What is the big deal?

*Spoiler* Alert!

I recently downloaded this movie from the net after hearing people endlessly raving about it. Kevin Smith claims this is the best Batman movie ever made but of course he would say that, considering he has an ongoing feud with Tim Burton. This movie was unimaginative and offered nothing new to what I've already seen. In short, I could have made this movie if I had $30,000 to spend. I could definitely have come up with a better storyline than this, that's for sure. The Joker escapes from Arkham Asylum and Batman confronts him in a darkened alley but The Joker isn't the only foe he encounters. Batman has to fight an Alien and The Predator. The ending has Batman sandwiched between a group of Aliens and Predators and then the credits roll, how original is that? If Sandy Collora was offering Warner Bros. a lifeline to direct the then vacant Batman movie he offered nothing new. I'm glad it has since gone to Chris Nolan who is an extremely talented director and would love to see his take on Bats. I don't doubt Sandy Collora's love for comic books because I can tell he is a very passionate fan. I respect him for that but this movie is not innovative and is NOT the best Batman adaptation ever seen, that would be Tim Burton's Batman (1989).
