I won&#8217;t bother repeating what everyone else has said, though: there are plenty of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pluggedinonline.com\/movies\/movies\/a0002186.cfm\">reviews on the web<\/a> if that&#8217;s what you are looking for.

The Batman standing up on a gargoyle in Gotham City is a real guy (a stuntman). The Batmobile is a real car (several of them, actually). The fire that comes out of the jet is real fire. As How Stuff Works puts it:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The Batmobile is real. Every single time you see the Batmobile in the movie, you are seeing a real, physical object, not a computer-generated graphic. Whether it is driving on city streets at 100 mph, landing in the Batcave or pulling up to the scene of a crime, what you&#8217;re looking at is a real car. When the Batmobile flies 30 feet through the waterfall to land in the Batcave, what&#8217;s landing is a real, 5,000-pound vehicle. The Batmobile is so real that it actually served as the pace car for a major NASCAR race held in June 2005.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Now that&#8217;s just cool.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What you have heard is true: Batman Begins is a very good movie, and Christian Bale is too cool for school.
