A great new genre of Batman

Rating: 10/10 (15 June 2005)

Wow, this is a whole new genre of Batman. The story is intelligent and moving. This Batman movie is much less of a comic book story than the other Batman films. There was even some profound spiritual wisdom sprinkled here and there. Bruce Wayne growing up and how he became the powerful Batman is very believable and is a whole story in itself. Christian Bale is as good as it gets as batman. Sort of reminds me of Sean Connery never being surpassed as 007. I want one of those Batman cars. It is the best ever bat mobile; all the advanced weaponry stuff is the best. I'm led to believe that a sequel is being made.
I would have liked to see Gary Oldman as the straight detective have a larger part. Gary is such a great talent. The only weakness I might mention is that there could be stronger female roles on the good side as well as on the bad side. I love strong intelligent women.
