Ratings and reviews

An absolutely top notch rendering of one the Dark Knight's finest tales. What was a classic comic book has become a classic animation. All of the best moments from the original book are represented in this version. Amazing story, classic characters, awesome action.....and this is all in Batman's FIRST year of crimefighting. The best origin story movie for any comic book character available.
