I say wait for the team-up movie to end them all. Batman, Fantastic Four and Spider-Man! Does it get any better?! Of course, due to the huge budget of the special effects alone, they've had to watch every cent in every other department. I don't think you can tell, but here's a promo still.

Then its off to a lousy start......
You're in the minority. Anyone who knows the comics and characters, would argue that Begins is a lot more faithful of an adapation.

Convincing a Crow lover to stop cutting their arms and dying their hair black is easier than trying to get a Tim Burton zombie to admit how superior Batman Begins is in every way.
And how anyone can see Begins and NOT know it is a whole new entity ... well I guess that is why they make helmets and short buses.

I am a big Tim Burton fan and loved what he did with the Batman franchise, despite the very thin story in both of his films. Having said that, as much as I enjoy his films, I both acknowledge that the two Burton "Batman" films were think on story and also agree that "Batman Begins" is a far superior film.
However, I'm not that crazy about how Christian Bale looks in the suit, particularly the mask. It just looks OFF to me.

That I agree with; it's like the part of his face exposed in the cowl is too puffy.

There's a whole special feature on the Batman Begins SE disc 2, where they go into detail about the how's and why's the cowl looks different this time out - but I don't feel like typing it all up right now.
