Too much! I felt like I'd been beaten when I walked out of the theater. Despite doing a good job as Bruce Wayne, Christian Bale does something weird with his voice when he's talking as Batman, which is really silly. The filming in Chicago was pretty cool, as was the Batmobile/Batcycle. There was almost no attention paid to the relationship between Batman and his girl, though, so when that went south, did anyone really care? And isn't that supposed to inform his character to a great extent? It seemed like the director had to choose between spending time on character development vs. more violent action scenes (as if there weren't enough of those...) and the choice was made to go over the top with the action and violence. Maybe I'm just too old for these movies (and I'm not even 40 yet...)
