Not an easy task to follow up The Dark Knight 2008, but this film does in almost every way.
The scale of this film is huge. It blends the comic-book fantasy with realism in a way that the marvel films don't. Its also much more serious in tone.
Bain's mask adds physical mystery to the character and his identity but the altered voice doesn't work for me. And although you're restricted to get all the characters into play at the right time within the time-fram of a film there are lots of people turning up just in the nick of time! Something you don't notice in the 2008 film. There are so many great twists and story lines within the film you never get bored or feel the story is lagging behind.
There is so much potential for expansion in the Batman story and they have extracted all that they could. Batman struggles in this film and you struggle with him. I loved it
