Anyone else see this?

oh by the way....there will be a new Justice League animated movie coming in (I think) January of next year.

Haven't seen a Batman cartoon film since Mask of the Phantasm waaay back in the day.  Hopefully they didn't dumb it down or make it too kid-friendly.

From what I've read online, the movie is supposed to be nearly word for word to the comic.

Okay fair point. I just loved that movie and the whole dark mood of it. Bale just does the vaguely-totally "off" character so very well.

One aspect of Batman that always gets glossed over in the movies is that he's the world's greatest detective. He's a genius. The only time that was ever conveyed was in Keaton's portrayal. He always gave the impression that he was several steps ahead of his enemies.

To be fair, the fact that he's also no slouch at hitting people probably works a bit better on screen.

Yep, "Detective Comics" (from which what was then National Comics took their new name when they rebranded themselves in the '50s). No question that the criminology thing is a big part of the character, but he gets a lot more violent in the course of his investigations than (say) Hercule Poirot or Nero Wolfe. That's a big part of the character as well, after all. The term detective story always makes you think of locked room mysteries and genteel murders in posh houses or resorts, while Batman has a lot more in common with pulp characters like The Shadow and The Spider than even the hardboiled school...
