Julia Reed: Christian Bale? Sexy as Hell ... Katie Holmes? Silly

By Julia Reed
In response to: Why is the new Batman movie, 'The Dark Knight,' breaking records at the box office?
Julia Reed
Because Heath Ledger is scarily brilliant, just so, so amazingly good. Because Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman give their usual flawless performances. Because Christian Bale is sexy as hell and Aaron Eckhart ain’t bad either. Because lovely Maggie Gyllenhaal is so much more compelling than silly Katie Holmes was in the same role. And then there is the Batmobile.

I have to say that I thought Tim Burton’s version with Michael Keaton was far and away the best of the Batman movies. But I was thrilled to see this because there is so little else in the theaters this summer worth seeing.

Oh, Julia! You may never get to interview Katie Holmes after that comment; her husband carries grudges! I know you must be worried about what that might do to your career. :-)
