This sounds awful…

Battier and Battier | Chronicles. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)

What troubles me almost as much is the film’s lack of entertainment value. It’s slow and ponderous, with a plot that makes little sense. A criminal named the Penguin seems to run a night club whose habitués indulge in a cocaine-like substance. He’s intent on destroying his competitors and is untroubled by law enforcement, though he and his cohorts do suffer repetitive beatings under the fists of the Batman. What drives our hero’s ferocity? The film doesn’t explain.
