One Happy Bat Geek

I saw Batman Begins last night and I nearly cried when it ended ...

4/5 - the best Batman film by far. Harsh, believable and scary. Batman (rather than just Bruce or the villains) works for the first time; he finally becomes the star and is both believable and effective. With a good balance of action, drama and wit it's as good as Spiderman (with which it shares a similar structure) only darker.

If you don't believe me, that's OK I'm not offended, check out the Empire review.

If you have no idea what I'm going on about, shame on you, go immediately to BBC News and read their history of the Batman films. Do Not Pass Go. Do Not collect £200.

Then go to DC Comics and discover the source ...
