A masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (14 March 2006)

Everything Batman was originally intended to be. This movie surpassed my expectations and made its way onto my top 5 of all time list. The acting was superb, especially from Bale. It helped that everyone fit the profile of the character they were playing. Bale was perfect as both Bruce and Batman (a balance no other actor has been able to find) Michael Caine was PERFECT as Alfred and really brought what had become a forgotten character in the movies into the forefront. Liam Neeson fit Ra's Al Ghul in everything from appearance to mannerisms. His performance was truly great. It's just a shame the actual Ducard character wasn't and probably won't be used. Cillian Murphy really made Scarecrow a terrifying character which took some work. Finally, Gary Oldman WAS Jim Gordon. He was just too perfect to be true.
Amazing movie.
