 Rambles: Batman/Superman/Wonder Woman: Trinity   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-15)
Wagner gives us three equally well-rounded villains, somehow adding depth to Bizzaro (no easy task), more menace to Ras al Ghul (when it would have been easy to make him a stock madman-type) and a heady mixture of boldness and regret to Artemis, who is more real here than she has ever been.
Ras al Ghul has created a formidable army of villains in an attempt to disrupt world communications, a very standard bad-guys-vs.-good-guys plot, but it's fast, light on its feet and easy to read, with loads of action and dialogue that's nearly perfect in that it gets the story across with as few words as possible.
There are a few contrivances, which are forgivable; overall, the book has the delicious feel of a return to a more enjoyable, less angst-ridden age that somehow remains very engaging and modern in its approach.

I also liked the choices of villains: Ras Al Ghul and Scarecrow, although the movie weakens Ras by scaling back his ambitions as compared to his comic book counterpart.
About 45 minutes into the film, Bruce Wayne inexplicably refuses to kill a murderer, even though we've been watching him do nothing but train for just such a function, and then in escaping the League of Shadows, blow up the building in which the man he refused to kill is still trapped.
Later, in the climax, the device that Ras Al Ghul sets off is supposed to use microwaves to vaporize the water supply, but it mysteriously doesn't affect the people around it.

Apparently Ras Al Ghul was remembering his days as a fifth grader burning ants.
