The best Batman movie ever!

Rating: 9/10 (19 July 2006)

Before Mr Freeze and Poison Ivy. before Two-Face and Riddler, before Penguin and Cat Woman, even before Jocker - Gotham city was ruled by ruthless crimelords, wrecked with corruption, and fear of the people who mattered to eradicate the problems. This movie tells the story on how young Bruce Wayne becomes what he was destined to be, Batman, the last remaining hope of Gotham from complete destruction.
With the ever impressive Christian Bale (since his flawless performance in Steven Spielberg's Empire of the Sun) as Batman, Christopher Nolan has made a an excellent move in appointing Bale as the superhero (Joel Schumacher seems to have lost his head completely by referring George Clooney to play Batman). With other great Hollywood stars such as Michael Caine as Alfred, Gary Oldman as Jim Gordon, Katie Holmes as Rachel Dawes, Cilian Murphy as Dr Crane, Tom Wilkinson as Carmine Falcone, Morgan Freeman as Lucius Fox, and Liam Neeson as Batman's first foe (Ra's Al Ghul), this is a must see movie for all Batman lovers!
Even if you are a grown-up adult and not so into superhero movies, I still recommend you to watch this as there are no kiddy stuffs in the movie. Batman has finally grown up and DC Comics couldn't be more proud.
A true 9/10 masterpiece!
