I think the cinematography is great, the use of the dark sets is tops, and the plot is well thought out. The use of titles is superb. However, the odd thing to me is that almost every element of Bob Kane's "Batman" comics is seen here in the criminal called "the bat." He leaves messages addressed to the police commissioner, he wears a bat-head shaped mask, he climbs on roofs, etc. As a big fan of Kane's "Batman," I truly love this movie. One of the silent era's sleeping gems.
