The New Beginning

Rating: 9/10 (15 June 2005)

I would consider myself to be one of Tim Burton's biggest fans. I was disappointed after Joel Schumacher took the reigns of the original series, as Batman and Batman Returns were simply priceless in the world of comic book movies. So naturally, I have been hoping, ever since I heard about this project, that Nolan would somehow help the Batman series recover from it's dive into the deepest pits of the shitcave. After seeing it at midnight last night, and again this afternoon. I am so happy to report, that not only was it up to par with Burton's original movies. but it surpassed them. Nolan's rendition of the story could very easily spawn a second, more outstanding, line of new Batman movies. I have nothing else to say but, see this movie... more than once.
