Amat is a big fan. Nice to see that most other red blooded males on this site over 15 can at least recognise it for the homoerotic pansy crap that it is

Hold on a sec, you are ascribing meaning to my post that just isn't there. I never said anything about homoerotic pansy crap. I don't consider that I have the expertise to make that kind of judgement.

So you don't think the idea of a man in a bat suit and cape who lives underground and goes to war against a man dressed as a a clown is camp?

Especially when this 'Batman' also has a young boy friend who wears tights and a cape calls himself Robin and they hang out together and fight evil.

Ok so the director thankfully decided not to give Robin any screen time in this film, but he's still there, part of the Bat 'lore' so to speak.

Batman is a gay fetishist, and depending on how old Robin actually is, maybe a very dirty old man indeed.

It's not cool, badass, or clever, it's just very very sad.
