Quicktime
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution: B+
"The picture repeatedly stresses the human side of Batman, reminding us he has no superpowers, just skill, wits and an ability to manipulate fear, which is one of the film's themes."
Austin American-Statesman: 3 of 5 stars
"Credibility seems to be the movie's watchword. Nolan goes out of his way to hammer home the core of Batman's appeal: that with an iron will and a massive fortune, you, too, could perfect your body, dress up like a bat and fight crime."
Dayton Daily News: B+
"... sets the stage for a sequel and, in contrast to Schumacher's films, it leaves fans eager for more."
Middletown Journal: A
"... not only brings the hero back with a vengeance, it has vengeance coursing through almost every scene."
The Palm Beach Post: B-
"Only the most rabid fans are likely to be fully satisfied, but this is not the embarrassment of the recent installments."
The Palm Beach Post "Flick Chick"
"Batman's back, baby, and he's still brooding all over the scenery... He's buff. He's tough. And he's something of a drama queen."
