uh-huh. the whole plot was basically the same as Batman Begins.

lol, Robin was omnipresent as shit tho. always at the right sewer hatch, hospital doorway, building entry...

>- The whole "finding yourself" thing with Wayne climbing
>out of prison...LOL...

anybody with a brain saw that it paralleled his childhood incident from Batman Begins, but Nolan one-upped his "color inside the lines" storytelling technique with another awful flashback of the actual scene

>- Not a fan of Alfred.

Alfred was a fucking joke. the look on his face when Bruce and Selina are eating dinner was some Benny Hill shit. I was ready for Looney Toons blackout circle around his "shocked" expression.

I WAS IN TEARS...maybe the funniest part of the movie

>- LMAO @ the Scoobie Doo "twist." It worked perfectly because
>>nobody cared about the bitch at the center of the twist.
