In my perfect world, Batman Begins wouldn’t have shown the suit until the last frames of the film, as this version of Batman’s origin was so compelling that I wanted Nolan to continue to explore it, but if this film is any indication of what’s to come, we can look forward to a franchise that not only entertains as summer popcorn fare, it might just have the chance to deliver a great film to boot.  Put away your lightsabers and put on your capes, kids.  Batman just became king of the summer.  It may not make the cash that Sith did, but it’s 100 times a superior film.  And after all, how often do you get to say “Man, I wish Rutger Hauer had a bigger role”?

Okay, that would scare the hell out of me
