Yeah that's what made Burton's Batman suck so bad. Too many a-listers. LOL Give me a break! Too much A-list talent? Yeah that’s what made Burton’s Batman suck so bad. Too many a-listers.

All are respected actors but all are just under that line of superstardom which is good. Eckhart is begining to get famous, Christian Bale's big break out role was Batman begins, and Maggie G and Ledger how now arrived in meaningful films. It's certainly no Ocean's 11.

I definitely wouldn't go that far. I suppose Heath Ledger is getting up there, but Christian Bale, Aaron Eckhart and Maggie Gyllenhaal are hardly household names. It's the character that's ridiculous. Not the actress. I definitely wouldn't agree it was the weakest part of the first movie, but it was a bad character. Just get rid of the whole "Bruce Wayne is a real person, we need to focus on his character etc. etc." nobody cares about that bullshit. I still think of that comment Jay made about turning calculators into supercomputers and it totally applies. I like Batman, I liked how the suit looked in the first one, so if they just get rid of all the Bruce Wayne moping around cliché'd issues, I'm game for some Joker action. This doesn't change how I feel about the movie though, since the character is what needs to be dealt with. A-list talent eh? I definitely wouldn’t go that far.
