 Rating:  - Grim & Gritty Version of the Dark Knight, As Bob Kane Would've Liked!Bruce Wayne's parents brutally murdered -- Bruce comes to terms with his fears and grief and revenge to become a symbol for justice and an avenger.

It does not do this just from a few ... Read More Rating: - Master Your FearThe Good Things *Some good action scenes, especially at the end. Special effects are very unique. *Excellent filming style and cinematography. It's a little choppy and weird, but also very detailed and vivid. Also very dark, moody, and realistic. *Storyline is great, and makes perfect sense as long as you pay attention. *Less emphasis on outlandish bad guys and gadgets and stuff and greater emphasis on fighting crime on the streets and doing actual police-type work. *What ...
