FINALLY!!!!!
A REAL Batman film! BB junks all 4 of the previous films which, including the first, were little more than travesty to true Batman fans; they played with the legend, departed radically from the comic books, created stuff that never "existed," involved scores of implausable-even-at-comic-book-level situations and characters, had villians that were more strange and/or stupid than menacing, pityable dialogue, and worst of all, made you endure musical interludes (well, the first one, anyway).BB strips away all the crap and gives us Batman the way he should be portrayed in the Dark Knight era. It's got a telented cast, a razor-sharp script, and a followable plot that's totally in synch with the legend. Yeah, the film has a few flaws -- particularly a certain so-called "actress" in a semi-key role -- but for the most part, it's entertaining and dead-on in its portrayals. Bale and Oldman are real standouts in particular,The next in the series oughta be great!!
