The perfect super-hero origin story film

Rating: 7/10 (7 January 2020)

The first film of Nolan's Batman trilogy is iconic and memorable, as the other 2 parts as well. But for being the first one, it has its charm. The film capture what's Batman stands for and his essence perfectly. The idea, the symbol of Batman, something that the trilogy focus on, it's not shallow and really well done. Christian Bale is very good as Bruce Wayne, unfortunely his Batman voice was a letdown for me, but I easily forget it, it's not that big of a problem. Finally, Gordon has the treatment he deserves, and being played by Gary Oldman makes it better. I love the graphic novel Year One by Frank Miller, where Jim Gordon is the protagonist in a way, and they definetely took inspiration from there, which is great. Scarecrow and Ra's Al Ghul were fine, Liam Neeson perfomance convinced me, too bad he appeared shortly. Caines's Alfred and Lucius Fox were great too. I enjoyed this film very much, seeing one of you favorite directors making a film about one of your favorite characters isn't usual.
