I enjoyed it.   It's more like the original comic serial.  Good story, 
action, effects.  They did set it up for sequels too.   You'll love the 
Tumbler, "does it come in black?".
The laptop I got wasn't for gaming.  It's only 1.5 ghz mobile celly.  It's 
pretty good for the photo and imaging on the fly, playing DVD movies and 
burning data disks when i'm out.
I got in so late yesterday I didn't even install any of the games, will 
tonight and give them a look :)
McG.
