I watched Batman Begins Thursday night and I'm really glad I did. This film does an excellent job of taking the mood of Dark Knight and adding in the themes of Batman Begins in a way to bring a satisfying ending to Nolan's trilogy. You feel as if the whole ride was worth the journey. But it was also done in a such a way to keep familiar Batman folklore in tact. The new players in this film (Hathaway, Gordon-Levitt, Hardy) were good additions. I'm still not in love with Bane's voice and the execution wasn't good. He always sounded like an off-screen narrator and it was never convincing that his voice was a natural part of the scenes. But, Bane was a very strong presence on screen and Wayne's heroic journey was deserved.
