More Batman, no Katie

[eee1313]

According to this blurb on IMDb, there is definitely going to be a sequel to Batman Begins. Christian Bale, Michael Caine, and Morgan Freeman have all signed on. Who's not there? Katie Holmes. Boo-yah! I guess studios realized that a) the TomKat shite is too annoying to put up with for another movie, and b) she couldn't hold up against the rest of the cast. I mean, she wasn't bad, really, but on screen with everyone else, she just seemed... not up to par. Plus, her little smirk during the whole scene in the car with Bruce right before she slaps him just made me want to slap her. Why are you smirking? The guy just went to the parole trial for the guy who killed his parents. There is no need for smirking!

So in conclusion, I am a happy girl with this news.

And I would talk to you about something other than Batman Begins, but unfortunately I don't have much else to say. Work is still busy as hell, and I'm still cleaning my aparment. Yes, this is a multi-day activity, what of it? Tonight I need to do laundry. That's really about all I've got. Oh, except that a new coffee house opened around the corner from me, and their menu looks great. Plus, they do take-out, and they're open till 8 every night. Woooo! fava_bean, you're coming over. They have a bananas Foster drink. Shades of Don? Hell yes.

What I'm pulling for, because they've opened the door already, is that they'll bring in Talia, Ra's daughter. Besides being a first-rate asskicker, she's also got complex emotional issues stemming from her devotion to her father and her infatuation with Batman (not Bruce, mind you, but Batman).

Heh. That's funny, because I know people who HATE Talia. I'm pretty sure I heard one of my friends say "Thank God they didn't have Talia in the movie," after it ended. Although her interest in Batman and not Bruce is interesting, because then it's all "Who does Bruce relate to more, himself or Batman?" When someone else is more interested in the crimefighter than the hero, that's when it really starts to blur the line regarding which is the real face of the hero.
