The Dark Knight Has Return

Rating: 10/10 (16 June 2005)

I was disappointed with the Batman series. The first two movies were great. The last two movies were horrible for a number of reasons, especially because of the loss of Tim Burton & Micheal Keaton. Last year when I heard another Batman movie was being filmed I asked why. Why are they trying to kill my favorite comic book character by turning Batman into a joke? But I didn't give up all hope yet. As I followed the production they said it was a prequel to the original Batman movie which will return Batman back to being the Dark Knight and not the joke of the last two movies. Upon watching the movie last night I couldn't believe how great it was. The story and the cast was great with the exception Katie Holmes. She was miscast and looked too young to play an Asst. D.A. The action was well done and very realistic. This movie is better than the original. Despite Katie Holmes not looking the part it dosen't really take away from this excellent movie.
