Nolan's all about hard-hitting crime and espionage. Supposedly the snow-fortress in INCEPTION was his attempt to do his own mini-James Bond flick.<br /><br />If you want a Gothic Batman, you can't go wrong with Tim Burton's two Bat-films. They've got a zillion plot holes too, but they're much prettier to look at.Gene Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11495562795211277146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5621995982503387078.post-23064199876579179382012-08-28T19:05:57.598-05:002012-08-28T19:05:57.598-05:00All dem plotholes were head-bangingly annoying and...All dem plotholes were head-bangingly annoying and all, not that I saw the other two batman movies. <br />I thought that the plot was weak, and the movie was waaay too serious. If the excuse for that is "gothic," that is the silliest sort of gothic film I've ever seen. If they want a real gothic film see edward scissorhands or the weird polish Alice in Wonderland. The film was long and drawn out and although there was action almost every minute the film was rather boring. <br /><br />It was a very good film, just not for me. In my eyes Mr. Christopher Emo Bale will never be as great of a batman as adam west. <br /><br />Or Bat thumb.
