Best of the batman films

Rating: 8/10 (11 January 2006)

Upon hearing that Christopher Nolan would be directing this movie, I had high hopes for this movie and was not disappointed. Nolan managed to capture much of the Dark Knight's motivation and obsession with fighting crime and Bale portrayed both Bruce Wayne and Batman very convincingly. All of the actors, particularly Oldman, Caine and Neeson. were excellent in their respective roles. I especially enjoyed the detail that went into an examination of how Batman came to be and the development of the Batmobile and his other devices. It would be nice to see a Batman film that did not feel the need to include a love interest, as this was never part of the character in the comics. The hint at possible villains being included in sequels was a great finishing touch.
