The Dark Knight Returns...!!!

Rating: 10/10 (17 June 2005)

Last night I went to see the new Batman picture. I love what Micheal Keaton, Michelle Pfeiffer, Jack Nicholson and Tim Burton did in the first and second Batman Motion pictures and I was thrilled and frightened when I heard that Christian Bale would now pose as the Caped Crusader. He is an incredible actor without doubt, but I was not sure if he fitted 'my image' of Batman. Now I know better, this guy is Batman! As much as Micheal Keaton is for me, as much as the Comic book hero! Now Batman lives in a real run down big city, that leaves you yearning for a dark knight! Everything feels so real!
Christopher Nolan really hit the nerve. Even without the super-duper Batman villain Joker, who alone is reason enough to make a movie, he created a fast paced, character and conflict driven action movie that I rank among the best superhero movies next to X-Men 2!
