...I was grateful they didn't split the film into two, rather deciding to flesh out the points they did.Not too bad for an adult comic book story - a fantastic look into the mind of terror, humanity overcoming the anihilation paradox, what spawns evil acts, etc. etc.
For me, "Dark Knight" out did "Begins", but had me grumbling at the conclusion that symbolic perception outweighs the simple truth - as if people "can't handle the truth" (A Few Good Men).
Untruth is distortion, and distortions obscure otherwise good reason. Don't blame solution for the problem.
Ledger was mesmerizing. "Dr. Phibes" (make-up) was distracting.
