I haven't seen the movie.
But I did see a couple of clips here and there.
And by damn, it almost looks like ol Batty is using something like Aikido in the film.
My heart flutters. Defensive arts displayed in a Holywood film?
Aikido is the only martial art I have ever felt passionate about. It is the true art. There are no belts. Your most powerful enemy is self. And there are no little kids running around as 5th degree blackbelts or whatever.
I might be wrong, maybe it was just the editing of the clip or something, but it looks as if they were showing actual defensive posture, instead of glitzy glammy kung fu nonsense.
This almost makes sense, given that Batman had to trained in reflective and deflective measures to use his gauntlets properly.
Oh man... I feel sick. A movie where somebody did their homework on fighting styles. It can't be true. I must be wrong.
Please, please, somebody that knows what they are talking about tell me if this is true.

All alone, or in twos,
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall.
Some hand in hand
And some gathered together in bands.
The bleeding hearts and artists
Make their stand.
And when they've given you their all
Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad buggers wall.
"Isn't this where...."
