Spoiler Alert:
For those who liked Joel Schumaker's Batman, do not go and see this film, there is no neon or bat-nipples anywhere!!!!!
IMO this is the best comic adaptation so far. Next to Sin City this is the darkest comic adapt so far. So what makes this movie so enjoyable? What Chris Nolan has achieved is the most plausible super hero story to reach the big screen so far. For those of you who feel that other movies in this genre are watered down to appease young kids, rejoice, for Nolan has unleashed the most tortured,sadistic,vengefull Batman upon us.
This is an ultra-realistic Batman, even the villans of the piece are scarily realistic,especially mob boss Falcone and Cillian Murphy's brilliant if slightly underused Scarecrow. The pace of the film can be a little slow, especially the set up story which takes up most of the first hour, but unlike previous attempts, we learn so much more about how Bruce Wayne becomes Batman, and the journey that lead him there.
On the whole this is the Batman movie I've been waiting for, dark, gothic, sleek and believable. Bale is superb, he handles the duality of his role with relish, and is by far the most realistic caped crusader to date. The supporting cast is excellent as well, great performances from Michael Caine, Gary Oldman and Liam Neeson, and a special mention for Morgan Frreman, he excells as Lucious Fox.
There is a twist at the end, and it does set up the sequel nicely, can't wait to see what Nolan does with this franchise.
