Forgive me for doubting, but I still don\'t understand what\'s so great about this new Batman movie. Based on the trailers, it doesn\'t look all that much different from the previous movies (which sucked).
I\'m trying to figure out what about it is better, and the only thing I can come up with is the casting. YES, Christian Bale, Morgan Freeman, and [especially] GARY OLDMAN are much better than any earlier casting choices. Beyond that, I don\'t see anything else being better. You can take Ebert\'s opinion as gospel if you want, but I\'m a little reluctant to trust this film, given the depth of bat crapola that has been churned out in the past. The fact that this bat suit looks exactly like prevous bat suits doesn\'t help the situation.
