They did it RIGHT!

Rating: 9/10 (12 August 2005)

I am completely impressed with this film, being a total Batman and DC comics book geek from birth practically. Ra's Al Ghul and Dr. Crane are two of my favorite story lines and characters as far as villains go. This movie is done properly. No matter how much I LOVE Tim Burton, I think this one outdoes the first Batman film by far. No connection to the Joker and Wayne's parents, Ra's was perfect, the history is fantastic...Michael Caine is wonderful...I just absolutely loved it. For any SERIOUS Batman comic fan, you won't be disappointed with this. If you are looking for 10,000 villains with no background (all the Batman villains have a film's worth of background themselves), all of them thrown into the same film and a lot of glitz, glamour and butt shots this is NOT the film for you. If you love the comic and know the story lines I recommend this film, do not miss it. I only hope any future Batman films can be this good and get it all done right. Christian Bale is a fantastic Bruce Wayne/Batman. SEE IT.
