Batmans true comic origins finally:

Rating: 10/10 (24 July 2013)

Epic Batman gets the film we have all waited for (masterpiece).
I must say many comic book movies have neither the depth or interest to get you involved in the film, this had everything. The cast are the strongest of any film of DC/Warner to date and Ledger is mesmerising as the chaotic joker. I first saw this on opening night in Leeds the cinema was packed and people were sitting on the floor it was that full!! The film stands head and shoulders amongst the other two Nolan batman films and for good reason. The reason this is such a strong film is the direction, Nolan knows how to weave the correct story and place the right actors into their affiliated roles.
Bale is great as the brooding batman and Ledger is a worthy opponent mentally. Gary Oldman is great as commissioner Gordon and the acting is out of this world good from all involved. You can see why they chose Ledger, as he has brought a whole new joker to the world.
The story concentrates some time after the events of Batman Begins and Batman has been successfully cleaning the streets of Gotham with great effect. Now though, comes a new criminal-mastermind; the joker he pushes batman to his limits and boy does the emotion show, Bale conveys it well. the police still weary of batman in his assist of crime are now faced with a danger more threatening. Also in this film occurs the arrival of Harvey Dent aka two-face and he looks awesome the cgi here is very well done and not exaggerated to disbelief.
The film in short is a monumental achievement I could go on, but I think you should just watch this is short....an absolute must for batman fans like I said at the beginning, a masterpiece.
