Final Word; A very (very) faithful adaption of the most influential Batman story ever told. Rather than talk at length of the story, which would almost serve as a review of the comic, I'll instead point out the aspects that relate entirely to the film.
While most of the acting is top-draw, like Bryan Cranston's gruff Jim Gordon, some of the voices feel a little 'made-for-television'. Brian McKenzie (of O.C fame) feels particularly misscast as the titular Dark Knight, although his softer portrayal was always going to suffer with Christian Bale's interpretation being so well established and fresh in the mind. The animation is mostly adequate, and despite some modern stylings the visuals pays tribute to the artwork of the source material. Unfortunately it is occasionally let down by moments of poor CGI, but still, none of this will spoil anybodies enjoyment of what is a superior Batman story- and there can be no disputing the level of influence this has had on Nolan's trilogy.
Watch it, and read the comic.
