Better than the first Batman Movie

Rating: 8/10 (16 June 2005)

I would consider this is the most accurate of all the Batman movie to date, despite the update in technology. It has that dark knight feel to it. Less happy/comical moment, more gloom and seriousness. Now this is Batman.
However, I feel Christian Bale may not be the best actor for the costume or Bruce Wayne. I think he looks too.... ordinary.
Just out of curiosity, why is Kathy Holmes in the movie? I don't remember her character in any of the comics. Or they just need to add an ornament to the almost all male cast? I certainly hope she will not be in the next movie, her character serve no purpose in there.
This movie does feel like Frank Miller's Year 1, which I so happen to own.
