Best Batman yet...

Rating: 10/10 (28 March 2006)

When I first went to see this movie I knew it was gonna be a hit. I mean, it totally explains everything while starting the whole series over (that's the cue for a sequel, especially after you see the joker card at the end).
At first you may think that it's getting off kinda slow, but that's just the brilliant way the director Christopher Nolan sets up the plot. After that the whole thing gets really good with plenty of action, but not too much to set off the movie.
There are some great new gadgets, some clearing up why batman doesn't end up in a bloodbath every time he goes to work, if you know what I mean. The new car was also a sensation with the overly cool stealth mode! Unlike the old Batman series I'm hoping that Christian Bale (who by the way did a superb job portraying Batman) will stay the original batman, instead of there being a new batman for every movie.
What made this Batman so great was that it was dark for once, instead of being candy-coated like the old movies. They had too much humor in them, but this one portrayed what being Batman was all about. Great job Nolan! You've set the bar for further sequels!!!
