When watching begins what was amusing is seeing gary oldman and michael caine acting all manic and trying to over act because they did not want to stuff up the bat franchise. And for gods sake would someone just give gary oldman some water becaue he looked like he was about to have a nervous breakdown in TDK.
christian bale gave a very dull performance and even though i like michael caine his acting is not great.
Gary Oldman is one of the UK's finest actors, whether as Dracula, a dreadlocked pimp, a corporate tyrant, a russian terrorist or Batman's closest ally. They based his look on the comic Gordon, i think he's perfect for the role.
Michael Caine is an excellent Alfred, providing some light-hearted humour and charm.
Bale balances both the role of spoilt rich playboy and dark vigilante well, if you can ignore his troubled upbringing and recent troubles.
