The Dark Knight Returns
It can be argued the Tim Burton's artistic direction of Batman and Batman Returns could never be duplicated. But the good news is director Christopher Nolan does not try to remake any past incarnation of the Batman character, he creates anew. Being the director of films imbued with dark characters (Following, Momento, Insomnia) Nolan is the perfect choice to take on the Dark Knight. And for those who didn't know the name Christian Bale before his turn here as the young Bruce Wayne/Batman, will certainly be taking notice now. Batman Begins is truly a new start for the Batman franchise. It may have too much story and too little superhero action for some viewers, but the fact is: this film could not have been done much better.
