I was a bit skeptical about this one, but wound up thoroughly impressed by Christopher Nolan’s dark, realistic interpretation of the material. Katie Holmes is irritating (she tries too hard to be plucky), but the cast is otherwise excellent, and although I still slightly prefer Tim Burton’s 1989 version, I think Christian Bale makes a better bat than Michael Keaton.
