Rating: 5.0
batman as nature intended
gone are the campy over the top villans of the last movie series. no adam west silliness either. here we have a story in which we can suspend our disbelief and actually get into the character of bruce wayne/batman. the previous celluloid batmen were little more than cardboard cutouts, but this one lives and breathes. i was a bit skeptical about the new batmobile design but after seeing it in action i am now a believer. i hope this is the beginning of a long and fruitful franchise for the venerable dark knight. the bonus features on the second disk were informative and enjoyable with several mini-documentaries about set and costume design, action sequences, and a very nice segment about the comic writers and artists that were the most inspirational for this film. the bonus comic is also a nice addition to the package.
