The Perfect Batman Movie

Rating: 9/10 (19 June 2005)

The best batman movie by far. Everything they did was spot on. From the murder of Bruce Waynes parents, to his training to even how he became batman. I saw elements of Frank Miller's novels and the original batman comics. Very impressed. As for the gadgets, only the bat boomerang was missing, although they perhaps tried to introduce a more realistic gadget in the bat stabber. The reason why this movie is so successful is because it tells you everything you need to know about batman. Many people forget that Batman is a detective, in this film you saw Batman doing investigative work. Batman also installs fear and interrogates his opponents you saw that in this movie. However one thing I was deeply impressed with that the film highlighted was that Bruce Wayne is the disguise. In the comics Bruce acts like a drunker billionaire to protect the people closest to him. Batman is his real persona. I've read other reviews and some of them are complaining wheres the fun, its too serious. Thats the whole point, Batman is dark and grim and Gotham in the comic books is considered to be one the worst cities in America. All I have got to say is go and see this movie. This really is the beginning of Batman, this is how it should be. So where does the franchise go from here. It would be nice if they could introduce Nightwing and the Tim Drake version of Robin. As for villains, they could use firefly, ventriloquist, Mad Hatter or maybe even Sin Ztu introduced in the latest batman game (and of course the joker). Bane would be good but only if they used him properly. I hope more DC comic book films are made,then they could do a justice league movie. Now that would really be a smash hit. As for Batman, welcome back to the big time.
