Best Batman movie until Dark Night

Rating: 8/10 (20 September 2008)

Wow! This movie works for me, way better than any of the Batman films from the past. Tim Burton is a genius but his Batman was somewhere between reality and comic-world, it had absolutely no credibility. Nolan chose another angle, this movie is more action but contains the fantasy elements too, in a more believable way. Bale seemed a weird choice to me for a future-blockbuster considering that he played mainly in artistic, less-known movies, but it payed off in the end. The biggest surprise 140 minutes of the past years.
And knowing the fact that Bale did the interviews for this movie with an American accent because he thought that would be appropriate for an actor who plays an American comic strip-hero... I appreciate the film even more.
