TDKR: SPOILER-RIDDEN!

Here there be spoilers.

TDKR: Spoiler-free!

Went to the midnight premiere, worst thing that happened was some teenagers regurgitating reality tv dialogue...or maybe that's just how they talk nowadays?  Anyway, it was a damn good time.  More after the jump.

Bats

What's better than steampunk?  Gotham, when set in the art deco style (hope that's the right terminology).  Batman, in the animated series a lot of us grew up with, really worked here.  The old-fashioned architecture and B-man's futuristic tech just fit, you know?

I can get behind the Christopher Nolan version, I like it.  Having a modern context and interpretation is cool. The over-the-top style that Tim Burton played with was entertaining, and thankfully free of the now-requisite Johnny Depp/Helena Bonham Carter casting...though, I'm certainly not complaining about the latter.

Ol' Bats is alright, though, whatever the version*.  He's not a Marvel character, but he can hang.  I'd pay real money to see him face off with Iron Man.
