This film alone totally re-writes how Super Hero-comic book movies are made, and will be made. With an intelligent script and unbelievable acting performances, I fear this may never be duplicated. Hopefully Hollwood will take notice and understand that the public really does like things played to the vest and most importantly, not to judge them. By sticking very close to the true identity of Bruce Wayne and Batman, they have set the new standard. Audiences do not want to be insulted by producers or hollywood big shots thinking they know what will play in the heartland. What plays (everywhere), is staying true to the characters and storyline. Batman is in reality, a vigilante. He is the Dark Knight. Finally, Hollywood got it right!
