I'm Batman man!

Rating: 9/10 (19 September 2005)

When I first heard the title of this movie I went "Oh brother! They are going to try and resurrect this dead corpse of a franchise!". I was right and wrong. It was a dead franchise, but it has been not just reborn. That would imply the past has something to do with this. This is completely new. It's funny really. This is what the comic book "The Dark Knight" is like. All anyone had to do was read the comic book. This movie was made by a comic reader. Not some person who grew up on Adam West. This person laughed at that stuff. He groaned at Tim Burtons noble try (which quickly sunk from cute to lame). This is way better than I could have hoped for.
We see what makes Batman a bat man. We see how a billionaire Bruce Wayne would take this path. Not just for justice, not to fight bad guys, but to fight fear. We see how is trained. We see how builds his weapons. We see all and believe. Which is the best part about this movie. You actually can believe this could happen. This is one major flaw with having Michael Keaton play Batman. Christian Bale pulls this off wonderfully.
I gave it a 9/10 only because the humor added was not needed.
