Holy! Epic! Batman!

Rating: 10/10 (20 July 2012)

Billionaire Bruce Wayne once said, "I am moreit's what you do that defines you." The question is: what defines us all? The fire has risen and that fire has been put out, but not yet though. One thing still remains: Is there a future for the billionaire playboy? Enough about playboys, let's chat about how we got here.
In 2005, we were re-introduced to a boy who fell down a well and we saw what frightened him the most – bats. But he overcame that fear and struck fear into the hearts of those that knew the very existence of fear. Fighting against the mob, Batman took down the biggest crime lords of Gotham City – Carmine Falcone and gave the Scarecrow a taste of his own medicine.
But in 2008, the war was not over, not even by a landslide. As Bruce Wayne was having battles of his own, Batman was posed as a threat to the city and plus a mastermind of theatricality, a brain as the size of a laughing matter, brought a new taste in life – SLAUGHTER WAS THE BEST MEDICINE! The Joker (RIP Heath!), portrayed one of the darkest villains of all time as he brought down upon the city and the new DA Harvey Dent and gave the word "light" a new name.
Now we come to 2012, no one expected this to come to a conclusion, we thought we were in it for the long haul. Let's just say it was bittersweet and a whole lot of punches and back breaking. The ultimate villain, Bane, gave violence a new name. A name that was synonymous unlike any other. But Bane was not working alone. An arch-enemy came back to finish a job but through someone else. And the black was faded and billionaire was living his life and moving on. But wait something red approaches, something that will fly red colors – is it a red monster, is it a red wagon, no it is a RED ROBIN.
For 8 years, the mastermind of Christopher Nolan and his brother Jonathon gave Batman a new look and took the story to a whole new level. Thank you for teaching us that it is what we do that defines us. Christian Bale – you gave us an icon to live up to, you taught us to live for ourselves. Thank you. From Cillian Murphy to Tom Wilkinson to the late Heath Ledger to Aaron Eckhart to Tom Hardy to Anne Hathaway to Marion Cotillard – you guys defined evil. Thank you.
Batman will live in our hearts for years to come.
