An interesting conceptual twist ... the bat and the cat. It looks like a really good movie but the one problem I've had with all Batman movies is they film them too damn dark. That always detracts from the enjoyment of movies when the scenes are too dark to clearly discern the action moves. I don't know if it is just the way my eyes work or what but it does frustrate me.

Depends where are you are watching them? If it wasn't for my glasses then I wouldn't be seeing well in the dark either.

The theme of Batman is supposed to be dark and gothic, even though many of the movies have had scenes in broad daylight too.

This is a criticism that has been uttered quite a lot on account of recent movies, along with bad sound engineering that makes the on-screen dialogues very difficult to understand because of ambient noise or background music.

I guess the movie industry is pretty much like the music industry then: the more recent, the more quantity and the less quality.

I'll tell you what, Aragorn, I'm definitely down with that opinion...

Yes, this certainly has been an issue. I wonder if it's deliberate or actually just bad work on the part of the guys responsible for the audio.

good question, in terms of the Batman movies definitely, the rest of it seems just like poor work. And I thought I was going deaf despite having taken a number of online hearing tests with good if not excellent hearing assessment. My hearing has always been exceptional but then so were my eyes.

I did recently watch the whole first season of Reacher, it was only eight episodes. Pretty darn good, nothing very special, but still a decent detective story with a badass character, I give my recommendations.

I watched both seasons awhile back ... it was good, I think they misplayed Reacher early and then after they had established the character they let it go more naturally.

There's only one season! They did confirm second season too though, it might come out next year.

I thought it was over ... when you said you watched the first season, my assumption was that there were two ... oh well, what I remember is his walking down the road?

Yes, he walks down the road in the first and last episode too. Seems that he enjoys walking more than using automobiles.
