I mean, there's a time and place for a Battank, just like there is for a Batcopter, Batboat, Batsub, Batcycle, and Batjet, but the streets of Gotham require turbine powered speed, not a desert storming stomper. Extravagantly wealthy bastards don't drive, they're driven. Unless it's a little two seat speedster like a Lamborghini or something. Or a Bat-lamborghini, I guess.

It was so over the top and crazy, I couldn't help but cackle in delight when I saw it. Bruce Wayne is an extravagantly wealthy bastard. Extravagantly wealthy bastards drive Hummers. So, of course, Batman HAD to top all. He just <em>had</em> to. Villain costumes are apparently passe. Should have just let Gary Oldman go batshit (no pun intended), <em>The Professional</em>-style.

I mean, I didn't keep looking at my watch to see how much longer it had to go, but it didn't seem like all that much happened. Where are the supervillains? Don't they get costumes?

That Batmobile was the best part of the movie. Cut a half-hour off of this one and it could have been so much better. What? That Batmobile was the best part of the movie.
