Not a Batman Fan
I have to qualify this review with the following disclaimer... I never followed the comic book series or cartoons as a kid or teen. I'm just an adult female who LOVES movies, especially superhero flicks. Now, with that said, I have never been a fan of the Batman franchise. I found the earlier Batman films, despite their all-star credibilities, be "over the top" in every deparment (set, acting, dialogue). As a fan of Christian Bale, however, I was anxious to see the Batman Begins installment. Bale is an amazing actor, even in his younger days with Empire of the Sun to much later with American Psycho or a little more recently with The Mechanic. This was the finest of all the Batman films - darker and with more depth. It was good enough for this non-Batman fan to purchase for my home collection.
