雖然過往的batman系列越拍越差，但這一齣的cast卻不錯….
導演是”凶心人”、”白夜追兇”的chrisotopher nolan，蝙蝠俠是”equilibrium”裏的christian bale，還有”matrix”系列的morpheus – Laurence Fishburne，也是”兇心人”的guy pearce和robert de niro。很吸引的cast呀…而且故事會從新來過，應該會很有新意才對。
回想蝙蝠俠系列，最成功的就是tim burton的”Batman”及”Batman returns”，裏面用黑色描寫蝙蝠俠的陰沉一面，跟其他英雄片的格調大有不同。returns中引入的貓女michelle pfeiffer也目當不錯，而貓女一角將會開拍另一套電影，由Oscar影后Halley Berry擔綱( Catwoman )。
今次蝙蝠俠的演員合約是三集的，也就是說電影公司有意讓蝙蝠俠系列一洗頹風，重頭來過。至於說故事會是Character, story driven，而特技也比較少，聽上去不錯，但仍抱觀望態度啦….
