In depth look at how Batman came to be

Rating: 10/10 (18 July 2005)

Christian Bale is an ACE!(besides being a total heartthrob)...Finally, some back story and explanation for how Batman came to be. Besides being action packed, which gives all of the classic Batman fans what they need, there is a real plot besides a homicidal maniac creating chaos in Gotham City. Be prepared for a very dark storyline that follows Bruce Wayne on his path from childhood, through his training, to when he finally becomes Batman.
Christian's portrayal of Batman is unique and oppressive (as he was meant to be). The voice changeover from Bruce Wayne to Batman is very dramatic and effective, a really vivid metaphor for the two characters he plays. Batman is as we have never seen him, dark, oppressive, and terrifying (but in a good way). You are also sympathetic, as you are drawn into the character of Bruce Wayne. Be prepared to be sucked into this story, and anticipate a new beginning for the character Batman to appeal to interest more than the villains. The best Batman movie I have ever seen, Christian is a surprising, but inspired choice! Hope to see more, and hopefully Batman will stay as intriguing in any sequels as he was in this movie.
