I can't wait!!!!
This movie was finally done the way I've been waiting for a superhero adaptation to be done, not afraid to veer slightly away from comic book mannerisms in order to adapt the film to reality a bit. Kids would, at first, wonder: Is this really Batman? Daddy, did we go to the wrong movie? Haha, this is actually a good thing, because the depth that builds within the character- BEFORE he dons the outfit/costume, has to be seen to be believed. He doesn't pull his ability of hand-to-hand combat out of thin air. He doesn't glide through the night just because he can, and he doesn't dress like a bat because he loves bats. No, he actually hates them with a passion. The mightiest moment of the movie to me is when he flicks away a taser like it's nothing. The moment isn't spoiled by the fact that it isn't a super-power, but rather it's enhanced because it shows how prepared Bruce Wayne is to now take on the Gotham underworld. Just a powerful movie! It is one of my favorites. As a youngster I loved the earlier versions for their glamour and action, and as an adult I love the newer movie for its inspiration and powerful story...
