InCap(lan)able Reporter - Part One
Incapable Crusader
This is the worst title to any article I have ever read, in any medium and in any language. I assume (and it is a big assumption, as we do not wish to give Caplan credit for anything) that it is a play on the famous phrase “Caped Crusader”, used to describe the world’s greatest person, Batman. However, it fails because it is purely an attempted wordplay – Caplan offers no arguments for why the film is “Incapable”. Indeed this is not commensurate with the film’s “Good” rating. Some was trying to be a clever little thing, wasn’t she Nina, yes she was, yes she was…
Batman Begins (12A)
Running Time: 139 mins
The running time must be wrong, and I suspect that “it” thought the film was called something other than Batman Begins and had to have this corrected by her editor, so we’re putting this down as another elementary mistake from the queen of chimpery.
In Batman Begins, billionaire orphan Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) is a young man as adrift as the Batman franchise – and that’s saying a lot.
What does that even mean? No comparison can be drawn between Bruce’s quest for knowledge and enlightenment to achieve the related goals of dealing with his parent’s death and developing the means to fight injustice where-ever it may rear it’s ugly head, and the unspeakabelness that was the final three Batman films of the 90’s – and yes, I include the farce called “Batman Returns” in this. Immediately the writer proves that it lacks the ability to understand intellectually-taxing storylines whose complexity dwarfs the average man’s comprehension.
More insults tomorrow!
