| Mr Khan said: My issue was that they should not have led with R'as al Ghul. Mysticism doesn't click with Batman in the mainstream consciousness (though magic is as much a part of Batman's domain as any non-magical DC superhero, that is, less than Dr. Fate), so the idea of an immortal enemy threatening the city just didn't click with me. It seems to clash with the theme, especially something more closely resembling realism that they pursued with The Dark Knight. |
In defense of the movie, Ra's Al Ghul never did anything a regular person couldn't do. His superhuman stuff was wisely omitted. I think they'll leave some of Bane's stuff out, too. It's all about using what works for the movie and leaving out what only works in comics (and cartoons and video games). Schumacher had no idea what crossing the line was. I think Nolan had a good grasp on things.
