I don't mind him, or the new Batman movies, except for the fact they're not really Batman, well the character is there. but then you have the stupid giant wheels space tank.

I think the tank-like Batmobile design was one of the reasons why the "Nolan" Batman movies did so well.

But anyway, The Dark Knight Rises wasn't as well received as everyone had hoped, but Skyfall has had great reviews all around pretty much. It deserves to be at the top.

Think that's because how do you beat the Dark Knight which is probably a near perfect film, the measuring stick was to high for that one.

Has anyone noticed that the Batmobile in the original Chirstian Bale movie, in profile does resemble the Michael Keaton Batmobile?
