But, I’m not much of a comic book geek, and the previous Batman films have been purely aesthetic when they succeeded and nothing at all when they failed. So, it’s “Batman Begins” which takes the moral issues seriously enough to be bothersome. The movie is good enough to make me care, while still not managing to make itself entirely coherent about what the answer to these moral questions is. Instead, it takes what Batman has always been and allows that to stand as an answer. And what a creepy one it is.
