Finally, they get him right
This is how Batman is supposed to be. Batman does not arrive in a 4th-of-July-esque hailstorm of flashing lights. He appears, attacks, and vanishes. There should NEVER be a glowing blue bat-mobile. There should NEVER EVER be nippples on the bat suit. That is an atrocity. Possibly a war crime.The earlier films lined up four men too small to be the Dark Knight, and ended up making the films about the villains, not the hero. Batman Begins embraces the darkness spun around the myth of Batman in the decades of comics. Batman isn't cute. Batman punches hard. Bale buries himself in the role, and is the best Caped Crusader to ever play the role.With Bale, Holmes, and an incredible allstar supporting cast (Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, Liam Neeson, Gary Oldham) who combine for 3 Oscars & another 8 nominations, this is easily the Best Batman film to date, and possibly the best comic book film ever. Sorry Spidey.
