This version of Batman has a very dark, murky, gothic tone to it. While there are some comical moments, it's probably the most serious and realistic version of the caped crusader to date and I prefer it that way.
What do you think of this version of Batman?

It has to be the most quotable movie ever.
Stands up there with The Dark Knight as the best Batman movie. I always get a blast out of Keaton in any movie.
