I have mixed feelings on this. On one hand there's the Batman who's lacking a majority of his cool gadgets. But on the other hand we get to see him battling with his own demons trying to find out what his purpose is.
For story I think this will be great. But I like gadgets.
This story has been in the works for well over a year now. I was reading about it a long time ago, but last I saw they were trying to get like... Aaron Eckhardt (sp?) to play Bruce Wayne.
I like the Ra's Al-Ghul character. He was nutso and creepy, but very cool. Scarecrow has always been kinda... meh... to me. But My expectations are high. I hope they live up to it.
