Bats is back to the spotlight!

Rating: 10/10 (27 July 2016)

When Batman Begind was announced ,they were already several attempts to bring back Batman to the Big Screen after 1997, but all of them failed. Then Christofer Nolan fresh after Memento, was hired in order to direct this movie and he cast Christian Bale, who had made a name for himself with roles in American Phycho(2000), Equilibrium(2002) and the Machinist(2004),but he hadn't become an A-list actor yet. In general although the team for this movie was looking good, everyone was worried that this would be a flop many criticized the cast of Bale as "not Batman enough".
Then the flick came out in June of 2005 and took the world by storm, for it wasn't just the film fan wanted ,but also the one which they needed and deserved. Now it may made less than the Batman of 1989, but comparing it in box office numbers with the rest of Batman film, it was the second in the list. As for the audience and critics loved it for its darker more realistic tone and the felling that it wasn't just a superhero movie,like the Spiderman movies and X-men, but a crime drama ,with a vigilante in an awesome Batsuit and some terrifying villains to face.
Now let's see why the film rocks: Firstly the casting is close to pitch perfect, everyone from Morgan Freeman's Luscious Fox to Micheal Cane's Alfred and Garry Oldman's James Gordon are as good as they could get and the cherry on top Christian Bale as the Caped Crusader, one of the best casting choices in superhero history and in film in general. He is totally in his role and you really come to understand why he turn to such extreme ways to fight crime.
Secondary the designs ,from the Gotham City area ,to the Bat Cave and prisons are great. The show stole two thing the Batsuit and the New Batmobile, the Tumbler. The suit itself is great,though a bit bulky to say the truth, but the design and the gadgets on it are so realistic that at times you think "wait can this be real?", as for the Tumbler, it is my personal favorite Batmobile for it gets it anything right that is necessary for a good Batmobile, the mobility, speed and usefulness and it adds to it some tricks that are too awesome to write them down ,just go watch!
Finally the last part that made me give to the film a 10 out of 10 was themes. In short the main was fear and how do you deal with it, for Batman is at his core than victory of man over fear against pain, injustice and for a minor theme inside the flick ,the legacy you are going to leave after you are done. The second major theme is the definition of justice and here is where the other core value of Bats comes out, he refuses to kill, no matter the situation for as he says "I am not going to become the enforcer of the law!"!
In the the film's impact can be seen in the cinema as well in the Bond series, Star Trek and to the X-men films after 2005. In short this is one of the most historic films in the superhero genre and many non- superhero films also have elements of it in them. To EVERYONE go watch it immediately!
