The Best Batman Since the First One

Rating: Null/10 (25 September 2007)

Christian Bale did a great job translating the darker side of Batman, and the whole history as to how he became Batman was fascinating. Great action, awesome director. A close second to Burton's first Batman.
I thought the love story between Bale and Holmes was pretty solid, too, and sad at the end. The Scarecrow character was wild, but kind of a throw-away villain. And the real villain's evil plan at the end was a little too complex and convoluted to follow - but the action sequence and the way it was directed held my attention from start to finish.
If you're a Christian Bale fan, don't miss this movie. It's amazing how he pumped up for this after scaling down to like, 120, for The Machinist. He is one of the finest actors today.
