The Blue Girl’s Thoughts on The Batman


I’m going to write several negative thoughts about a movie that I liked. A movie that I’m sure most of you really loved. If that’ll bother you because you must be so serious about The Batman, please click away so your delicate psyches are not damaged for all eternity.

Heath Ledger was good. Of course he was. He was a 29 year old wild man! An uninhibited, great actor. Makes sense he’d play that part for all it was worth! I wish he would’ve done more with the sound of his voice, though. He kept it up behind his nose, at the same high pitch throughout the movie. I wish he would’ve slowly let it drop down about an octave and then back up again every now and then.

Maggie Gyllenhaal was miscast. She’s more believable as creative quirky than sexy glamorous. She couldn’t even fill out her dress, let alone that role.

Meeeoowww.

Maybe I could play Catwoman?

I did not believe that The Batman and Harvey Dent would both be in love with her. Who should have been cast then? Maybe Charlize Theron? It would’ve worked with Harvey Dent, but that girl would eat The Batman alive.

She’s too much woman for Christian Bale! Who was good. But, I’m biased. I’ve liked everything about Christian Bale since American Psycho. Everything except his voice as The Batman.

I would’ve known it was him in two seconds!

And now that I think about it, I didn’t really care much for Rescue Dawn. But, that mess wasn’t Christian’s fault.

Aaron Eckhart was great. Great! And no one’s talking about him. Except me. And Laurie Mann over at Susie Bright’s. And she’s also right about his fantastic makeup/CGI at the end of the film.

How did his one eyeball move around so convincingly?! Aaron Eckhart’s fake left eyeball was more believable than Maggie Gyllenhaal’s whole real body!

Why must Morgan Freeman always be so wise?

Why was Gary Oldman cast as Tom Skerritt?

Why did the woman in front of us bring two five year old boys to see such a film??!! Totally inappropriate. She should be ashamed. Bad, bad mother!

Meeeoowww.

And finally, the movie was too long.

Other than that, I liked it. Especially Aaron Eckhart.

Count me in as one who totally believes in Harvey Dent.
