Batman as the Dark Knight should be!!
I have been a fan of Batman for as long as I can remember and ever since the comic book movie renisannce began I was hoping that Warner Brothers would take another shot at a Batman movie. This movie outside of the original Batman is probably the best Batman flick ever. I have to qualify this performance as 2nd to the original Tim Burton film for 2 reasons. The first being that this movie, like it or not, borrows heavily from the style of the first film (fans had never seen Batman's signature Grapple Gun or black Batsuit until Burton's film realized them, for example) and second because without the first film this film may never have been created. HOWEVER, this is the first live-action Batman film to actually focus on....Batman. While the other films recognized the importance of developing the villian, Batman Begins realizes the importance of developing the hero.
