How the Batsuit Works

An anonymous reader writes "Batman's outfit plays a much more prominent role in Batman Begins than it did in the previous films. And a lot of the technology actually seems plausible. This HowStuffWorks article explains all its features."

    This is all fine, but does it have the newest technology of ATPD (tm)? ATPD, for the uninitiated, is Automatic Toilet Paper Dispenser. Integrating this technology with the suit will be non-trivial. How do they store the redundant backups and how do they do Garbage collection(tm)?
    Figure that out first, or else the Batman is going to stink out Katie Holmes!

    I just got home from seeing this and i am feeling pretty disappointed.The first half of the movie is pretty good. It flows really nice and tries to explain everything really quick but i wish they would of showed maybe more of the training and what not. The second half i felt was put together really sloppy. The movie movies so fast and everything happens all at once. The movie had no climax, they fight and out of no where everything happens..
    The goods... The acting and actors were all pretty good and the dialogue flowed nicely, some of the fight scenes were planned out pretty nice.
    The bad. first thing, in the flash backs if you notice the cars, they are all fairly new cars and when they go to the present nothing changes... so within the time of the parents murder and when bruce comes back to gothem nothing changes.. They must of missed that one. Christian bales voice as batman was laughable.. why would you talk with that voice.The spx looked really bad, maybe next time nolan will used CGI and hire ILM to do them. the batman mask looked terrible. the mouth part of the mask made his mouth look somewhat fake and pushed and squeezed in, maybe next time they will hire stan wintson to design it.. Katie Homles is terrible.

    Some of the fight scenes were to hectic, you couldn't understand what was even going on half of the time. Next the second half of the film seemed to be so forced that it didn't even have a climax, a part were you feel like the movie did a 360 and you have no idea whats next. scarecrow.. terrible. I mean come on.. tazer to the face what the hell are the odds of the happening. the lists goes on,there alot of things that they could of done to make it a lot better but all well. but over all it is just a ok film, not great but not terrible. but yet nothing beats Batman (1989). maybe they will get it right with batman begins Again.. I just hope they get Jack N. to be the Joker again because you never rub another man's rubar. but its worth the 10 buy when it comes out on DVD..Maybe I'll see it again

    Don't use Firefox, despite what they tell you, it's shit. Best you use IE or Opera if you're so dead against IE (Which is a damn fine browser, by the way)
    You are absolutely correct. The only reason _They_ are telling you to use firefox is because of "The conspiracy." The developers of Firefox have been saying that it sucks for years. The millions of users? All fake. The whole 'project' is funded by Torvalds in another one of his pitiful attempts to thwart the noble Microsoft. They aren't even charging for the damn browser! of course it is shit!
    We've stumbled upon a great conspiracy here, not only are _they_ telling you to use a shitty browser, but to use Open Source Software. Don't believe them either, OSS is another one of Torvalds petty conspiracy's to overthrow microsoft. There can never be another browser, if there is, it must be shit.

    There's some flash animation concerning a shitload of fireworks, etc. if you keep clicking the animation and setting off fireworks within the box, FF will give you a blue screen. I found this out the hard way on a P4 1.8 GHz 512 PC2100 DDR and a 128 meg GF4 vid card.

    Nothing is infallible, grasshopper.
