Gimly

9/10

This blending of _Batman: The Dark Knight Part 1_ and _Part 2_, released as a single cohesive whole under the subtitle _(Deluxe Edition)_, is, quite simply, the best superhero movie ever put to screen. A testament to what can be done by basically translating your source material shot-for-shot. It can't always work, but here? Boy does it ever. _Final rating:★★★★½ - Ridiculously strong appeal. I can’t stop thinking…
