Rating: 10/10 (15 June 2005)

This is it. The quintessential film that truly defines not just great movie making but also does justice to translating the magic of comic books to the silver screen. Forget the previous Batmans, Spidermans, X-men movies and you would insult the film to even compare it to the embarassments that were Daredevil, or Elektra. This movie beats all. True it is not 100% DC continuity accurate. But what it gives forgives the strays from comic plot. Phenomenal character development, dark criminal element, layers and betrayals that make comics so interesting and intelligent. Christopher Nolan did a perfect job. Christian Bale never ceases to amaze. And Murphy's Scarecrow characterization, as well as costume aligned with the above par rating that each and every portion of this film displayed. I will see it again and again. -Consistant Movie-goer
