Newsweek has an update on the upcoming Batman Begins movie, which is just sounding better and better all the time. With Chris Nolan of Memento directing and Christian Bale as the Dark Knight. Nolan combed through 65 years of Batman comics to create the over-arching storyline. The new flick hopes to examine how Bruce Wayne became Batman.
I've long thought the recent string of Batman movies were over-rated--even the first couple by Tim Burton (which, I know, is some sort is blasphemy)--and have longed for a more gritty, more realistic retelling of the Batman saga. Because, after all, Batman, has the potential to be the most realistic of all the superheroes. No spidey senses. No rubber limbs. No retractable adamantium claws. No powers of flight or extraordinary hearing. No super powers at all. Just pure attitude. And a whole lotta lonely hours bench-pressing in the basement, I imagine.
The official site has a few more pics up now, too.
