The last two Batman movies were a tremendous disapointmen. So, when I heard that Christopher Nolan (MEMENTO, THE FOLLOWING) was signed on to direct the new Batman movie, I thought things might change. Then I saw a cast list that included Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, Cillian Murphy, Liam Neeson, Ken Watanabe, and Christian Bale as Batman, I felt like we could finally have a good Batman movie.
This was a terrific movie. It had an interesting take on the Batman saga, showing you not only his rebirth as Batman, but how he learned all his fighting skill. It portrays Bruce Wayne as a man who was lost, never able to shake his responsibility for his parent's death. He finds redemption in his training, and an image to strike fear into those who would hurt the innocent. Katie Holmes is unimpressive in her performance, but everyone else is fantastic.Worth the price of admission. In fact, I'd see it again.
