THE Batman Movie

Rating: 10/10 (22 October 2006)

Forget the others. They tended to be comedic in comparison (no pun intended). It always seemed to be about who had the bigger codpiece, or the sexier heroine.The Batman comics and graphic novels are much more than costumes and special effects. While those things to play a large roll in bringing the audience into the story and keeping them engaged, the storyline and plot, as well as solid character development are as important, if not more important. The cast(Bale as The Bat and Caine as Alfred...brilliant!) is unparalleled. The direction keeps with the dark, brooding theme that makes the Batman comics so intriguing. The storyline and the morality story presented are timeless. Anticipating the next in the series with excitement! A must see and a must add to one's movie library!
