More costume photos from Batman Begins
While I enjoyed the Tim Burton movies, I’m not a real fan of the rubber suits, especially here, with what looks like a black felt cape.
What I’m looking for in a film about the early years of the Batman is a hero who is young and inexperienced, untested and imperfect, without the resources and equipment he will obtain later.
I’d rather his costume be made of cloth, even if it covers armor and padding underneath, with a leather cape and cowl. Not only does this reflect the idea of a more vulnerable young hero, it also implies a much faster and energetic range of movement one would expect of the Batman in the prime of his youth.
Give me Sandy Collora’s Batman over yet another Tim Burton rubber Batman:

Less Halloween celebrations?
It’s weird, but it seems like you see less and less outward celebrations of Halloween around these parts. Less decorated houses, for example or more kids going to “halloween parties” than trick or treating throught the neighborhood, as another.
It seems like local grade schools have stopped the usual “come into school dressed up” day and now have nothing more than construction paper pumkins on the windows.
Maybe it just cuts into Christmas decoration time, which seems to start on November 1st around here, especially in the retail arena.
