Be advised, though... it makes All Star Bats look respectful by comparison.
It sounded pretty bad to me...probably because Miller co-wrote it, and it has become painfully obvious to me in recent years that his work does not translate well directly to film. Also, it seemed to have departed so drastically from the Batman mythos that it was barely a Batman movie at all.
I thought Nolan's version had some weaknesses, but it was with a few bits of trite dialogue(the Goyer touch!) and poor acting performances from certain ex-Dawson's Creek stars. It's possible to make a truly interesting, unique film and still retain the core of the character. As much as I like Aronofsky, he didn't seem too interested in trying that out.
