A NEW REFRESHING BATMAN
First off, I really liked the BATMAN in the 80s with Michael Keaton. That said, this take on Batman is just better.Why?Well, yes, they've got CGI and a better budget to help them out and the cast is arguably more known. But the big thing is that it's true to the actual comic books. For instance, unlike the older BATMAN, the Joker didn't kill Bruce Wayne's parents.Also consider that big name actors chose small roles to be in this . . . most notably Morgan Freeman.Action scenes are purposefully fast to make it more realistic.Character of Batman is far well-defined than in any other Batman movie. Several payoff dialogues add closure to the tale (i.e. with Katie Holmes, the homeless dude and Rutger Hauer).Enjoy!
