I was not too sure what to expect. I have not seen too many of the more recent Batmans since the run of actors playing them continued to change. I did see Christian Bale in a portion of one and Ben Affleck in League of Justice. They both did okay, but I was not too sure what to expect.
However, I have to admit that I was more than impressed with the movie. In fact, it might be one of my top three favorites in the series (the other two being the first two Michael Keaton ones). Now, I must admit that Bri and I were late to the movie (Emmie and Kiff were already there). Bri was a little under the weather, but she was able to overcome it and we were able to get to the movie in time for the second half of it.
Normally, I might be confused, but the plot was clear and fluid and I was able to infer what had happened prior to it (with gaps I am sure). The acting was solid, the story line engaging, and the characters were appealing. There was the birth of so many interesting characters here, including Catwoman (played by Lenny Kravitz and Lisa Bonet's daughter - and Aquaman's stepdaughter), Penguin, the Riddler, and - at the end - the Joker.
It definitely had a dark undertone, but none of the harsh DC Batman darkness that has prevailed most of the movies. This movie was great....and I am so glad we went.
