Batman Begins (Having Boundary Issues)
December 3rd, 2011 — the day Saturday Night Live finally discovered that Christian Bale Batman impressions can be funny. It’s only a couple of years behind the zeitgeist, so that’s pretty much right on time for SNL.
I kid, I kid. It’s not like making fun of Christian Bale Batman ever goes out of style, as College Humor has proven over and over again. I wouldn’t necessarily rank this as high as CH’s best, but it certainly adds something to have Steve Buscemi playing Jim Gordon. Thanks to everyone who sent in the tip.
