I wonder if it worked as well for bigger fans of the comic than I am, because I adored it
I was wondering what you would make of this movie. I'm glad you liked it.
For those of us (such as myself) who are fairly immersed in the bat-verse (and have ideas about what the "gestalt" of the character should be), this movie was a freakin' gift from the movie gods. All over livejournal, people come back from seeing this movie and go "Eeeee!" or "omigod! somuchlove!!!"
I was much more interested in Bruce than in Batman, but that's me
It's not just you. My approach to the superhero stuff is, the fight scenes and plots make for a diverting background, but the really important thing is the relationships (this is why I watch Justice League Unlimited). I care about Batman because of the man beneath the cowl; it's his vulnerabilities that fascinate me and his human flaws as a person. That makes it all the more amazing when he suits up and gets all scary and kick-ass.
IMO, this was a good movie, as a movie, far beyond any fannish gleeing.
