Genuine superhero classic

Rating: 8/10 (2 August 2006)

The story this movie tells lives up to the legend of the series and, in my opinion, adds to it in a great manner. Good cast and a fine performance by the actors. The role of Alfred seems tailor-made for Michael Caine and Christian Bale plays a credible Batman. I bought this movie without having seen it, and I didn't regret it one second.
The story is well written and although I was a bit confused in the beginning, I soon caught up. Even though special effects are an important corner stone of movies like this, I never got the feeling they were overdone nor were they used to cover major plot holes. In one word: enjoyable.
