Batman Begins [Limited Edition Giftset]

Does this set also include the USB drive?

I also loved this movie. It was great how they had a cameo of Mr. Zsasz, but I do think Steve Buscemi might have been a more perfect Scarecrow. In the comics, he was supposed to be a creepy looking nerdy type guy, but I guess Murphy is okay.

My only nitpick was how some of the scenes were a little over-the-top. Basically, I'm referring to how Batman sometimes glides across the room and the one part where the tumbler shot out of the waterfall. I think these would have been much better if they were more rough and easy to accept as believable.

Nice review John. I remember that you gave this movie a 9 for your SD-DVD review in 2006. Is there a reason why this gets an 8 this time? Or maybe is it because you have watched this movie 7 times in last 2 years.:-)

Agreed, great review. I do like Batman Returns better, but this one is really good. I still don't like the what I call "whiny Wayne" of the first half, but it gets much better after that. Also, having 3 (?) villains made it look messy, but again, all three are worth of the movie.

Tom,

WB's original press-site artwork for the Giftset showed a USB drive included. The set doesn't include it, however. I guess the studio had second thoughts.

Ranjan,

What 9?

Um... mvckalel? Three villains? There was just Scarecrow and Ra's Al-Ghul. The mobster guys and the cameo of Zsasz don't really count.

"Batman Returns" was the messy one with three villains (Catwoman, Penguin, and Christopher Walken). I like Walken, but he seemed totally out of place in that film.

rutger hauer could be considered a bad guy. he fired morgan freeman! what a chode!

The screenwriters (Goyer and Nolan) were the real villains in Batman Begins.
