Was George Barris there with the car?
No, I don't think so. I think this is a dup. :-D Still fun to see.

You guys are forgetting one major thing. Batman Begins was a prequil to all the previous Batmans. Bale may very well be purposely portraying Bruce/Batman in a specific way to shed some light on how his character use to be. Yes, Keaton portrayed a stoich Batman in the earlier movies, but those movies are suppose to occur after Batman Begins. Maybe they're having Bale act that way so they can show the evolution in maturity of Bruce Wayne.
Batman Begins isn't a movie for you if you a) don't like the first movies, or b) not into Batman that much. The 1989 Batman was split into Batman Begins and Dark Knight to focus more upon Bruce wayne and how he became batman, for those who didn't read the comics, and now it should focus on Batman due to the Joker being in this one.
EDIT: It is both a reboot and a prequil of the first one.
Hmmmmm, Christian Bale is looking pretty fine in that Batman get-up...;-)
Here ya go guys, from a car show we entered last month here in Los Angeles.
