more Batman thoughts

[ivyfic]

Throughout that whole movie, I was struck by just how young Batman is to be doing what he's doing. I'm so used to seeing Batman as a 40-year-old that seeing the same drive and determination in him when he's in his late twenties is a little frightening.

Also, seeing a very little Barbara Gordon, knowing that she's going to have a liason with Bruce once she's the Batgirl, is just kind of - sick.

And I have to point out that Bruce has very strong morals in this film and no sense of collateral damage. No, I will not kill a murderer in cold blood. But I will blow up the house he's in, causing him and many other people to die.

Re: 2. Though the comic canon doesn't always agree, there was at one point a Jim Gordon Junior, though I think he was supposed to be Barbara's older brother. My memory is fuzzy, though, and I'd have to look it up.
