More Detail

I've been asked to explain myself on Batman.

Why it is so good:
1) The imagery and cinematics. The movie is artistically done and is very nice on the eye. Very dark, too.

2) Christian Bale- Plays a very good lost, bitter guy. Looks damn good dirty and scruffy. Cleans up to be a perfectly respectable badass.

3) Michael Kaine. HELLO?

4) Only movie I've seen recently with a strong female character who lacks a cheesy girl-power line. I guess the writer understands that sometimes Tazers speak louder than words.

5) It's not just about Bruce Wayne. A very good chunk of the movie is Batman. And the part that isn't is just as sweet and sexy as the part that is. Also, young Bruce Wayne is a complete asshole. Makes for some very amusing moments.

6) Very good score.

7) "The BAT- maaaaaan."
