This is going to be the best Batman ever!

It was really good! Like some of the other recent superhero movies.

It is. Frank Miller would be proud. He's not credited, but this one truly owes Miller's Year One.

Christian Bale is very cool. I thought the entire cast of the movie carried the day despite a contrived plot.

And it was, it really, really was the best Batman ever. I was impressed. Christian Bale was great. I expected to be disappointed, after the last Batmans and hearing that it would be 'dark'. For me, the thorn among the roses was Katie Holmes as the lead female. The young version of her character did a great job. But I just don't care for Tom's female clone of himself.

Today I saw Batman Begins. I thought it was terrific, better than the 1989 Batman, which itself was pretty good.

This one captures the "Dark Knight" feel very well. Gotham City is corrupt, dark, and dangerous. The Batmobile is fantastic!

The lead, Christian Bale, is a good choice for Bruce Wayne/Batman--he has the look, the voice, etc. Also well-cast are Michael Caine as Alfred (he's especially good), Gary Oldman as Gordon, Morgan Freeman as sort of a counterpart to 007's gadget guru, and Liam Neeson as Wayne's mentor. Katie Holmes as the love interest/Asst. DA is OK--not great, but OK. There are a few other key characters--a crime boss, a crooked cop, a spooky court psychiatrist.

Kept my interest throughout, very entertaining.

It was the best of all the Batman movies. I loved it...it seemed more true to the Batman I knew and loved from the comic books.
