My Favourite Superhero Film

Christian Bale is the best Batman ever since Michael Keaton. We quickly cared for him because we learned about his traumatic past and he eventually becomes a person that wants to lead Gotham out of the criminals' hands. Batman is my favourite superhero because he doesn't have or need superpowers to save people. Instead, he uses his own fear against evil-doers so that they would fear what he fears. I think this film embodied that and it was spot-on. Michael Cane is really funny in this film as Alfred. It's nice to have him as a breath of fresh air when things get a little too serious. Cillain Murphy is perfect as Scarecrow because of his steely blue eyes that seem to penetrate your soul. Not only that, every scene he's in, he dominates because he delivers his lines so devilishly, it's nothing short of perfection. Last, but not least, is Morgan Freeman as Lucius Fox; in a way, he's like Alfred because he has a perfect comic timing. And who doesn't like Morgan Freeman? This definately reboots the entire Batman franchise and the best since "Batman Returns." "The Dark Knight" is coming out summer of 2008 and I hope it does as great a job (or better--which will be a definite challenge) than this film.
