A Beautiful Comeback

Rating: 10/10 (15 June 2005)

Going in to the theatre, I was rather skeptic about the quality of the performance that I was about to see, however I have to say that the Batman series has made a comeback that is absolutely unsurpassed. For those of you expecting to see another Batman and Robin: tough luck. This is a quality production, which although not quite in the tone of the previous ones, is still a masterpiece. It starts out a little bit rickety with childhood and adolescence scenes, but believe me these are very necessary for the plot. The essential story line is like this: during the time when Bruce's parents are killed, Gotham city is in a horrible depression and although his parents are attempting to fix this, they are not capable to do much. They are then killed by robbers as we all saw in the original Batman except with a few tiny changes, which really aren't that important. Bruce grows up a sad, depressed boy who is forever brooding about his parents' death. After a bit, when he is perhaps 20some he leaves do understand the dark mind of a criminal, already brooding the revenge of his parents. He encounters an organization that trains him and then attempts to use him to destroy Gotham City. He has a little bit of a conflict with them (to put it lightly) and then goes home to begin his fight against crime. What he doesn't realize is that the worst is yet to come.
