Rating: 9/10 (1 July 2019)

Amazing film. goes in depth into the psychological aspects of Bruce Wayne and how he became Batman. Perfect opening to the trilogy. Showed the true essence of Batman. He is a ninja, he uses stealth over brute force.
amazing story and story-telling, amazing musical score. amazing dialogue, so many quotable lines with deep meaning that continues to stick with you long after viewing. so many goosebump-inducing moments. amazing directing with the exception of some of the fight scenes. i love this movie so much (6 viewings)

He mastered his own childhood fear of bats. Mastered, not conquered. He still fears the bats, but lives among them so that he is capable of fully functioning and making proper decisions in the face of fear. He also uses fear against his enemies, against those who prey on the fear of others. phenomenal story.
