Not the usual superhero movie

Rating: 9/10 (22 October 2005)

This is a great film I saw it at the cinema originally and was blown away I have just brought it on DVD and it is just as good . Firstly I am a big Batman fan and I thought the first two with Keaton directed by Burton were very good and then they went off the boil so when I knew they were going with it again but in a different direction I was very pleased . Christian Bale is excellent portraying a man coming to terms with his past and his anger and eventually becoming Batman wanting to do good and thats what Batman is a story of an guy who wants to achieve justice not vengeance . The whole movie isn't really to me a superhero film its just a story of a guy finding himself and then deciding to dress up as a bat .
Everyone else is very good in this Oldman, Caine, Hauer, freeman all convey and add to the movie holmes is out of place .
A really good addition to the franchise and I look forward to the second one
