Batman Begins

[Dr. Doom]

I've probably gone into this before, but I can actually sorta see what Schumacher was going for with those two movies. I don't think he just like hit his head and threw all this wacky sh*t together, they both really seemed like a sort of updated version of the old TV series. I mean, both are very steeped in ridiculous visuals and pop culture influences of their specific times. Everything is very melodramatic and surreal in both situations. He didn't want to make something realistic, he wanted larger than life. FYI, I can't stand the old TV series, I think it makes a complete mockery of the everything thatt Batman is. And I'm not saying I enjoyed either movie, but if that is indeed what Schumacher was going for, I think he acheived what he set out to do. It just didn't make for a very good movie, especially with the disgraceful performance of Chris O'Donnell.
