Nice, I seemed to have missed part 2 of this somehow, guess I’ll check it out now. You kept mentioning how Batman’s character took a backseat in the other films and in my opinion the same thing happened in TDK. Although unlike the others, TDK was actually good, lol.

I don’t think people are over looking Eckharts performance I just think most people don’t find it to be all that impressive. I wasn’t at all impressed with his performance as dent. He didn’t do bad I just didn’t see anything special in it.

I also don’t think that Batman took a back seat in TDK at all I thought it was fairly equal. He may not of been the only main focus but he was certainly in the main focus.

I thought the casting of Christian Bale was inspired, for reasons more than just his performance; consider this:

Bale had a following from his performance in American Psycho, yes?

Now I ask you…is there anything more psycho than dressing up as a bat, jumping off great big buildings and gliding to a frakking tank your company built?

And, since Bruce Wayne is American…then that makes him the most beloved American Psycho ever.

interesting writing.

Bale’s Batman is the definitive Batman because we see everything in this character finally on film. Cunning, great tactical thinking, martial arts skills,forensic application and intimidating personality.

I agree with everything but forensics. That lame excuse for forensic/detective work in TDK doesn’t count. It looked like they threw it in there just so you can’t say they completely excluded it. And in the end, it turns out useless anyhow with no impact on the story or how it ends. Further proof it was an afterthought.
