Vindication

Rating: 9/10 (23 June 2006)

This is what Batman needed after the disaster that were the last Joel Schumacher films. This Batman has a reason to be the way he is and that always adds to the character and the film.
Of course, it might always be simpler to tell a story when it... well, Begins.
But this movie achieves something very interesting: it humanizes the characters. Yes, there's they all come from the comics and yet the film doesn't have a comic vibe -which is not bad, because Tim Burton pulled that off nicely and still kept a bit of the comic vibration in the film-. And even the suspicious casting choices -in my opinion- worked fine under this direction.
It's a good film, action packed but also with some introspection, which would make it tolerable to those who are not into the action for action's sake.
