Arguably one of the best starts to a trilogy since The Matrix. Excellent story and script. Really happy they decided to go with someone other than Batman's biggest foe in the first film. Nearly perfect rebooted origin story. Genius move to set the story in as real and as grounded of a setting as possible. Really saved this franchise from the merciless fisting Joel Schumacher gave to it.

After 1997's 'Batman & Robin', it seemed that there was no future for Batman in cinema. Christopher Nolan took a dead franchise and managed to reignite the flame with this greatly cinematic and entertaining superhero film.

We waited for years to get a new and better "Batman" movie than the one we got back in 1997 with "Batman & Robin" which was a complete disaster. This movie is probably the best of all the "Batman" movies to ever be released. Christopher Nolan reinvents this iconic character in the most humane way we have ever seen the character in before. It's also the greatest way we have ever seen. Christian Bale is a very good Batman, but I don't believe in his judgment all the time, taking a scene where he is about to kill a man, but fails when the same man is killed by another assassin. I didn't really get his full emotion in that scene, but he is still very good. Liam Neeson is the best villain for Batman to take on as he inhabits the iconic villain Ra's al Ghul who we all know from the comicbooks. This is a great movie that I can't help but love even more every single time I watch the movie.

Reinvigorating the Batman character is no easy task, but director Christopher Nolan succeeds on every count by giving us a layered, complex and engaging character piece on the dark knight himself, one that cements itself as both a great homage to the comics as well as a brilliant piece of filmmaking.
