I caught this on Prime and had never heard of the film or knew anything about it other than the quick ten second peek I took to see a little of the film trailer. I told myself, "give the movie ten minutes, and if you're bored, turn it off." Well, once I started it, I fell in love with the characters, the scenery, and the performances.

This movie is a beautiful and realistic trip back to 1999 and then we fast forward a bit to 2010. I don't know what the actors or make up department did to de-age or age the characters, but so much of this film was incredible and beautiful and so well done. I rarely "love" films but I have to say, this is one that touched me deeply. Sorry to be corny, but it's an awesome movie.

There have been many Batman films and TV shows since the 1940's and you can see all of them on streaming, some better than others. Tubi has the 1940'S shows and some of the 1990's films, while Netflix and Prime have more current flicks and toons.

Batman the Animated Series is probably the best version of Batman that stays true to his story and offers a dark and gritty film noir-like atmosphere. Yes, kids watched this show but there is no reason adults won't be glued to the mature and tragic themes as well. Though the series was filmed in the 1990's, it's still very current and beautiful to look at. Though I like West and Keaton and Affleck as Batman, and still need to watch Pattinson, nothing is better than BTAS IMO. A great and timeless show for all fans of the character.
