Comparing Nolan's Batman to Burton's
PostedJuly 21, 2008

I must admit there's a part of me that misses the stylized Batman films by Tim Burton. However, one is hard pressed to find flaws in the re imagining of the franchise by Christopher Nolan. The gritty world here is far more realistic than anything in the earlier films, and it would be much more difficult for the series to descend into the silliness of the Schumaker films as it stands now.
The Dark Knight is a substantial improvement over Batman Begins and Heath Ledger's performance lives up to the hype. The scenes presented in the previews don't start to represent the brilliance of his performance.
My only reservation would be to be careful allowing preteens to see the film since the violence is much less cartoonish than many might expect from a Batman film. Still, fans of the comic should be used to this style and will probably find it refreshing.

Yes, I recommend this movie.
