Batman Bites Back

Rating: 10/10 (16 December 2005)

After a break from the big screen (8 years, because of Batman & Robin), Batman returns to the big screen, with a brilliant cast, and a brilliant script from David S. Goyer and Christopher Nolan.
I have always been a fan of Batman, and this film finally does the comic books justice, including characters from comic book story lines, such as: The Scarecrow, Ra's Al Ghul, Ducard (who trained Bruce Wayne in the comics, but didn't go bad), and Falcone. Not to mention the dozens of cameos from famous Batman villains, which most people probably missed.
With the psychological edge the film gives courtesy of Nolan and Goyer's screenplay (not to mention the stunning performances by actors such as Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Liam Neeson, Cillian Murphy and Gary Oldman), the Batman series is brilliantly catapulted into the 21st century.
With the promise of a Joker-related sequel, I think I am right in saying that the Bat is definitely back!
