Bat out of hell

Article Abstract:

Talking about the movie Batman Begins, slated for release in 2005, the director is convinced that the movie should do well at the turnstiles even though many feel that viewer interest in the series is waning. Warner Brothers' boss had only one mandate when he took over in 2000 and that was to bring Batman back to the theaters at the earliest and like the director says if the movie has to do well it is up to the director to be convinced of its success.
