An amazing Movie, Beautifully paced and fledged out.

Rating: 8/10 (9 June 2005)

This movie better than the Tim Burton movies, as the Tim Burton movies were better than the 60's Adam West movie/TV show. So many aspects the Batman/Bruce Wayne character are fledged out, as well as many of the supporting characters, including Gotham and Wayne Enterprises. I was pleasantly surprised how well the movie came together. The acting is superb and very top notch, by all involved. Christian Bale even as Bruce Wayne had a presence, like no other actor before. He really played the role of Bruce Wayne being a billionaire playboy to cover for him being Batman, extremely well. The psychology behind this and many other aspects of Batman (fear, criminals, dual identity, family heritage etc) are explored and presented with great smarts, nothing is really 'dumbed down' so to say.
