Life in the old bat yet

Rating: 9/10 (16 March 2006)

Well, where did they pull this corker from? with Batman and Robin forever scared in my memory I felt Spiderman and forthcoming Superman were the only hope left for the super hero's.
Was I wrong? - yes way out. Christian Dale was bred for it and when you have a supporting cast that includes Caine, Freeman and Oldman you are already half winning but then if you then add a little Neeson, and a bit of a back story then you have made a 'stayer'.
Very enjoyable and to be honest there are not many films in the last 5 years that have had my attention to watch them more than once - Batman Begins has surpassed this with honours.
I loved it, they scrapped everything and went back to the roots, brought back the dark to the story and the light to the characters.
This is a must see, even the car is brilliant, they even had a good story on how the car (the tumbler) came about.
The 'baddies are good (but not excellent) but they (hollywood) have finally learnt not to kill the best bad guys at the end of the film unlike the Joker and the Penguin.
Buy the film!!! you will not be disappointed.
