The best portrayal of Batman

Rating: 8/10 (21 November 2005)

I wasn't sure what to expect of this movie since it's predecessors have been so different from one another and from this version. This is my favorite by far, and I think Christian Bale is great in the role of Batman. He has the size and the attitude to be believable as a "super hero." I liked Michael Keaton, but for me Christian Bale is much better suited to the part. It was good to get the back story on how and why he became Batman. The cast was super, too. Can't go wrong with actors like Morgan Freeman, Liam Neeson and Gary Oldman. I'm happy to see that a sequel with Christian and Michael Caine is planned. Hopefully it will be a well-written, entertaining film.
