Finally a good Batman movie

Rating: 8/10 (4 October 2005)

The movie tells in a detailed way how Bruce Wayne became Batman. Concentrating on his fears, childhood, training and how he started as Batman. The actors did a good job and the story is most faithful to the comic books from all the Batman movies. The bad guys were good. Ra's Al Ghul was definitely not bad and Scarecrow was great. Sadly the fight scenes were really hard to follow with stupid close ups and fast cuts. I guess you can blame the editor for this and the studio afraid of a higher rating. I remember the old Tim Burton's Batman movies where you could actually see what was happening in the fight scenes. Otherwise a great reboot for the Batman franchise. Something the series needed more than anything.
