One of the stronger Batman films, but not perfect

I find Christopher Nolan's darker take on Batman to be inspired and enjoyable. I don't often enjoy super hero origin stories, as I find them predictable and slow, and this isn't much of an exception. The middle of the film gets bogged down and I found myself wishing that Batman could become Batman already and get to the action. Speaking of action - some of the sequences with the Scarecrow and creepy and memorable, but the sequences with Liam Neeson's villain aren't as well-executed as I've seen in other films. Serves to set the tone of the series, but still a bit long and overblown.
