Batman has TRULY began!!

Rating: 10/10 (17 June 2005)

After enduring many years of waiting for the right portrayal of the dark knight, this movie has finally hit the nail on the head. Everything from start to finish truly grips the viewer into thinking that Batman can be a reality in our world. No more of Batman jumping off rooftops, no more of how unrealistically invulnerable he is, because this movie explains every single detail that makes Batman who he is and how he fights the crime of Gotham through very believable ways.
The casting is fantastic. Christian Bale is perfect. His gripping performance highlights the dilemma that is within Bruce Wayne and also the true angst that surrounds Batman's mood and style of crime fighting. This aspect has always been difficult to portray and yet Christian Bale has done it perfectly. Alfred was great and again, a great snatch by the makers of Batman to cast a wonderful actor in Michael Caine. His portrayal, alike to Thomas Wayne, is the perfect balance that keeps Batman's sanity. The villains are great too. Cilian Murphy is perfect with his quietly psychotic portrayal of the scarecrow and Liam Neeson's very lasting impression of Ra's Al Ghul. Together with Ken Watanbe (his decoy), their exchanges in the movie helped built the character perfectly. Katie Holmes portrayal of Bruce Wayne's love interest though, has seen very little screen time. However, her role in the movie is essential in building and sustaining the idealism that is in Bruce Wayne. Hopefully, We will see her character being further developed in the following Batman movies. Last but not least, the addition portrayals of both Lucius Fox by Morgan Freeman and Commissioner Gordon by Gary Oldman adds the the reality of Batman that in these two, Batman has found great allies in fighting crime.
I must truly say that the dialog, script and the setting of Gotham City is perfect but special mention must go to the creators of the new Batmobile. It is AWESOME! the structure of the vehicle, the chase scenes... fantastic to the very end.
Last but not least, i would like to thank the team of Batman of choosing the right concept and theme for Batman - fear, that will grip the hearts of villains and criminals alike. And for all those out there guessing who the next villain will be... he will be back by popular demand, playing Batman's arch nemesis, and all batman fans out there will be eager to find out who will be casted into that role.
Thank you to all that contributed to the perfect movie for all Batman fans worldwide
