At the risk of being repetitive, Schumacher turned out a little jewel called Blood Creek that I thought was made outstanding as much for the direction (limited locations; excellent action) as for the nifty story (and the presence of Michael Fassbender before he became well-known for... other stuff. ...

At least I think he did...didn't he? (and no I am not saying I was a fan of this Batmobile either) I don't remember this movie at all. Robert T.

Jun 29 12 6:47 PM More My Recent Posts	Oh yeah! That was awesome, and I bought it more than this stuff. The miniatures were so impressive in that sequence, where the Tumbler's plowing over air conditioning units and pipes, then breaking through the end of the church and landing on the full-scale freeway. Really nice marrying of full-size and miniature photography, all of which directed by Nolan. Usually someone else supervises the miniature shoot, but he oversaw all that stuff, and it looks seamless to me.

Jun 29 12 11:23 PM More My Recent Posts	I haven't enjoyed a Batman movie since the Keaton/Nicholson outing. My favorite Batman film is still Batman:Dead End. That's my idea of Batman. Why do I have to waste my time outwitting morons?

Jun 30 12 9:16 AM More My Recent Posts	Despite my general dislike of the Burton films, his Bat-vehicles were head-and-shoulders above the others; they were both believable-looking (both the Batmobile and the Batboat were recognisable as being modified versions of real-world vehicles) AND appropriately stylised. (of course, the GADGETS installed in them were absurd, but no more so than a James Bond car). The Nolan vehicles are utterly graceless (and yes, the "Tumbler" driving along rooftops is every bit as stupid as Schumacher's wall-crawler; Schumacher's actually willing to ACKNOWLEDGE how absurd this sort of thing is- and, as HIS Batmobiles don't leave a constant trail of property damage in their wake, one could even argue they're MORE "realistic", in that at least they're harder to track back to the Batcave!) Of course, I find MOST of Nolan's take on Batman esthetically displeasing; I'm not crazy about the excesses of the earlier films, but Nolan's films are just DRAB. ( And self-importance is NOT an improvement on camp).

( And self-importance is NOT an improvement on camp). Drab is a pretty good word for Nolan's films. It kind of gets to the lack of heart or emotional disconnect or something that they all have for me. Inception certainly had that. Even an original film like Momento did. I think back and to a certain degree Frank Miller's Dark Knight WAS very "self important" (and very melodramatic) too. Not that I didn't like it at the time because I did. It was something totally new and different but with time having now passed the Dark Knight seems a bit more like that top me nowadays. No one has yet to hit the (to quote Wich here) sweet spot that is Batman. Robert T.

Jun 30 12 10:46 PM More My Recent Posts	It's funny because I really liked the tank that Batman used in the Miller Dark Knight Returns comic, and it kinda continued for me with the Tumbler. I thought that it was a roaring, ferocious way to portray the batmobile. I dislike comparing animation and live-action, but if pressed I would say that after Superman 1978 and the Nolan films, that animated story was really good.
