Amen, brother! I love what Chris Nolan has done here...he’s taken a classic comic book character and portrayed him with a deep, dark, amazing storyline. As epic as TDK looks (and rest assured it is the most epic Batman movie so far), it actually tells a very deep, personal story.
I saw the Incredible Hulk trailer before Iron Man, and I must say, it does look good. I had my doubts at first, but it seems to be a huge step up from the last one. Who knows? Maybe this one will actually have moments of humor in it.
By taking the path of The Dark Knight instead of Batman, Nolan completely restored the character. I saw “Begins” with some hesitation, but was blown away. That’s what The Batman was meant to be, dark, gritty and driven.
But, it’s not like they really had far to go though. Tim Burton wasn’t up to the task.
The Michael Keaton Batman was almost painful to watch, and while I thought Bale wouldn’t have been my first choice to resurrect the franchise, I was dead wrong. He did a wonderful job in Begins.
Hopefully there’s more to come.
