I just saw Batman Beings today as well. I thought it was very good. Not as "great" as others have said in the past, but easily better than Batman Forever and Batman & Robin. Katie Holmes was good but nothing spectacular and did anyone else feel that Morgan Freeman was a bit out of place? He was good but it was just like, "what's Morgan doing here?" Bale did a great job but I didn't like the fight sequences because they were too fasted pace and the shots were too close up. I will however be purchasing it on DVD and I also felt that Cillian Murphy did a very good job as Dr. Crane/Scarecrow
