Warners Bros decision to restart the Batman series from the beginning without the camp pays off big time

Rating: 9/10 (11 July 2005)

When I heard that Warner Bros decided to restart the DC classic Batman using the Dark Night flavor of the character, I was very hopeful. That hope was realized when I saw the movie. It was a tremendous improvement from the sequels to the first movie. A compelling telling of the Batman origin story and excellent actors surrounding the Batman character makes this movie a must see.
I was hoping that DC Comics and Warner Bros would not surrender the big screen to Marvel. I think that DC really was some great characters, but they need to realize that the camp is comic books (like hero sitting around watching TV in your uniform) does not transfer well to the big screen. Thankfully a restart of the Superman series and well as a Wonder Women movie are in the works. Let's hope they are as good as Batman Begins.
