I liked BB as well, without having much background in the Batman-verse at all. (Michelle Pfeiffer's Catwoman is still by far my favorite thing in any of the movies, but Christian Bale's upper arms interesting take on the hero goes in the running.
And even though the line was a bit clunky, I was pleased by the "It's not what you are underneath, it's what you do" motif, b/c it fits nicely into the essay I eventually want to write about Darth Vader and Wesley and, um, well, Aristotle.
Did you see Sin City? I couldn't sit through it, but I thought there were some interesting parallels to the way Gotham was shown in the movie (probably not a coincidence, with the Frank Miller connection to SC and the Batman comics).
Also, from a purely superficial and self-centered POV? The Immortal-as-Todd and Bruce Wayne would so hang out, without having a clue to each other's identities.
