Batman Bruised

We enjoyed Batman Begins the other night. I am sort of lukewarm on the comic-book-as-movie genre, but this one dealt less with special effects and more with the story behind poor old tortured Batman. The fact that he's not some sort of superhero freak brings him up in my book, too.

For Kyla, the funniest part of the movie was when Alfred the butler says to Batman, bruised from one of his early run-ins with the lowlife criminals of Gotham: "Sir, you will need to take up a sport, perhaps polo, if you're going to have an excuse for all those bruises." If you could see Kyla's collection of bruises, you'd understand why she was so amused. For some reason, nobody else in the theater thought it was as hilarious.

I guess the rigors of being a new driver pale compared to navigating thru a heard of horses and swinging wooden mallets. The thought may even cause Batman to pause.
