You mean that the Swartzenegger as Mr Freeze and Uma Thurman cat calls
have been replaced with some serious Caped Crusader adventured
that don't make one cringe?

That's good news.

I enjoyed the first one and even second (I think) but the cutesy
attempt to mimic the old tv serie in subsequent films embarrassed me even for the few lines I heard in the vid store.

Apparently the Batman franchise cannot be harmed by a few
really bad pics. The cartoon as film continues to live long and
prosper.

It is said (and I rewad this after I saw the film) that The Punisher
is one cartoon to film movie that retains the feel of the original
and uses virtually no special effects-- it's all story. It's a rough show but then again so is the modern genre of comic book anti-heroes.
