The writing style was more character driven, and it was heavy with Bruce Wayne. But after coming back to this book, it was a very captivating story. Although I started it over a year ago and wasn't impressed with the beginning of the book, I think I may just have been burned out a little from reading superhero novels at the time, having read the first two Batman movie novelizations plus six different X-men books. Val Kilm Of the three film novelizations I have read so far, this one was the best. Nicole Kidman is pretty stupid (she throws herself all over Batman).Of the three film novelizations I have read so far, this one was the best. In the comics, he switches back and forth from compassionate Harvey Dent to deadly Two-Face in Batman Forever, the entire time he is crazy and hardly interesting. Two-Face was a second-rate villain and nothing like in the comics.

Furthermore, The Riddler was played by Jim Carrey who, though doing a good job, was a little too kooky for Batman films. Batman doesn't need help by a teenager it just adds extra dollars to the film which could be used to get a director that knows what he's doing. When I first saw the original Batman, I asked how can this be without Robin. Batman himself was changed into a somewhat cheesy costume and he was given Robin to aid him. The Batmobile was transformed into a glowing hunk of metal that bobbed as it drove. Gotham was turned from a shadowy city to a colorful one, neon colors and all.

But, when Joel Schumacher took over, things went awry. The first two movies had been dark and serious with fairly good plots and incredible acting. Sad I was when I realized what had happened to the Batman franchise.
