The saving grace of the new Batman movies is that the producers, as they did with the first Batman, worried first about getting a script which actually delved into the psychology of Batman, and actors who could carry it off.
In large part, that's why Batman has remained popular to this day -- he's relatable, human, flawed. So typically are his villains, people pushed or damaged to the point where they lash out. Michael Keaton excels at portraying the tortured soul, as does Christian Bale (The Machinist, anyone?). That's what also made Nicholson's performance as the Joker so great -- you believed the sadism was accompanied by humanity, albeit a twisted version of the desire for love. All the best superhero films have been good films, with strong acting. Inevitably, the franchises fall when the names and explosions become the focus. Hell, that's even true of Bond, which is why Casino Royale was such a revival for the series. |
