Possibly the best produced movie of this summer!!!!

Rating: 10/10 (2 July 2005)

This new batman shows us a completely different yet accurate approach toward the superheros past and the reason he was to become batman.
Haunted by the murder of his parents on the streets of Gotham City, Bruce Wayne takes his multi-million inheritance and scours the globe for inspiration. He learns combat from ninja Ra's Al Ghul, inner control from Henri Ducard and dress sense from his ever loyal butler, Alfred. Rejecting the ninja methods, he returns to Wayne Mansionto fight a one-man crusade against crime as the fearsome body-armoured Batman....
This film is grim, grittier, extremely darker and has much more action than any of its predecessors. A brilliant movie and I hope at some point they will be talking about no. 2 with the resurrected arch-villain Joker wrecking havoc among the public.
