This should do for prequels what GODFATHER 2 did for sequels, and it needs to be said that the movie itself is just as fine as its celebrated star's performance. Though it surely will not make the kind of money Marvel kiddie-crap usually strives for, this violent journey into the dark side of mental illness seems geared toward satisfying more adventurous audiences. So leave the kids and impressionable teens at home, and take a walk on the wild side with Mr. Phoenix through these very dark, very mean streets of Gotham.
