To all the ‘The Dark Knight’ haters and critics out there: I want to do this film the justice it deserves. What startled me about this movie while bearing in mind that we are talking about a comic book adaptation is its depth and believability and to what lengths Nolan went to ground fiction in reality and maintain the suspension of disbelief throughout the film even though I have to agree there were some over-the-top action sequences and implausibilities regarding the storyline and continuity which are nevertheless still far from the bullshit you are being served in other comic book adaptations like Spider- or Ironman. Plus, while I think Jack Nicholson is an outstanding actor with his perfomances in films like ‘The Shining or ‘As good as it gets’, he totally pales in comparison to Heath Ledger with his portrayal of the Joker and although I think that the overall performance of this star studded cast was brilliant I have to say that Ledger plays in a league of its own. To come to a conclusion: TDK = Hollywood Cinema at it’s very best! This film is meant to entertain and in that respect it succeeds! No need for nitpicking! Your site is a total waste of time, loser! Nuff said!

Focused microwaves- aimed downwards at the pipes not spread out randomly to hit people. But yeah, would need a massive amount of power to be that effective, although microwave heating is more energy efficient than other electrical powered water heating methods.

Maybe someone already said this, but the microwave emitter in Batman Begins is *extremely* unrealistic. Before approaching the massive amount of power needed to make entire water mains vaporize, you’d surely cause any living thing in the vicinity to explode, since our bodies are composed of mostly water.

debton, what about the microwave emitter? in that case youll have a problem with the lightbulb in the camera Sonny breaks at Don Vito’s daughter’s wedding too. You lose focus in a discussion, you leave yourself open to your argument being taken down. Hard.

Earlofthercs, I was siding with you by pointing out another part of BB that was NOT perfectly true to the comics despite how tdksucks believes BB is SO MUCH MORE LIKE THE COMICS!!! then TDK. Sorry for the confusion!

John, did you catch the bit where the movie addaptations of comicbooks are more like a elseworlds tales rather than trait retellings because it’s impossible to tell the exact same story within 2 hours as you can with 60+ years of serial issues? The `facts’ don’t have to be the same for a movie to be faithful only `the spirit’.

Did you catch the bit of how Ras al Gul did NOT train Batman?

You think the realism totally worked in BB? Umm… did you catch that bit at the end about the microwave emitter?
