The DARK KNIGHT THE WAY HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN..
Finally, a writer/director has finally given the avenger of the night his due. I'd like to give it 4 1/2 stars but it's not possible. This was a nicely done action/comicbook drama that should have been done in 1989. TIM BURTON's first 2 BATMAN films were decent but it didn't do the main character justice, the other movies went downhill, Batman and Robin being the worst! CHRISTOPHER NOLAN (director of memento,Blade)has finally done his homework and came up with a movie that actually is a close persona of the Batman after his re-vamp in the late 80's.Christian Bale does an excellent job potraying Bruce Wayne, you can feel his pain and obsession with avenging his parents. The WAYNE PERSONA is important because he is the driving force why the Caped crusader is the best at what he does. The movie does a very good potrayal of how he came to be, where he gets his gadgets and stuff. Liamm Neeson is great and the scarecrow was well, scary.The only complaint I have would be the costume design. It still looks bulky and the cape is a mistake. If you really want to see what Batman is suppose to look like, check out the fan film, BATMAN:DEAD END. The mask and the eyes are perfect. The Batman is believable as a terrifying winged creature of the night.Overall the movie itself was great. Set designs were in infallible, the new Batmobile was unstoppable and Morgan Freeman was Lucius Fox. Ras al Ghul is my favorite villain. I just hope Nolan does a good Joker like in the fan film mentioned above.I want the original Bat-suit!!I'm buying the DVD!
