The Best Batman Yet!

Rating: 8/10 (10 August 2005)

This is the fifth outing for the DC Comics character and the best. The film takes a dark twist with the arrival of the new director Christopher Nolan and this is what Batman needed. A fresh look. The film tells the story of Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale), when one night, he is with his parents and they are murdered in front of him. From then on Bruce Wayne seeks revenge on the killer, and he is beaten to it when he is killed in front of him by another person. He then makes his way to the far east seeking counsel.
He undergoes physical and mental training by Ducard (Liam Neeson) so he can fight injustice. On his return to Gotham City, Lucius Fox (Morgan Freeman) helps him to become Batman. the film was a hard task for the creators but they have made a great job and made this the best Batman yet. All the actors are great, especially Katie Holmes who plays Rachael, Bruce Waynes childhood sweetheart. An enjoyable experience. Next up the Joker.
